{"product_id":"9780821441190","title":"Framing the Polish Home: Postwar Cultural Constructions of Hearth, Nation, and Self","description":"As the subject of ideological, aesthetic, and existential manipulations, the Polish home and its representation is an ever-changing phenomenon that absorbs new tendencies and, at the same time, retains its centrality to Polish literature, whether written in Poland or abroad. \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eFraming the Polish Home\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is a pioneering work that explores the idea of home as fundamental to the question of cultural and national identity within Poland's recent history and its tradition.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this inaugural volume of the \u003ci\u003ePolish and Polish-American Studies Series\u003c\/i\u003e, the Polish home emerges in its rich verbal and visual representations and multiple material embodiments, as the discussion moves from the loss of the home during wartime to the Sovietized politics of housing and from the exilic strategies of having a home to the the idyllic evocation of the abodes of the past.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Although, as Bozena Shallcross notes in her introduction, “few concepts seem to have such universal appeal as the notion of the home,” this area of study is still seriously underdeveloped. In essays from sixteen scholars, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eFraming the Polish Home\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e takes a significant step to correct that oversight, covering a broad range of issues pertinent to the discourse on the home and demonstrating the complexity of the home in Polish literature and culture.","brand":"Ohio University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107487924464,"sku":"9780821441190","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780821441190_p0.jpg?v=1763748847","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780821441190","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
