New Perspectives on Arabian Nights

Sinopsis del Libro

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.

Galdós, invención de la mujer y poética de la sexualidad

En los últimos años gran parte del relevo de la crítica dedicada al corpus escritural de Benito Pérez Galdós está en estos momentos cambiando de género. La nueva escritura crítica firmada por mujeres configura y habilita un discurso crítico distinto, abriendo nuevos espacios y explorando parcelas antes desechadas. Este estudio forma parte de esta nueva crítica literaria dedicada a Galdós. Poetizada ésta como una "ciudad" crítico-lingüística, la presente lectura se posiciona entre "barrios". Propone una re-lectura de la novela cumbre de Galdós, Fortunata y Jacinta, desde un...

Discreta efusión

La presente edición es la única que recoge todos los testimonios epistolares de la relación entre Jorge Luis Borges y Reyes (32 misivas en total, en ambas direcciones). Además, reproduce otras correspondencias argentinas de Alfonso Reyes, lo cual permite enmarcar el trato entre ambos en diversos contextos. Ello, a su vez, enriquece con ecos, a veces ciertamente impensados, el intercambio epistolar. Entre esas correspondencias figuran las que Reyes mantuvo con Evar Méndez, Adolfo Bioy Casares y Macedonio Fernández
