The Unity of Plutarch's Work

Sinopsis del Libro

This volume of collected essays explores the premise that Plutarch's work, notwithstanding its amazing thematic multifariousness, constantly pivots on certain ideological pillars which secure its unity and coherence. So, unlike other similar books which, more or less, concentrate on either the Lives or the Moralia or on some particular aspect(s) of Plutarch's oeuvre, the articles of the present volume observe Plutarch at work in both Lives and Moralia, thus bringing forward and illustrating the inner unity of his varied literary production. The subject-matter of the volume is uncommonly wide-ranging and the studies collected here inquire into many important issues of Plutarchean scholarship: the conditions under which Plutarch's writings were separated into two distinct corpora, his methods of work and the various authorial techniques employed, the interplay between Lives and Moralia, Plutarch and politics, Plutarch and philosophy, literary aspects of Plutarch's oeuvre, Plutarch on women, Plutarch in his epistemological and socio-historical context. In sum, this book brings Plutarchean scholarship to date by revisiting and discussing older and recent problematization concerning Plutarch, in an attempt to further illuminate his personality and work.

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.

El cuento folclórico en la literatura y en la tradición oral

Filólogos, pedagogos, psicólogos, folcloristas, antropólogos, historiadores o personas con intereses culturales amplios asedian continuamente, en busca de respuestas, la fortaleza laberíntica e inexpugnable -pese a su apariencia simple- del cuento folclórico, tradicional o popular: el cuento maravilloso, la fábula de animales, el cuento divertido o novelesco, el de adivinanzas, absurdos y chistes. Desde la tradición oral o desde la escrita, desde la fantasía, la leyenda o la realidad, cada cuento alberga en su interior un enorme potencial comunicativo. Y es cultura popular de primer...
