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.

El metateatro y la dramática de Vargas Llosa

Libro El metateatro y la dramática de Vargas Llosa

Rivera-Rodas proposes a new concept about what he calls the poetics of the theatrical reception. The discussion of this phenomenon, which also deals with meta theater, focuses on the dramatic work of Mario Vargas Llosa. Examination of the complex relationships of contemporary dramatic structures provides a new definition of meta theater and its effects on the public. Meta theater is shown as a semiotic result not theatrically representable, since it takes place only in the spectator's perceptible experience. Therefore, it does not exist prior to the theatrical or reading reception, nor is it...

Los Aleph: Bolaño y la novela global latinoamericana

Libro Los Aleph: Bolaño y la novela global latinoamericana

En El Aleph, el cuento de Borges, el protagonista encuentra una "pequeña esfera tornasolada" que contiene el infinito: el espacio cósmico y todos los puntos de vista posibles. Dentro de ella, se colapsan los opuestos, entre lo local y lo global, entre el centro y la periferia. A partir de esta potente imagen, el escritor y académico Héctor Hoyos dibuja una carta de navegación para explorar una serie de novelas recientes que cuestionan y evidencian la manera en que hoy América Latina dialoga con el mundo. Desde Roberto Bolaño hasta Fernando Vallejo, pasando por César Aira, Mario...

Hacia la Novela Nueva

Libro Hacia la Novela Nueva

This volume of essays in Spanish and English examines some of the key issues which surround the emergence of the Avant-Garde novel in Spain at the beginning of the twentieth century. The experimental novel of the 1920s is seen as the culmination of a process of change in approaches to the novel which began early in the century and was further promoted by Spain's key Avant-Gardist Ramón Gómez de la Serna. Several essays focus on the form of the novel and seek to shed new light on the role of José Ortega y Gasset as mentor to the new writers of the 1920s and on our understanding of his use...

La cadencia suspendida

Libro La cadencia suspendida

La cadencia suspendida es un ritmo quebrado que avanza y se fija desde cada color encontrado en la naturaleza y en la arquitectura de la ciudad de Turín como melodía para darle forma rítmica a los espacios de la soledad. Valentina Colonna poetiza los aromas, las tonalidades, las formas, los movimientos, las transparencias para fijar su contemplación en lo cotidiano, percibido como oportunidad de lo nuevo que siempre vuelve a instalarse en la idea de que «cada estar es ausencia». El constante juego entre las palabras, la música y sus recuerdos la convierten en un testigo de su...
