Download or read book Childhood in African Literature written by Eldred D. Jones and published by Africa World Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "African authors have consistently returned to childhood to find their personal as well as their racial roots. Far from being merely nostalgic yearnings for a lost paradise, many of the treatments of childhood as shown in articles in this issue have exposed a grim reality of cruelty, harshness, parental (particularly paternal) egocentrism and extraordinary bruisings of the vulnerable child psyche. Camara Laye may have portrayed a paradise state but Yvonne Vera has treated one of the cruelest features of childhood anywhere. African authors generally have been sternly responsible in their portrayal of childhood." -- Publisher's description

Download or read book Apuleius and Africa written by Benjamin Todd Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Metamorphoses or Golden Ass of Apuleius (ca. 170 CE) is a Latin novel written by a native of Madauros in Roman North Africa, roughly equal to modern Tunisia together with parts of Libya and Algeria. Apuleius’ novel is based on the model of a lost Greek novel; it narrates the adventures of a Greek character with a Roman name who spends the bulk of the novel transformed into an animal, traveling from Greece to Rome only to end his adventures in the capital city of the empire as a priest of the Egyptian goddess Isis. Apuleius’ Florida and Apology deal more explicitly with the African provenance and character of their author while also demonstrating his complex interaction with Greek, Roman, and local cultures. Apuleius’ philosophical works raise other questions about Greek vs. African and Roman cultural identity. Apuleius in Africa addresses the problem of this intricate complex of different identities and its connection to Apuleius’ literary production. It especially emphasizes Apuleius’ African heritage, a heritage that has for the most part been either downplayed or even deplored by previous scholarship. The contributors include philologists, historians, and experts in material culture; among them are some of the most respected scholars in their fields. The chapters give due attention to all elements of Apuleius’ oeuvre, and break new ground both on the interpretation of Apuleius’ literary production and on the culture of the Roman Empire in the second century. The volume also includes a modern, sub-Saharan contribution in which "Africa" mainly means Mediterranean Africa.

Book excerpt: Il crudo realismo, l’insistente accento sull’uomo e sui suoi stati d’animo, sull’attualità contemporanea, ma anche l’alto grado di consapevole artificio pervade tutta la letteratura dell’Africa “indigena” – quella cioè dei Boscimani e degli Ottentotti e dei Pigmei. Paul Radin, nella sua ricca e preziosa raccolta, seleziona le fiabe e i racconti più rappresentativi di questa letteratura popolare, unica per il tipo d’intreccio, per i contenuti specifici e per gli espedienti letterari cui ricorre – come la funzione dei canti nel contesto prosastico, la frequenza dei finali moralistici, la riconoscibile prevalenza delle spiegazioni eziologiche. La cruda difficoltà di vivere, la furbizia quale stratagemma per la sopravvivenza e anche i temi morali quali l’innocenza e lo spirito d’indipendenza trovano largo spazio nel favoleggiare africano: da Le avventure di Mrile a Com’è venuta la prima pioggia – forse la fiaba più bella – il lettore stesso riconoscerà e saprà apprezzare i tratti distintivi e lo stile dei popoli africani.

Download or read book Italian Children’s Literature and National Identity written by Maria Truglio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book bridges the fields of Children’s Literature and Italian Studies by examining how turn-of-the-century children’s books forged a unified national identity for the new Italian State. Through contextualized close readings of a wide range of texts, Truglio shows how the 19th-century concept of recapitulation, which held that ontogeny (the individual’s development) repeats phylogeny (the evolution of the species), underlies the strategies of this corpus. Italian fairy tales, novels, poems, and short stories imply that the personal development of the child corresponds to and hence naturalizes the modernizing development of the nation. In the context of Italy’s uneven and ambivalent modernization, these narrative trajectories are enabled by a developmental melancholia. Using a psychoanalytic lens, and in dialogue with recent Anglophone Children’s Literature criticism, this study proposes that national identity was constructed via a process of renouncing and incorporating paternal and maternal figures, rendered as compulsory steps into maturity and modernity. With chapters on the heroic figure of Garibaldi, the Orientalized depiction of the South, and the role of girls in formation narratives, this book discloses how melancholic itineraries produced gendered national subjects. This study engages both well-known Italian texts, such as Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio and De Amicis’ Heart, and books that have fallen into obscurity by authors such as Baccini, Treves, Gianelli, and Nuccio. Its approach and corpus shed light on questions being examined by Italianists, Children’s Literature scholars, and social and cultural historians with an interest in national identity formation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a traditional West African Folk story that up to this point has only existed in verbal form, having been passed down through the generations by elders to children around campfires beneath the great, African moon. Fatu is the wife of Momodou and she is without child and unhappy because her husband, a village fisherman ignores her for his fishing duties. She seeks help from the local Marabout man (witch doctor) who lives in a great, hollow baobab tree deep in the jungle. Unexpectedly, Fatu is sent on a quest to obtain milk from a nursing lioness. Her search, and what happens after, contains a life-lesson that is considered important for African children and may be applicable for other cultures around the world as well.
