Este artículo aborda algunas consideraciones en torno al diseño teórico de una sociología de la literatura. Se centra en dos grandes dimensiones: una epistemológica y una institucional. En los dos ...primeros apartados, se evalúan ambas desde un panorama general de las ciencias sociales y las humanidades. Luego, se efectúan consideraciones más precisas sobre las dos dimensiones, en sus implicaciones concretas para un proyecto sobre sociología de la literatura que problematice de manera genuina su punto de partida teórico. Una de las principales observaciones consiste en el reconocimiento de la debilidad institucional y la dispersión conceptual de la subdisciplina.
Written on the sidelines of a new translation of Sodom and Gomorrah into Polish, the article evokes the problem that the translator had in finding the equivalent of the term inverti. This problem ...serves as a pretext to speak, on the one hand, of homosexuality in Proust, on the other, of language as the subject of the novel. In this context, the role of Albertine and the etymological tirades of professor Brichot are studied in particular. The author also highlights the testamentary character of this part of the Proustian cycle.
The Russian Empire has been a nation of many social classes since day one. Despite its ancient past, its people have faced many problems in terms of the living conditions and wars abroad. ...Peasants/land slaves make up the majority of its demagogic structure, and pose the biggest issue – one so important that This issue, it was widely handled and criticized by 19th century Russian writers. Moreover, the abolition of land slavery in 1861 still did not resolve it either. Moreover, reforms made to the tsarist manifesto did not improve people’s lives. According to one source, slaves in the village have the right to buy land. However, in reality the conditions offered were heavy and the prices high, thus forcing many to migrate to major cities for work, and in turn shifting slavery from the village to the city, where the same vicious cycle continued. Tolstoy penned a novella in 1863 on the developments of that era. His keen observation skills enabled him to accurately portray and reveal what villagers in cities were up against in the period, their living conditions, lack of education, and consequently the moral corruption in Russian society. In this study, we shall examine L. N. Tolstoy’s book in depth structurally and thematically. Markedly, he very much defended their (i.e. peasants) rights and freedoms for most of his life.
In our media-saturated society popular culture assumes a quasi-religious function, offering mythic narratives and associated mediated rituals that provide audiences with equipment for living. The ...United States has developed its own distinctive mythos, termed the American monomyth, which celebrates the restoration and perpetuation of social order through heroic means. This optimistic mythic narrative formula shapes storylines within a wide range of genres, such as film noir, sci-fi, and Westerns. In this study, the authors note the surging popularity of a distinctively different mythic formula: post-apocalyptic narratives. It is argued that these darkly pessimistic narratives give ritual expression to the rage, regret, and resignation prompted by a perceived or real irreparable rupture of the social order. The authors offer illustrative examples of post-apocalyptic storylines in books, films, televisions, and other media; identify some of the contemporary socio-cultural concerns addressed by these stories; and suggest that post-apocalyptic narratives pose a potential challenge to the perennial dominance of the traditional American monomyth by joining – although not displacing or replacing – it as a fixture American popular culture.
Reading is a highly frequented practice in the literary cenacles. However, at “Viața românească” group the out loud reading seems to be an incidental phenomenon which doesn’t mean it is absent from ...the life of the community. Although the writers of the circle prefer the individual and intimate readings to the collective ones, the act of reading is present through a shared affection, and a shared imaginary. When enjoying a particular reading, the participants at the cenacle exhibit their opinions towards the literary text through emotions, acting as an affected community. Also, the reading is invested as a social competence due to the collective imaginary they share together: the writers of “Viața românească” behave in a similar manner, because they read the same books, and their lives are shaped by the same literature.The manner of reading at “Viața românească” cenacle is influenced by Ibrăileanuʼs thinking that depicts a relationship between reading and intimacy. In this respect, the article analyses one of the critic’s studies on the matter, The Misery of Literary Criticism, in which he dissociates between literary criticism, seen as a specialized and sterile manner of understanding literature, and reading, described as pleasure experienced with the book. The writers of “Viața românească” cenacle behave as readers who invest their emotions in the reception of literature, choosing for their reading moments only texts from their favourite writers. Another aspect of Ibrăileanuʼs thinking analysed here is the similarity between reading and femininity, explained as common secrecy. This idea has significant consequences on the perception of the women writers at “Viața românească” who are seen as mysterious beings, present only with their names or literary works, and never as physical occurrence.
Each narrative, which is in the collective memory of a society and is worth remembering and conveying, has many social functions. Apart from being just a story of something, narratives also have ...psychological effects on individuals. These effects are detected by subtext readings. The story which Basat killed Tepegöz is also outside the boundaries of heroic narratives because there are no traditional enemy-hero struggles. The narrative, which looks like the struggle of Tepegöz and Basat, is actually the story of Konur Koca Sarı Çoban’s struggle. The story tells the construction of the personality of Konur Koca Sarı Çoban through Metin, Basat and Tepegöz. Personality is shaped by the development of the unconscious. Çoban is the consciousness. Tepegöz and Basat are also the unconsciousness of Çoban. By raping the fairy, Çoban breaks away from all norms and reaches the limit of individuality. After this incident, Çoban runs away in fear and he is not seen in the text again. Through Basat and Tepegöz, the unconscious struggle of Çoban begins. A personality creation struggle is waged through Tepegöz, which represents the destructiveness of the unconscious, and Basat, which represents the constructiveness of the unconscious. The study is based on Carl Gustav Jung’s “Ideal Personality Development” approach within the framework of psychoanalytic theory.
The article develops the hypothesis set forth by Boris Egorov, a famous researcher of the work of Dostoevsky and Ap. Grigoriev, which claims that “some of the remarks and character traits of Mitya ...Karamazov are reminiscent of Grigoriev’s,” and also considers the assumption made by Vladimir Tunimanov about “closeness, partially turning into congeniality” of the “artistic natures of the two principal writers of the soil.” The presence in the work of Dostoevsky of other echoes or “shadows” of Grigoriev’s personality, both serious and caricature, is also discussed. Particular attention is paid to the nature of the problematization and even refutation of “pochvennichestvo” in Dostoevsky’s late works. Thus, in “The Brothers Karamazov,” “pochvennichestvo” is more likely to be refuted, both in the image of Dmitry Karamazov and in the whole structure of the novel. The socio-political illusions regarding if not the Russian people, then at least the Russian peasantry, have already been ultimately exposed, not by Dostoevsky, but by his closest “secret student” and at the same time, as is typical for such cases, by the debunker Chekhov (and subsequently by Bunin). Dostoevsky maintained a closeness to Grigoriev until the end of his life in his commitment to the ideal of “living life,” which resounds both in the fiery declarations of the “ridiculous man,” and in the wise precepts of the elder Zosima, as well as loyalty to the “people’s truth” discovered by Grigoriev in the works of Pushkin.

Psychoanalysis, which is built on a series of psychological theories and methods, aims to understand and eliminate mental problems in the dark spaces of the unconscious getting to the root of them. ...Sexual fantasies during childhood and events forgotten through repression in this period are seen as sources that feed this dark place. Psychoanalysis tries to understand this dark, unknown area through the concept of "uncanny". The emotions that the characters repressed during their childhood in the novels The Last Voice They Hear, Silent Children and The Face That Must Die written in an uncanny atmosphere by the modern English horror writer Ramsey Campbell form the basis for the concept of “uncanny”. The source of the uncanny that characters experience is the undesired things of the past reaching the present with qualities unfamiliar as a result of the suppression. An unfinished, incomplete childhood comes to light in an adult body. What comes out with the return of the repressed deviates from what is familiar, and assumes a familiar but a strange form. The characters experience uncanny during the round trips between the two extremes. The dilemma that arises between the familiar and unfamiliar symbolizes their conflict with their own selves and their struggle between good and evil. The study will analyse Ramsey Campbell's aforementioned novels in the context of "uncanny".
The Egyptian Sufi poet Mohammad ibn Sa‘îd al-Bûsîrî’s (d. 695/1296) work called Qasîdah al-Hamziyah, in which he tells the life of the Prophet, has attracted great attention in Muslim societies. The ...eulogy, which is met with interest by scholars dealing with the field of poetry and literature, is a text read in daily life in mawlid, ceremonies praising the Prophet, dhikr rings in sufi lodges, hadith lesson circles, and prayers. More than a hundred commentaries, annotations, tahmis, tastir and translations have been written on the work. While many of these studies on Qasîdah al-Hamziyah have been conducted by renowned scholars, there are also scholars who have worked on the eulogy but are not mentioned in biographical sources. The subject of this study is one of the commentaries written about the eulogy and whose name is not found in the biographical sources. The name of the work written by Abdullah al-Shazelî al-Bahrî is Al-Cavâhir al-Seniyye fî Sharh al-Hamziyah.
