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.

Cleopatra

Libro Cleopatra

Harold Bloom realiza un acercamiento literario, crítico y ante todo humanista a los personajes que considera más relevantes de Shakespeare. La segunda: Cleopatra. Cleopatra, una de las mujeres por sí misma más fascinantes de la historia, se convirtió también, gracias a Shakespeare, en uno de los personajes literarios más interesantes. La fusión de la historia y la literatura dieron lugar al mito. Cleopatra se nos presenta como un personaje altamente complejo, trágico y en ocasiones profundamente irritante. En Cleopatra, soy fuego y aire, Harold Bloom analiza su relación con el...

Calderón y el barroco

Libro Calderón y el barroco

Establishing the notion of reasonable foolishness and foolish reason as a generic principle of the old French farce, Boucquey's study examines the interdependencies among four key mimetic phenomena: the demented universe of the Feast of Fools festival, the genre of the farce, Bruegel's representation of the world, and the euphoric comedies of triumphant madness created by Moliere. This reinterpretation of French farce according to the principle of a topsy-turvy world reveals the link of madness that unites the four modes of production studied, from textual linearity, through representational...
