New Perspectives on Arabian Nights

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro New Perspectives on Arabian Nights

Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, this comparative study of a selection of The Arabian Nights stories in a cross-cultural context, brings together a number of disciplines and subject areas to examine the workings of narrative. It predominantly focuses on the ways in which the Arabian Nights have transformed as its stories have travelled across historical eras, cultures, genres and media. Departing from the familiar approaches of influence and textual studies, this book locates its central inquiry in the theoretical questions surrounding the workings of ideology, genre and genre ideology in shaping and transforming stories. The ten essays included in this volume respond to a general question, ‘what can the transformation of Nights stories in their travels tell us about narrative and storytelling, and their function in a particular culture?’ Following a Nights story in its travels from past to present, from Middle East to Europe and from literature to film, the book engages in close comparative analyses of ideological variations found in a variety of texts. These analyses allow new modes of reading texts and make it possible to breach new horizons for thinking about narrative. This Book was previously published as a special issue of Middle Eastern Literatures entitled Ideological Variations and Narrative Horizons: New Perspectives on Arabian Nights.

La anarquía inmanentista de Manuel González Prada

Libro La anarquía inmanentista de Manuel González Prada

Tradicionalmente Manuel Gonzalez Prada (Peru: 1844-1918) se ha considerado como un anarquista ateo. En este libro, Thomas Ward desafia esta vision tradicional del ensayista peruano. Hay dos proposiciones fundamentales. La primera confirma que Gonzalez Prada no es ateo, sino panteista. La segunda postula, paradojicamente, que Gonzalez Prada deriva su anarquismo de un analisis panteista de la vida de Jesucristo, de acuerdo con las normas de la filologia decimononica."

La poesía cívica de Jaime García Terrés

Libro La poesía cívica de Jaime García Terrés

La poesía de Jaime García Terrés es analizada en este libro desde una perspectiva histórica y crítica a la vez. Los primeros capítulos nos introducen en la personalidad creativa del poeta y lo sitúan en el seno de la llamada Generación Mexicana del 50. El núcleo central está dedicado al estudio de su trayectoria poética, que encuentra en lo cívico su punto culminante. De ahí que desde lo metapoético y lo culto, descienda a los ámbitos de lo mínimo y de lo cotidiano; y aunque hable casi siempre en nombre de los otros y poetice con destreza el mundo objetivo, no olvide la...
