Book Les voix de Marrakech

Download or read book Les voix de Marrakech written by Elias Canetti and published by Albin Michel. This book was released on 1980 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 1954, Elias Canetti fait un voyage à Marrakech. Au cours de ses promenades à travers les quartiers arabes et juifs de la ville, il enregistre des voix, des bruits, des gestes et des images qu'il relate dans son journal, aussitôt de retour à Londres. Il en résulte un ouvrage tout à fait différent d'un récit de voyage, où Canetti observe et transcrit les faits avec exactitude, captant la vie dans sa diversité, désapprenant pour mieux comprendre.

Book The Voices of Marrakesh

Download or read book The Voices of Marrakesh written by Elias Canetti and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1981 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize for Literature, Elias Canetti uncovers the secret life hidden beneath Marrakesh's bewildering array of voices, gestures and faces. In a series of sharply etched scenes, he portrays the languages and cultures of the people who fill its bazaars, cafes, and streets. The book presents vivid images of daily life: the storytellers in the Djema el Fna, the armies of beggars ready to set upon the unwary, and the rituals of Moroccan family life. This is Marrakesh -described by one of Europe's major literary intellects in an account lauded as "cosmopolitan in the tradition of Goethe" by the New York Times. "A unique travel book," according to John Bayley of the "London Review of Books."

Book Francophone Sephardic Fiction

Download or read book Francophone Sephardic Fiction written by Judith Roumani and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-04-13 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francophone Sephardic Fiction:Writing Migration, Diaspora, and Modernity approaches modern Sephardic literature in a comparative way to draw out similarities and differences among selected francophone novelists from various countries, with a focus on North Africa. The definition of Sepharad here is broader than just Spain: it embraces Jews whose ancestors had lived in North Africa for centuries, even before the arrival of Islam, and who still today trace their allegiance to ways of being Jewish that go back to Babylon, as do those whose ancestors spent a few hundred years in Iberia. The author traces the strong influence of oral storytelling on modern novelists of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and explores the idea of the portable homeland, as exile and migration engulfed the long-rooted Sephardic communities. The author also examines diaspora concepts, how modernity and post-modernity threatened traditional ways of life, and how humor and an active return into history for the novel have done more than mere nostalgia could to enliven the portable homeland of modern francophone Sephardic fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elias Canetti soggiornò per un certo periodo del 1954 a Marrakech. Il grande lavoro su "Massa e potere" era giunto a un momento di stasi e lo scrittore sentiva il bisogno di nuove voci, di voci incomprensibili, come quelle che lo avvolsero nella splendida città chiusa dalle sue mura. Vagando per i suk, per le strette vie, per i mercati e le piazze, fra cammelli, mendicanti, donne velate, cantastorie, farabutti, ciechi, commercianti, Canetti, con la sua stupefacente prensilità, capta forme e suoni: «Gli altri, la gente che ha sempre vissuto là e che non capivo, erano per me come me stesso». E il suo libro ha la perfezione e la compattezza dell’istantaneo.

Book Transnational German Studies

Download or read book Transnational German Studies written by Rebecca Braun and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume consists of a series of essays, written by leading scholars within the field, demonstrating the types of inquiry that can be pursued into the transnational realities underpinning German-language culture and history as these travel right around the globe. Contributions discuss the inherent cross-pollination of different languages, times, places and notions of identity within German-language cultures and the ways in which their construction and circulation cannot be contained by national or linguistic borders. In doing so, it is not the aim of the volume to provide a compendium of existing transnational approaches to German Studies or to offer its readers a series of survey chapters on different fields of study to date. Instead, it offers novel research-led chapters that pose a question, a problem or an issue through which contemporary and historical transcultural and transnational processes can be seen at work. Accordingly, each essay isolates a specific area of study and opens it up for exploration, providing readers, especially student readers, not just with examples of transnational phenomena in German language cultures but also with models of how research in these areas can be configured and pursued. Contributors: Angus Nicholls, Anne Fuchs, Benedict Schofield, Birgit Lang, Charlotte Ryland, Claire Baldwin, Dirk Weissmann, Elizabeth Anderson, James Hodkinson, Nicholas Baer, Paulo Soethe, Rebecca Braun, Sara Jones, Sebastian Heiduschke, Stuart Taberner and Ulrike Draesner.

Download or read book Remembering Mass Violence written by Steven High and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remembering Mass Violence breaks new ground in oral history, new media, and performance studies by exploring what is at stake when we attempt to represent war, genocide, and other violations of human rights in a variety of creative works. A model of community-university collaboration, it includes contributions from scholars in a wide range of disciplines, survivors of mass violence, and performers and artists who have created works based on these events. This anthology is global in focus, with essays on Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America. At its core is a productive tension between public and private memory, a dialogue between autobiography and biography, and between individual experience and societal transformation. Remembering Mass Violence will appeal to oral historians, digital practitioners and performance-based artists around the world, as well researchers and activists involved in human rights research, migration studies, and genocide studies.

Book Decolonizing Memory

Download or read book Decolonizing Memory written by Jill Jarvis and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-10 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnitude of the legal violence exercised by the French to colonize and occupy Algeria (1830–1962) is such that only aesthetic works have been able to register its enduring effects. In Decolonizing Memory Jill Jarvis examines the power of literature to provide what demographic data, historical facts, and legal trials have not in terms of attesting to and accounting for this destruction. Taking up the unfinished work of decolonization since 1962, Algerian writers have played a crucial role in forging historical memory and nurturing political resistance—their work helps to make possible what state violence has rendered almost unthinkable. Drawing together readings of multilingual texts by Yamina Mechakra, Waciny Laredj, Zahia Rahmani, Fadhma Aïth Mansour Amrouche, Assia Djebar, and Samira Negrouche alongside theoretical, juridical, visual, and activist texts from both Algeria’s national liberation war (1954–1962) and war on civilians (1988–1999), this book challenges temporal and geographical frameworks that have implicitly organized studies of cultural memory around Euro-American reference points. Jarvis shows how this literature rewrites history, disputes state authority to arbitrate justice, and cultivates a multilingual archive for imagining decolonized futures.

Book Regeneration Through Empire

    Book Details:
  • Author : Margaret Cook Andersen
  • Publisher : U of Nebraska Press
  • Release : 2015-01-01
  • ISBN : 0803244975
  • Pages : 341 pages

Download or read book Regeneration Through Empire written by Margaret Cook Andersen and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following France’s defeat in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870–71, French patriots feared that their country was in danger of becoming a second-rate power in Europe. Decreasing birth rates had largely slowed French population growth, and the country’s population was not keeping pace with that of its European neighbors. To regain its standing in the European world, France set its sights on building a vast colonial empire while simultaneously developing a policy of pronatalism to reverse these demographic trends. Though representing distinct political movements, colonial supporters and pronatalist organizations were born of the same crisis and reflected similar anxieties concerning France’s trajectory and position in the world. Regeneration through Empire explores the intersection between colonial lobbyists and pronatalists in France’s Third Republic. Margaret Cook Andersen argues that as the pronatalist movement became more organized at the end of the nineteenth century, pronatalists increasingly understood their demographic crisis in terms that transcended the boundaries of the metropole and began to position the French empire, specifically its colonial holdings in North Africa and Madagascar, as a key component in the nation’s regeneration. Drawing on an array of primary sources from French archives, Regeneration through Empire is the first book to analyze the relationship between depopulation and imperialism.
