    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.

    Description: Se publican las actas de las “Jornadas Marcel Proust: Literatura y Filosofía” en cuyas ponencias los investigadores exploran las múltiples conexiones entre filosofía y literatura presentes en el obra de Marcel Proust. En efecto, puesto que En busca del tiempo perdido reconstruye diversas tradiciones literarias, filosóficas y artísticas a la vez que suscita lecturas heterogéneas y divergentes, lo trabajos de las jornadas profundizan algunas de esas relaciones o proponen nuevas posibilidades de lectura. En las ponencias se indaga, en última instancia, sobre cuestiones y concepciones filosóficas inmanentes a los desarrollos ficcionales y las relaciones entre demostración ficcional y demostración filosófica, desde los estudios de género al neopragmatismo, de Merleau Ponty a Benjamin o Sartre.

    Description: En la edición 2017 de las Jornadas sobre Marcel Proust, los trabajos pueden articularse en torno a tres diálogos que se plantean en su obra o a partir de ella: 1) diálogo hacia y desde otras obras y manifestaciones artísticas. Aquí la comunicación, en doble dirección hacia el arte del pasado y el arte del futuro, anticipa o recupera obras o aspectos de manifestaciones artísticas; 2) diálogo con la filosofía a partir de la presencia de problemas y concepciones filosóficas en la novela y en la diversidad de lecturas filosóficas de la novela; 3) diálogo con la naturaleza, presente como una suerte de sustrato de la trama, en una multiplicidad de hermenéuticas que van desde la visión poética y encantada de la infancia y las primeras ensoñaciones juveniles a la naturaleza como fuente de misterio y de lo indescifrable y, finalmente, ligada a la vejez, a la destrucción y a la muerte.

    Sensitive Reading (2022)
    University of California Press | University of California Press
    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

    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.

    Confesionario. Compendio del Libro de las confesiones de Martín Pérez : Edición y presentación (2021)
    e-Spania Books
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Este volumen de la colección Fuentes presenta la edición de un manual de confesión escrito en Castilla en la segunda mitad del siglo XV, actualmente conservado en los fondos de la biblioteca de la Real Academia de la Historia de Madrid. El códice, compuesto por varios textos o fragmentos de textos, redactados algunos de ellos en lengua vernácula y otros en latín, es un valioso testimonio de la difusión y de la circulación de este tipo de opúsculos destinados a los confesores obligados, a partir del Concilio de Letrán IV (1215), a administrar al menos una vez al año el sacramento de penitencia. Su originalidad radica en el examen de conciencia ad status que presenta en su parte central. El estudio del manuscrito permite demostrar que se trata, al menos en parte, de un compendio de la importante suma escrita por Martín Pérez en 1316, el Libro de las confesiones. La edición del códice está precedida por un minucioso análisis de su contenido y de los procedimientos de abreviación, y propone algunas hipótesis acerca de los motivos que pudieron suscitar su realización. Prefacio de Fernando Gómez Redondo, Universidad de Alcalá de Henares Publicado con la ayuda de AILP (GDRE 671, CNRS). Cubierta: Detalle de un capitel del claustro de Santa María la Real de Nieva (Segovia, siglo XV). Créditos: Foto L. Thieulin.

    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.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: En el Tractado del origen de los reyes de Granada -dirigido a Isabel la Católica y atribuido al historiógrafo de la reina, Fernando de Pulgar- el autor relata la historia del emirato de Granada desde sus orígenes hasta su caída ocurrida el 2 de enero de 1492. Sin embargo, la obra no fue escrita por Fernando de Pulgar a finales del siglo XV: se trata de una crónica promovida por la familia morisca granadina Granada Venegas entre los años 1575-1579 y 1602. El Tractado del origen de los reyes de Granada fue reproducido en nueve manuscritos -conservados en España, Portugal y Argentina- cuyo contenido no es uniforme. Así se distinguen tres versiones: mayoritaria, mayoritaria amplificada y minoritaria. Se propone a los lectores la edición crítica de la versión minoritaria, conocida gracias al manuscrito 150 de la Biblioteca de la Real Academia Española de Madrid.

    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.

    El entremés : Radiografía de un género (2021)
    Presses universitaires du Midi
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Es fenómeno bastante reciente el redescubrimiento por la crítica del teatro breve del Siglo de Oro. Y esto explica que, aunque contemos con valiosos avances parciales, falten todavía estudios globales que contemplen el género en su conjunto, con miras a caracterizar los rasgos formales en los que se apoya para activar su comicidad. De ahí la finalidad del presente ensayo que se centra sucesivamente en: - los espacios de la ficción (aldea, Corte, ventas y mesones...); - las estructuras (estructura interna, segmentación, papel de la versificación); - la configuración dramática de los personajes del elenco entremesil (tipos, figuras, onomástica...); - la configuración escénica de los mismos (caracterización fónica, gestual, mímica, física, vestuario); - el espacio escenográfico (lugar escenográfico y escénico, teatralización de la convención escénica). Más de un centenar de piezas breves sirven como base para el establecimiento e ilustración de esta primera gramática de un género áureo fundamental.

    Los malos saberes (2021)

    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: El presente volumen reúne las comunicaciones presentadas en el Coloquio internacional «Los malos saberes» que tuvo lugar en Tréveris en noviembre del 2013. Este coloquio se organizó en el marco del proyecto de investigación «El arte de pronosticar entre seriedad científica y ciencia oculta: la textualización de la fisiognomía en la literatura áurea española», financiado por la DFG y que, a su vez, forma parte de la red hispanoalemana Saberes humanísticos y formas de vida. En él se pasó revista a qué formas de vida, prácticas sociales y saberes vinculados con ellas entraron en conflicto con las normas morales, éticas y religiosas de la sociedad áurea; para ello se analizó en qué medida se problematizan y/o se censuran determinados conocimientos y mediante cuáles mecanismos de restricción y exclusión y se persiguió establecer qué función desempeña la literatura en estos procesos y cómo se lleva a cabo la textualización de los saberes marginados en distintos géneros literarios en los Siglos de Oro.

    Una controversia epistolar en torno a Góngora (2021)
    e-Spania Books
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Las cartas aquí reunidas se caracterizan por su unidad temática – discutir los méritos o insufribles vicios de la obra poética de Luis de Góngora – sino que forman un conjunto autónomo dentro de la dilatada querelle en torno a la obra de Góngora. Francisco Cascales lanzó la polémica en una carta humorística, con fórmulas memorables como la que hace del poeta un ángel de luz convertido en ángel de tinieblas. Esto desde Murcia, muy lejos de Madrid, donde Góngora transcurría entonces sus últimos y amargos años, aureolado de una gloria y de escándalo cuyos ecos se oían en toda la península.Quienes participan en esta controversia son son personajes de segunda fila de la República de las letras españolas, asentados en el Sur de España: respectivamente en Murcia para Cascales, donde ejerció como catedrático de Retórica; en Andújar (provincia de Jaén) para Villar, donde fue vicario y juez eclesiástico; y en Loja (provincia de Granada) para Angulo y Pulgar, un hombre acomodado, de linaje noble. El fuego y la pasión con los cuales debaten de la poesía gongorina les llevan a movilizar el sarcasmo más burlón (Cascales) o bien argumentaciones matizadas e ingeniosas, en defensa de su admirado Góngora (Villar y Angulo y Pulgar). La cuestión central es la del estatuto de la lengua moderna en relación con el latín, pero también el uso y los límites de la erudición. Los editores, mediante las notas y el estudio preliminar, restituyen cuidadosamente las tres figuras, las circunstancias del intercambio y las sutilezas de los textos.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Russian Formalism (2021)
    Cornell University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    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〉

    Description: The volume assesses performative structures within a variety of medieval forms of textuality, from vernacular literature to records of parliamentary proceedings, from prayer books to musical composition. Three issues are central to the volume:the role of ritual speech acts the way in which authorship can be seen as created within medieval texts rather than as a given category finally, phenomena of voice, created and situated between citation and repetition, especially in forms which appropriate and transform literary tradition. The volume encompasses articles by historians and musicologists as well as literary scholars.

    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.

    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.

    Sonando van sus nuevas allent parte del mar : El Cantar de mio Cid y el mundo de la épica (2021)
    Presses universitaires du Midi
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: El Cantar de mio Cid, una de las principales obras del canon literario español, es también una de las más importantes en el ámbito de la poesia épica medieval por sus valores estéticos, su influencia histórica y su fundamental papel en la conversión del Cid en un héroe del imaginario universal de la literatura. Aunque la bibliografia sobre esta obra resulta casi incontable, una obra de tal riqueza no se agota jamás a ojos de la critica. En particular, los estudios comparativos relativos a la misma no han adquirido un desarrollo proporcional a la importancia y la influencia de este cantar de gesta. El objetivo de este libro es, entonces, tratar de nuevo algunos de los temas clave del poema y de su descendencia ibérica en las crónicas de la Edad Media (algunos de ellos bastante descuidados por la crítica precedente, como la dimensión simbólica del poema o sus aspectos hagiográficos), pero sobre todo profundizar en la comparación a su voz épica con h de otras literaturas heroicas, desde la épica románica hasta los gunki monogatari japoneses. La obra ha sido dirigida por Alberto Montaner Frutos, catedrático de la Universidad de Zaragoza, que ha desarrollado una larga actividad de investigación sobre la épica española medieval y sus relaciones con la poesia épica de otras literaturas Sus estudios sobre la figura del Cid y su edición critica y comentada de Cancar de mio Cid gozan de una gran reputación.

From practical discussions related to specific texts, to more theoretical discussions about pedagogical practice regarding issues of nationalism and identity, Home-Work constitutes a major investigation and reassessment of the influence of postcolonial theory on Canadian literary pedagogy from some of the top scholars in the field.

    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.

El estudio de las dos grandes tradiciones proféticas que se suceden en la Península, de ascendencia bíblica la una, merliniana la otra, permite deslindar un recorrido a la vez diacrónico y sincrónico, que indaga en una multiplicidad de textos las ramificaciones tanto cronológicas como genéricas del motivo profético.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Crónica de Castilla : Édition et présentation (2021)
    e-Spania Books
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Ésta es la primera edición de una versión completa de la Crónica de Castilla. Poco estudiada y sólo editada parcialmente, la Crónica de Castilla gozó sin embargo de notable éxito y gran posteridad en la Edad Media. Compuesta a principios del siglo XIV, la obra fue traducida en seguida al gallegoportugués y escogida por el conde portugués Pedro de Barcelos como fuente principal del Libro de los linajes (1343) y de la Crónica de 1344. También fue una referencia privilegiada para los historiógrafos castellanos hasta principios del siglo XVI. Tal éxito se debe sin duda al lugar que ocupa en el texto el relato de la vida del personaje que fue y sigue siendo el único héroe de Castilla : Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, llamado el Cid. Así se asemeja la crónica a una novela en la que resplandece la imagen de una realeza caballeresca. Elaborada a partir de dos manuscritos de la tradición (el manuscrito Esp. 12 de la Biblioteca Nacional de Francia y el manuscrito X-I-11 de la Biblioteca del Escorial), la edición va precedida de una presentación de la obra donde la autora muestra que la principal vocación de la Crónica de Castilla, compuesta sin duda por iniciativa de María de Molina, fue celebrar la alianza que la regente contrató con los caballeros y los omnes buenos de las ciudades para asentar a su hijo en el trono.

    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.

    Dramaturgia y reescritura en el teatro de Diego Sánchez de Badajoz (2021)
    Presses universitaires du Midi
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Nacido en Talavera la Real en los últimos años del siglo xv, Diego Sánchez de Badajoz fue cura de su pueblo nativo hasta su muerte hacia la mitad de la centuria siguiente. Un cura tan preocupado por la catequización de sus feligreses, que no vaciló en hacerse cura-dramaturgo y componer, para convertirlos mejor, las veintisiete farsas recogidas, en 1554, en la Recopilación en metro. No por tener, sin embargo, tan declarada finalidad catequística es este teatro religioso aburrido o inhábil. Muy al contrario. Lo que nos descubren los análisis sistemáticos de Françoise Cazal son, hasta ahora muy escasamente captados por la crítica, todo el talento literario y el espíritu festivo del autor de una producción dramática en que se mezclan la variopinta jocosidad de la Edad Media y las interrogaciones doctrinales que iban a ser las del Concilio de Trento. Más aún, los principios metodológicos aplicados à la lectura de las farsas de Diego Sánchez - los procesos de la interlocución examinados a la luz de las teorías de Michel Vinaver, o los de la reescritura de la materia bíblica - ofrecen modelos para el estudio de cualquier otra obra del teatro aún insuficientemente explorado del XVI.

    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.

    Escribir la democracia : Literatura y transiciones democráticas (2021)
    Casa de Velázquez
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Los trabajos aquí reunidos abordan las intervenciones de la literatura en los procesos históricos de transición del siglo XX al siglo XXI, en el momento en que la democracia está por construir o consolidar. En el contexto actual, en el que tanto la discursividad como la representación democrática atraviesan una profunda crisis, escribir la democracia pasa a ser una tarea política, cultural y estética central. El presente libro propone un estudio comparativo inédito de la literatura en régimen democrático, desde el final de la Guerra Fría hasta las Primaveras Árabes. A través de estudios de casos que abordan la justicia literaria y la democracia en España, América latina, la India o el Maghreb, y mediante un diálogo final con cuatro novelistas españoles, esta aproximación transnacional cuestiona la pérdida de centralidad del modelo español de «transición consensual» y sus líneas de fractura recientes que revelan la emergencia de nuevas relaciones entre literatura y democracia.

    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

    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: El Apologético de Espinosa Medrano es un testimonio tardío de la polémica gongorina, el único escrito en América por un defensor del poeta. Se trata de un tratado erudito de crítica literaria en el que un joven predicador y catedrático de Artes y Teología hace gala de su saber, su gracia y su estilo para defender al príncipe de los poetas de España contra los ataques vertidos por Manuel de Faria e Sousa, polígrafo portugués y defensor de Camões. Publicado en Lima en 1662, el libro es también una reivindicación criolla de Espinosa Medrano y de su círculo, apoyada en un contexto imperial complejo. La presente edición crítica, acompañada de un estudio preliminar y de abundante anotación, ofrece una nueva lectura del tratado y de sus fuentes, integrándolo en el corpus de la polémica gongorina en el que su autor lo incluyó.

    La invención de la Novela (2021)
    Casa de Velázquez
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Este volumen es el fruto del seminario hispanofrancés organizado por la Casa de Velázquez durante el curso académico 1992-1993, en la línea de un coloquio anterior dedicado a la comedia áurea y cuyas actas se publicaron en esta misma colección. Los participantes de las tres sesiones de este encuentro no han querido emprender otra vez, al estilo de Menéndez Pelayo, una búsqueda de los orígenes de la novela: a la España aurisecular, en efecto, no se le ocurrió nunca fraguar ni menos aún concebir como tal un género al que aplicamos un término que, en aquel entonces, tenía otro significado del que ha venido a cobrar. De acuerdo con las finalidades del seminario, han preferido enfocar, desde una perspectiva de conjunto, aquellas ficciones narrativas que se van ordenando en torno a una determinada figura -caballero, pastor, moro, peregrino o pícaro-, con el fin de seguir aquel proceso reflexivo que, desde el Amadis hasta más allá del Guzmán o del Quijote, se va desprendiendo de unas experiencias artísticas múltiples, en unos actos sucesivos de escritura cuyas convergencias y divergencias merecían un nuevo examen. Las trece contribuciones aquí reunidas sintetizan, pues, una reflexión colectiva. Se inicia la primera parte del libro con un amplio panorama de la narrativa renacentista, en tanto que las siguientes exposiciones nos permiten deslindar entre modelos y formas. Dentro de la segunda, se nos ofrece un doble balance: el primero, sobre los problemas de la picaresca, previo al estudio del Guzmán de Alfarache y del Buscón; el segundo, sobre la «invención de la novela» por Cervantes, a partir del cual se abren nuevas pistas para futuros trabajos.

    Música y literatura en la España de la Edad Media y del Renacimiento (2021)

    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Al final del siglo XV, y hasta la mitad del siglo XVI, la música todavía no se había independizado de la letra con la que formaba un concierto armonioso. Da la pauta el canto religioso y lo profano respeta tan inspirados ejemplos ofreciendo música cantada y canto musicado. La sociedad de corte es la que ofrece la ilustración más brillante de la textura musical del verso, tanto como de la riqueza expresiva de la música. Parece natural que filólogos y musicólogos se concierten para estudiar estos elementos de la poesía cantada de los siglos XV y XVI. ¡Pero los primeros sólo estudian la letra, los segundos únicamente el canto! De ahí surgió la idea de delimitar cuál fue el entorno en que creció y floreció la poesía cantada. Las fuentes están disponibles en el caso de las personas reales, o las partituras y tablaturas conservadas en los tratados de vihuela. Pero en la mayoría de los casos, el investigador debe reconstruir la figura de un poeta-músico, el conjunto de una obra, los versos que fueron cantados sin que nadie se molestara en apuntar la música. Toda una serie de problemas que no hubieran podido ser resueltos sin la colaboración efectiva de filólogos y musicólogos, cuyo intento queda reflejado en estas páginas.

    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?

    Bourdieu and Literature (2021)

    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.

    Description: El libro De lagrymas fasiendo tinta… consta de tres partes que estudian los cancioneros y la poesía de los cancioneros (siglos xv y xvi), con un interés particular por el espacio peninsular. El primer tiempo es el de la memoria. Se contempla el manuscrito como soporte del transcurso del tiempo y de las prácticas que contribuyeron a su elaboración. El segundo tiempo es el de las identidades, consagrado a las figuras de los poetas cuyas obras fueron compiladas y/o que llevaron a cabo una selección, transcripción y, en ocasiones, una reescritura de los textos que compilaron. El tercer y último tiempo es el de los territorios, considerados como espacios propios de la poesía de cancioneros. Se habla pues de géneros, pero también de su entorno, en el seno de una geopolítica de las Letras que configuran, en Europa, prácticas poéticas cortesanas de finales de la Edad Media y principios de los tiempos modernos.

    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. The book explores themes underpinning this unique interdisciplinary project, drawing together scholars from cultural studies, civics education and linguistics, psychologists, socio-cultural literacy researchers, teacher educators and digital learning experts. Each chapter of the book explores a theme that is common to the project, and celebrates its interdisciplinarity by exploring these themes through different lenses.

    Literatura y Cultura en la Grecia Antigua (2021)
    Universidad Nacional de La Plata. Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: Si bien el concepto de literatura puede presentar aspectos polémicos en la cultura griega antigua, ella se constituye como una definición aplicada al conjunto de textos antiguos en el contexto de su producción, interpretación y posterior recepción, es decir en la medida en que ellos se convierten en vehículos de diseminación pública de ideología y relaciones de poder. El libro propone una reflexión sobre la absorción de las relaciones de poder en la narrativa épica, en las voces marginalizadas de las mujeres homéricas y en el modo en que el mito permite una cartografía del poder en la narrativa hesiódica. Además de ello, se propone una discusión de las instituciones de la ciudadanía a través de la poesía que “literariza” un ritual funeral y de las definiciones de las figuras paternas o de alteridad como los extranjeros en la tragedia. La interpelación al ritual de súplica como práctica social realizada en la parodia de la comedia aristofánica y en el proyecto político de la República de Platón se acompaña con una reflexión final sobre otro contenido cultural, el agón atlético textualizado por Filóstrato en el marco de la segunda sofística. De tal manera, el libro procura ofrecer un itinerario amplio en que se discuten manifestaciones culturales que se conforman en la literatura, en distintos géneros discursivos y en distintos ejes temporales, que aportarán a los estudiosos un proficuo enfoque de la Grecia Antigua en sus textos.

    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: This volume presents a number of studies that project their interest on the ancient world and its permanence through the centuries. The authors gathered here construct a framework of approaches that reveal, from diverse points of view, the symbolic and expressive power of Greco-Latin Literature. In this sense, an inquiry questioning is proposed on the rewriting of classical texts and the intertextuality between myths and motives of the ancient literature in general and later dramaturgy. Each of the studies presented in this volume seeks to shed light on the reasons for the survival of these topics in criticism, literature and theatrical scene.

    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.

    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.

    Antonio Machado hoy (1939-1989) (2021)
    Casa de Velázquez
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: A los cincuenta años de la muerte de Antonio Machado nos ha parecido útil hacer un balance de los numerosos estudios que suscitó su obra, pero sobre todo considerar ésta en su totalidad, con los problemas que plantea su índole plural y fragmentaria, su estructura y su constante evolución. La obra de Antonio Machado puede aparecernos como una obra poética engastada en una obra filosófica que se incluye a su vez en una labor periodística, aunque sabemos que casi todos los escritores españoles publicaron su obra en la prensa. Al crear personajes apócrifos, no se trataba sólo para Machado de pensar y de verse pensar, ni de refugiarse detrás de unas máscaras cómodas. Los cuadernos que escribió al día sin ningún proyecto orgánico muestran también que concebía su obra -a través de la forma literaria que llegó a escoger, casi abandonando a principios de los años veinte, y hasta la guerra, el verso por la prosa- como una materia en perpetua elaboración. Esta concepción de la literatura es, en aquella época, totalmente nueva. No distingue entre esencias diferentes. Ahí se origina la extraordinaria riqueza del pensamiento de Machado pero también cierta dificultad metodológica para dar cuenta de esta obra, resultado de una escritura difusa que superpone varios lenguajes y los une en un trabajo sin fin, que quizá nos permita ver en la prosa machadiana -y, por ejemplo, en la elaboración de una teoría poética práctica- la coronación de la obra lírica. De aquí, no obstante, el indudable fracaso de todo acercamiento temático ajeno o indiferente a la reestructuración continua de los puntos de vista y de lo dicho, a la irremediable tensión o contradicción entre teoría y práctica, que conducen al escritor no sólo de la poesía a la prosa, sino también del solipsismo al elogio del diálogo y a la reflexión crítica, y de éstos al compromiso político y a la militancia por la cultura. ¿Machado, hoy? poco importan las máscaras del poeta o que no haya conseguido imponer su forma. Los caminos de Antonio Machado son graduados, pero siempre coherentes.

    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.

    Deep rivers : Selected Writings on Tamil literature (2021)
    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).

    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.
