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.

Gabriela Mistral

Libro Gabriela Mistral

Como ver con ojos nuevos a una escritora sobre quien se ha dicho todo, o por lo menos sobre quien se tiene la impresion de que todo ha sido dicho? Lo que es mas: una escritora que colaboro ella misma, con ejemplar constancia, a que quedara de si una imagen sabiamente compuesta, convincente en su misma calculada simplicidad: en una palabra, imperturbable? A esta pregunta responde, con ejemplar rigor intelectual e imaginacion critica, este libro de Lila Zemborain. No satisfecha con los cliches de lectura que han fijado a Gabriela Mistral en su eternidad, Zemborain desmonta el monumento, toma a...

Libro Los sueños de Yayo

Este libro nace del dolor de patria... chica! Toda la vida la hemos pasado mirando con mucha tristeza, con un apesadumbrado sentimiento de impotencia, con unos deseos muy grandes de que todo cambiara, con ese anhelo sincero de que las gentes de nuestra Costa Pacífica pudiesen mirar el futuro con reales esperanzas de cambio y de progreso, que pudiésemos ver a los niños jugar en los patios, desprevenidos y felices, sabiendo que sus padres les pueden asegurar el diario alimento, un vestido decente y una educación de calidad, de principios, con sincero amor por el prójimo, de confianza en...
