Myth and Subversion in the Contemporary Novel
This bilingual work identifies and explains the subversive rewriting of ancient, medieval and modern myths in contemporary novels. The book opens with two theoretical essays on the subject of subversive tendencies and myth reinvention in the contemporary novel. From there, it moves on to the analysis of essential texts. Firstly, classical myths in works by authors such as André Gide, Thomas Pynchon, Julio Cortázar, Italo Calvino or Christa Wolf (for instance, Theseus, Oedipus or Medea) are discussed. Then, myths of biblical origin – such as the Flood or the Golem – are revisited in the work of Giorgio Bassani, Julian Barnes and Cynthia Ozick. A further section is concerned with the pla...
Ecos de la memoria
En este volumen, dentro de la extensísima producción autobiográfica y memorialística escrita por mujeres, se ha querido acotar el terreno prestando atención sobre todo a las obras de tipo testimonial, cargadas de compromiso ético y político, pero sin excluir otras facetas del género autobiográfico como la autoficción en sus distintos grados.
The Theatre of Rafael Alberti
Published by Boydell & Brewer Inc.
Stereophonie der Autobiographie
León und Alberti waren aktive Gegner der von Franco errichteten Diktatur. Im Kontext ihrer spezifischen Erfahrung, im Exil zu leben und zu schreiben, wurden die Autobiographien La arboleda perdida (Rafael Alberti) und Memoria de la melancolía (María Teresa León) zu einem wichtigen Medium der Aushandlung eines Lebens und Schreibens zwischen den Welten. Durch das Netz intertextueller und interpersoneller Bezüge, das zwischen den Autobiographien entwickelt wurde, wird dabei der/die Andere in den eigenen Text mit aufgenommen und eingeladen, im Schreiben auf das literarisierte Leben des/der anderen einzuwirken, es weiter zu schreiben oder zu ergänzen. Erfahrungen wie die Alzheimererkrankung...

Handbook of Autobiography / Autofiction
Autobiographical writings have been a major cultural genre from antiquity to the present time. General questions of the literary as, e.g., the relation between literature and reality, truth and fiction, the dependency of author, narrator, and figure, or issues of individual and cultural styles etc., can be studied preeminently in the autobiographical genre. Yet, the tradition of life-writing has, in the course of literary history, developed manifold types and forms. Especially in the globalized age, where the media and other technological / cultural factors contribute to a rapid transformation of lifestyles, autobiographical writing has maintained, even enhanced, its popularity and importanc...
The Workings of Memory
The study examines the ways in which these writers portray their positioning in relation to dominant cultural models of the time and their engagement with political and social issues in a period of changing gender dynamics and political instability. In broader terms, this book examines the complex relationships between memory, writing, and identity, and thus contributes to the growing field of explorations of the workings of memory in narrative."--BOOK JACKET.
