Illustrated by the award-winning creative artist John Raymond Bumanglag and told by the celebrated writer Timothy James Dimacali.
Taking as its starting point Heidegger’s discussion in Being and Time (1927) of the Latin poet Hygenius’s fable about the formation of humankind by Cura, “Care,” this article opens the philosopher’s ...concept of care to a dialogue with literature. If Hygenius’s fable is, in Heidegger’s terms, a “pre-ontological testimony” to Dasein’s groundedness in care, Kafka’s story “The Cares of a Family Man” (1919) and Blanchot’s novel The Most High (1948) may be called “post-ontological testimonies” of care. Both texts thematize the slipping away of the temporal horizon of care, envisioning a world in which Dasein no longer takes center stage. Through an analysis of the Heideggerian grammar of care and its resonances in Kafka and Blanchot, this article offers a new appraisal of an influential concept in twentieth-century European philosophy and literature.
In this study, based on observations of our own pedagogical work, we consider different didactic approaches to the same literary text (the short story ‘From Prague to Brno’ by Jiří Kratochvil) in the ...teaching of Czech as a foreign language and in the teaching of literature, including analysis of literary texts. The starting point is a comparison of the learning objectives in both of these contexts, followed by a presentation of specific tasks and lines of inquiry vis-à-vis the text, their justification, and analysis of student reactions. In conclusion, we emphasize those aspects that should be considered in the teaching of literary and prose texts, not only by foreign language teachers but also (in our view) teachers of literature and literary interpretation.
This research aimed to improve the skill in writing a short story through paraphrasing technique of popular song using audio-visual media. This study used Classroom Action Research containing of two ...cycles. Each cycle consisted of three stages, namely planning, implementing, and assessing. The data collection instrument was the scoring rubric of writing skill and test items. The data were analyzed using comparative descriptive analysis by comparing the result of the initial condition, the first cycle, and the second cycle. The results revealed that paraphrasing technique could: 1) improve the skill in writing short story in which the improvement percentage of the writing skill is 70% for pre-cycle, 76% for the first cycle, and 80% for the second cycle; 2) improve the percentage of the number of the students passing the minimum score as many as 52% for the pre-cycle, 74% for the first cycle, and 87% for the second cycle.
Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar las directrices de la composición literaria de cuentos adoptadas por Adolfo Bioy Casares. Para eso, se evalúan los tránsitos del escritor por los proyectos ...estéticos de Edgar Allan Poe y Antón Chéjov, que, desde las perspectivas de Charles Kiefer y Ricardo Piglia, consisten en referencias nucleares para la escritura del cuento a partir del siglo XIX. A partir del examen de los movimientos emprendidos por Bioy Casares entre las premisas adoptadas por Poe y Chéjov, se sustenta que el argentino acaba por delinear lo que se denomina como una poética portulana del cuento.
Modernism is one of the most significant and informative books written in the field of literary theory and criticism. It is an easy-access, wide-ranging and efficient book that tries to explore ...different aspects of Modernism and its neighboring concepts. Despite its limited space, it has fully rendered the humongous burden of Modernism and demonstrating its various aspects. The book comprises an introduction and three main chapters. It starts off with a set of definitions for Romance, Realism, Modernism, and Postmodernism. Childs endeavors to approach the discussion in a comparative light, particularly the comparison between Modernism and Postmodernism in the introduction. The book is more concerned with the close analysis of movements in contexts and literary works rather than entangling with pure abstract definitions. The discussion about Modernism is accompanied by adjacent movements such as Postmodernism and Realism and marginalized points are included as well. Instead of coming up with rock-solid definitions, Childs seeks to look for traces of each movement in the other and how these terms are overlapped and intertwined.
This dialogic roundtable discussion elaborates the possibilities opened up by the use of social reproduction theory in intersection with world-literary, materialist feminist, queer Marxist and ...world-systems approaches to literature and culture. In particular, contributors consider how the analysis of social reproduction might illuminate the politics of everyday life, the representational challenges accompanying the banality or ubiquity of women's work, the potential gaps of social reproduction feminism, and the aesthetic challenges accompanying or following from an interest in social reproduction. Topics covered include digital media as foundational operating mode of Hindu nationalism, the sexuality- and race-based exclusions of employment in higher education, Philippine literature as ‘reproductive fiction’, the Latin American novel vis-à-vis its registration of domestic service, the short story as bellwether for global issues surrounding women’s labour, and questions of complicity in the kinds of labour some women and sexual minorities enact for larger authoritarian, patriarchal projects. If women do much of the work of producing the everyday then we must also ask how women might re-make the everyday along more radical, and radically egalitarian lines.
En este artículo se analizan las variantes de tres cuentos del escritor Vicente Riva Palacio (1832-1896), desde la terminología de Giorgio Pasquali de “filología de autor”, con el objetivo de ...dilucidar su naturaleza y el sentido de sus modificaciones textuales, las cuales, muchas veces, responden a dinámicas específicas de publicación y reimpresión de la tradición literaria mexicana del siglo XIX. Para emprender este asunto, dividí las variantes en dos categorías: variantes ideológicas y variantes literarias. A la par de este estudio, también realicé un ejercicio filológico de construcción de stemma codicum, en el que se adaptó la metodología de la crítica textual para que pudiera mostrar con mejor eficacia la familia genealógica de los relatos estudiados. La propuesta del artículo está apoyada en la idea de que la edición crítica es otro camino de interpretación de la creación literaria, debido a que puede brindar nuevas rutas hermenéuticas de la obra sin salir de sus límites textuales y del soporte material de sus versiones editoriales.
