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.

Libro Veinte años de literatura cubanoamericana

This work is premised on the assumption that the time that has transpired since the original exodus after the Cuban Revolution has been sufficient to establish a definable Cuban American literature. This volume, which includes 29 authors writing in Spanish who have lived in the United States since at least 1970, is wide ranging in its aspirations and provides samples of the two fundamental components of Cuban American literature.

Libro Todos son hojas

En la España de los siglos XVI y XVII las plantas y las flores fueron objeto de obsesiones literarias y científicas. La introducción y explotación de nuevas especies de plantas y de nuevos productos, alteraron la alimentación y la vida cotidiana de los habitantes de los territorios de la Monarquía Habsburgo. Los grandes autores del Siglo de Oro español constataron estos cambios y describieron con gran detalle las plantas que los inspiraron, aunque con frecuencia sea casi imposible identificar con exactitud las especies botánicas que describen. En definitiva Todos son hojas documenta y ...
