De nova Philostrati editione a Rudolpho Stefec parata disputatiuncula

2021

The contribution is a study on the tradition and text of Philostratus’ Vitae Sophistarum based on the recent edition of Stefec. This edition profits from the advancements of the last two centuries both in the field of textual criticism and in that of palaeography, since until now the reference text had been the one established by Kayser in his three editions (1838; 1844; 1870-71), which however had been conducted with pre-Lachmannian criteria. In the first part of the contribution we retrace the process that led the publisher to reconstruct the relationships between the manuscripts and to reconfigure the codices into two families, instead of three: the publisher shows that those that accord…

Are Distinctions Between Genres Still Relevant?

1998

Why do readers — and especially literary critics — feel the need to classify works of art into categories which one often calls genres? On the one hand fashionable ideas lead some commentators to argue that, in this infinitely innovative world, genres have become irrelevant because traditional rules have been subverted. The ineffable text (sacralized in italics) is all that counts. Yet, on the other, their description of works of literature inevitably resorts to such terms as ‘fantasy’, ‘allegory’, ‘realism’, ‘tragedy’, even if they carefully place these in inverted commas. As the ‘reception’ school of criticism has convincingly shown, a novel, poem or play takes on its full meaning when it…

En la siguiente entrevista, Antonio Méndez Rubio reflexiona sobre los hitos de su pensamiento literario, teórico y cultural. En diálogo con Raúl Molina Gil, aborda cuestiones como la relación entre poética y Teoría, la necesidad de que la crítica permita atravesar lo aparente para dar cuenta de lo ocultado, la voluntad de establecer una mirada necesariamente anti-fascista o las diferencias entre España y Latinoamérica en lo referente a la lectura y aplicación de la Teoría. Todo ello, a partir de los términos e ideas más relevantes que ha planteado a lo largo de sus ensayos como, por ejemplo, el fascismo de baja intensidad.

Introduction: What Is Intercultural Dialogue and Why It Is Needed in Europe Today?

2020

The authors introduce the concept of intercultural dialogue and how it has been utilized as a policy by the Council of Europe and the European Union since the early 2000s. First, we explore intercultural dialogue’s relation to and differences from other concepts commonly used to describe different stances in the governance of diversity, ranging from assimilation to integration and from multiculturalism to interculturalism. These different conceptual stances are contextualized by exploring the recent transformations in Europe and their impact on the political aims, goals, and discourses of the Council of Europe and the European Union. Second, we review the previous research on the concept of…

“She Isn’t Going to Give Up”: Women’s Resilience in Monica Ali’s Brick Lane – A Feminist Reading

2019

Abstract While Monica Ali’s novel Brick Lane is most often analyzed from the vantage points of postcolonialism as a text dealing primarily with the plight of the Bangladeshi immigrant community in London, it is difficult, if not downright impossible, to overlook the crucial role women and feminine resilience (in the face of not only patriarchy, but also racism, religion and social unrest) play in the novel. In actual fact, the story can much easier be read as the plight of women in their quest for self-determination and identity than as a novel about cultural clashes in the multicultural metropolis. The present essay sets out to prove that feminism is actually at the forefront of Ali’s nove…

Action research as narrative: five principles for validation

2007

Along with the narrative turn in social sciences, the quality of research has become a more and more intricate issue. Action research reports are often narratives, located in the context of the evolving experiences of those involved. In this paper, the problem of quality in action research narratives is addressed, and some principles for assessing the quality of narrative research reports are proposed. The issue is explored both at a theoretical‐conceptual level and through a number of practical cases from the narrative‐biographical research project TeacherLife. As narrative researchers, the authors are not willing to accept an extremely relativistic stand. They argue the need for conceptua…
