Book Synopsis The Narrative of the Occident by : Georg Schmid
Download or read book The Narrative of the Occident written by Georg Schmid and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civilizations «narrate themselves» in order to establish legitimacy, succeed against others, portray their own merits to their best advantage. The results express societal dynamics, yet also have a retroactive effect and decisively influence the self-conceptions of the «initiating societies». Political philosophies, interpretations of history and social perceptions of artistic achievements all contribute to these narratives. The dignified components, however, are by no means the sole or even the most important ones. Distinction in material culture (technological proficiency, popular art forms, etc.) or economic adroitness are even more consequential. The occidental narrative has been badly vacillating lately. Its severe crisis - due in part to a lack of collective self-confidence, but also to disagreements between its main strands - merits a meticulous analysis of a multitude of criteria. The resulting critique is embedded in reflections on a general theory of narrativity.

Book Synopsis Arab Representations of the Occident by : Rasheed El-Enany
Download or read book Arab Representations of the Occident written by Rasheed El-Enany and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of the first books in English to explore Arab responses to Western culture and values in modern Arab literature. Through in-depth research El-Enany examines the attitudes as expressed mainly through works of fiction written by Arab authors during the twentieth, and, to a lesser extent, nineteenth century. It constitutes an original addition to the age-old East-West debate, and is particularly relevant to the current discussion on Islam and the West. Alongside raising highly topical questions about stereotypical ideas concerning Arabs and Muslims in general, the book explores representations of the West by the foremost Arab intellectuals over a two-century period, up to the present day, and will appeal to those with an interest in Islam, the Middle East, nationalism and the so-called ‘Clash of Civilizations’.

Book Synopsis Borders and Beyond: Orient-Occident Crossings in Literature by : Adam Bednarczyk
Download or read book Borders and Beyond: Orient-Occident Crossings in Literature written by Adam Bednarczyk and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2019-01-25 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work presents articles discussing various subjects relating to literary, cultural borders and borderlands as well as their crossings with the Orient and the Occident. A broad, multifaceted scope of the volume draws the attention of readers to the problem of liminal spaces between cultures, genres, codes and languages of literary and artistic communication. The perspective of borderness proposed by orientalists, literary specialists, culture experts provide insights into multi-dimensional and heterogenic subjects and methods of consideration. The authors referring to, inter alia, comparative studies, theory of reception, intertextuality, transculturality of the East and West works touch upon themes such as coexistence, exclusion, crossing or the instability of borders. Also by taking into account identity issues, the interpenetration of various influences between different literatures, poetics and languages, the readers gain a broader context of intercultural dialogue between the Orient and Occident, what allow them to transgress barriers of a purely artistic, literary reception of the book contents. The volume – due to the abundance of proposed topics, its heterogeneous representations and manifold approaches used in analysis, discussion and (re)interpretations – is a debate’s record or a result of an academic reflection rather than a comprehensive monograph.

This book was released on 2014-02-06 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquesta lliçó posa en relleu la importància històrica del renaixement del dret romà a l’Occident medieval, el qual, juntament amb el dret canònic i l’obra dels juristes bolonyesos, es va difondre per tot Europa amb el nom de ius commune. Molt més que un fenomen estrictament jurídic, va significar un veritable canvi cultural l’ona expansiva del qual es va fer sentir en tots els àmbits de la societat medieval. This lesson highlights the historical importance of the revival of Roman law in the medieval West. Along with canon law and the work of the Bolognese jurists, it spread throughout Europe under the name of ius commune. Much more than a strictly legal phenomenon, it brought about a true cultural change, which affected all areas of medieval society.
