Questioning the Canon - Christine Meyer

Questioning the Canon - Christine Meyer

To what extent do minority writers feel represented by the literary canon of a nation and its body of \great works\? To what extent do they adhere to, or contest, the supposedly universal values conveyed through those texts and how do they situate their own works within the national tradition? Building on Edward W. Said¿s contrapuntal readings and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak¿s reflections on the voice of the subaltern, this monograph examines the ways in which Rafik Schami, Emine Sevgi Özdamar,..

Monsters and Monstrosity - From the Canon to the Anti-Canon: Literary and Juridical Subversions

Monsters and Monstrosity - From the Canon to the Anti-Canon: Literary and Juridical Subversions

Every culture has its own monsters, creatures that represent complete alterity and challenge basic notions of self and identity within a given cultural paradigm. This book examines the concept of monstrosity from a number of different perspectives: from monstrosity as a Roman legal violation and experiments in nineteenth-century fiction to modern ideas of monstrosity, linked to trauma, androgyny, postcolonial perspectives, AI and cyborgs.

Shaping the Canons of Ancient Greek Historiography - Imitation, Classicism, and Literary Criticism - Ivan Matijasic

Shaping the Canons of Ancient Greek Historiography - Imitation, Classicism, and Literary Criticism - Ivan Matijasic

The main focus of this book is the ancient formation and development of the canons of Greek historiography. It takes a fresh look on the modern debate on canonical literature and deals with Greek historiographical traditions in the works of ancient rhetors and literary critics. Writings on historiography by Cicero, Quintilian, and Dionysius of Halicarnassus are chiefly taken into account to explore the canons of Greek historians in Hellenistic and Roman Imperial Ages. Essential in canon-formation..

Norms and the Study of Language in Social Life

Norms and the Study of Language in Social Life

Sociolinguistics and the social sciences more generally tend to take an interest in norms as central to social life. The importance of norms is easily discernible in the sociolinguistic canon, for instance in Labov's definition of the speech community as 'participation in a set of shared norms' and Hymes' concepts of 'norms of interaction' and 'norms of interpretation'. Yet, while the notion of norms may play a central role in sociolinguistic theory, there is little explicit theoretical work around..

Literary Genres in the Flavian Age - Canons, Transformations, Reception

Literary Genres in the Flavian Age - Canons, Transformations, Reception

The construction of a new Latin library between the end of the Rlic and the Augustan Principate was anything but an inhibiting factor. The literary flourishing of the Flavian age shows that awareness of this canon rather stimulated creative tension. In the changing socio-cultural context, daring innovations transform the genres of poetry and prose. This volume, which collects papers by influential scholars of early Imperial literature, sheds light on the productive dynamics of the ancient genre system..

The Search for the Self in Statius' ¿Thebaid¿ - Jean-Michel Hulls

The Search for the Self in Statius' ¿Thebaid¿ - Jean-Michel Hulls

The aim of this project is to provide a sustained analysis of the concept of ¿self¿ in Statius¿ Thebaid. It is this project¿s contention that the poem is profoundly interested in ideas of identity and selfhood. The poem stages itself as a metapoetic exploration of the difficulties for a belated epicist in finding a place in the literary canon; it shows the impossibility of squaring large-scale epic poetics with small-scale, finely-wrought Callimacheanism; it reflects the violent disjunction between..

The Origins of the Law in Homer - Shulamit Almog

The Origins of the Law in Homer - Shulamit Almog

The book aims to introduce the Homeric oeuvre into the law and literature canon. It argues for a reading of Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey as primordial narratives on the significance of the rule of law. The book delineates moments of correspondence between the transition from myth to tragedy and the gradual transition from a social existence lacking formal law to an institutionalized legal system as practiced in the polis. It suggests the Homeric epics are a significant milestone in the way justice..
