Članek s pomočjo Girardove teorije mimetične želje analizira osrednji odnos v romanu Vitomila Zupana Potovanje na konec pomladi, in sicer med profesorjem slovenščine in njegovim občudovanim dijakom ...Tajsijem. Tajsija bomo tako razumevali v okviru Girardovega koncepta modela želje, ki profesorju predstavlja orientir glede izbire lastnih objektov želje, obenem pa tudi želeno identiteto. Profesor se vedno bolj spreminja v Tajsija in pride do pojava obsedenosti, ko se zdi, da prek profesorja govori in deluje le še Tajsi. To predstavlja enega od aspektov subjektove transformacije v občudovani model. Pri tem bomo mimetično teorijo dopolnili z Žižkovim branjem Lacana ter ugotovili, da transformacija v drugega poteka tudi na simbolni ravni prevzemanja mesta drugega v strukturi odnosov. Transformacija v občudovani model pa naj bi v končni fazi subjektu prinesla spoznanje, da polno bitje brez manka ne obstaja.
Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar algunas tendencias acerca de la recepción de la literatura infantil que privilegian la formación moral y la comprensión de la multiculturalidad; a partir de ...la interpretación y contraste de las puestas teóricas acerca del papel de la literatura infantil en la formación de los niños. En esta reflexión se desarrollan algunos presupuestos conceptuales sobre las relaciones que se tejen entre literatura infantil, formación moral y cultura, como son: autonomía estética y provecho moral en la literatura infantil; inserción ideológica multicultural en los textos infantiles y posibilidades de la obra literaria como vehículo de transmisión y reivindicación ideológica en la sociedad. Desde estos ejes de análisis, el artículo concluye que la literatura infantil, en contraste con las funciones morales y culturales, contribuye a la construcción simbólica del sujeto que toma conciencia de su injerencia en el mundo.
This article describes a theory of how culture enables literary interpretations of texts. We begin with a brief overview of the reader response field. From there, we introduce the theory and provide ...illustrative participant data examples. These data examples illustrate the four cultural positions middle grade students in our research assumed when responding to salient textual features embedded in African American children’s novels. Our theory suggests that because a range of cultural positions factors into students’ meaning making, we should mine texts more carefully for cultural milieu as well as find acceptance with a broader range of literary interpretations. We conclude by discussing implications for literary researchers and practitioners who study or use multicultural children’s literature.
This study strives to bring to the attention the context of literary history findings concerning the troubadour song “Farai un vers de dreit nien” and his supposed author. The analysis discusses the ...scientific debate of the historical identification of the song’s author, its chronological placement and the song’s attribution among other author’s texts. It reexamines parts of the song proposing several considerations derived from the historical and literary context that might offer interesting perspectives for the interpretation of the song.
Članek obravnava koncept mistike narave v nemški romantiki in dokazuje, da so bile bralne prakse antične poezije, predvsem pa Homerja, pomemben dejavnik pri oblikovanju romantičnega razumevanja tako ...antike kot modernosti. To dokazuje z obravnavo bralnih in pisateljskih praks Johanna Wolfganga von Goetheja ter njegove vpetosti v širše miselne tokove nemške romantike. Pri tem osvetli tudi specifiko nemške romantike, ki je antiko razumela kot izraz naravnosti, modernost pa kot izgubo enotnosti z naravo.

This book uncovers popular games' key role in the cultural construction of modern racial fictions. It argues that gaming provides the lens, language, and logic - in short, the authority - behind ...racial boundary making, reinforcing and at times subverting beliefs about where people racially and spatially belong. It focuses specifically on the experience of Asian Americans and the longer history of ludo-Orientalism, wherein play, the creation of games, and the use of game theory shape how East-West relations are imagined and reinforce notions of foreignness and perceptions of racial difference.
Darwinian approaches to literature regard literature as a "biological adaptation." This article explores Brian Boyd's "evocriticism," his evocritical method interpreting literary texts, and Boyd's ...claims for a new, evolutionary literary theory. Evocriticism focuses on literature as a cognitive play with patterns and makes possible a direct connection between literature and play, from which Boyd then derives his "evolutionistic" functions of literature. A critical analysis of Boyd's evocriticism shows that it cannot be understood as a break with the non-reductionist notion of methodological pluralism, even though it contradicts certain theoretical assumptions; for example, the notion of the end of "grand narratives" or the "death of the author." Especially the analysis of the evocritical interpretative method shows that the theory of evolution can offer meaningful insights into the understanding of literature, its production, and its reception, but it cannot explain all aspects of literary texts. Therefore it also relies on the use of various theoretical methods, or methodological pluralism.
The notion of literature or poetry is based on the intuition that there is a qualitative difference between “literary” and other kinds of discourses. Only recently have philosophers of language and ...pragmaticists begun to acknowledge this qualitative difference.
Within the ostensive-inferential framework of Relevance Theory, I will characterize expressive discourse (in the sense of intuitively “poetic”, literary”, “creative”) as based on a recognizable informative intention that triggers a specific process of interpretation in which the recovery of the proposition expressed is not sufficiently relevant in and of itself, and non propositional cognitive effects are derived through (i) creative imagination (ii) appreciation of the shape of the text as a special kind of “object”: namely, a verbal ostensive artifact: as it is quite evident that formal and stylistic aspects such as alliteration, rhyme and hyperbaton do not affect propositional meaning, and that they are produced intentionally, they must have a cognitive function; and (iii) integrating private, idiosyncratic information in the context of interpretation.
The point of interpreting expressive discourse is not (or not only) to derive a representation that can be believed or rejected and/or embedded into other informative intentions: the cognitive effects we derive from creative discourse are different in kind. I will illustrate my point by presenting a number of examples, to show how stylistic analysis can interact with pragmatics in explaining the cognitive effects we derive from creative discourse interpretation.
In this paper, the author demonstrates how stylistic analysis can be used to investigate women representation in texts and offer a feminist counter-reading of an existing interpretive claim. The ...analysis in question is Prabhat K. Singh's interpretation of Indian Women by Shiv K Kumar. Singh argues the women in the poem serve as a "metaphor for feminine beauty, chastity, patience, love and trust." Stylistic analysis is used to demonstrate how a particular interpretation has been privileged and other interpretive possibilities downplayed, and provide an alternative reading sustained by a consideration of all aspects of the linguistic make-up of the text. The image resulting from the analysis is much less favorable than the one provided by Singh's interpretation. Kumar has indeed constructed Indian women as powerless, inactive and silenced, thereby reinforcing traditional gender roles in patriarchal cultures. Adapted from the source document
