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.

O mundo movente de riobaldo em Grande Sertão: veredas

[POR] Este artigo expõe os conflitos que movem a realidade afetiva de Riobaldo durante sua «travessia» lírica, épica e dramática na obra Grande Sertão: veredas. Os elementos idílicos como aves, rios, matas, céu e montanhas contrastam com o mundo agreste do sertão. A épica propende para as ações cavalheirescas durante a travessia. O drama reside no amor contido e transgressor por Diadorim que era sua neblina e sua luz, motor da tragédia que relembra no «range rede» de sua memória. Tudo é revelado, em uma elaboração linguística objetiva, pela voz sincopada de Riobaldo....

La noche del pequeño búho

It's evening in the forest and Little Owl wakes up from his day-long sleep to watch his friends enjoying the night. Hedgehog sniffs for mushrooms, Skunk nibbles at berries, Frog croaks, and Cricket sings. A full moon rises and Little Owl can't understand why anyone would want to miss it. Could the daytime be nearly as wonderful?
