Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A diverse new anthology that traces the meaning and magic of the sorcerer’s apprentice tale throughout history “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” might conjure up images of Mickey Mouse from the Disney film Fantasia, or of Harry Potter. As this anthology reveals, however, “sorcerer’s apprentice” tales—in which a young person rebels against, or complies with, an authority who holds the keys to magical powers—have been told through the centuries from classical times to today. This collection brings together more than fifty sorcerer’s apprentice stories by a plethora of writers, including Ovid, Sir Walter Scott, and the Brothers Grimm. In an extensive introduction, fairy-tale scholar Jack Zipes discusses the significance of the apprentice stories, the contradictions in popular retellings, and the importance of magic as a tool of resistance against figures who abuse their authority. Twenty specially commissioned black-and-white illustrations by noted artist Natalie Frank bring the stories to visual life.

Download or read book Occult Roots of Religious Studies written by Yves Mühlematter and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historiographers of religious studies have written the history of this discipline primarily as a rationalization of ideological, most prominently theological and phenomenological ideas: first through the establishment of comparative, philological and sociological methods and secondly through the demand for intentional neutrality. This interpretation caused important roots in occult-esoteric traditions to be repressed. This process of “purification” (Latour) is not to be equated with the origin of the academic studies. De facto, the elimination of idealistic theories took time and only happened later. One example concerning the early entanglement is Tibetology, where many researchers and respected chair holders were influenced by theosophical ideas or were even members of the Theosophical Society. Similarly, the emergence of comparatistics cannot be understood without taking into account perennialist ideas of esoteric provenance, which hold that all religions have a common origin. In this perspective, it is not only the history of religious studies which must be revisited, but also the partial shaping of religious studies by these traditions, insofar as it saw itself as a counter-model to occult ideas.

Download or read book Tales of magic, tales in print written by Willem De Blecourt and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the nineteenth century folklorists, and the general public in their wake, have assumed the orality of fairy tales. Only lately have more and more specialists been arguing in favour of at least an interdependence between oral and printed distribution of stories. This book takes an extreme position in that debate: as far as Tales of magic is concerned, the initial transmission proceded exclusively through prints. From a historical perspective, this is the only viable approach; the opposite assumption of a vast unrecorded and thus inaccessible reservoir of oral stories, presents a horror vacui. Only in the course of the nineteenth century, when folklorists started collecting in the field and asked their informants for fairy tales, was this particular genre incorporated into a then feeble oral tradition. Even then story tellers regularly reverted to printed texts. Every recorded fairy tale can be shown to be dependent on previous publications, or to be a new composition, constructed on the basis of fragments of stories already in existence. Tales of magic, tales in print traces the textual history of a number of fairy tale clusters, linking the findings of literary historians on the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries to the material collected by nineteenth- and twentieth-century field workers. While it places fairy tales as a genre firmly in a European context, it also follows particular stories in their dispersion over the rest of the world.

Download or read book Asymptote written by Robert Ziegler and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2009 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asymptote: An Approach to Decadent Fiction offers a radically new approach to the psychology of Decadent creation. Rejecting traditional arguments that Decadence is a celebration of deviance and exhaustion, this study presents the fin-de-siecle novel as a transformative process, a quest for health. By allowing the writer to project into fiction unwanted traits and destructive tendencies - by permitting the playful invention of provisional identities -, Decadent creation itself becomes a dynamic act of creative regeneration. In describing the interrelationship of Decadent authors and their fictions, Asymptote uses the mathematical figure of the asymptote to show how they converge, then split apart, and grow distant. The author's approach to the facsimile selves he plays with and discards is the curve that never merges with his authorial identity. In successive chapters, this study describes the Decadents' experimentation with perversion (Huysmans's A rebours and Mendes's Zo'har), and their subsequent validation of social regulation and creative discipline. It examines magic and its appeal to fantasies of elitism and omnipotence (Péladan's Le Vice supreme and Villiers's Axël ), then shows authors embracing the values of community and service. It considers the Decadent text as a vehicle of change in which an artist ventilates fantasies of aggression and revenge (Mirbeau's Le Journal d'une femme de chamber and Rachilde's La Marquise de Sade) then employs writing as the means by which these feelings are discharged. It examines creation as a form of play, "une aliénation grâce à laquelle l'esprit se récupère sous la forme des autres" (Schwob's Vies imaginaries and Lorrain's Histoires de masques), yet notes the Decadents' decision to return to a single generative center. Finally, it examines creation as an expression of artistic transience and failure, yet shows the Decadents' success in commemorating the very forces of disintegration (Rodenbach's L'Art en exil). In considering the Decadents' insistence on subjectivism and aloneness, this study concludes (Gourmont's Sixtine) by showing their wish to escape the prison of identity and to redefine their art as cooperative creation.

Download or read book Faszination des Illegitimen written by Constanze Gestrich and published by Ergon Verlag. This book was released on 2007 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Familiengeschichten haben bis heute ungebrochen Konjunktur. Die hier entworfenen Konzepte von Verwandtschaft stehen oft im Spannungsfeld von Legitimitat und Illegitimitat und beziehen nicht selten daher ihre Faszination: Immer wieder geht es um uneheliche Kinder, fehlende Vater und Mutter, gebrochene Familienstrukturen. Dabei erweist sich die Frage nach Herkunft und Ursprung, nach Genealogie und Verwandtschaft als zentral. Alteritat wird damit zu einem konstitutiven Element jeder Ursprungserzahlung. Diskursiv verbunden mit diesen "kleinen" Geschichten von Verwandtschaft und Familie sind die "grossen" Herkunftserzahlungen, die der Herstellung kollektiver Identitaten dienen, wie z. B. religiose Ursprungsmythen oder Konzepte von Nation im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Die Denkfiguren von Familie und Verwandtschaft verknupfen jedoch nicht nur Entwurfe kollektiver und individueller Herkunft, sondern auch Diskurse unterschiedlicher Disziplinen: Philologie, Sprachwissenschaft und Asthetik, Medizin, Anthropologie und Psychologie, Biologie und Evolutionstheorie, Religionsgeschichte und Mythologie verwenden gleichermassen Begriffe wie Genealogie, Genus, Gattung, Stammbaum, Verwandtschaft. Eine wichtige Stellung in der Vermittlung und diskursiven Verknupfung der grossen Herkunftserzahlungen und Bildwelten nahm dabei die Literatur im 19., aber auch im 20. Jahrhundert ein. Die Beitrage des vorliegenden Bandes analysieren ihre oft ambivalente Rolle im skizzierten Kontext in Skandinavien und Deutschland ab 1800. Familiengeschichten haben bis heute ungebrochen Konjunktur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, scholars around Europe reflect on the changing role of religious education in a time of growing pluralism in Europe and across the world. The various contributions from different European countries (England and Wales, Germany, Netherlands, and Norway) focus on the debate about the existing multicultural and multireligious situation in European societies. Difference and diversity, especially of religion, is seen as a challenge for education in Europe. The chapters mention trends and common challenges for religious education. As a key term of religious education "religious competence" is introduced. It includes the ability to deal with religious pluralism and differences in a constructive way. It is argued that contextual religious education facilitates a new religious competence. The book also contains detailed information about current developments in the field of religious education in some European countries.

Book excerpt: Wir erklären, dass sich die Herrlichkeit der Welt um eine neue Schönheit bereichert hat: die Schönheit der Geschwindigkeit". - So heißt es im Gründungsmanifest des italienischen Futurismus, das Filippo Tommaso Marinetti am 20. Februar 1909 auf der Titelseite der französischen Tageszeitung Le Figaro veröffentlichte. Ein provozierend vorgetragenes Programm, mit dem die Künstler des Futurismus die Erneuerung und Modernisierung der Künste und der Gesellschaft einforderten. Die Veränderungen der modernen Lebenswelt, die um die Jahrhundertwende in Form des Automobils und der Eisenbahnen, der Elektrizität und der großen Industrien, des Telefons und der Massenmedien Einzug in das Alltagsleben gehalten hatten, wurden zu Ausgangspunkten dieser Bewegung. Eine veränderte Wahrnehmung sollte nicht nur die künstlerische Produktion, sondern das gesamte gesellschaftlich-kulturelle System revolutionieren.00Inwieweit hat diese Revolution ihre Spuren in der Geschichte, Gesellschaft und Kultur des 20. Jahrhunderts hinterlassen? Der vorliegende Band widmet sich den vielfältigen Ausdrucksformen des italienischen Futurismus. Er liefert das Bild einer gesamtgesellschaftlich relevanten Avantgardebewegung und beleuchtet dabei vor allem jene Aspekte, die nicht nur das 20. Jahrhundert, sondern auch die Wahrnehmung der modernen Welt nachhaltig beeinflusst haben.

Book excerpt: Die neu gegründete Reihe Paracelsus Studien bietet ein wissenschaftliches Forum für interdisziplinäre Forschungen, die sich kultur- und wissenschaftshistorisch Modellen eines ganzheitlichen Weltbildes widmen und den Dialog zwischen den Disziplinen anregen.
