Women Re-Creating Classics - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Women Re-Creating Classics - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In the last few years, there has been a major and unmissable surge in women’s retellings and re-creations of ancient myths and texts that has put women’s re-creations of Classics centre-stage. Drawing together an interdisciplinary range of creative and scholarly voices, this volume asks why classical creative retellings by women are so popular now—and considers what creativity can do to foster new ways of thinking and writing about Classics, thus blurring the boundary between the creative and the critical. Contributors engage with debates on how to make Classics more accessible through the medium of creative works, so that it is not just a discipline for the select few.This second volume in a two-volume set brings together original creative work by some of the many women writers who are pushing forward changes in the landscape of re-creating Classics, from Madeline Miller to Jennifer Saint, Emily Hauser, Caroline Lawrence, Roz Kaveney, Nikita Gill, Fiona Benson, Anne Carson and many more. These are set alongside discussions and interviews between writers and academics, roundtable conversations among poets and critics, and reflections on creative and inclusive pedagogy—thus offering a cutting-edge collaboration between practitioners and researchers, and underlining the centrality of women’s re-creations of Classics to the contemporary shaping of the field.

Finding Wisdom in East Asian Classics - - Bog - Columbia University Press - Plusbog.dk

Finding Wisdom in East Asian Classics - - Bog - Columbia University Press - Plusbog.dk

Finding Wisdom in East Asian Classics is an essential, all-access guide to the core texts of East Asian civilization and culture. Essays address frequently read, foundational texts in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese, as well as early modern fictional classics and nonfiction works of the seventeenth century. Building strong links between these writings and the critical traditions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, this volume shows the vital role of the classics in the shaping of Asian history and in the development of the humanities at large. Wm. Theodore de Bary focuses on texts that have survived for centuries, if not millennia, through avid questioning and contestation. Recognized as perennial reflections on life and society, these works represent diverse historical periods and cultures and include the Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Xunxi, the Lotus Sutra, Tang poetry, the Pillow Book, The Tale of Genji, and the writings of Chikamatsu and Kaibara Ekken. Contributors explain the core and most commonly understood aspects of these works and how they operate within their traditions. They trace their reach and reinvention throughout history and their ongoing relevance in modern life. With fresh interpretations of familiar readings, these essays inspire renewed appreciation and examination. In the case of some classics open to multiple interpretations, de Bary chooses two complementary essays from different contributors. Expanding on debates concerning the challenges of teaching classics in the twenty-first century, several pieces speak to the value of Asia in the core curriculum. Indispensable for early scholarship on Asia and the evolution of global civilization, Finding Wisdom in East Asian Classics helps one master the major texts of human thought.

Borges' Classics - Laura (university Of Bristol) Jansen - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Borges' Classics - Laura (university Of Bristol) Jansen - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In Borges'' Classics, Laura Jansen reads the oeuvre of the Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges as a radically globalized model for reimagining our relationship with the classical past. This major study reveals how Borges constructs a new ''physics of reading'' the classics, which privileges a paradoxical vision of the canon as universal yet centreless, and eschews fixed ideas about the cultural history of the West. Borges'' unique approach transforms classical antiquity into a simultaneously familiar and remote world, whose legacy is both urgent and unstable. In the process, Borges repositions the classical tradition at the intersection of the traditional Western canon and modernist literature of the peripheral West. Jansen''s study traces Borges'' encounters with the classics through appeal to themes central to Borges'' thought, such as history and fiction, memory and forgetfulness, the data of the senses, and the vectors that connect cultures and countries.

Remaking Red Classics in Post-Mao China - Qian Gong - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield International - Plusbog.dk

Remaking Red Classics in Post-Mao China - Qian Gong - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield International - Plusbog.dk

In the 1990s, China’s economic reform campaign reached a new high. Amid the eager adoption of capitalism, however, the spectre of revolution re-emerged. Red Classics, a historic-revolutionary themed genre created in the high Socialist era were widely taken up again in television drama adaptations. They have since remained a permanent feature of TV repertoire well into the 2010s. Remaking Red Classics looks at the how the revolutionary experience is represented and consumed in the reform era. It examines the adaptation of Red Classics as a result of the dynamic interplay between television stations, media censorship and social sentiment of the populace. How the story of revolution was reinvented to appeal and entertain a new generation provides important clues to the understanding of transformation of class, gender and locality in contemporary China.

Susan Sontag's Tangential Classics - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Susan Sontag's Tangential Classics - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Susan Sontag (1933-2004) once declared: "My idea of a writer: someone interested in ''everything''. Being interested in ''everything'' had come naturally to me." This statement was made thirty years after the publication of Against Interpretation in 1966, towards the end of a prolific career as an essayist, diarist, novelist, filmmaker, and activist. The Greco-Roman classics play an intriguing part in this narrative of insatiable thirst for knowledge. Susan Sontag''s Tangential Classics sets out to focus on this juncture in her work. Instead of offering an account of antiquity in Sontag, or of Sontag on antiquity, the collected chapters are specifically concerned with her as a case of a thinker in whom the classical tradition does not come into exclusive focus, but emerges tangentially--in often disparate and exiguous traces, connections, and references within a polymathic awareness. This volume examines Sontag''s work and life to probe new strategies of plotting antiquity, when its presence in modernity is alluring yet barely there, and when the connective thread of influence seems to exist at breaking point. Susan Sontag''s Tangential Classics directs our attention to a twentieth-century thinker who invites a markedly different perception of antiquity and its influence in her thought: at once captivating and light, provocative and uncertain.

Tony Harrison and the Classics - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Tony Harrison and the Classics - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Tony Harrison and the Classics comprises fifteen chapters examining the lasting importance of Tony Harrison''s classical education, the extent of the influence of Greek and Roman texts on his subjects, themes, and styles, his contribution to knowledge and understanding of classical literature, his popularization of classical works, and his innovative treatment of classical drama in plays which have been performed globally. Harrison''s work fosters debates about the role and perception of the classics and adaptations of classical literature in relation to education, ''high'' and ''popular'' culture, accessibility, and reception. A unifying theme of the collection is the way in which Harrison finds in classical literature fruitful matter for the articulation and dramatization of his longstanding preoccupations: language, class, access to art, and the causes and effects of war. Through his adaptations and translations, Harrison uses classical drama to stage interventions in modern politics, but neither idealizes nor romanticizes the ancient world, depicting inequality, bigotry, greed, and brutality.

Women Creating Classics - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Women Creating Classics - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

From Madeline Miller’s The Song of Achilles (2011) to Pat Barker’s The Voyage Home (2024), there has been a huge rise in women’s rewritings of ancient myths and texts in recent years. Women writers are looking back to the classical past more than ever before, and there is serious public interest in women’s reworkings of the ancient world. But at the same time, this is nothing new: women have been responding to the worlds of Greece and Rome for hundreds of years, across many different time periods, and multiple cultures and languages. This first volume in a two-volume set explores the different ways that women have retold and responded to Classics across the ages, as well as how these responses might resist or unpack the tensions inherent in notions of gender, race, canonicity, class and cultural heritage—in a context in which classical education and scholarship have been confined to the ivory tower, studied by men in pursuit of an understanding of the ‘great men’ of history. Looking at extraordinary women writers across thousands of years, from Sappho, Marguerite de Navarre, Lucrezia Marinella and Renée Vivien to Tayari Jones, Roz Kaveney, Zadie Smith and Anne Carson, from ancient Greece to the Venezuelan diaspora, this volume demonstrates the urgency and the centrality of women''s creations in the world of Classics.
