Taschenbuch. Condition: Gebraucht. Gebraucht - Sehr gut SG - Ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempelt, mit leichten Lagerspuren - This collection of essays explores some of the avenues along which the field of comparative drama studies could be reconfigured at the dawn of the twenty-first century. It offers a comparative analysis of theatre across national and linguistic boundaries while simultaneously acknowledging newer trends in ethnic studies. Indeed, the contributors to this critical anthology productively combine traditional comparative literature methodologies with performance approaches and postcolonial perspectives. In this way, they shed new light on the intertextual, multi-ethnic, and cross-cultural dialogues linking theatrical traditions from Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific region. This book's broad scope bears testimony to the fact that transnational studies can fruitfully illuminate the multiple dramatic voices of our increasingly globalized age.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: New. This volume stems from the understanding that historiographical analyses of the Gita's reception overlook the element of its translation. It begins with this recognition and posits translation as fundamental to any understanding of the Gita's reception. It examines in depth and compares how translations of the Gita do not seek the same aims in all places and at all times and recognizes that translation theories and methodologies are not uniform across nations and eras. Therefore, this volume looks at insolites (unusual, strange) readings of the Gita and how they seek to fill the hermeneutical gap between readings tied to its canonical and scriptural status and those that are distant from the text's tradition.

Readers of "Mythologies" will discover a wealth of fresh primary sources on such little known traditions as those of the Vietnamese, & bold, provocative new interpretations of well-studied traditions, such as those of classical Greece.

Paperback. Condition: NEUF. Essays - Essais. Edited by/ réunis par Dorothy Figueira and/et Jean Bessière.Les rapports entre littérature et mysticisme sont amples et largement partagés par diverses religions et cultures. La tradition d'interprétation du mysticisme et de ces rapports relève de bien des paradigmes. L'oeuvre de Michel de Certeau a renouvelé l'approche du mysticisme et de ses caractérisations symboliques et sociales. Elle est ici le fil rouge qui permet de lire les rapports entre mysticisme et littérature dans une perspective théorique et dans des contextes européens, africains, américains et asiatiques - des mystiques indiens à Hawthorne, de Teilhard de Chardin aux écrivains maghrébins contemporains et à Senghor, de la tradition mystico-littéraire du XIXe siècle aux liens de la théorie littéraire et du mysticisme.The connection between mysticism and literature is both apparent and largely shared by various religions and cultures. The tradition of interpreting mysticism within its various contexts brings into play several paradigms, since the work of Michel de Certeau initiated a renewed interest in the manner in which we look at mysticism and its social and symbolic forms. De Certeau's work provides the connecting thread to the present study, allowing us to read mysticism and literature through a theoretical lens in the essays collected here which deal with European, African, American and Asian texts, from Indian mysticism to Nathaniel Hawthorne, from Teilhard de Chardin to Senghor and contemporary authors from the Maghreb, from the nineteenth-century tradition of literary discussions on mysticism to similarities one can find between its discourse and that of contemporary literary theory.Contributors/Contributeurs : Ipshita Chanda (English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad), Dorothy Figueira (University of Georgia), Gerald Gillespie (Stanford University), Maria Korytowska (Université Jagellonne, Cracovie), Valerio Massimo De Angelis (University of Macerata), S Satish Kumar (University of Georgia), Louiza Kadari (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle), Pierre Leroux (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle), Bernard Mouralis (Université de Cergy- Pontoise), Jean Bessière (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle).Contributions are in English and French. - Nombre de page(s) : 206 - Poids : 701g - Genre : Lettres et linguistique BIBLIOTHEQUE DE LITTERATURE GENERALE ET COMPAREE.

It focuses chiefly on nineteenth-century German, French, and English scholarship, literature, and philosophy, but it also addresses twentieth-century associations between Indo-Germanism and National Socialism and contemporary views on ethnocentrism and political correctness." - Rear Board.

Paperback. Condition: NEUF. The essays in this volume examine contemporary criticism and literary theory as responses to questions elicited by readers' recognition of the presence of ideology in literary works. These responses are themselves ideological. The term "ideology" here designates a system of ideas in criticism and theory. This system allows the reader/critic to read ideology in literature according to prevalent conceptions regarding gender, race, reality, political, social and cultural situations, the use of ethics in literature, and literature itself. The examples of ideology studied here deal with principal critical and theoretical orientations and cover a broad geographical range - the Americas, European countries, India, China, etc. The diversity of the use of ideology in literary studies is critical, while at the same time it fully recognizes literature's status as literature. This volume is organized in 2 parts: Theory and ideology, Literary/Cultural Production and Pedagogy. - Nombre de page(s) : 360 - Poids : 1101g - Genre : Sciences humaines en langue anglaise BIBLIOTHEQUE DE LITTERATURE GENERALE ET COMPAREE.
