Book The Function of Evil across Disciplinary Contexts

Download or read book The Function of Evil across Disciplinary Contexts written by Malcah Effron and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Functions of Evil Across Disciplinary Contexts explores answers to two important questions about the age-old theme of evil: is there any use in using the concept of evil in cultural, psychological, or other secular evaluations of the world and its productions? Most importantly, if there is, what might these functions be? By looking across several disciplines and analyzing evil as it is referenced across a broad spectrum of phenomena, this work demonstrates the varying ways that we interact with the ethical dilemma as academics, as citizens, and as people. The work draws from authors in different fields—including history, literary and film studies, philosophy, and psychology—and from around the world to provide an analysis of evil in such topics as deeply canonical as Beowulf and Shakespeare to subjects as culturally resonant as Stephen King, Captain America, or the War on Terror. By bringing together this otherwise disparate collection of scholarship, this collection reveals that discussions of evil across disciplines have always been questions of how cultures represent that which they find socially abhorrent. This work thus opens the conversation about evil outside of field-specific limitations, simultaneously demonstrating the assumptions that undergird the manner by which such a conversation proceeds.

  • ISBN : 1443804207
  • Pages : 120 pages

Download or read book Friends and Foes Volume I written by Barbara Gabriella Renzi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-14 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The product of an international, multi-disciplinary conference at Queen’s University Belfast, the two-volume Friends and Foes series offers an illuminating investigation of the relationship between friendship and conflict by established and emerging scholars. In this first volume, which collects together philosophical and cultural essays on the topic, the authors raise and tackle some of the most pertinent issues central to the understanding, and making, of friendship. What constitutes friendship? What challenges, duties and pleasures does friendship entail? The ambiguity of friendship is a recurring theme in the book, and Mark Vernon’s essay on the philosophical history of thinking about friendship’s ambiguity provides the perfect point of entry for discussion of the compelling literary and theatrical representations which follow, in the work of writers such as Maria Edgeworth, Gregory Burke, and Edgar Allan Poe.

  • Author : Wolf Schmid
  • Publisher : Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
  • Release : 2023-08-07
  • ISBN : 3111242633
  • Pages : 162 pages

Download or read book The Nonnarrated written by Wolf Schmid and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telling a story requires selecting and assembling individual elements of the events one wishes to communicate. The "nonnarrated" are the events (or parts of events) that were deliberately left out of the selection, meaning all that was not chosen to be told in the story, or chosen not to be told. Since the realm of the nonnarrated in any given story is infinitely large, studying the nonnarrated requires focusing on that which is not told but nevertheless belongs to a story. This monograph explores the phenomenon of the nonnarrated in narrative short forms from Cechov to Murakami and in novels by Dostoevskij and Robbe-Grillet.

Book The Urban Fantastic in Nineteenth Century European Literature

Download or read book The Urban Fantastic in Nineteenth Century European Literature written by Patricia García and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Urban Fantastic in Nineteenth-Century European Literature explores transnational perspectives of modern city life in Europe by engaging with the fantastic tropes and metaphors used by writers of short fiction. Focusing on the literary city and literary representations of urban experience throughout the nineteenth century, the works discussed incorporate supernatural occurrences in a European city and the supernatural of these stories stems from and belongs to the city. The argument is structured around three primary themes. “Architectures”, “Encounters” and “Rhythms” make reference to three axes of city life: material space, human encounters, and movement. This thematic approach highlights cultural continuities and thus supports the use of the label of “urban fantastic” within and across the European traditions studied here.
