This is the first comprehensive study of the relationship between Retranslation and Reception. New translations always reveal a changing interest in authors and their work, and this book explores this phenomenon through a wide variety of case studies of literary reception.
A Grammar of Akajeru describes aspects of the grammatical system and lexicon of Akajeru, a traditional dialect of the North Andamanese language, as it was reportedly used around the beginning of the twentieth century. It is based primarily on the fragments of this variety provided by the British anthropologist Alfred R. Radcliffe-Brown and scattered among the published results of his anthropological research carried out on the islands between 1906 and 1908. These are supplemented by published lists of 46 anatomical terms and 28 toponyms collected by Edward Horace Man, Officer in Charge of the Andamanese 1875–79. The book provides a linguistic analysis of all the extant Akajeru material, pl...
Andalucia is the quintessence of Spain and yet, historically and culturally, it is surprisingly unlike the rest of the country. Its literary history began to develop with the Romans and reached an early flowering when Arabic poets drew on centuries of literary tradition, together with the landscapes and passions of Moorish Spain. Later, Prosper Mérimée, Byron and Washington Irving forged legends of exotic southern Spain that persist to this day and Spanish writers themselves captured the rich tapestry of Andalucian culture, from Cervantes' Seville to the Córdoba of Baroque poet Luis de Góngora and Lorca's 'hidden Andalucia'. With the advent of the Civil War, a new generation flocked to Andalucia and were inspired to write some of the twentieth century's most iconic works of literature, from Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls to Gerald Brenan's The Spanish Labyrinth and Laurie Lee's trilogy of books. As vibrant and compelling as the region itself, Andalucia: A Literary Guide for Travellers illuminates the very soul of Spain.
La sombra de Valle-Inclán se proyecta con inesperado fulgor sobre la escena española de los siglos XX y XXI. Y no solo porque, tras él, resultara difícil volver a hacer girar la rueda de Tespis y poner de nuevo en marcha la rodante caravana del teatro. También porque, después de Valle, todo dramaturgo ha tenido que tomar postura frente a su renovación. Don Ramón del Valle-Inclán (1866-1936) aspiró a que su dramaturgia, como la primitiva tragedia griega, fuera una síntesis de contrarios. Y hemos de concederle que logró su propósito, pues en muy pocas ocasiones se ha logrado por medio del lenguaje una alquimia tan eficaz de la elegía y la sátira, de la farsa y la tragedia, del naturalismo y la estilización. Esta primera entrega del teatro valleinclanesco –Farsas y esperpentos– ha sido pensada y diseñada para los profesionales de las artes escénicas, con el fin de que pueda ser útil, especialmente, para estudiantes de arte dramático, actores y directores que se acerquen a la obra de nuestro autor. Es una edición crítica anotada desarrollada por el Instituto del Teatro de Madrid (ITEM), al cual pertenecen sus tres responsables.
El término Dramaturgia tiene ya carta de naturaleza en los estudios y en la práctica teatral contemporánea. Aunque a menudo se utiliza como sinónimo de adaptación de un texto para la representación, su sentido es más amplio, y engloba toda la serie de decisiones y trabajos previos a la puesta en escena. A esta práctica responde en gran medida este Manual. Sin embargo, la tradición europea ha tendido siempre a primar el texto como la base de todo arte dramático, lo que ha generado una riquísima literatura crítica acerca de cómo se escriben las obras teatrales, cuáles son los criterios por los que una obra se puede considerar digna de estimación, cuáles son sus elementos fundam...
