Download or read book Cr ation romanesque n gro africaine et ressources de la litt written by Gilbert Savornin and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis Les soleils des indépendances d'Ahmadou Kourouma et Le devoir de violence de Yambo Ouologuem, s'est opérée dans le domaine du roman africain, une rupture fondatrice d'une nouvelle esthétique; celle qui a pris le parti d'écrire un roman différent, authentique et autonome. Aujourd'hui, les actions conjuguées d'une "nouvelle génération" de romanciers et de critiques indiquent clairement que l'existence du roman africain est subordonnée au renouvellement de sa forme. Cet enjeu, J.M Adiaffi et M. Bandaman l'ont compris. L'écriture n'zassa de l'un et le conte-romanesque de l'autre ont donné des oeuvres originales en puisant dans les ressources de la littérature orale et en adoptant les nouvelles formes d'écriture expérimentées sous d'autres cieux.
Download or read book The Dark Child written by Laye Camara and published by Penguin Classics. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dark Child is a vivid and graceful memoir of Camara Laye's youth in the village of Kouroussa, French Guinea, a place steeped in mystery. Laye marvels over his mother's supernatural powers, his father's distinction as the village goldsmith, and his own passage into manhood, which is marked by animistic beliefs and bloody rituals. Eventually, he must choose between this unique place and the academic success that lures him to distant cities. More than autobiography of one boy, this is the universal story of sacred traditions struggling against the encroachment of a modern world. A passionate and deeply affecting record, The Dark Child is a classic of African literature.

Download or read book Functional Approaches to Culture and Translation written by Dirk Delabastita and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2006-10-31 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a generous selection of articles on translation by Professor José Lambert (K.U. Leuven). It traces the intellectual itinerary of their author, who started out as a French and Comparative Literature scholar some four decades ago trying to get a better grip on the problem of inter-literary contacts, and who soon became a key figure in the emergent discipline of Translation Studies, where he is widely known as an indefatigable promoter of descriptively oriented research. This collection shows how José Lambert has never stopped asking new questions about the crucial but often hidden role of language and translation in the world of today. It includes some of the author’s classic papers as well as a few lesser known ones that deserve wider circulation. The editors’ introduction and the bibliography complete this thought-provoking survey of the career of one of the most creative researchers in the field.

Download or read book The Cambridge History of Medieval Monasticism in the Latin West written by Alison I. Beach and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 1244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monasticism, in all of its variations, was a feature of almost every landscape in the medieval West. So ubiquitous were religious women and men throughout the Middle Ages that all medievalists encounter monasticism in their intellectual worlds. While there is enormous interest in medieval monasticism among Anglophone scholars, language is often a barrier to accessing some of the most important and groundbreaking research emerging from Europe. The Cambridge History of Medieval Monasticism in the Latin West offers a comprehensive treatment of medieval monasticism, from Late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. The essays, specially commissioned for this volume and written by an international team of scholars, with contributors from Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, cover a range of topics and themes and represent the most up-to-date discoveries on this topic.

Download or read book Time and the Other written by Johannes Fabian and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time and the Other is a classic work that critically reexamined the relationship between anthropologists and their subjects and reoriented the approach literary critics, philosophers, and historians took to the study of humankind. Johannes Fabian challenges the assumption that anthropologists live in the "here and now," that their subjects live in the "there and then," and that the "other" exists in a time not contemporary with our own. He also pinpoints the emergence, transformation, and differentiation of a variety of uses of time in the history of anthropology that set specific parameters between power and inequality. In this edition, a new postscript by the author revisits popular conceptions of the "other" and the attempt to produce and represent knowledge of other(s).

Download or read book Soil and Culture written by Edward R. Landa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-28 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SOIL: beneath our feet / food and fiber / ashes to ashes, dust to dust / dirt!Soil has been called the final frontier of environmental research. The critical role of soil in biogeochemical processes is tied to its properties and place—porous, structured, and spatially variable, it serves as a conduit, buffer, and transformer of water, solutes and gases. Yet what is complex, life-giving, and sacred to some, is ordinary, even ugly, to others. This is the enigma that is soil. Soil and Culture explores the perception of soil in ancient, traditional, and modern societies. It looks at the visual arts (painting, textiles, sculpture, architecture, film, comics and stamps), prose & poetry, religion, philosophy, anthropology, archaeology, wine production, health & diet, and disease & warfare. Soil and Culture explores high culture and popular culture—from the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch to the films of Steve McQueen. It looks at ancient societies and contemporary artists. Contributors from a variety of disciplines delve into the mind of Carl Jung and the bellies of soil eaters, and explore Chinese paintings, African mud cloths, Mayan rituals, Japanese films, French comic strips, and Russian poetry.

Download or read book Litt rature africaine et oralit written by Baumgardt Ursula and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’oralité a été convoquée dès l’origine par la critique comme l’un des critères d’approche privilégiés de la production littéraire africaine. Celle-ci aurait trouvé en cette source patrimoniale l’un des ferments de sa spécificité. Mais, en près d’un siècle, les littératures africaines écrites ont considérablement évolué dans leur esthétique comme dans leur thématique et les littératures orales aussi. La relation entre les deux champs ne saurait donc avoir été la même tout au long de ces années. L’identification de l’oralité dans la production écrite en des genres traditionnellement étrangers à ce type de culture – qu’il s’agisse de romans, de pièces de théâtre ou de poèmes – peut se manifester sous diverses modalités : évocation thématique, collage de genres oraux dans le corps du texte, structure rhétorique, etc. On peut en outre se demander dans quelle mesure la présence de ces différents traits d’oralité dans les oeuvres écrites est consubstantielle à la création littéraire africaine et si elle ne relèverait pas plutôt de postures idéologiques. L’étude de la relation entre littérature et oralité ne saurait, par ailleurs, se borner à l’examen des traces de culture orale dans l’écriture. On peut aussi partir des oeuvres orales patrimoniales pour voir dans quelle mesure elles relèvent de la littérarité ou si elles ne sont pas en train d’évoluer vers des formes qui les rapprochent de la littérature écrite.
