Thought and Poetic Structure in San Juan de la Cruz's Symbol of Night
Author: N. Grace AaronPublisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9780820470955
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Thought and Poetic Structure in San Juan de la Cruz's Symbol of Night is a comprehensive appraisal of the traditional critical perspectives of mysticism: philosophical, theological, literary, and psychological. Examining the a priori limitations of these approaches, the book presents an original definition of the symbol as an integral whole of experience and expression, and concludes that night is the form - the organizing principle - of spiritual life.
God Made Word
Author: Dale ShugerPublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487528825
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
The Golden Age of Spanish mysticism has traditionally been read in terms of individual authors or theological traditions. God Made Word, however, considers early modern Spanish mysticism as a question of language and as a discourse that circulated in concrete social, institutional, and geographic spaces. Proposing a new reading of early modern Spanish mysticism, God Made Word traces the struggles over the representation of interiorized spiritual union – the tension between making it known and conveying its unknowability – far beyond the usual canon of mystic literature. Dale Shuger combines a study of genres that have traditionally been the object of literary study, including poetry, theatre, and autobiography, with a language-based analysis of other areas that have largely been studied by historians and theologians. Arguing that these generic separations grew out of an increasing preoccupation with the cultivation and control of interiorized spirituality, God Made Word shows that by tracing certain mystic representations we come to understand the emergence of different discursive rules and expectations for a wide range of representations of the ineffable.

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Realism has not only shaped important schools and periods in literary history, but has also been a fundamental constant of all literature, its first theoretical formulation being the principle of mimesis in Aristotle's Poetics. Realism can be considered by extension one of the main aspects of literary theory, the aims of which must be to define its concepts clearly and to neutralize the imprecision, polysemy, and ambiguity that often characterized the application of realism.

"Don Quixote" and the Poetics of the Novel
Author: Felix Martinez-BonatiPublisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501745298
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
In response to the classic question whether Don Quixote is true to life, Felix Martinez-Bonati defines it as an unrealistic allegory of realism. He maintains that Cervantes's novel presents an ironized universe of literature that plays with the contradictions of traditional wisdom and the variety and limitations of literary forms—including those of verisimilitude. Drawing on Aristotle's Poetics, on the idealist and romantic traditions that originate in Kant, Schiller, Schelling, Hegel, and Coleridge, and on contemporary critical theory, Martinez-Bonati describes the stylistic matrix of Don Quixote as a combination of semirealism, romance fantasy, and comedy. He provides fresh insights into the character of Cervantes's imagination, the composition and unity of Don Quixote, and its generic structure, rhetorical force, and metafictional intentionality.

El Hechizo de Tantos Mundos
Author: Ornella RotaPublisher: Palibrio
ISBN: 1463339178
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
El hechizo de tantos mundos habla de lo bello, estimulante, potencialmente fertil que es el vivir en un mundo pluralista: muchos pueblos, valores, realidades y perspectivas. Y por supuesto muchas preguntas. La primera parte del libro consiste en seis conversaciones, realizadas en Roma, entre la misma autora Ornella Rota y un General de la Aeronautica Militar Vincenzo Parma, personaje eclectico y culto, curioso de viajes en el sentido más amplio de la palabra. La segunda parte comprende las conversaciones entre un músico y artista visual Angelo Sturiale y el famoso escritor mexicano Felipe Montes. Estas conversaciones, realizadas en Monterrey en español, han sido grabadas, traducidas y arregladas por Ornella Rota. Como conclusión ideal de estas reflexiones, el último capítulo, "Descubrimientos", propone un dialogo entre Vincenzo Parla y Angelo Sturiale. Por lo tanto, este libro constituye el resultado de escritura de un lato al otro del Oceano, reuniendo cuatro personajes en apariencia tantos distintos entre si, pero en realidad acomunados por el auspicio de un mundo en el cual pueden coexistir, respetandose entre si e interagir tantas y distintas culturas, enfoques, estilos de vida "quizás profundamente diversas pero todos en lo absoluto dignos de igual consideración, siempre que sean dispuestos a respetar irrenunciablemente los derechos humanos", comenta Vincenzo Parma. Angelo Sturiale espera en la conquista del pluralismo incluso en las esferas más privadas, por ejemplo en la idea de familia "que sigue siendo la realidad más importante de la vida y que pero cada uno tiene el derecho de vivirla según sus propios modelos, siempre que no haya violencia, por ningún tipo y motivo". A parte con sus palabras, Angelo Sturiale está presente en el libro con sus dibujos: esenciales, enigmaticos, cosmopolitas, inconfundibles.
