New Perspectives on Arabian Nights

Ficha 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.

Me gusta el olor de los libros, más aún su tacto. La vida sin libros sería para mí un horror vacío. Charles Van Doren Con un maestro como Charles Van Doren, cuyo entusiasmo ha inspirado a generaciones de estudiantes, no es difícil contagiarse del placer de leer. De la mano de Van Doren...

Manuel Puig

Libro Manuel Puig

Que sabe la literatura de Puig? Segun que medios, inhallables en otra obra, formula ese saber? Un saber de que naturaleza? Nos preguntabamos: por que nos gustan las novelas de Puig?, por que creemos, sin duda, en el valor literario de esta obra?, y, ademas, por que no encontramos en la critica, ni siquiera en aquella que comparte nuestras apreciaciones, una referencia a eso que seria lo propio de esta literatura, lo que ella tiene, para nosotros, de incomparable?, cual, si no la parodia, la critica ideologica o la "modernidad," es su verdadero valor? Todo gira alrededor de una incognita: eso, ...
