Exploring French Text Analysis introduces students of French to a
range of methods of text analysis, including stylistics and
discourse analysis.
The editors provide a clear framework for analysing written French
critically. Through a series of commentaries on a range of texts by
different contributors, they present a variety of models for
readers to follow.
The texts have been carefully chosen both to illustrate key points
of language analysis and to present a picture of national identity.
Texts including adverts, newspapers, magazines, travel writing,
fiction and political texts cover a range of topics such as food,
sport, law and the arts. The book also includes a comprehensive
glossary of linguistic terms.
Postcolonial Manchester offers a radical new perspective on
Britain's devolved literary cultures by focusing on Manchester's
vibrant, multicultural literary scene. Referencing Avtar Brah's
concept of 'diaspora space', the authors argue that Manchester is,
and always has been, a quintessentially migrant city to which
workers of all nationalities and cultures have been drawn since its
origins in the cotton trade and expansion of the British Empire.
This colonial legacy - and the inequalities upon which it turns -
is a recurrent motif in the texts and poetry performances of the
contemporary Mancunian writers featured, many of them members of
the city's long-established African, African-Caribbean, Asian,
Chinese, Irish and Jewish diasporic communities. By turning the
spotlight on Manchester's rich, yet under-represented, literary
tradition, this book also argues for the devolution of the canon of
English Literature and recognition for contemporary black and Asian
literary culture. -- .
