    Writing the Reader. Configurations of a Cultural Practice in the English Novel (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: The history of the novel is also a history of shifting views of the value of novel reading. This study investigates how novels themselves participate in this development by featuring reading as a multidimensional cultural practice. English novels about obsessive reading, written in times of medial transition, serve as test cases for a model that brings together analyses of form and content.

    The Wolves at My Shadow: The Story of Ingelore Rothschild (2021)
    Athabasca University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Ingelore Rothschild was twelve years old when she was whisked out of her home in 1936. It was her first step on a cross-continent journey to Japan, where she and her parents sought refuge from rising anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany. A decade later, as she sails away from what has become her home in Kobe, Japan, Ingelore records her memories of life in Berlin, the long train journey through Russia, and her time in Japan during World War II.Each leg of the journey presents its own nightmare: passports are stolen, identities are uncovered, a mudslide tears through the Rothschild’s home, and the atomic bombs are dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Ingelore’s bright, observant nature and remarkable capacity for befriending those along her way fills her narrative with unique details about the people she meets and the places she travels to. The story of Ingelore and her prominent German Jewish family’s escape is an invaluable account that contributes to Holocaust witness and memoir literature. Although she was forever marked by her traumatic past, Ingelore’s survival story is a painful reminder that only European Jews with significant financial means were able to carefully orchestrate an escape from Nazi Germany.

    O romance policial místico-religioso: um subgênero de sucesso (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora UNESP
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: "Desde o século XIX, com o célebre detetive Auguste Dupin, de Edgar Allan Poe, e a extensa cadeia de personagens e narrativas de mistério que em maior ou menor medida descenderam dali – passamos, nesse prolífico percurso, por Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Raymond Chandler, só para citar alguns autores –, o gênero policial foi se consolidando e, enquanto expandia progressivamente seu público, matizava-se e assumia novas formas. Este estudo, fruto de longa pesquisa a partir dos livros mais vendidos no Brasil no início do século XXI, debruça-se sobre o romance policial “místico-religioso”, subgênero definido por Fernanda Massi que se distancia um pouco das características tradicionais do romance policial: nessas tramas, o crime se conecta a um segredo ligado a um núcleo místico-religioso, em geral protegido por uma sociedade fechada e secreta às voltas com o que ela supõe ser um inimigo ameaçador. O repórter/investigador (que em tais obras nunca é chamado de detetive) busca uma verdade que supera a identificação do criminoso, tendo como alvo principal o segredo motivador dos crimes. Outra característica singular é a tentativa, quase frequente, de desmoralização da Igreja Católica. Isto ocorre através da oposição /ocultação/ vs. /revelação/ de um segredo, fazendo que esse subgênero tenha grande sucesso de público, uma vez que promete revelações surpreendentes sobre essa poderosa instituição."

    Literary Translation, Reception, and Transfer (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: The three concepts mentioned in the title of this volume imply the contact between two or more literary phenomena they are based on similarities that are related to a form of ‘travelling’ and imitation or adaptation of entire texts, genres, forms or contents. Transfer comprises all sorts of ‘travelling’, with translation as a major instrument of transferring literature across linguistic and cultural barriers. Transfer aims at the process of communication, starting with the source product and its cultural context and then highlighting the mediation by certain agents and institutions to end up with inclusion in the target culture. Reception lays its focus on the receiving culture, especially on critcism, reading, and interpretation. Translation, therefore, forms a major factor in reception with the general aim of reception studies being to reveal the wide spectrum of interpretations each text offers. Moreover, translations are the prime instrument in the distribution of literature across linguistic and cultural borders thus, they pave the way for gaining prestige in the world of literature. The thirty-eight papers included in this volume and dedicated to research in this area were previously read at the ICLA conference 2016 in Vienna. They are ample proof that the field remains at the center of interest in Comparative Literature.

    Idades e género na literatura e na arte da Grécia antiga (2021)
    Coimbra University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: This volume puts forward several reflections about the idea of age and gender in Ancient Greece. It brings together seven studies by Spanish, Portuguese and Argentinian researchers. The essays gathered here are based upon information from different sources: literary, iconographic, epigraphic, and social. They do not focus on the citizen, i.e. on the adult male as the citizen, according to Aristotle’s definition, but on children, elderly, maidens. Even the field of male prostitution is explored. It is a study which, based on the abundant bibliography which has developed over recent years on these issues, offers an overall reflection on the margins of citizenship seen from the parameters of gender and age.

    The Poetry and Prose of Wang Wie. Volume 2 (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Wang Wei has traditionally been considered one of the greatest of Tang dynasty poets, together with Li Bo and Du Fu. This is the first complete translation into English of all of his poems, and also the first substantial translation of a selection of his prose writings. For the first time, readers encountering his work in English translation will get a comprehensive understanding of Wang Wei‘s range as a poet and prose writer. In spite of the importance of Wang Wei's poetry in the history of Chinese literature, no one has attempted a complete translation of all of his surviving poems moreover, even though he was known for his skill in composing prose pieces in the recognized genres of his day (especially as a writer of commissioned compositions), very little of his prose has been translated. This translation will enable students with limited or no knowledge of Chinese to get a full sense of Wang Wei's compositional range. Moreover, since Wang Wei was known for being a devout Buddhist, having the complete poetry available in reliable translation as well as all of the prose that is connected to the Buddhist faith will be useful to students of Chinese religion.

    SciELO Books - Editora UNESP
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Autor dos mais estudados da literatura brasileira, a atuação de Machado de Assis como poeta, no entanto, só mais recentemente tem recebido a devida atenção da crítica. Sendo assim, o estudo de Fabiana Gonçalves vem suprir uma lacuna que de há muito era sentida pelos pesquisadores machadianos. A pesquisa com as Poesias completas, obra publicada em 1901, visou não apenas estudar a produção poética, como também investigar a figura do editor Machado de Assis na organização da antologia.

    Love and its Critics : From the Song of Songs to Shakespeare and Milton's Eden (2021)
    Open Book Publishers
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: This book is a history of love and the challenge love offers to the laws and customs of its times and places, as told through poetry from the Song of Songs to John Milton's Paradise Lost. It is also an account of the critical reception afforded to such literature, and the ways in which criticism has attempted to stifle this challenge. Bryson and Movsesian argue that the poetry they explore celebrates and reinvents the love the troubadour poets of the eleventh and twelfth centuries called fin'amor: love as an end in itself, mutual and freely chosen even in the face of social, religious, or political retribution. Neither eros nor agape, neither exclusively of the body, nor solely of the spirit, this love is a middle path. Alongside this tradition has grown a critical movement that employs a ‘hermeneutics of suspicion', in Paul Ricoeur's phrase, to claim that passionate love poetry is not what it seems, and should be properly understood as worship of God, subordination to Empire, or an entanglement with the structures of language itself - in short, the very things it resists. The book engages with some of the seminal literature of the Western canon, including the Bible, the poetry of Ovid, and works by English authors such as William Shakespeare and John Donne, and with criticism that stretches from the earliest readings of the Song of Songs to contemporary academic literature. Lively and enjoyable in its style, it attempts to restore a sense of pleasure to the reading of poetry, and to puncture critical insistence that literature must be outwitted. It will be of value to professional, graduate, and advanced undergraduate scholars of literature, and to the educated general reader interested in treatments of love in poetry throughout history.

    Narrative and Narrativity in Ancient Egypt (2023)
    Widmaier Verlag
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-30
    Description: The volume collects the result of the project Altägyptische Erzählungen in Texten und Bildern: Ägyptologische Perspektiven auf zentrale Axiome einer historischen Text- und Bildnarratologie. It presents a sound methodological perspective for an analysis of the medial diversity and the historical uniqueness of the Ancient Egyptian narrative culture at the interface of contemporary narratological theories and Egyptological practise. A methodological introduction by Gerald Moers and four case studies on categories of narrative artefacts as diverse as texts, images, and tombs argue in favour of appropriately adjusting narratological theories – instead of just using them – with respect to the historically specific differences of the Egyptian narrative behaviour. Based on a cognitive approach that defines human experience as generally framed in a narrative manner, the contributions define narrative as a phenomenon that is neither restricted to nor defined by one medium that would be considered paradigmatically narrative. The study by Camilla di Biase-Dyson on the Egyptian term s.Dd, which has so far been understood as to refer to linear verbal narrative, argues for a much more complex and sophisticated semantics of the term as defining a specifically Egyptian understanding of what narrative is. In a similar manner, the analysis of certain spells from the Pyramid Texts by Kristina Hutter and Dina Serova establishes the existence of narrative coherence in a genre of texts that has so far been considered as being non-narrative by definition. The study of Claus Jurman on Old Kingdom tombs shows that their integrated compilation of texts, images, statuary, and architecture results in non-linear but complex multimodal narratives. Gerald Moers, in his analysis of exemplary genre-scenes from Ramesside ostraca, shows that even some so-called monochronic images that depict precisely one moment in time and have thus traditionally been said to be a-temporal and non-narrative by definition, often have a clearly structured temporal program and can thus be considered autonomous narratives.

    Reading Russia. A History of Reading in Modern Russia. Vol. 2 (2021)
    Ledizioni
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Scholars of Russian culture have always paid close attention to texts and their authors, but they have often forgotten about the readers. These volumes illuminate encounters between the Russians and their favorite texts, a centuries-long and continent-spanning “love story” that shaped the way people think, feel, and communicate. The fruit of thirty-one specialists’ research, Reading Russia represents the first attempt to systematically depict the evolution of reading in Russia from the eighteenth century to the present day. The second volume of Reading Russia considers the evolution of reading during the long nineteenth century (1800-1917), particularly in relation to the emergence of new narrative and current affairs publications: novels, on the one hand, and daily newspapers, weekly magazines and thick journals, on the other. The volume examines how economic and social transformations, technological progress and the development of the publishing industry taking place in Russia gradually led to a significant expansion of the reading public. At the same time, in part due to the influence of new literature reading policies in schools, there was a greater cultural standardisation of Russian society, which was partially opposed by new forms of poetic reading. Contributors to volume 2: Daria Khitrova, Damiano Rebecchini, Abram Reitblat, Jonathan Stone, Roman Timenchik, Alexey Vdovin, Roman Leibov, Susan Smith-Peter, Katherine Bowers, Tat’iana Golovina, Marcus C. Levitt, Raffaella Vassena.

    Description: Although it resonates today with lavender fields, sunny heritage locations and the gentrified memory of Paul Cézanne’s pictorial turbulence, Provence has not always been the attractive territory of pacified leisure and festival culture. Since the seventeenth century, indeed, the region has inscribed its shifting geography, complex politics and the extraordinary diversity of its land and seascapes in the perception and imagination of British visitors.

    O coronel e o lobisomem nas veredas da literatura regionalista brasileira (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora UNESP
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Este trabalho apresenta uma leitura do romance O coronel e o lobisomem, publicado em 1964, pelo escritor brasileiro José Cândido de Carvalho. Ao problematizar o conceito de regionalismo literário, busca-se averiguar em que medida é possível aproximar essa obra da chamada tendência super-regionalista, a fim de determinar o lugar que ocupa tanto na produção do autor, quanto no conjunto da literatura regionalista brasileira. O estudo da categoria crítica do super-regionalismo convoca a compreensão de outros conceitos, como o de transculturação narrativa, que também serão dimensionados no sentido de contribuir para uma leitura da narrativa regionalista em sua dimensão insólita. A partir disso, propõe-se um delineamento dos procedimentos formais e dos eixos temáticos mobilizados pelo autor na composição de seu romance, de modo a contribuir para a revisão de sua fortuna crítica, bem como ampliar a compreensão dos paradigmas que orientam tal momento, ainda pouco estudado de maneira sistemática, do regionalismo literário brasileiro.

    Description: 〈p〉Russian Formalism, one of the twentieth century's most important movements in literary criticism, has received far less attention than most of its rivals. Examining Formalism in light of more recent developments in literary theory, Peter Steiner here offers the most comprehensive critique of Formalism to date. Steiner studies the work of the Formalists in terms of the major tropes that characterized their thought. He first considers those theorists who viewed a literary work as a mechanism, an organism, or a system. He then turns to those who sought to reduce literature to its most basic element.〈p〉

    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Rastro, hesitação e memória pretende investigar as relações entre poesia e tempo. Há nos poemas de Anti-Platon e Du Mouvement et de l’immobilité de Douve, tanto quanto nos ensaios de L’Improbable, a condenação de um inteligível abstrato em virtude do esquecimento do tempo. A poesia repercutiria uma tensão entre interioridade conceitual e exterioridade. As palavras do poema evocariam um apagamento: rastro, presença ausente. A perda se tornaria a origem da linguagem poética.

    The Medium Is the Monster: Canadian Adaptations of Frankenstein and the Discourse of Technology (2021)
    Athabasca University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Technology, a word that emerged historically first to denote the study of any art or technique, has come, in modernity, to describe advanced machines, industrial systems, and media. McCutcheon argues that it is Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel 〈EM〉Frankenstein〈/EM〉 that effectively reinvented the meaning of the word for modern English. It was then Marshall McLuhan’s media theory and its adaptations in Canadian popular culture that popularized, even globalized, a Frankensteinian sense of technology. 〈EM〉The Medium Is the Monster〈/EM〉 shows how we cannot talk about technology—that human-made monstrosity—today without conjuring Frankenstein, thanks in large part to its Canadian adaptations by pop culture icons such as David Cronenberg, William Gibson, Margaret Atwood, and Deadmau5. In the unexpected connections illustrated by 〈em〉The Medium Is the Monster〈/em〉, McCutcheon brings a fresh approach to studying adaptations, popular culture, and technology.

    Approaches to World Literature (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: The present volume introduces new considerations on the topic of World Literature, penned by leading representatives of the discipline from the United States, India, Japan, the Middle East, England, France and Germany. The essays revolve around the question of what, specifically in today's rapidly globalizing world, may be the productive implications of the concept of World Literature, which was first developed in the 18th century and then elaborated on by Goethe. The discussions include problems such as different script systems with varying literary functions, as well as questions addressing the relationship between ethnic self-description and cultural belonging. The contributions result from a conference that took place at the Dahlem Humanities Center, Freie Universität Berlin, in 2012.

    Situating Sustainability (2021)
    Helsinki University Press | Helsinki University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Situating Sustainability reframes our understanding of sustainability through an emerging international terrain of concepts and case studies. These approaches include material practices, such as extraction and disaster recovery, and extend into the domains of human rights and education. This volume addresses the need in sustainability science to recognize the deep and diverse cultural histories that define environmental politics. It brings together scholars from cultural studies, anthropology, literature, law, behavioral science, urban studies, design, and development to argue that it is no longer possible to talk about sustainability in general without thinking through the contexts of research and action. These contributors are joined by artists whose public-facing work provides a mobile platform to conduct research at the edges of performance, knowledge production, and socio-ecological infrastructures. Situating Sustainability calls for a truly transdisciplinary research that is guided by the humanities and social sciences in collaboration with local actors informed by histories of place. Designed for students, scholars, and interested readers, the volume introduces the conceptual practices that inform the leading edge of engaged research in sustainability.

Eles mostram o distanciamento que algumas pessoas ainda têm a respeito do homoerotismo, por isso buscam desconstruir os estereótipos de gênero através da literatura, mostrando ao leitor que as expressões homoculturais vão além de um padrão pré-estabelecido pela sociedade e suas respectivas culturas.

    The Poetry and Prose of Wang Wie. Volume 1 (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Wang Wei has traditionally been considered one of the greatest of Tang dynasty poets, together with Li Bo and Du Fu. This is the first complete translation into English of all of his poems, and also the first substantial translation of a selection of his prose writings. For the first time, readers encountering his work in English translation will get a comprehensive understanding of Wang Wei‘s range as a poet and prose writer. In spite of the importance of Wang Wei's poetry in the history of Chinese literature, no one has attempted a complete translation of all of his surviving poems moreover, even though he was known for his skill in composing prose pieces in the recognized genres of his day (especially as a writer of commissioned compositions), very little of his prose has been translated. This translation will enable students with limited or no knowledge of Chinese to get a full sense of Wang Wei's compositional range. Moreover, since Wang Wei was known for being a devout Buddhist, having the complete poetry available in reliable translation as well as all of the prose that is connected to the Buddhist faith will be useful to students of Chinese religion.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-02-19
    Description: What are the pleasures of reading translations of South Asian literature, and what does it take to enjoy a translated text? This volume provides opportunities to explore such questions by bringing together a whole set of new translations by David Shulman, noted scholar of South Asia. The translated selections come from a variety of Indian languages, genres, and periods, from the classical to the contemporary. The translations are accompanied by short essays written to help readers engage and enjoy them. Some of these essays provide background to enhance reading of the translation, whereas others model how to expand appreciation in comparative and broader ways. Together, the translations and the accompanying essays form an essential guide for people interested in literature and art from South Asia. “The scholarly interpretations and commentary in this volume represent some of the most prominent voices in the philological and historical study of South Asia—a galaxy of experts in literary analysis and other subfields of South Asian cultural history. This volume beautifully illuminates the generative possibilities of the intimate, context-sensitive mode of reading that David Shulman has engaged in for decades.” DAVESH SONEJI, Department of South Asia Studies, University of Pennsylvania

    Vertical Readings in Dante's Comedy. Volume 2 (2021)
    Open Book Publishers
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Vertical Readings in Dante's 'Comedy' is a reappraisal of the poem by an international team of thirty-four scholars. Each vertical reading analyses three same-numbered cantos from the three canticles: Inferno i, Purgatorio i and Paradiso i; Inferno ii, Purgatorio ii and Paradiso ii; etc. Although scholars have suggested before that there are correspondences between same-numbered cantos that beg to be explored, this is the first time that the approach has been pursued in a systematic fashion across the poem. This three-volume collection offers an unprecedented repertoire of vertical readings for the whole poem. Vertical reading not only articulates unexamined connections between the three canticles but also unlocks engaging new ways to enter into core concerns of the poem. The three volumes thereby provide an indispensable resource for scholars, students and enthusiasts of Dante.

    História e ficção em Paul Ricoeur e Tucídides (2021)
    Coimbra University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Este trabalho, marcado por um grande entusiasmo científico e uma investigação muito séria e rigorosa, sobre a novidade do conceito de narrativa histórica de Paul Ricoeur, tem como eixo central a relação entre narrativa histórica e verdade de facto nas conceções históricas de Tucídides e Ricoeur. A grande questão que alimenta todo este trabalho científico é a seguinte: sendo a poética histórica uma mimese da ação humana, será que ela se reduz, contra as teses do positivismo histórico, a mero artefacto literário? Qual o verdadeiro contributo de Paul Ricoeur para uma mediação entre as duas teses mais célebres sobre o discurso histórico: ciência ideográfica ou nomotética? Se a grande tese de Ricoeur é a de que a história é um discurso que visa sempre, através de um método científico e crítico, a verdade dos factos, embora não possa dispensar a imaginação, como compreender a relação entre história e ficção em Tucídides? São as categorias da mimese I, II e III de Ricoeur que Martinho soares aplica a Tucídides, no sentido de com elas apreender, testar e compreender a dimensão da prefiguração – valorizando a história e a memória, o semeion e o tekmerion –; a da configuração narrativa, que implica uma reflexão sobre ação e tempo humano, condensado na narrativa – o que torna pertinente a aproximação Tucídides/Aristóteles –; e, finalmente, a da refiguração, pela qual ao leitor é feito ver o passado como um “tua res agitur”, quiçá, de dimensões trágicas.

    Realismo e violência na literatura contemporânea: os contos de Famílias terrivelmente felizes, de Marçal Aquino (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora UNESP
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Este livro, fruto da dissertação de mestrado do autor, busca compreender a ficção brasileira contemporânea considerando a história político-social da nação, no período que vai do fim da ditadura militar à sua redemocratização. Assim, Fábio Mendes propõe uma análise crítica dos contos de Famílias terrivelmente felizes, escritos por Marçal Aquino, identificando uma linguagem da violência que perpassa a articulação de temas e motivos, a constituição dos narradores, a caracterização das personagens e a materialidade dos textos. Quanto ao conteúdo, essa violência estaria ajustada às imagens da morte, seja de modo predominante ou incidental, física, psicológica, social e simbólica, traços de uma sociedade brasileira autoritária e matéria-prima da linha de produção do novo realismo. Nestes termos, a ironia aparece como o principal elemento constitutivo das narrativas de Aquino, articulando a violência de modo que o leitor seja atraído para o mundo do texto literário e incorpore sua mensagem, consciente ou inconscientemente, em seu modo de vida.

    Reading Russia. A history of reading in modern Russia. Volume 3 (2021)
    Ledizioni
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Scholars of Russian culture have always paid close attention to texts and their authors, but they have often forgotten about the readers. These volumes illuminate encounters between the Russians and their favorite texts, a centuries-long and continent-spanning “love story” that shaped the way people think, feel, and communicate. The fruit of thirty-one specialists’ research, Reading Russia represents the first attempt to systematically depict the evolution of reading in Russia from the eighteenth century to the present day. The third volume of Reading Russia considers more recent (and rapid) changes to reading, and focuses on two profoundly transformative moments: the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, and the digital revolution of the 1990s. This volume investigates how the political transformations of the early twentieth century and the technological ones from the turn of the twenty-first impacted the tastes, habits, and reading practices of the Russian public. It closely observes how Russian readers adapted to and/or resisted their eras’ paradigm-shifting crises in communication and interpretation.

    Geografias do drama humano: leituras do espaço em São Bernardo, de Graciliano Ramos, e Pedro Páramo, de Juan Rulfo (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora UNESP
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Este livro analisa o processo de construção do espaço que permeia os romances São Bernardo (1934), do escritor brasileiro Graciliano Ramos (1892-1953), e Pedro Páramo (1955), escrito pelo mexicano Juan Rulfo (1918-1986), explicitando as analogias e os contrastes entre as duas obras, a partir da percepção de que ambas projetam, no processo de construção do espaço, lugares que revelam conflitos sociais, psicológicos e existenciais do homem em confronto com sua origem e seu destino. Com esse pressuposto, o livro investiga a relação íntima e direta do espaço com as personagens, as conseqüências da particularização do espaço pela violência, as paisagens que refletem a solidão, a incomunicabilidade e o desamor presentes no universo poético de ambos os romances desses dois grandes expoentes da literatura latino-americana. O livro demonstra que ambas as obras retratam a complexidade das sociedades da América Latina, simbolizadas num espaço rural emblemático que expressa, em perspectiva poética e sem caráter documental, diversas facetas da realidade.

    1984: a distopia do indivíduo sob controle (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora UEPG
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Ao longo dos séculos, a ânsia por reestruturar os núcleos sociais tangenciou, muitas vezes, os limites do sonho e do pesadelo. A literatura, ao mesmo tempo testemunha e agente dessas inspirações, figurou espaços utópicos que, de forma ambígua, se revelavam transformadores e normalizadores. Dentre essas produções, destaca-se o romance anitutópico ou distópico 1984, de George Orwell, que desnuda os perigos que cercam o idealismo homogeneizador das utopias políticas. Tendo o universo ficcional do "Big Brother" como objeto de análise, a obra discute a recorrência histórica do utopismo no pensamento humano em geral e na literatura orwelliana em particular. Por meio dessa discussão, busca-se lançar luz sobre os eventos e os processos socioculturais que fomentaram o "medo da utopia" na modernidade tardia.

    Yeats's Mask : Yeats Annual No. 19 (2021)
    Open Book Publishers
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Yeats’s Mask, Yeats Annual No. 19 is a special issue in this renowned research-level series. Fashionable in the age of Wilde, the Mask changes shape until it emerges as Mask in the system of A Vision. Chronologically tracing the concept through Yeats’s plays and those poems written as ‘texts for exposition’ of his occult thought which flowers in A Vision itself (1925 and 1937), the volume also spotlights ‘The Mask before The Mask’ numerous plays including Cathleen Ni-Houlihan, The King’s Threshold, Calvary,The Words upon the Window-pane, A Full Moon in March and The Death of Cuchulain. There are excurses into studies of Yeats’s friendship with the Oxford don and cleric, William Force Stead, his radio broadcasts, the Chinese contexts for his writing of ‘Lapis Lazuli’. His self-renewal after The Oxford Book of Modern Verse, and the key occult epistolary exchange ‘Leo Africanus’, edited from MSS by Steve L. Adams and George Mills Harper, is republished from the elusive Yeats Annual No. 1 (1982). The essays are by David Bradshaw, Michael Cade-Stewart, Aisling Carlin, Warwick Gould, Margaret Mills Harper, Pierre Longuenesse, Jerusha McCormack, Neil Mann, Emilie Morin, Elizabeth Müller and Alexandra Poulain, with shorter notes by Philip Bishop and Colin Smythe considering Yeats’s quatrain upon remaking himself and the pirate editions of The Land of Heart’s Desire. Ten reviews focus on various volumes of the Cornell Yeats MSS Series, his correspondence with George Yeats, and numerous critical studies.

    Description: Adília Lopes (1960) apresenta-se nos seus versos como uma 〈em〉freira poetisa barroca portuguesa〈/em〉. O percurso meteórico da sua obra na literatura portuguesa poderia ser um 〈em〉case study 〈/em〉de como uma poesia marginal alcança o coração do cânone literário ou sobre como deixar “prognósticos só para o final do jogo.” Autora de uma poesia inteligente e provocadora, Adília Lopes passou das primeiras edições de autor, obras de culto de uma minoria, a ser lida nas salas de aula de Literatura Portuguesa um pouco por todo o mundo. Este percurso tem o seu clímax na publicação de 〈em〉Dobra〈/em〉, a poesia reunida em obra completa pela Assírio & Alvim, em 2009. Encontramos ecos da sua obra em vários campos da nossa contemporaneidade, sejam estes os da arte, com as gravuras que Paula Rego lhe dedica, ou o da música, em letras de bandas como 〈em〉A Naifa〈/em〉.

    Collège de France
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Papyrology, which burgeoned in the nineteenth century after the discovery of thousands of papyri in Egypt, consists in the study of Greek and Latin texts written on a transportable medium (papyrus, clay potsherds, wooden tablets or parchment). While inscriptions and literary sources can render a normative, idealized and sometimes deformed image of individuals, papyri – no matter how fragmented they may be – take us into their daily lives, thus making possible the archaeology of cultural practices. Attempting to decipher “these shreds, guardians of the human memory” – to paraphrase Leonardo de Vinci – is the challenge of the papyrologist, who ceaselessly renews our knowledge of the past.

    War and Literature: Commiserating with the Enemy (2021)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: This Special Issue focuses specifically on the topic of commiseration with the “enemy” within war literature. The articles included in this Special Issue show authors and/or literary characters attempting to understand the motives, beliefs, and cultural values of those who have been defined by their nations as their enemies. This process of attempting to understand the orientation of defined “enemies” often shows that the soldier has begun a process of reflection about why he or she is part of the war experience. The texts included in this issue also show how political authorities often resort to propaganda and myth-making tactics that are meant to convince soldiers that they are fighting opponents who are evil, sub-human, etc., and are therefore their direct enemies. Literary texts that show an author and/or literary character trying to reflect against state-supported definitions of good/evil, right/wrong, and ally/enemy often present an opportunity to reevaluate the purposes of war and one’s moral responsibility during wartime.

    Leaving Iran: Between Migration and Exile (2021)
    Athabasca University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: In 1975, at the age of twenty-three, Farideh Goldin left Iran in search of her imagined America. She sought an escape from the suffocation she felt under the cultural rules of her country and the future her family had envisioned for her. While she settled uneasily into American life, the political unrest in Iran intensified and in February of 1979, Farideh’s family was forced to flee Iran on the last El-Al flights to Tel Aviv. They arrived in Israel as refugees, having left everything behind including the only home Farideh’s father had ever known. Baba, as Farideh called her father, was a well-respected son of the chief rabbi and dayan of the Jews of Shiraz. During his last visit to the United States in 2006, he handed Farideh his memoir that chronicled the years of his life after exile: the confiscation of his passport while he attempted to return to Iran for his belongings, the resulting years of loneliness as he struggled against a hostile bureaucracy to return to his wife and family in Israel, and the eventual loss of the poultry farm that had supported his family. Farideh translated her father’s memoir along with other documents she found in a briefcase after his death. Leaving Iran knits together her father’s story of dislocation and loss with her own experience as an Iranian Jew in a newly adopted home. As an intimate portrait of displacement and the construction of identity, as a story of family loyalty and cultural memory, Leaving Iran is an important addition to a growing body of Iranian–American narratives.

    Literature and Politics in the Later Foucault (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: This study proposes a revised interpretation of Foucault’s views on literature. It has been argued that the philosopher’s interest in literature was limited to the 1960s and of a mostly depoliticized nature. However, Foucault’s previously unpublished later works suggest a different reality, showing a sustained interest in literature and its politics. In the light of this new material, the book repositions Foucault's ideas within recent debates on the politics of literature.

    Text Genetics in Literary Modernism and other Essays (2021)
    Open Book Publishers
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: This collection of essays from world-renowned scholar Hans Walter Gabler contains writings from a decade and a half of retirement spent exploring textual criticism, genetic criticism, and literary criticism. In these sixteen stimulating contributions, he develops theories of textual criticism and editing that are inflected by our advance into the digital era; structurally analyses arts of composition in literature and music; and traces the cultural implications discernible in book design, and in the canonisation of works of literature and their authors. Distinctive and ambitious, these essays move beyond the concerns of the community of critics and scholars. Gabler responds innovatively to the issues involved and often endeavours to re-think their urgencies by bringing together the orthodox tenets of different schools of textual criticism. He moves between a variety of topics, ranging from fresh genetic approaches to the work of James Joyce and Virginia Woolf, to significant contributions to the theorisation of scholarly editing in the digital age. Written in Gabler’s fluent style, these rich and elegant compositions are essential reading for literary and textual critics, scholarly editors, readers of James Joyce, New Modernism specialists, and all those interested in textual scholarship and digital editing under the umbrella of Digital Humanities.

    Culture-bearing Women. The Black Women Renaissance and Cultural Nationalism (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: This study examines the Black Women’s Renaissance (BWR) – the flowering of literary talent among African American women at the end of the 20th century. It focuses on the historical and heritage novels of the 1980s and the vexed relationship between black cultural nationalism and black feminism. It argues that when the nation seemingly fell out of fashion, black women writers sought to re-create what Renan called “a soul, a spiritual principle” for their ethnic group. BWR narratives, especially those associated with womanism, appreciated “culture bearing” mothers as cultural reproducers of the nation and transmitters of its values. In this way, the writers of the BWR gave rise to “matrifocal” cultural nationalism that superseded masculine cultural nationalism of the previous decade and made black women, instead of black men, principal agents/carriers of national identity. This monograph argues that even though matrifocal nationalism empowered women, ultimately it was a flawed project. It promoted gender and cultural essentialism, i.e. it glorified black motherhood and mother-daughter bonding and condemned other, more radical models of black female subjectivity. Moreover, the BWR, vivified by middle-class and educated black women, turned readers’ attention from more contentious social issues, such as class mobility or wealth redistribution. The monograph compares the cultural nationalist novels of the 1980s with social protest novels written by the same authors in the 1970s and explains the rationale behind the change in their aesthetic and political agenda. It also contrasts novels written by womanist writers (Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Gloria Naylor to name just a few) and by African Caribbean immigrant or second-generation writers (Audre Lorde, Paule Marshall, Jamaica Kincaid and Michelle Cliff) to show that, on the score of cultural nationalism, the BWR was not a monolithic phenomenon. African American and African Caribbean women writers collectively contribu

    Description: Lira dissonante analisa as características e funções do grotesco na poesia lírica de Bernardo Guimarães e Cruz e Sousa. O grotesco se manifesta na obra de ambos sob forma de imagens estranhas e inesperadas que sugerem um universo lírico extravagante e rebelde, muitas vezes, oposto às convenções estéticas tradicionais, particularmente, românticas. Trata-se de uma contribuição original aos estudos sobre os dois poetas, na medida em que desvenda as rupturas estéticas, típicas da lírica moderna, empreendidas por eles em seu momento histórico-literário.

    Description: Este livro perfaz dois movimentos, duas estratégias de leitura: a da intermidialidade e a da literatura de multidão. A fronteira entre elas é tênue e provisória. O que as separa é um filtro que tanto deixa passar quanto retém. É um livro de crítica, um exercício de experimentação crítica que propõe um olhar transversal sobre as obras, com a finalidade de compreendê-las por aquilo que nelas remete para as formas de vida, para os espaços de produção simbólica e de sua logística de circulação e consumo.

Assim como os ficcionistas que elegem o interstício entre a ficção e a história como campo privilegiado não se mostram preocupados em marcar as fronteiras entre as áreas, também os estudiosos que se dedicam à modalidade romanesca daí resultante buscam tirar partido da pluralidade dos métodos históricos e da abrangência da ficção contemporânea.

    Tabulae scriptae: a metalinguagem e as trajetórias de Henri Pousseur e Willy Corrêa de Oliveira (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora UNESP
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Maurício Funcia de Bonis faz aqui uma reflexão sobre a música erudita na atualidade, em que o gênero parece ter silenciado, restando de sonoro somente a “relação com os criadores do passado”. Ele toma como contrapartida a esse cenário a atuação ao mesmo tempo crítica e criativa de dois compositores contemporâneos: o belga Henri Pousseur (1929-2009) e o brasileiro Willy Corrêa de Oliveira (1938). A expressão latina aplicada ao título do livro tabulae scriptae (tábuas escritas), explica o autor, remete à ênfase sobre a metalinguagem como profissão de fé na obra e no pensamento de ambos os artistas, que recusam a tendência à tabula rasa (tábuas vazias), “à eliminação de uma relação consciente com a história, na música de seu tempo”. A obra divide-se em três partes. O primeiro capítulo situa o terrenodo qual partiram as reflexões e os trabalhos daqueles compositores, fundamentando suas bases teóricas. Os capítulos seguintes retratam suas trajetórias artísticas. Compõem o livro ainda uma entrevista feita pelo autor em 2012 com Willy Corrêa, além de relações de obras de Pousseur e Willy, organizadas pelos próprios compositores. Contribuição para pesquisas futuras, esses anexos complementam a exposição do autor ao situarem as transformações ocorridas nos percursos criativos dos artistas ao longo do tempo.

    Piety in Pieces : How Medieval Readers Customized their Manuscripts (2021)
    Open Book Publishers
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Medieval manuscripts resisted obsolescence. Made by highly specialised craftspeople (scribes, illuminators, book binders) with labour-intensive processes using exclusive and sometimes exotic materials (parchment made from dozens or hundreds of skins, inks and paints made from prized minerals, animals and plants), books were expensive and built to last. They usually outlived their owners. Rather than discard them when they were superseded, book owners found ways to update, amend and upcycle books or book parts. These activities accelerated in the fifteenth century. Most manuscripts made before 1390 were bespoke and made for a particular client, but those made after 1390 (especially books of hours) were increasingly made for an open market, in which the producer was not in direct contact with the buyer. Increased efficiency led to more generic products, which owners were motivated to personalise. It also led to more blank parchment in the book, for example, the backs of inserted miniatures and the blanks ends of textual components. Book buyers of the late fourteenth and throughout the fifteenth century still held onto the old connotations of manuscripts-that they were custom-made luxury items-even when the production had become impersonal. Owners consequently purchased books made for an open market and then personalised them, filling in the blank spaces, and even adding more components later. This would give them an affordable product, but one that still smacked of luxury and met their individual needs. They kept older books in circulation by amending them, attached items to generic books to make them more relevant and valuable, and added new prayers with escalating indulgences as the culture of salvation shifted. Rudy considers ways in which book owners adjusted the contents of their books from the simplest (add a marginal note, sew in a curtain) to the most complex (take the book apart, embellish the components with painted decoration, add more quires of parchment). By making sometimes extreme adjustments, book owners kept their books fashionable and emotionally relevant. This study explores the intersection of codicology and human desire. Rudy shows how increased modularisation of book making led to more standardisation but also to more opportunities for personalisation. She asks: What properties did parchment manuscripts have that printed books lacked? What are the interrelationships among technology, efficiency, skill loss and standardisation?

    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Bourdieu and Literature is a wide-ranging, rigorous and accessible introduction to the relationship between Pierre Bourdieu's work and literary studies. It provides a comprehensive overview and critical assessment of his contributions to literary theory and his thinking about authors and literary works. One of the foremost French intellectuals of the post-war era, Bourdieu has become a standard point of reference in the fields of anthropology, linguistics, art history, cultural studies, politics, and sociology, but his longstanding interest in literature has often been overlooked. This study explores the impact of literature on Bourdieu's intellectual itinerary, and how his literary understanding intersected with his sociological theory and thinking about cultural policy. This is the first full-length study of Bourdieu's work on literature in English, and it provides an invaluable resource for students and scholars of literary studies, cultural theory and sociology.

    O escorpião e o jaguar: o memorialismo prospectivo d’O Ateneu, de Raul Pompeia (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora UNESP
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: O presente livro tem por objeto de estudo o romance O Ateneu, de Raul Pompéia, publicado em 1888 em folhetim pela Gazeta de Notícias e, meses mais tarde, em volume, pela tipografia do mesmo jornal. Estuda-seaquio processo narrativo da obra a partir de uma discussão inicial de sua recepção crítica, em que se observam três tendências interpretativas distintas: uma primeira de viés biográfico, bastante comum até a década de 1940; uma segunda, de viés social, iniciada logo após a anterior, e continuada ainda hoje; e uma última, de viés revisionista, mais atual, pautada na análise de aspectos até então considerados acessórios pela crítica. Dentre estes aspectos, está o tratamento cada vez mais aprofundado da narração autodiegética e do memorialismo latente já no subtítulo do romance – “Crônica de saudades”. Para tanto, discute-se a seguir a natureza teórica da narrativa de memórias, levantando-se diversos textos de teoria da narrativa como embasamento teórico da exposição. Propõe-se, assim, o uso de uma terminologia que busca categorizar em três grandes grupos as narrativas de memórias, de acordo com sua orientação mais voltada para o passado da ação – “narrativa retrospectiva” –, para o presente da narração – “narrativa presentificativa” – ou para o processo de leitura e recepção das memórias – “narrativa prospectiva”. A análise posterior de diversos elementos da narração d’O Ateneu chega à conclusão de que o romance de Pompéia representa um exemplo acabado de “narrativa prospectiva”, em que o narrador manipula a infância vivida no internato para fazer-se de vítima do sistema, e, assim, reverter a lógica de opressão a que fora submetidono Ateneu.

    Da estátua à pedra: percursos figurativos de José Saramago (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: O propósito deste ensaio é desenvolver uma leitura comparativa, por aproximação e contraste, de quatro romances de José Saramago. Recorte no amplo universo do romancista português, o trabalho levanta questões que possibilitam um ordenamento das leituras sobre sua obra a partir de um exame detido de um romance de sua fase mais nacional: A jangada de Pedra, em contraposição à trilogia constituída por Ensaio sobre a cegueira, Todos os nomes e A caverna. A obra busca explicitar espelhamentos e refrações entre A Jangada de Pedra e Ensaio sobre a cegueira, bem como as muitas ressonâncias entre Ensaio sobre a cegueira, Todos os nomes e A caverna, e assim delinear um horizonte de convergências estruturais e/ou temáticas perceptível no confronto das obras. Tal estratégia possibilita à autora depreender e apontar a marca narrativa que articula a variedade ficcional de cada romance, os quais agrega sob uma rubrica comum, mostrando que temas, figuras, mitos, símbolos, procedimentos narrativos e outros recursos que deles emergem configuram Saramago como romancista que “sendo a cada vez outro, é sempre o mesmo”.

    Dialogue for Intercultural Understanding (2021)
    Springer Nature | Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: This open access book is a result of an extensive, ambitious and wide-ranging pan-European project focusing on the development of children and young people’s cultural literacy and what it means to be European in the 21st century prioritising intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding. The Horizon 2020 funded, 3-year DIalogue and Argumentation for cultural Literacy Learning (DIALLS) project included ten partners from countries in and around Europe with the aim to centralise co-constructive dialogue as a main cultural literacy value and to promote tolerance, empathy and inclusion. This is achieved through teaching children in schools from a young age to engage together in discussions where they may have differing viewpoints or perspectives, to enable a growing awareness of their own cultural identities, and those of others. Central to the project is children’s engagement with wordless picture books and films, which are used as stimuli for discussions around core cultural themes such as social responsibility, living together and sustainable development. In order to enable intercultural dialogue in action, the project developed an online platform as a tool for engagement across classes, and which this book elaborates on.

    Monteiro Lobato nas páginas do jornal: um estudo dos artigos publicados em O Estado de S. Paulo (1913-1923) (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora UNESP
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: A fase compreendida pelos historiadores como fase de consolidação ou profissionalização da imprensa, início da República até a década de 30, corresponde a um período relevante da atuação do escritor Monteiro Lobato (1882-1948) como jornalista. O intuito de se abordar os artigos publicados no jornal O Estado de S. Paulo, periódico fundado em 1875 como baluarte das questões ideológicas republicanas, permite situar o início da produção de Lobato em 1913. O limite de 1930 justifica-se pelo momento histórico, ou seja, a transição de um país rural para um estado em franca urbanização com o advento da era Vargas. Como veículo fugaz, o jornal apresenta-se como oportunidade para se rever uma faceta menos "literária" do escritor. A observação do conjunto de textos produzidos como artigos para O Estado entre os anos de 1913 e 1923 revela um escritor em fina sintonia com o veículo do qual participava e ajudava a construir, fosse na esfera dos ideais, fosse no círculo das atividades exercidas dentro do jornal. Lobato é, com efeito, um jornalista participando ativamente dos ideais políticos e sociais de um grupo cuja influência extrapolava a tão autoproclamada neutralidade do jornal. Havia um projeto de país em boa parte comum a escritor e jornal, ou melhor, entre o publicista atento e o periódico bem sucedido. "Uma velha praga", "Urupês" ou o quase não lembrado "Entre duas crises" são textos que, postos lado a lado e lidos na seqüência e freqüência que surgem em O Estado, compõem um mosaico esclarecedor da visão projetada por Lobato e por um grupo de intelectuais cuja ação pública, política, identifica-os como "grupo do Estado".

    Os Académicos Eborenses na Primeira Metade de Seiscentos : A Poética e a Autonomização do Literário (2021)
    Publicações do Cidehus
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Numa época em que se encetavam, em Portugal, os primeiros passos para a actividade de teorização e de crítica literárias, importa realçar o papel dos académicos eborenses de inícios de Seiscentos, protagonistas principais da polémica em torno da epopeia camoniana, dos cânones do género e das questões levantadas pela recepção da Poética aristotélica. Na vanguarda desse movimento, o destaque vai para Manuel Severim de Faria, promotor de urna vasta rede de sociabilidades e membro fundador das academias literárias eborenses, as primeiras em territόrio português. O discurso de erudição critica que esses comentadores produziram, para além dos inerentes aspectos sociológicos, permite-nos aferir das convenções poéticas que orientaram o ideário estético dos princípios do século XVII e entender como, ao tempo, se procuraram sistematizar as bases para a constituião de urna actividade de crítica literária vernacular, em diálogo com as suas congéneres europeias. Tal é a finalidade deste estudo que, situado no âmbito da Literatura Comparada, procura igualmente dar conta da génese e gradual emancipação do espaço literário português.

    Entre palavras e armas : literatura e guerra civil em Moçambique (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora UFABC
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: "Guerra de agressão", "guerra de desestabilização", "guerra civil", "guerra dos dezasseis anos": o conflito bélico que se alastrou por Moçambique entre 1976 e 1992 recebeu diversos nomes e abordagens. Nesta obra, a crítica literária é o princípio investigativo sobre o qual a linguagem estética e tal conflito podem ser analisados como experiências sociais distintas, mas intrinsecamente entrelaçadas. Por isso, este não é um trabalho de verificação de como existe um conteúdo histórico que é ficcionalizado em maior ou menor grau por uma literatura mais ou menos comprometida, mas antes objetiva, sim, perceber como certas estruturas estéticas apresentam composições específicas que, se analisadas literariamente, e posteriormente interpretadas historicamente, expõem visões críticas e manifestações sociais que se colocam em articulação com hegemonias que disputam o poder sobre uma sociedade. Assim sendo, como obras literárias que elegeram a guerra como tema podem contribuir para uma abordagem contemporânea do conflito que considere a compreensão e adesão das populações afetadas? Entre palavras e armas: literatura e guerra civil em Moçambique é totalmente baseado nesta primeira inquietação. Por isso se compõe como uma crítica comparada e histórica de dois romances que tratam da guerra pós-independência: Os sobreviventes da noite (2008), do escritor Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa, e Neighbours (1995), da escritora Lilia Momplé. O trabalho é dividido em dois movimentos: no primeiro, a crítica se desenvolve através da análise literária das configurações estéticas dos romances, de modo que seja possível delinear hipóteses comuns e diferenciais de leitura para ambos; o segundo movimento trata de tomar as hipóteses de leitura e buscar interpretá-las historicamente, com o apoio de um diálogo interdisciplinar entre os estudos literários e a historiografia, a sociologia, a antropologia, a economia e a ciência política de Moçambique.

    A World Proof Life: Eleanor Dark, a writer in her times, 1901-1985  (2021)
    UTS ePRESS
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Eleanor Dark (1901-1985) is one of Australia's most celebrated writers of the inter-war years. Born with the twentieth century - a Federation baby - she published ten novels, amongst them one of the best loved Australian stories of all time, The Timeless Land. Her life spanned successive global crises - two world wars, the economic depression of the 1930s, the Cold War - each issuing its own challenges to the artist and the people's writer she thought herself to be. By far the most privileged writer of her generation, her ultimate challenge was a personal one: to unlock the gates of her world-proof life to a society and a world in crisis. The first cross-cultural biography of this famous Australian writer, Marivic Wyndham's rich and controversial portrait of Eleanor Dark is based on extensive research of the author's public and private lives.

    Greek and Latin Expressions of Meaning : The Classical Origins of a Modern Metaphor (2021)
    C.H.Beck
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Verbs and nouns of meaning in ancient Greek and Latin are polysemous, just as in the case of the English verb “to mean". Andreas T. Zanker considers how the ancient vocabulary could be used in different ways and investigates its development over time. In the first part of the book, Zanker argues for the role of metaphorical and metonymical transference in the creation of expressions of meaning; Greek and Roman authors used the same verbs to describe what inanimate things, including words and texts, meant/signified as they did of human beings in the act of meaning/signifying something. In the second part of the book, the author focuses on certain metaphorical extensions of this vocabulary and argues that they have implications for modern discussions of meaning, particularly in literary criticism.

    Pessoas de livro: estudos sobre a personagem (2ª edição) (2021)
    Coimbra University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Encontram-se reunidos neste livro ensaios diretamente relacionados com o projeto de investigação “Figuras da Ficção” (Centro de Literatura Portuguesa da Faculdade de Letras de Coimbra), com extensão ao blogue homónimo (www.figurasdaficcao.wordpress.com). Centrando-se na personagem, nos seus modos de existência ficcional e paraficcional, nas suas figurações e nos seus avatares, os ensaios que aqui se encontram tratam de revalorizar uma categoria narrativa que durante décadas foi relegada para as margens dos estudos literários. Nos últimos vinte anos, os estudos narrativos, tendo colhido muitas das conquistas conceptuais e metodológicas da narratologia dos anos 80 do século passado, redescobriram na personagem um apreciável potencial de investimento semântico, de dinamismo transficcional e de articulação intercultural. É isso que está confirmado nos estudos em que aqui são tratados temas e subtemas como a figuração da personagem realista, a refiguração de personalidades históricas, a questão do insólito ou a representação paraficcional de figuras do chamado universo mediático.〈br /〉

    O poeta-espião: a antilírica de Sebastião Uchoa Leite (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora UNESP
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Paulo Andrade analisa nesta obra os procedimentos técnicos, temas e motivos construídos pelo poeta Sebastião Uchoa Leite para refletir sobre seu projeto poético e seu sujeito lírico. O estudo focaliza uma produção poética submetida a certa tensão, por desvios e aproximações, tanto com a tradição moderna quanto com as propostas modernistas, o que impossibilita demarcar limites para classificá-la. O grande mérito do autor é precisamente situar a obra de Uchoa nesse contexto específico. Andrade mostra que Uchoa não concebe o modernismo como força propulsora, mas como forma. O poeta não descarta as conquistas de 1922 e das décadas seguintes, no entanto, empenha-se em transgredi-las, contaminando-as com referências de toda ordem, seja da alta cultura, seja de elementos líricos retomados de tradições mais antigas, como a obra de François Villon, seja da cultura de massa ou de linguagens as mais diversas. Adepto do modernismo, Uchoa centra-se no contexto de seu tempo, e utiliza-se de uma linguagem concisa para expressar as preocupações em relação à cultura contemporânea. A análise de Andrade traz à tona um poeta que alia pensamento e poesia e, fortemente crítico à realidade, coloca-se em permanente desconfiança em relação ao mundo, ao outro e a si próprio. No percurso o estudo também aborda outros temas e procedimentos afins para articular a questão central, como o humor, a ironia, a autoironia e a difícil relação entre a retomada e a transgressão de certa tradição moderna, que faz de Uchoa um herdeiro singular de Paul Valéry, T. S. Eliot, João Cabral, Carlos Drummond, Manuel Bandeira e dos poetas concretistas.

    Processos de alcoolização Indígena no Brasil : perspectivas plurais (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora FIOCRUZ
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Quais são os critérios para identificar quando o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas se tornou problemático? Os critérios biomédicos que definem a dependência ao álcool como uma patologia se aplicam a todos os contextos culturais? O uso do álcool é uma questão de contornos complexos, em especial quando se consideram os povos indígenas, entre os quais problemas relacionados ao uso de álcool aparecem como importantes problemas de saúde pública, embora a produção acadêmica nacional sobre o assunto ainda seja relativamente escassa. Como o álcool adquire uma variedade de funções em diferentes grupos sociais, a análise não pode se restringir à ingestão da bebida em si: é preciso relacionar o consumo a processos socioculturais e político-econômicos. É o que defendem os autores desta coletânea, que descreve e analisa as características específicas dos diversos modos de uso de álcool em diferentes povos indígenas brasileiros. Os capítulos trazem relatos teóricos, etnográficos, historiográficos e de intervenções culturalmente orientadas. Buscam superar os enfoques limitados aos aspectos patológicos do consumo de álcool: demonstram que os efeitos da bebida – sejam negativos, sejam positivos – não podem ser dissociados de seus aspectos sociais, econômicos e psicológicos. Essa complexidade aponta para a necessária complementaridade entre as perspectivas da biomedicina e as das ciências sociais, além de ratificar a importância do protagonismo indígena no enfrentamento dos problemas relacionados ao uso de bebidas alcoólicas.

    Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood (2022)
    Leuven University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-01-04
    Description: Practices of community-building in a globalised context Urban neighbourhoods have come to occupy the public imagination as a litmus test of migration, with some areas hailed as multicultural success stories while others are framed as ghettos. In an attempt to break down this dichotomy, Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood filters these debates through the lenses of geography, anthropology, and literary and cultural studies. By establishing the interdisciplinary concept of the 'transnational neighbourhood', it presents these localities – whether Clichy-sous-Bois, Belfast, El Segundo Barrio or Williamsburg – as densely packed contact zones where disparate cultures meet in often highly asymmetrical relations, producing a constantly shifting local and cultural knowledge about identity, belonging, and familiarity. Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood offers a pivotal response to one of the key questions of our time: How do people create a sense of community within an exceedingly globalised context? By focusing on the neighbourhood as a central space of transcultural everyday experience within three different levels of discourse (i.e., the virtual, the physical local, and the transnational-global), the multidisciplinary contributions explore bottom-up practices of community-building alongside cultural, social, economic, and historical barriers.

    An Anglo-Norman Reader (2021)
    Open Book Publishers
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: This book is an anthology with a difference. It presents a distinctive variety of Anglo-Norman works, beginning in the twelfth century and ending in the nineteenth, covering a broad range of genres and writers, introduced in a lively and thought-provoking way. Facing-page translations, into accessible and engaging modern English, are provided throughout, bringing these texts to life for a contemporary audience. The collection offers a selection of fascinating passages, and whole texts, many of which are not anthologised or translated anywhere else. It explores little-known byways of Arthurian legend and stories of real-life crime and punishment; women’s voices tell history, write letters, berate pagans; advice is offered on how to win friends and influence people, how to cure people’s ailments and how to keep clear of the law; and stories from the Bible are retold with commentary, together with guidance on prayer and confession. Each text is introduced and elucidated with notes and full references, and the material is divided into three main sections: Story (a variety of narrative forms), Miscellany (including letters, law and medicine, and other non-fiction), and Religious (saints' lives, sermons, Bible commentary, and prayers). Passages in one genre have been chosen so as to reflect themes or stories that appear in another, so that the book can be enjoyed as a collection or used as a resource to dip into for selected texts. This anthology is essential reading for students and scholars of Anglo-Norman and medieval literature and culture. Wide-ranging and fully referenced, it can be used as a springboard for further study or relished in its own right by readers interested to discover Anglo-Norman literature that was written to amuse, instruct, entertain, or admonish medieval audiences.

    “Desta para a melhor”: a presença das viúvas machadianas no Jornal das Famílias (2021)
    SciELO Books - Editora UNESP
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: A vasta contribuição de Machado de Assis ao longo dos 16 anos de circulação do Jornal das Famílias aponta para um conjunto literário que dispõe de cerca de oitenta contos veiculados, na maioria das vezes, de forma seriada. Majoritariamente endereçadas a um público leitor feminino, tais narrativas exploram temas relacionados ao amor e ao casamento, em conformidade com a natureza conservadora do próprio Jornal. Este livro enfatiza o cenário das núpcias explorado pelo impresso de Garnier a fim de que se possa analisar o trabalho feito por Machado no que concerne à temática da viuvez e à possível tomada de “liberdade” assumida pela mulher dentro dos limites sociais impostos pelo matrimônio no século XIX. Com base no estudo das publicações do Jornal e com as noções teóricas da História Cultural, foi possível notar que, apesar do “conservadorismo” apregoado pelo impresso, a figura da viúva machadiana ocupa espaços de modulação entre o teor moralista do periódico e o deboche crítico indiciado em algumas matérias da revista.

    Description: Trata-se, neste livro, do conjunto da obra de Adolfo Caminha - um polígrafo na literatura brasileira do século XIX - durante o período de 1885 a 1897. O estudo abrange não somente os seus textos ficcionais, mas também os seus escritos críticos e jornalísticos. Considera-se, portanto, a atuação do escritor como político, editor, leitor e crítico literário. Salienta-se que a escrita de Caminha se caracteriza por dois movimentos: um horizontal, que estende a sua obra, e outro vertical, que produz uma estética do aproveitamento, constituída a partir dos diálogos existentes entre um e outro dos seus fazeres. A obra apresenta uma contribuição original aos estudos sobre a literatura brasileira.

    Searching for Sharing : Heritage and Multimedia in Africa (2021)
    Open Book Publishers
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: In a world where new technologies are being developed at a dizzying pace, how can we best approach oral genres that represent heritage? Taking an innovative and interdisciplinary approach, this volume explores the idea of sharing as a model to construct and disseminate the knowledge of literary heritage with the people who are represented by and in it. Expert contributors interweave sociological analysis with an appraisal of the transformative impact of technology on literary and cultural production. Does technology restrict, constraining the experience of an oral performance, or does it afford new openings for different aesthetic experiences? Topics explored include the Mara Cultural Heritage Digital Library, the preservation of Ewe heritage material, new eresources for texts in Manding languages, and the possibilities of technauriture. This timely and necessary collection also examines to what extent digital documents can be and have been institutionalised in archives and museums, how digital heritage can remain free from co-option by hegemonic groups, and the roles that exist for community voices. A valuable contributi on to a fast-developing field, this book is required reading for scholars and students in the fields of heritage, anthropology, linguistics, history and the emerging disciplines of multi-media documentation and analysis, as well as those working in the field of literature, folklore, and African studies. It is also important reading for museum and archive curators.

    Institut Français de Pondichéry
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: This book brings together for the first time in English all the major essays written by François Gros on Tamil literature. An impressive range of topics is covered here from studies of Caṅkam literature and devotional texts of the Tamil Bhakti traditions to contemporary Tamil novels and short stories. Many of the essays include an overview of French Indological work over past three centuries made available to the English speaking scholarly world for the first time here. While the author urges European and American scholars of Tamil history and culture to take the intellectual discourses of Tamil scholarship seriously, he insists at the same time that Tamil not be ghettoized but should rather be read alongside texts in other South Indian languages, with reference to the evidence of epigraphy, numismatics, archaeology and art history.

    Literature Against Criticism : University English and Contemporary Fiction in Conflict (2021)
    Open Book Publishers
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: This is a book about the power game currently being played out between two symbiotic cultural institutions: the university and the novel. As the number of hyper- knowledgeable literary fans grows, students and researchers in English departments waver between dismissing and harnessing voices outside the academy. Meanwhile, the role that the university plays in contemporary literary fiction is becoming increasingly complex and metafictional, moving far beyond the ‘campus novel' of the mid-twentieth century. Martin Paul Eve's engaging and far-reaching study explores the novel's contribution to the ongoing displacement of cultural authority away from university English. Spanning the works of Jennifer Egan, Ishmael Reed, Tom McCarthy, Sarah Waters, Percival Everett, Roberto Bolaño and many others, Literature Against Criticism forces us to re-think our previous notions about the relationship between those who write literary fiction and those who critique it. Professor Martin Paul Eve is Chair of Literature, Technology and Publishing at Birkbeck, University of London. He is also the author of Pynchon and Philosophy (2014), Open Access and the Humanities (2014), and Password (2016).

    Literary Transcendentalism (2021)
    Cornell University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: 〉p〈Broader in scope than any previous literary study of the transcendentalists, this rewarding book analyzes the theories and forms characteristic of a vital group of American writers, as well as the principles and vision underlying transcendentalism. All the movement's major literary figures and forms are considered in detail.〈p〉 〈p〉Lawrence Buell combines intellectual history and critical explication, giving equal attention to general trends and to particular works and individuals. His chapters on conversation, religious discourse, catalog rhetoric, and literary travelogue treat intensively topics that have been relatively neglected. His analyses of Ellery Channing's poetry and the use of persona in Emerson and Very are also innovative. In the final section, he offers the first systematic account of the autobiographical tradition in transcendentalist writing.〉p〈pThis incisive and sympathetic overview of transcendentalist writing and thought will attract readers interested in American culture, and it will suggest new critical approaches to nonfiction.〈p〉

    Diaspora, Law and Literature (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: The well-known challenges of international migration have triggered new departures in academic approaches, with 'diaspora studies' evolving as an interdisciplinary and even transdisciplinary field of study. Its emerging methodology shares concerns with another interdisciplinary field, the study of the relations between law and literature, which focuses on the ways in which the two cultural practices of law and literature mutually negotiate each other and on the question after the ontological commensurability of the domains. This volume offers, for the first time, an attempt to provide an interface between these overlapping interdisciplinary endeavours of literary studies, legal studies, and diaspora studies. In doing so, it explores new approaches and invites new perspectives on diasporas, migration and the disciplines that study them, hopefull also adding to the cultural resources of coping with a swiftly changing social landscape in a globalizing world.
