Alterite radicale/alterite radicalisee

Author(s): Mihaela Chapelan / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2014

The practical, social relevance of the theme of otherness in the contemporary world is doubled by an all-encompassing theoretical reflection, which tends to prove that otheress has transcended the stage of concept, virtually developing into a meta-category. Our article will tackle the diffficulty of conceiving a rigorous classification of the diverse representations of alterity and will linger on the distinction operated by historian Lucian Boia between ordinary alterity and radical alterity. By analyzing a few contemporary literary representations, we will try to highlight the fact that a taxonomy, once firmly established, is used by researchers as much in the purpose of classification than for de-classification. Through the analysis of the novels Red Brezil by J.C. Rufin, we intend to prove that a whole series of figures of alterity belonging initially to a determined category can slip towards other categories.

Identity issues in ELIF SHAFAK'S The Bastard of Istanbul

Author(s): Iulia Waniek / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2014

Globalization, which brought about migrations, immigration displacement of various groups of population, resulting in children being raised bilingually in different cultural environments, has also engendered an exacerbation of nationalism and identity conflicts that may not have been anticipated. However, identity isssues may occcur not only at the clash of different ethnic and religious forces, but also when individuals are faced with their past, as an analysis of Elif Shafak's bestselling novel, The Bastard of Istanbul. We will try to show how the conflictual search for identity of the youngest off-springs of a complex Armenian and Turkish family, Armanoush and Asya, is resolved as they discover the truth about their family history.

O perspectivă cognitivă asupra studiilor literare (II)

Author(s): Gabriela Tucan / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 51-52/2013

The working assumption of this paper considers whether an engagement with cognitive sciences can change the ways we do and read literary studies. For both pragmatic and theoretical reasons, the new science of cognitive poetics sets out to show that literary studies have much to gain from the intersection of various cognitive disciples. On the other hand, the immediate implications of such an intellectual endeavour can be mutually profitable for both literary studies and cognitive research itself. Cognitively-informed literary theories look into our cultural artefacts for marks of commonly shared cognitive patterns and human commonalities. However, the foundations of such an approach to literature lie directly in cognitive linguistics; hence, a large part of this study is dedicated to the presentation of a series of concepts and operations shared by cognitive linguistics. What cognitive linguists propose, in essence, is an analysis of the human ability to understand and create meanings. The body of research in cognitive linguistics outlined here, though highly selective, proves its substantial results and applications in other neighbouring areas concerned with the nature of language as a product of our general cognitive abilities.

Du mythe à la critique sociale dans Les Sosies de Jean de Rotrou

Author(s): Diana-Adriana Lefter / Language(s): French Issue: 07/2010

Notre travail propose une analyse de la présence et de l’exploitation du mythe dans la comédie Les Sosies de Jean de Rotrou. Considéré le quatrième grand classique français, Rotrou trouve sa source d’inspiration dans l’Amphitryon de Plaute et propose une exploitation peu novatrice de la matière mythique de la pièce sus-mentionnée; pourtant, la pièce de Rotrou a le grand mérite de mobiliser le savoir mythologique du récepteur, aspect qui la fait souvent difficilement décodable par le lecteur/spectateur moderne. Classique par le modèle textuel abordé – prologue suivi de cinq actes – et dans la manière aristotélicienne de classification des personnages mythologiques – dieux, héros, humains – cette “pièce de cour” de Rotrou touche, même si timidement, le problème de la critique sociale, notamment la rivalité de classe qui commence à se faire sentir dans la société française du XVIIe siècle, se montrant par cela une anticipation de la plus critique Amphitryon de Molière.

"... minden kurva szűzen kezdi..." -- Szabó Palócz Attila interjúja

Author(s): Attila Szabó Palócz,István Koncz / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 30-31/2000

I asked István Koncz to try to draw a picture of the era and give a diagnosis of the difficult, problematic moments of the Symposion’s history, of those circumstances that led to the suppression of particular issues of the journal in the seventies, and to the dismissal of the whole editorial staff in 1983. And I also asked him to analyse the events, the processes, what kind of logical system they followed in their structure and what kind of logical system they had in their succession. Now, years later I have to, perhaps, notice that, from the journalist’s and reporter’s point of view, I was not up to the job eleven years ago, and all this was not necessary then and the questions would not be needed today, either. They are interesting only to show the course of the dialogue.
