Text as Topos in Religious Literature of the Spanish Golden Age

Resumen del Libro

Libro Text as Topos in Religious Literature of the Spanish Golden Age

The central component of this study is an index of the numerous motifs through which topoi of the text as symbol are articulated in the religious poetry, sermons, and sacramental plays of Golden Age Spain. Paired with the index is an anthology of the texts on which the book is based. In her introduction, Louise Salstad discusses the transmission and transformation of the topoi as they appear in the Old and New Testaments, classical literature, church writings, and medieval texts, and she considers the influence of the contemporary milieu on the shaping of these motifs. The book also includes an explanatory introduction to the index, biographical notes on authors, a chronology of works, a bibliography, and key word indexes of motifs in English and Spanish. The most extensive investigation of specific topoi undertaken in Spanish studies, this book will also be of interest to art historians and cultural historians whose focus is theology, the history of spirituality, or the history of the book.

Libro Literatura y política

In the past decades, with the decline of the Grand Narratives and the subsequent need for new historical and political orientation, literary studies have been reflecting on the role of literature in the world. Together with Jacques Rancière—and in dialogue with Althusser, Foucault, or Fischer-Lichte—the present volume analyzes this political turn of literary studies.

Patrick Modiano

Libro Patrick Modiano

En Modiano la figura del perro es a veces un explorador anímico en el deambular del protagonista por las calles de París, a veces un guía en la búsqueda fantasmagórica de personajes desaparecidos, en ocasiones un doble simbólico del narrador, cuando no del hermano muerto, e incluso de ambos, en un sujeto desdoblado que los aúna: el perro y yo / mi hermano y yo; de forma que la muerte del hermano y el temor a ser también él víctima del abandono familiar se expresan en su narrativa mediante el recuerdo encubridor de la muerte de un perro durante su infancia. La figura del perro se...

El círculo del exilio y la enajenación en la obra de Reinaldo Arenas

Libro El círculo del exilio y la enajenación en la obra de Reinaldo Arenas

This analysis shows that Reinaldo Arenas' work is one of exile and alienation. Arenas, as a human being as well as an author, suffered all forms of exile, and these influence the structure of his work. In his literary work, as well as in his life, all the definitions of exile given by sociology are present; that of inner exile, to which Arenas added a new characteristic, and that of territorial exile as well. His work represents the vision of the marginated, imprisoned, persecuted, rejected. The purpose of his novels and poetry is to reveal, from a historical reconstruction, the explanation...
