Download or read book The Poem as Icon written by Margaret H. Freeman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is the most complex and intricate of human language used across all languages and cultures. Its relation to the worlds of human experience has perplexed writers and readers for centuries, as has the question of evaluation and judgment: what makes a poem "work" and endure. The Poem as Icon focuses on the art of poetry to explore its nature and function: not interpretation but experience; not what poetry means but what it does. Using both historic and contemporary approaches of embodied cognition from various disciplines, Margaret Freeman argues that a poem's success lies in its ability to become an icon of the felt "being" of reality. Freeman explains how the features of semblance, metaphor, schema, and affect work to make a poem an icon, with detailed examples from various poets. By analyzing the ways poetry provides insights into the workings of human cognition, Freeman claims that taste, beauty, and pleasure in the arts are simply products of the aesthetic faculty, and not the aesthetic faculty itself. The aesthetic faculty, she argues, should be understood as the science of human perception, and therefore constitutive of the cognitive processes of attention, imagination, memory, discrimination, expertise, and judgment.

Download or read book A Dynamic Modernity written by Seema Bhaduri and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-09-22 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compares selected Indian novels with their Western models, to trace the differences appearing in them to the traditions of thought and understanding that had influenced the respective world-views. Beginning with a survey of the rise of modernity in India, this book presents a comparative review of Western and Indian ontological interpretations of the major themes governing these novels. These novels in Bengali, Hindi and English experiment with the form of the Western psychological novel to portray the individual’s private thoughts and experiences realistically. They represent that body of fiction which dwells on the different aspects of the rise of the modernist Indian temperament under British influence. The novels map nearly half a century of the individual’s struggle for meaning and freedom in a society trapped between history, tradition and westernization. Using free translations, this book illustrates the novelists’ methods of improvisation with Western themes, styles and techniques to portray the Indian understanding of selfhood, art, and reality. The concluding comparative poetics discusses in a comparative perspective, the poetic principles underlying the novelists’ assimilation, comparison, and parody of the Western texts. A mutual comparison of the Indian novels illustrates the diversity that characterizes the cross-cultural experience of Indian modernity. Reviews: "A Dynamic Modernity: Adaptation and Parody in Six Twentieth Century Indian Novels is a seminal contribution to the study of literary reception and transformation in the field of comparative literary studies in India. It engages with the stream-of-consciousness novels in Western and Indian literatures, and the choice of the genre becomes important as it allows the reader to rethink questions of modernism, the philosophy of the self in the cultures concerned, representation and realism, and diffferences embedded in concepts of aesthetics in different cultures." - Subha Chakraborty Dasgupta Former Professor of Comparative Literature, Jadavpur University "A welcome and useful study, competently handled, offering analysis of some of the most outstanding fiction writers." - G. N. Devy
