The Classical Tradition in Portuguese and Brazilian Poetry
This book includes 21 chapters dedicated to the study of contemporary, Portuguese and Brazilian poets influenced by the Greco-Roman tradition. It integrates the international bibliography on reception studies in an Ibero-American context. However, the comparison between poets from the two countries highlights the cultural community that, despite the differences, unites them. Travels, routes, and adventures, taken in a linear or symbolic sense, are the common trace of all contributions. The variety of tastes, the greater or smaller closeness to the ancient models, and the authors’ preferences contribute to an overall view of the classical imprint on contemporary poetry as a specific area of literature.
A Special Model of Classical Reception
The contributions to this volume cover a large diachronic, geographical, and cultural space. Some of the texts go back to antiquity, using the Odyssey as the most significant source for several reflections, both ancient and contemporary, and therefore the safest link between old and contemporary versions. In addition, in the modern and contemporary summaries and tales analysed here, predominance is given to epics (Homer and other famous stories known from the epic cycle) as a source, exemplified by texts belonging to various literary works from across the globe, focused on the influence that major political phenomena can have on universal creativity.
Digital Flux, Linguistic Justice and Minoritized Languages
The concept of linguistic justice, as applied to minoritized languages, sheds light upon the way in which minoritized communities conduct their lives in less than optimal environments. Precisely for that reason, the theoretical framework for the study of minoritized languages has been constructed from different areas of knowledge, creating a situation in which "language" is just one of the elements. This collection of essays proposes to recover the centrality of bilingualism, biculturalism and bidialectalism in the understanding of the different social, cultural and political processes of historical and contemporary language justice. It provides relevant theoretical and practical frameworks on the latest studies in linguistic justice as applied to minoritized languages and linguistic varieties such as Korean in Los Angeles, USA, Arabic in Spain, or Náhuat in Central America. Analyzing the acquisition, maintenance and attrition of these languages both in digital and physical environments, the volume contributes to expanding our knowledge of the sociolinguistic, educational, political and social realities that occur in minoritized languages.
Reception Studies
The texts, images and events of the ancient world have been used both as sources of authority and exploitation in politics, culture and society and as icons of resistance and contest. How classical culture is transplanted into new contexts, how texts are translated and performed and how Greek and Roman values are perceived and used continues to be a force in current debates. The main concepts and explanatory frameworks used in the field are introduced through chapters on reception within antiquity and case studies of more recent receptions from Africa, the Caribbean, Europe and the USA. The book will be of use to all those interested in the relationship between the arts, culture and society as well as to students and teachers of classical subjects and of literature, drama, film and comparative cultural studies.
Francisco Dias Gomes
A obra inclui um estudo introdutório sobre a receção de temas do teatro clássico na produção dos membros da Arcádia Lusitana, em geral, para situar a produção de Francisco Dias Gomes. Segue-se-lhe a edição de duas tragédias Ifigénia e Electra, em ambos os casos acompanhada de um amplo estudo introdutório, cujo objetivo central e o de identificar a relação entre as produções oitocentistas e os seus modelos da Antiguidade grega.
Clásicos en escena ayer y hoy
Esta reflexão sobre dois conceitos, baseada em abordagens literárias e filosóficas, produziu um corpus de textos, capaz de retomar, com uma focagem multidisciplinar, a famosa antítese que animou amplas discussões desde a Antiguidade, com origem na Atenas clássica, uma época de luzes que havia de marcar todo o pensamento ocidental ao longo de milénios. Por isso, ainda que assumindo como ponto de partida os argumentos em que assentou, no passado, a discussão dos dois conceitos – nómos versus phýsis –, o espaço de reflexão se tenha aberto ao estudo da sua transmissão e recepção, reconhecendo a essa polémica uma indispensável diacronia.
Reframing Translators, Translators as Reframers
This collection explores the notion of reframing as a framework for better understanding the multi-agent and multi-level nature of the translation process, generating new conversations in current debates on translational agency, authority, and power. The volume puts forward reframing as an alternative metaphor to traditional conceptualizations and descriptions of translation, which often position the process in such terms as transformation, reproduction, transposition, and transfer. Chapters in the book reflect on the translator figure as a central agent in actively moving a translated text to a new context, and the translation process as shaped by different forces and subjectivities when tr...
