商品描述

This book is an interdisciplinary study of the engagement with and representation of the face across literature, photography, and theatre. It looks at how the face is an active agent, closely connected with the history of the media and the social interactions reflected in media images. Focusing on the dynamic period of the interwar years, it explores a range of case studies in Poland, UK, and the US, and examines artists like Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz (Witkacy), Virginia Woolf, Debora Vogel, Sir Cecil Beaton, Theodore Wladyslaw Benda, and Edward Gordon Craig. Teresa Bruś argues that these writers and photographers defended the face against threats from modern life - not least, the media. She focuses on transformations of the face in life writing across a range of media and draws attention to the artists' autobiographical narratives.

Teresa Bruś is Associate Professor in the Institute of English Studies at Wroclaw University, Poland. She has published onvarious aspects of life writing and photography in journals, including Biography, European Journal of Life Writing, Prose Studies, and Connotations. She is the author of Life Writing as Self-Collecting in the 1930s: Cecil Day Lewis and Louis MacNeice (2012).

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是一項跨學科的研究，探討文學、攝影和戲劇中對面孔的參與和表現。它考察了面孔作為一個主動的代理者，與媒體歷史及媒體影像中反映的社會互動之間的密切聯繫。專注於兩次世界大戰之間的動態時期，書中探討了波蘭、英國和美國的一系列案例研究，並檢視了如斯坦尼斯瓦夫·伊格納茨·維特基維奇（Witkacy）、維吉尼亞·伍爾夫、德博拉·沃戈爾、塞西爾·比頓爵士、西奧多·瓦迪斯瓦夫·本達和愛德華·戈登·克雷格等藝術家。特蕾莎·布魯斯（Teresa Bruś）主張這些作家和攝影師捍衛面孔，抵抗現代生活的威脅——尤其是媒體的威脅。她專注於在各種媒體中生活寫作中面孔的變化，並引起人們對藝術家自傳敘事的關注。

特蕾莎·布魯斯是波蘭弗羅茨瓦夫大學英語研究所的副教授。她在多個期刊上發表了有關生活寫作和攝影的各種主題，包括《Biography》、《European Journal of Life Writing》、《Prose Studies》和《Connotations》。她是《1930年代的生活寫作作為自我收集：塞西爾·戴·路易斯和路易斯·麥克尼斯克》（2012）的作者。
