Download or read book The Canonical Debate Today written by Liviu Papadima and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2011-03-10 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canonical Debate Today. Crossing Disciplinary and Cultural Boundaries re-enacts the canonical issues current in the ’90s from a new perspective, triggered by the changes that occurred worldwide in understanding the concepts and the status of theory, in the legacy of literary studies within the field of humanities, and in cultural production and reception. During the last decade discussions of globalization mostly took into account its impact on the status of academic disciplines such as comparative literature or cultural studies, or the reconfiguration of national literary fields. These debates do not dispense with canonicity altogether but make it more urgent and necessary. Canons seen as sets of norms or regulatory practices are central to the formation of disciplines, to the recognition and transmission of values, even to the articulation of discourses on identity on various levels. The three sections of the volume deal with three interrelated subjects: theories and applicable contexts of the canon (Canons and Contexts); recent transformations in the area of literary studies in response to the task of canon formation (Reshaping Literary Studies); and the challenges brought to the understanding of the canon(s) by the current process of re-defining literary and cultural boundaries (Transgressing Literary and Cultural Boundaries). This volume will appeal to researchers, teachers, and students of cultural studies, comparative literature, and literary theory.
Download or read book Distant Palaces written by Abilio Estevez and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2011-12-03 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel of Havana. With passion and eloquence, master craftsman Abilio Estevez brings to life the mysterious, broken down city of Havana on the eve of the new millennium. Victorio, a lonely, middle-aged gay man, awakes to the news that the ancient palace where he rents a tiny apartment is scheduled to be demolished, leaving him homeless. Wandering the streets in search of a new place to call his own, he meets two unusual people who are destined to change his life: Salma, a young prostitute, and Don Fuco, an eccentric old clown who brings both of them to live in his own refuge, an abandoned theater. In a city riddled with conflict and no longer tolerant of outcasts, the pair find solace in one another and in the dilapidated theater that shelters them, and a renewed joy in their collective abilities to entertain people with their clowning. But when the harsh realities of life intrude on their self-contained utopia, Victorio and Salma are forced back out into the streets, where they struggle to keep beauty and laughter alive. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more.

Download or read book Chira Chiralina written by Panait Istrati and published by Humanitas SA. This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: „Chira Chiralina e prima mea operă şi-mi rămâne scumpă între toate... Şi poate că azi plângem amândoi pe ruinele unor năzuinţi cari ne-au fost deopotrivă de scumpe...“ (Panait ISTRATI) Tragică, romantică, exotică, fermecătoare, plină de aventuri şi de pasiuni interzise, împletind viciul şi virtutea, abjecţia şi nobleţea, Chira Chiralina este una dintre cele mai tulburătoare scrieri din literatura română şi o neobosită pledoarie pentru libertate. Tânăra Chira, ademenitoare şi naivă, îndrăzneaţă şi nesăbuită, îşi duce zilele alături de mama ei în petreceri şi răsfăţ. Seară de seară, cu o nepăsare sporită parcă de apăsarea sorţii, fata îşi primeşte oaspeţii într-un cadru sufocat de erotism, devenind, cu voie ori fără voie, idealul amăgitor al fratelui ei mai mic, Dragomir. Când, asemenea oricărei iluzii, Chira îi scapă tânărului printre degete, acesta porneşte pe urmele ei prin lumea cea mare, într-o călătorie care-i perverteşte sufletul şi-i îngenunchează spiritul. Odiseea levantină a căutării surorii iubite zugrăveşte un preţios tablou al Orientului la mijloc de secol XIX şi oferă impresionante lecţii de viaţă. La capătul drumului, hoinarul Dragomir, înţelepţit, îşi transpune experienţa pribegiei într-o poveste de o frumuseţe răscolitoare. Scutite de grijile gospodăriei, cele două femei îşi petreceau vremea cu odihna, cu baia, cu toaleta, cu siropurile, cu mâncarea, cu narghilelele şi cu primirea curtezanilor. Nu uitau nici rugăciunile, dar nu se duceau niciodată la biserică, iar timpul sacrificat lui Dumnezeu era foarte scurt... Şi, desigur, mama era mulţumită de ceea ce Dumnezeu voia ca ea să facă, fiindcă el nu vrea lucruri silnice. El voia, mai întâi, ca mama şi fiica să stea în pat dimineaţa, cât le-o plăcea – loc potrivit pentru a ronţăi pesmeţi cu unt şi miere şi pentru a bea cafeaua cu lapte. Dumnezeu le poruncea apoi să se îmbăieze şi să-şi ungă corpul cu elixir de smirnă, să-şi înfrăgezeze obrajii cu abur de lapte fierbând la foc mic; să-şi facă părul lucios cu unt de migdale parfumat cu mosc; să-şi lustruiască unghiile cu o pensulă înmuiată în esenţă de anilină de acaju. Era apoi o întreagă daraveră cu toaleta genelor, sprâncenelor, buzelor şi obrajilor. Şi când totul era gata, urmau dejunul, fumatul şi siesta. Se trezeau când soarele era la chindie, pentru a arde aromate, pentru a bea siropuri şi în sfârşit pentru a începe marea dandana a zilei: cântecele, danţurile, cheful care ţinea până la miezul nopţii.
Book Synopsis History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe by : Marcel Cornis-Pope
Download or read book History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe written by Marcel Cornis-Pope and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-29 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Types and stereotypes is the fourth and last volume of a path-breaking multinational literary history that incorporates innovative features relevant to the writing of literary history in general. Instead of offering a traditional chronological narrative of the period 1800-1989, the History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe approaches the region’s literatures from five complementary angles, focusing on literature’s participation in and reaction to key political events, literary periods and genres, the literatures of cities and sub-regions, literary institutions, and figures of representation. The main objective of the project is to challenge the self-enclosure of national literatures in traditional literary histories, to contextualize them in a regional perspective, and to recover individual works, writers, and minority literatures that national histories have marginalized or ignored. Types and stereotypes brings together articles that rethink the figures of National Poets, figurations of the Family, Women, Outlaws, and Others, as well as figures of Trauma and Mediation. As in the previous three volumes, the historical and imaginary figures discussed here constantly change and readjust to new political and social conditions. An Epilogue complements the basic history, focusing on the contradictory transformations of East-Central European literary cultures after 1989. This volume will be of interest to the region’s literary historians, to students and teachers of comparative literature, to cultural historians, and to the general public interested in exploring the literatures of a rich and resourceful cultural region.

Download or read book The Romanian written by Bruce Benderson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-02-02 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2004 Prix de Flore—one of France's most distinguished literary prizes—a wildly romantic, true-life love story “History follows a trail of sputtering desire, often calling upon the delusions of lovers to generate the sparks. If it weren’t for us, the world would suffer from a dismal lack of stories," writes Bruce Benderson in this brutally candid memoir. “What astonishes and intrigues is Benderson’s way of recounting, in the sweetest possible voice, things that are considered shocking,” wrote Le Monde. What’s so shocking? It’s not just Benderson’s job translating Céline Dion’s saccharine autobiography, which he admits is driving him mad; but his unrequited love for an impoverished Romanian in “cheap club-kid platforms with dollar signs in his squinting eyes,” whom he meets while on a journalism assignment in Eastern Europe. Rather than retreat, Benderson absorbs everything he can about Romanian culture and discovers an uncanny similarity between his own obsession for the Romanian (named Romulus) and the disastrous love affair of King Carol II, the last king of Romania (1893-1953). Throughout, Benderson—“absolutely free of bitterness, nastiness, or any desire to protect himself,” wrote Le Monde—is sustained by little white codeine pills, a poetic self-awareness, a sense of humor, and an unwavering belief in the perfect romance, even as wild dogs chase him down Romanian streets.
