Download or read book The Unity of Plutarch s Work written by Anastasios Nikolaidis and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-12-10 with total page 869 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of collected essays explores the premise that Plutarch’s work, notwithstanding its amazing thematic multifariousness, constantly pivots on certain ideological pillars which secure its unity and coherence. So, unlike other similar books which, more or less, concentrate on either the Lives or the Moralia or on some particular aspect(s) of Plutarch’s œuvre, the articles of the present volume observe Plutarch at work in both Lives and Moralia, thus bringing forward and illustrating the inner unity of his varied literary production. The subject-matter of the volume is uncommonly wide-ranging and the studies collected here inquire into many important issues of Plutarchean scholarship: the conditions under which Plutarch’s writings were separated into two distinct corpora, his methods of work and the various authorial techniques employed, the interplay between Lives and Moralia, Plutarch and politics, Plutarch and philosophy, literary aspects of Plutarch’s œuvre, Plutarch on women, Plutarch in his epistemological and socio-historical context. In sum, this book brings Plutarchean scholarship to date by revisiting and discussing older and recent problematization concerning Plutarch, in an attempt to further illuminate his personality and work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A representative selection of tales from the Italian fairy-tale tradition, translated into English. This comprehensive collection of Italian tales in English encourages a revisitation of the fairy-tale canon in light of some of the most fascinating material that has often been excluded from it. In the United States, we tend to associate fairy tales with children and are most familiar with the tales of the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, and Disney. But the first literary fairy tales appeared in Renaissance Italy, and long before the Grimms there was already a rich and sophisticated tradition that included hundreds of tales, including many of those today considered "classic." The authors featured in this volume have, over the centuries, explored and interrogated the intersections between elite and popular cultures and oral and literary narratives, just as they have investigated the ways in which fairy tales have been and continue to be rewritten as expressions of both collective identities and individual sensibilities. The fairy tale in its Italian incarnations provides a striking example of how this genre is a potent vehicle for expressing cultural aspirations and anxieties as well as for imagining different ways of narrating shared futures.
Download or read book La notte dei lampi Parte seconda written by Giovanni Piana and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-12-26 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'ampia esposizione della filosofia del mito di Ernst Cassirer rappresenta per Giovanni Piana un'occasione per mostrare che, attraverso un approccio fenomenologico-strutturale, è possibile fare intravvedere i lineamenti di un nuovo modo di approccio alla tematica dell'immaginario nella filosofia della religione. Cosicché la discussione non solo si estende implicando le classiche posizioni di Lévy-Bruhl e Frazer, ma propone concetti originali - come quello di "reificazione incompleta" - che fanno intravvedere la possibilità di percorrere vie nuove. Il filo conduttore dell'immaginario fa da guida anche per la nozione di spazio, fornendo un esempio di analisi "costitutiva" che mostra come dall'origine di quella nozione dall'esperienza si pervenga alla sua concettualizzazione astratta.
