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.

Joan Logghe's series of poems works like a small novel to reveal the life of an Hispanic Catholic woman with Sephardic Jewish roots. These poems "came" to the author from that place where inspiration and collective memory converge. Burning with compassionate candlelight, Logghe's admired imagery weaves a delicate narrative of strength and appreciation. The series draws on stories and lives of actual women, the author's own life in the Espanola Valley for 25 years, and is dedicated to the Goddess of Wisdom alive in every woman.
