Abstract:

Khiḍr is neither well-known or well-theorized, despite the fact that he frequently appears in Muslim literature and that several Muslim civilizations have adopted his tale as their own. Building upon the extensive research and comprehensive analysis of the mysterious prophet Khiḍr by Patrick Franke and Talat Halman, Prophet al-Khiḍr: Between the Qur’anic Text and Islamic Contexts by Irfan A. Omar adds to a growing correction to this. By examining Khiḍr through a “wider frame of understanding” in Prophet al-Khiḍr, Omar hopes to demonstrate the important intersectional connections between the Kh

Abstract:

Prominent examples of major Qur'anic characters in modern world literature include Joseph (and Zulaykha) -like characters in the 1984 Arabic novel, al-Rahīna (The Hostage) by the Yemeni writer Zayd Muṭīʿ Dammāj (d. 2000) and the fictionalised portrayal of the women around the Prophet Muḥammad in Algerian filmmaker and novelist Assia Djebar's 1991 French novel, Loin de Médine (Far from Medina). In this article I focus, rather, on a ‘minor’ Qur'anic character, al-Khiḍr (cf. Q. 18:65–82). I begin by looking briefly at the evolution of al-Khiḍr in Islamic literatures generally and then focus on hi

Abstract:

The legendary Gurkhas have inspired a considerable literature about their character, quality and exploits under British command. Some years ago, after I returned from fieldwork in an area of east Nepal inhabited by the Limbu people, many of whom had served in Gurkha regiments, I began to read some of this literature for background purposes. It struck me then, although not nearly so forcibly as it did later when I had read Edward Said (1978), and returned to the Gurkha material after a long absence, that these writings have a very distinctive character, constituting a particular mode of ‘orient

Abstract:

In reality, complexities of human life is always a mysterious dimension to us. However, they can’t be well explained by conventional rationalist mind. Human existence is based on the legendary virtual real criteria which was brought into literature by writers. In our opinion, the fact that writers built characters of myths has made two goals reflected in novels. The first is to open up the capacity of acquiring knowledge about mysteries in humans. The second is the desire to integrate into a simple life.

We compared the social character networks of biographical, legendary and fictional texts in search for marks of genre differentiation. We examined the degree distribution of character appearance and found a power-law-like distribution that does not depend on the literary genre. We also analyzed local and global complex network measures, in particular, correlation plots between the recently introduced Lobby index and degree, betweenness and closeness centralities. Assortativity plots, which previous literature claims to separate fictional from real social networks, were also studied. We found n

Abstract:

Jean-Gaspard Deburau was the nineteenth-century mime artist who created a new model for subsequent performers to either imitate or reject, but hardly to ignore. Silent cinema benefited from the nineteenth-century vogue for the mime in general – and the Pierrot character that he did so much to popularize in particular. The most famous mime of the twentieth century, Marcel Marceau, derived his character ‘Bip’ in part from Deburau's Pierrot. And while two of the most influential French mime artists of the twentieth century, Jean-Louis Barrault and Étienne Decroux, sought a radical departure from

At the age of 14, he joined the army, tasted the warmth of human feelings in the army, and finally promoted to the scholar’s document with his own efforts. However, his yearning for freedom made him finally give up his well-paid stable work and go to Beijing alone with his dream to seek another form of independence.

There are two works of contemporary Lithuanian literature that effectively explore the theme of the demonic: Herkus Kunčius’s novella A Most Loyal Metaphysical Friend (Ištikimiausias metafizinis draugas, 2010) and the play The Mistr (Mistras, 2010), by Marius Ivaškevičius. The author of this article examines how these two works modify the traditional literary concept of the demonic – both works present the demonic not in classical, transcendental terms but as an immanent force. Considering the works from the perspective of literary theology, the author asks whether, and which kind of, theologi

In consequence, the political philosophy was confronted with the question of whether it is virtue (aret?) or origin (g?noz) that defines an Emperor.
