Book Synopsis Placing Modern Greece by : Constanze Guthenke
Download or read book Placing Modern Greece written by Constanze Guthenke and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-02-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Placing Modern Greece is about literary representations of Greece in the period of Romanticism, encompassing the time in the 1820s when it became a territorial and political reality as a nation state. Constanze Guthenke claims that the imagining of and attitude towards Greece was shaped by a fascination with the material, and by the highly conceptualized tension between the ideal on the one hand, and the material on the other. Her study focuses on nature and landscape imagery as vehicles of representation, on their specific inner workings, and on their dynamic, which conditions how and whether Greece as a modern entity in the making can be represented at all. Offering readings from German and contemporaneous Greek authors, Guthenke supplies a commentary on the translation and crossings of representational models and their limits.
Book Synopsis After Antiquity by : Margaret Alexiou
Download or read book After Antiquity written by Margaret Alexiou and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the publication of Ritual Lament in Greek Tradition, widely considered a classic in Modern Greek studies and in collateral fields, Margaret Alexiou established herself as a major intellectual innovator on the interconnections among ancient, medieval, and modern Greek cultures. In her new, eagerly awaited book, Alexiou looks at how language defines the contours of myth and metaphor. Drawing on texts from the New Testament to the present day, Alexiou shows the diversity of the Greek language and its impact at crucial stages of its history on people who were not Greek. She then stipulates the relatedness of literary and "folk" genres, and assesses the importance of rituals and metaphors of the life cycle in shaping narrative forms and systems of imagery.Alexiou places special emphasis on Byzantine literary texts of the sixth and twelfth centuries, providing her own translations where necessary; modern poetry and prose of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and narrative songs and tales in the folk tradition, which she analyzes alongside songs of the life cycle. She devotes particular attention to two genres whose significance she thinks has been much underrated: the tales (paramythia) and the songs of love and marriage.In exploring the relationship between speech and ritual, Alexiou not only takes the Greek language into account but also invokes the neurological disorder of autism, drawing on clinical studies and her own experience as the mother of autistic identical twin sons.
Book Synopsis Songs of Modern Greece by : G. F. Abbott
Download or read book Songs of Modern Greece written by G. F. Abbott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of Modern Greece: With Introductions, Translations, and Notes In preparing this edition of modem Greek songs my object has been to produce a work of interest both to the lover of folk-lore in general, and to the classical scholar in particular. I have avoided, to the best of my knowledge, including any poems previously published in Western Europe, and this limitation has naturally compelled me to reject pieces often of equal and sometimes of superior merit to any contained in the present collection. On the other hand, I have endeavoured by adding an elaborate commentary to render the collection, such as it is, more useful than a mere compilation. In the text my aim has been all through to retain, as far as possible, the classical spelling, carefully marking all places where a letter or syllable has dropped out.

Book Synopsis Ours Once More by : Michael Herzfeld
Download or read book Ours Once More written by Michael Herzfeld and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2020 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this work - one that contributes to both the history and anthropology fields - first appeared in 1982, it was hailed as a landmark study of the role of folklore in nation-building. It has since been highly influential in reshaping the analysis of Greek and European cultural dynamics. In this expanded edition, a new introduction by the author and an epilogue by Sharon Macdonald document its importance for the emergence of serious anthropological interest in European culture and society and for current debates about Greece's often contested place in the complex politics of the European Union.
