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.

La extranjería argentina

Libro La extranjería argentina

Dice César Aira que si se hiciera un estudio sistemático de la posición de exilio de los grandes escritores, de cualquier época, los resultados serían sorprendentes. Es probable, de hecho, que terminaran siendo excepciones los que vivieron e hicieron su obra en su patria y su lengua. La extranjería argentina, de Marcos Seifert, parece poner a prueba esta boutade en la lectura de una serie de ficciones contemporáneas que encuentran en los desacoples entre lengua, territorio y cultura un principio inherente a nuestra literatura. Enlazados por la imaginación crítica de Seifert, los...
