The Influence of Mikhail Bakhtin on the Formation and Development of the Yale School of Deconstruction
Author: Julio Peiró SemperePublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443860077
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
This book explores the origins of American literary deconstruction in the light of the work of Russian philosopher Mikhail M. Bakhtin. To do so, the author offers a comparative reading of Bakhtin’s work and that of the literary critics who formed the so-called Yale School of Deconstruction: namely, Paul de Man, J. Hillis Miller, Harold Bloom, and Geoffrey Hartman. By resorting to Bakhtin’s challenging understanding of the dialogical nature of the world and his reworking of the notion of temporality in the literary work of art, the readings offered in this book provide the reader with a new point of departure for one of the most influential movements in twentieth century literary theory: literary deconstruction.
Forms of Modernity
Author: Rachel SchmidtPublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 144269419X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
It's a critical cliché that Cervantes' Don Quixote is the first modern novel, but this distinction raises two fundamental questions. First, how does one define a novel? And second, what is the relationship between this genre and understandings of modernity? In Forms of Modernity, Rachel Schmidt examines how seminal theorists and philosophers have wrestled with the status of Cervantes' masterpiece as an 'exemplary novel', in turn contributing to the emergence of key concepts within genre theory. Schmidt's discussion covers the views of well-known thinkers such as Friedrich Schlegel, José Ortega y Gasset, and Mikhail Bakhtin, but also the pivotal contributions of philosophers such as Hermann Cohen and Miguel de Unamuno. These theorists' examinations of Cervantes's fictional knight errant character point to an ever-shifting boundary between the real and the virtual. Drawing from both intellectual and literary history, Forms of Modernity richly explores the development of the categories and theories that we use today to analyze and understand novels.
The Birth and Death of Literary Theory
Author: Galin TihanovPublisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503609731
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 407
Book Description
Until the 1940s, when awareness of Russian Formalism began to spread, literary theory remained almost exclusively a Russian and Eastern European invention. The Birth and Death of Literary Theory tells the story of literary theory by focusing on its formative interwar decades in Russia. Nowhere else did literary theory emerge and peak so early, even as it shared space with other modes of reflection on literature. A comprehensive account of every important Russian trend between the world wars, the book traces their wider impact in the West during the 20th and 21st centuries. Ranging from Formalism and Bakhtin to the legacy of classic literary theory in our post-deconstruction, world literature era, Galin Tihanov provides answers to two fundamental questions: What does it mean to think about literature theoretically, and what happens to literary theory when this option is no longer available? Asserting radical historicity, he offers a time-limited way of reflecting upon literature—not in order to write theory's obituary but to examine its continuous presence across successive regimes of relevance. Engaging and insightful, this is a book for anyone interested in theory's origins and in what has happened since its demise.
A History of Russian Literary Theory and Criticism
Author: Evgeny DobrenkoPublisher: University of Pittsburgh Pre
ISBN: 0822977443
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
This edited volume assembles the work of leading international scholars in a comprehensive history of Russian literary theory and criticism from 1917 to the post-Soviet age. By examining the dynamics of literary criticism and theory in three arenas—political, intellectual, and institutional—the authors capture the progression and structure of Russian literary criticism and its changing function and discourse. The chapters follow early movements such as formalism, the Bakhtin Circle, Proletklut, futurism, the fellow-travelers, and the Russian Association of Proletarian Writers. By the cultural revolution of 1928, literary criticism became a mechanism of Soviet policies, synchronous with official ideology. The chapters follow theory and criticism into the 1930s with examinations of the Union of Soviet Writers, semantic paleontology, and socialist realism under Stalin. A more "humanized" literary criticism appeared during the ravaging years of World War II, only to be supplanted by a return to the party line, Soviet heroism, and anti-Semitism in the late Stalinist period. During Khrushchev's Thaw, there was a remarkable rise in liberal literature and criticism, that was later refuted in the nationalist movement of the "long" 1970s. The same decade saw, on the other hand, the rise to prominence of semiotics and structuralism. Postmodernism and a strong revival of academic literary studies have shared the stage since the start of the post-Soviet era. For the first time anywhere, this collection analyzes all of the important theorists and major critical movements during a tumultuous ideological period in Russian history, including developments in emigre literary theory and criticism.
Discourse Dynamics
Author: Sara SanchezPublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443825360
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
This volume presents a reasoned study of the discourse connectives of attainment of the French language. For the most part, the studies on connectives are based on referentialist descriptive frameworks, which are sustained more or less explicitly on what we have called the general problem of causality, the epistemological foundation of a scientific paradigm which has been used for centuries but which, in our opinion, is now outdated. In the first place, we have submitted this old paradigm to critical debate, showing the limits of its scientific validity. Next, we have placed ourselves in a non-referentialist linguistic framework, the Theory of Argumentation in the Language-System, developed by the French linguist Oswald Ducrot, in which we have formulated a new descriptive proposal for discourse connectives, taking into account both the argumentative configuration and the polyphonic configuration of each of the discourse dynamics generated around a given connective. We have described the argumentative configuration in terms of semantic blocks, and the polyphonic configuration in terms of discourse algorithms, original and innovative heuristic instruments with which we attempt to stimulate a new approach to language more in line with the general scientific approaches of the 21st century, and with the new scientific paradigm which is currently valid.

Book Description
This volume is a comprehensive Handbook of Russian thought that provides an in-depth survey of major figures, currents, and developments in Russian intellectual history, spanning the period from the late eighteenth century to the late twentieth century.

Contrary to the widespread view of Russian modernity as a product of intellectual borrowing and imitation, the essays collected in this volume reveal the creative spirit of Russian thought, which produced a range of original philosophical and social ideas, as well as great literature, art, and criticism. While rejecting reductive interpretations, the Handbook employs a unifying approach to its subject matter, presenting Russian thought in the context of the country's changing historical landscape. This Handbook will open up a new intellectual world to many readers and provide a secure base for its further exploration.
Devotional Music in the Iberian World, 1450-1800
Author: Tess KnightonPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351569473
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 490
Book Description
From the fifteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century, devotional music played a fundamental role in the Iberian world. Songs in the vernacular, usually referred to by the generic name of 'villancico', but including forms as varied as madrigals, ensaladas, tonos, cantatas or even oratorios, were regularly performed at many religious feasts in major churches, royal and private chapels, convents and in monasteries. These compositions appear to have progressively fulfilled or supplemented the role occupied by the Latin motet in other countries and, as they were often composed anew for each celebration, the surviving sources vastly outnumber those of Latin compositions; they can be counted in tens of thousands. The close relationship with secular genres, both musical, literary and performative, turned these compositions into a major vehicle for dissemination of vernacular styles throughout the Iberian world. This model of musical production was also cultivated in Portugal and rapidly exported to the Spanish and Portuguese colonies in America and Asia. In many cases, the villancico repertory represents the oldest surviving source of music produced in these regions, thus affording it a primary role in the construction of national identities. The sixteen essays in this volume explore the development of devotional music in the Iberian world in this period, providing the first broad-based survey of this important genre.

Ensayos de hermenéutica
Author: Julio Amador BechPublisher: UNAM, Dirección General de Publicaciones y Fomento Editorial
ISBN: 6073041810
Category : Philosophy
Languages : es
Pages : 709
Book Description
Toda disciplina científica tiene como sustrato los procesos de comprensión e interpretación, y la hermenéutica contribuye de manera sustantiva a la comprensión e interpretación de discursos, textos, imágenes, producciones audiovisuales y fenómenos sociales, históricos y culturales. Para el autor, la hermenéutica no es un asunto puramente teórico, sino vital; no es sólo un método de conocimiento regido por reglas epistemológicamente estructuradas, sino una forma de ser en la existencia. De ahí que su campo se extienda a todo el ámbito de la vida humana. Este libro, que sirve de apoyo a la docencia y es una guía básica para el desarrollo de trabajos de investigación, comienza corroborando la universalidad del problema hermenéutico, para luego abordar los asuntos nodales que plantean las hermenéuticas de Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Paul Ricoeur y Gilbert Durand. En el último capítulo se presenta una proposición hermenéutica para la interpretación del mito, la cual recupera la larga reflexión sobre el tema, en una nueva vertiente, acorde con la problemática teórica actual. Ensayos de hermenéutica será de interés para lectores con los más diversos intereses y orientaciones teóricas, dentro de las ciencias sociales, las humanidades, la filosofía de las ciencias y las ciencias naturales.
