Download or read book Grimms Tales around the Globe written by Vanessa Joosen and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grimms’ fairy tales are among the best-known stories in the world, but the way they have been introduced into and interpreted by cultures across the globe has varied enormously. In Grimms’ Tales around the Globe, editors Vanessa Joosen and Gillian Lathey bring together scholars from Asia, Europe, and North and Latin America to investigate the international reception of the Grimms’ tales. The essays in this volume offer insights into the social and literary role of the tales in a number of countries and languages, finding aspects that are internationally constant as well as locally particular. In the first section, Cultural Resistance and Assimilation, contributors consider the global history of the reception of the Grimms’ tales in a range of cultures. In these eight chapters, scholars explore how cunning translators and daring publishers around the world reshaped and rewrote the tales, incorporating them into existing fairy-tale traditions, inspiring new writings, and often introducing new uncertainties of meaning into the already ambiguous stories. Contributors in the second part, Reframings, Paratexts, and Multimedia Translations, shed light on how the Grimms’ tales were affected by intermedial adaptation when traveling abroad. These six chapters focus on illustrations, manga, and film and television adaptations. In all, contributors take a wide view of the tales’ history in a range of locales—including Poland, China, Croatia, India, Japan, and France. Grimms’ Tales around the Globe shows that the tales, with their paradox between the universal and the local and their long and world-spanning translation history, form a unique and exciting corpus for the study of reception. Fairy-tale and folklore scholars as well as readers interested in literary history and translation will appreciate this enlightening volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filón; el personaje de esta novela, emprende una cruzada en contra de un mundo que se ha sumergido en una total crisis de proporciones apocalípticas, llevado por sus lecturas de metafísica y alquimia tradicional, se vuelve loco, y rompe con todo lo establecido en los tiempos modernos, en una suerte de profeta callejero, predicando el advenimiento de la Edad de Oro, lo que lo lleva a ser perseguido como enemigo número uno del establishment, y de la Bestia; que lo considera un loco peligroso y reo de lesa humanidad, ya que había postulado, contrariamente al pensamiento de Nietzsche, que en realidad, quien había muerto era la humanidad; y no Dios. El poder lo perseguirá, mientras la ciencia siquiátrica tratará de sicoanalizarlo para encontrar las causas de su errática locura. Filón logrará escapar entre las catacumbas de una gran persecución, refugiándose en el Árbol de la Vida, más allá del bien y del mal. Pasando por varias aventuras, hasta probar el mismo infierno.

Download or read book Esther Tusquets written by Nina L. Molinaro and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-12 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume reviews and revisits the life and work of Spanish writer, editor, and intellectual Esther Tusquets (1936–2012). The author of some seven novels, three collections of short stories, two books for children, seven volumes of essays and memoirs, and an extensive corpus of journalistic and other short prose texts, Tusquets’s contributions to contemporary Spanish culture and literature are vast and heterogeneous. Most academic scholarship to date has been dedicated to Tusquets’s groundbreaking novelistic trilogy (El mismo mar de todos los veranos [1978], El amor es un juego solitario [1979], Varada tras el último naufragio [1980]) and to her unified short-story collection, Siete miradas en el mismo paisaje (1979). The essays contained in Esther Tusquets: Scholarly Correspondences offer new readings of the author’s canonical fiction and delve into the largely unexplored terrain of her non-fiction. Participating faculty-scholars include Nina L. Molinaro (University of Colorado at Boulder); Maureen Tobin Stanley (University of Minnesota Duluth); Inmaculada Pertusa-Seva (Western Kentucky University); Laura Lonsdale (Queen’s College, University of Oxford); Stacey Dolgin Casado (University of Georgia); Abigail Lee Six (Royal Holloway, University of London); María Elena Soliño (University of Houston); Mayte de Lama (Elon University); Catherine G. Bellver (University of Nevada, Las Vegas); Rosalía Cornejo Parriego (University of Ottawa); Meri Torras Francès (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona); and Mary S. Vázquez (Davidson College). The volume concludes with a complete bibliography by Tiffany L. Malloy of works by and about Tusquets.
