Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | "Critical Approaches to Sjón: North of the Sun is the first English-language book-length study of the works of the Icelandic contemporary poet, Sigurjón Birgir Sigurðsson, who is considered by some to be Iceland's most distinctive and multifaceted contemporary author. This collection of essays introduces readers to Sjón's rich body of writing and its transmedial and stylistic range, cultural breadth, thematic diversity, and intellectual depth. Essays in the volume have been brought together from around the world and cover Sjóns's beginnings as a neo-surrealist performance artist and poet (translated into over twenty languages), his career as a novelist (translated into over thirty languages), and his collaborations with translators, singer-songwriters, film directors, and other writers. Approaches range from the narratological, historical, ethical, epistemological, and mythological to theoretical methodologies such as thing theory, queer theory, disability studies, and ecocriticism." |
