Quantitative Analysis of Poetic Texts
Author: Ioan-Iovitz Popescu
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110394790
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : ro
Pages : 317
Book Description
The book presents methods for the objective analysis of poetic language. Common objects of literary studies such as rhythm, semantic explications, interpretation and personal impressions are avoided. Only those properties of poetic texts are taken into account that could be quantified. The major chapters contain the analysis of phonic phenomena (frequency, euphony, assonance, alliteration, aggregation, rhyme), word properties (aspects of frequency, length, richness, word classes, sequences of word properties, characterisations). The synergetic control cycle is the result of the study of mutual links between properties. For all methods both statistical tests (evaluation, comparison), theoretical derivations (models), and examples are presented. The book is dedicated to the work of the famous Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu whose complete work was analysed, which made detailed illustrations of the method possible. The methods can be used mutatis mutandis for any language and text. It is the first comprehensive quantitative analysis of a poetic work.

Category : Romanian poetry
Languages : ro
Pages : 0
Book Description
Poetry. Translated from the Romanian by many hands. Edited by Paul Doru Mugar with Adam J. Sorkin and Claudia Serea.

This twenty-year span was defined not only by uncertainty and fears, social inequities and misery, but also by both an enthusiasm and a hope for the future that the recent inclusion of Romania in the European Union made real.--from the introduction by Paul Doru Mugur This anthology includes poems by Cristian Popescu, Iaon Es. Pop, Mihai Gălăţanu, Daniel Bănulescu, Floarea Ţuţuianu, Radu Andriescu, Simona Popescu, Emilian Galaicu-Păun, Ruxandra Cesereanu, O.

Censored Poems
Author: Marin Sorescu
Publisher: Bloodaxe Books
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Romania's comic genius Marin Sorescu was so popular during the worst of the Ceausescu years that his readings had to be held in football stadiums, and his books sold hundreds of thousands of copies. While his witty, ironic parables were not directly critical of the régime, Romanians used to a culture of double-speak could read other meanings in his playful mockery of the human condition. All this time, however, he was also writing the 'secret poems' he did not dare publish then because - as Dan Zamfirescu commented - 'the gesture would have been the equivalent of suicide'. Censored Poems is a selection from two books published in Bucharest after 1989, including borderline poems censored by the authorities as well as the riskier secret poems censored by the author.

Writing on the Walls at Night
Author: Claudia Serea
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781956692013
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
In this new collection of prose poems, Claudia Serea uses surrealism, irony, and black humor to express her experiences, from growing up behind the Iron Curtain to immigrating to New York City. The first section of the book, "There Were No Magic Beans," recalls her childhood in Romania under Nicolae Ceaușescu's rule, a world in which terror mixes with fairy tales, nightmares, and dreams. The second section, "The Keepers of Moon Keys," introduces a cast of peculiar characters, including folk tale protagonists, witches, ghosts, a collector of clouds, a bone music maker, a man who paints the time, and the Lord of Meanwhile. In "Dark Calligraphy," the poet conjures history, remembering war and oppression through the eyes of a child. The reader is guided by a little girl and a museum custodian through the great traumas of recent history. In the last section of the book, "The Russian Hat," Serea transports the reader into a metropolis as strange as the past she carries with her, to the "museum of our lives," where "we are the curators, the visitors, and the paintings that paint themselves." This astonishing place vaguely resembles New York City distorted by memories and dreams, but it might as well be Las Vegas where "what happens in the poem stays in the poem." In this collection, Serea's readers win "pound after pound of shiny poems," the magical beans they will use to escape again and again, discovering hidden meanings with surprise and delight in each new reading.
