Dong, Wenzhuo. "The Intrinsic Relationship Between Literary Theory and Criticism — Based on the Analysis of Bressler's "Literary Criticism: An Introduction to Theory and Practice"." Arts Studies and Criticism 3, no. 4 (September 20, 2022): 298. http://dx.doi.org/10.32629/asc.v3i4.1035.
Full textAbstract:
The convergence and integration of literary criticism and literary theory has opened up a new world of literary creation, which has improved literary creation and promoted the development and prosperity of literature and art. With the increasingly strong voice of "theoreticalization of criticism and criticism of theory" in the literary and art circles, it has become a hot topic in academic circles to reveal how theory generates criticism and narrow the distance between literary criticism and literary theory. On the basis of in-depth analysis of Charles E. Bressler's classic academic work — "Literary Criticism: An Introduction to Theory and Practice", this paper cuts in from the perspective of "readers" and uses "text reading" as a bridge. By exploring the multiple identities of readers in reading, the paper gradually dissects the intrinsic relationship and influencing factors between theory and criticism in the process of reading, as well as how theory generates criticism. It is intended to contribute to the construction of literary theory and literary criticism, as well as to provide valuable reference and reference for related research in the academic community.

Full textAbstract:
In order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Russian critical discourse on the symbolist critic Bely in the last hundred years and to show the changes in this image, the critic Bely is judged in three stages in terms of the multiple relationships between Bely's literary criticism and his own literary creation, Russian symbolist literature, Russian literature and even Russian literary criticism, and finally to construct a collection of critical Bely's images covering different times, perspectives and fields, in which the image goes through the process of going from invisibility to incipient and then to complete presentation. The Russian criticism of Bely has been controversial in different eras, but his insistence on a combination of tradition and innovation and his active search for originality have made him a highly regarded critic. This review of the changing image of Bely deepens the understanding of Bely and Russian symbolism and is a useful reference for the study of Bely's literary criticism.

Full textAbstract:
Regardless of Science or literature, there is no aspect of social life beyond the research. Creation without research deprived from track and sources of originality. Foreseeing the same significance of the phenomenon a potential number of researchers in Urdu literature have enumerated a dignified place. As a potential contributor, Dr. Jamil Jalbi is one of the same who added valuable food for thought and brainstorming for literary criticism and research culture for the scholars. Through his vision research and criticism have amalgamated in a tone of creation and art for life. His phenomenological style of research leads to criticism. Critical vision always justifies the thinking process logically which reflects feeling, observation, and sensitivity.
ADBI TEHQEEQ is one of the authentic road maps for researchers authored by " Dr. Jamil Jalbi" in which the author’s viewpoint about theory and practice and research methodologies have been narrated. The researcher has concluded through critical discourse analysis of “ADBI TEHQEEQ” that Jamil Jalbi as a school of thought has authentic views regarding research and criticism in literature. Dr. Jamil Jalbi being a multidimensional personality in ADBI TEHQEEQ explored multi aspects of literary criticism and literary history. For future researchers and critics, it is a reference and a glowing monument for guidance. As stated by Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi As an authority in literary criticism, the dignity of ADBI TEHQEEQ is not only beyond doubt but unavoidable for valuing /ranking/assessing any masterpiece in literary studies. The article on Tehqeeq Kay Jadeed Ruhjaanat reflects the significance of research under specific advocacy with in-between-the-line hard and fast rules to follow strictly and institutional barrenness in higher education institutions. Global vision and humanism distinguish him from Longinus and Arnold Bennett in the field of literary criticism. Critical thinking, secondary imagination and reflection of political epistemology are knacks of Jamil Jalbi which inspired the scholastic elite to acknowledge his contribution to introducing the sightedness of life canvas. His contribution is prismatic which inspired the researchers from dogmatism to pragmatism in literary criticism.

In response to Laches' criticism that Nicias is embellishing himself with his words (κοσμεῖ τῷ λόγῳ,La.197c3), and trying to deny that those agreed to be courageous are indeed courageous, Nicias says:Οὔκουν σέ γε, ὦ Λάχης, ἀλλὰ θάρρει‧ φημὶ γάρ σε εἶναι σοφόν, καὶ Λάμαχόν γε, εἴπερ ἐστὲ ἀνδρεῖοι, καὶ ἄλλους γε συχνοὺς Ἀθηναίων.

Full textAbstract:
Literary approaches to rabbinic literature entered the field through biblical studies, in which scholars from different quarters and different points of reference were using them to make sense of the biblical text as it has come down to us. The literary approach took umbrage at the way in which the historical source-critical approach dissects the Bible into its constituent sources. The literary approach was an overt attempt to overcome the fractures that historical criticism had introduced into the surface of the biblical text. It proposed instead to read the text—with all of its surface irregularities, gaps, and hiatuses—as coherent and meaningful.

Full textAbstract:
This paper undertakes, through the prism of linguistic (stylistic) analysis, a reading of the ideological discourse in Festus Iyayi’s novels- Violence, The Contract, and Heroes, with the broad aim of establishing the nexus between literature and ideology, through the instrumentation of language, for societal transformation. The paper explores the symbiotic relationship between language and literature and how the former is used in the study and understanding of the latter. Attempt is made to identify the patterns of use of language with reference to the purpose of commenting on quality, the exegesis and interpretative meanings of the text. The scaffold upon which our analysis is anchored is the Marxist literary criticism based on socialist and dialectical theories. It is the contention of the Marxist theorists that literary works are a reflection of the social institutions from which they originate. Terry Eagleton has affirmed that Marxist criticism “is not merely sociology of literature” but paying attention to its forms, style and meaning with a view to grasping those forms, style and meaning “as the products of a particular history. In all, four major literary tools-narrative technique, lexical choice, dialogue and authorial comments are deployed as indices for our analytical framework, using the Critical Discourse Analysis. What is apparent is that no success can be achieved in the reading and understanding of a literacy text without a manifest use of language.

Full textAbstract:
This paper makes an emotional analysis of readers’ comments on the English version of Life by Lu Yao on Amazon. The research shows that western readers generally have a high degree of acceptance of the unique regional culture of China conveyed in the English version of Life, but they hold negative criticism on the translation of some words. The main reason for readers’ criticism is that the translation does not faithfully convey the original information. Examining the translation and dissemination effects of foreign-translated works from the perspective of readers’ comments is helpful to accurately find out the translation problems existing in foreign-translated literary works and provide reference for the translation and dissemination of literary works in the future.

Full textAbstract:
The editor, M. Keith Booker, Professor of English at the University of Arkansas, has served as editor on many reference works in literature as well as many books on genres and literary movements, specific authors, and other critical works. Booker also edited the last reference work dedicated to literature and politics, Encyclopedia of Literature and Politics: Censorship, Evolution, and Writing, a three-volume set published in 2005 by Greenwood, which is surprisingly the only current reference work dedicated solely to examining the connection between literature and politics. There are many recent book-length critical works on literature and politics, but these monographs typically focus on a genre or other refined topic such as a literary movement or single author. The compact single-volume Literature and Politics Today is a welcome addition to reference work in literature and politics. Certainly, other reference works in literary criticism cover some of the topics related to the intersection of politics and literature, but do not have the political focus of Literature and Politics Today.

The article discusses two novels by Edgar Fawcett, a prolific poet and novelist active in the 1890s, as examples of materialist representation of psychology. Fawcett’s literary materialism was not only a thematic reference to his contemporary science, but a certain convention of characterization, which emphasized mystery and drastic imagery as means of character development. Numerous other examples of this tendency in the 1890s are described as well. The theoretical background is derived from the recent materialist turn in literary criticism.

Full textAbstract:
The aesthetic views of representatives of Soviet literary criticism during the Great patriotic war, in relation to the orientation of the supporters of the concept of pure art, are discussed in the article. In this aspect both dominant and not so widely spread tendencies in criticism of the designated period are being comprehended. The character of reception of artistic heritage, which belongs to the supporters of the concept of pure art in the Russian culture of 19 century, in the criticism from 1941 to 1945 is being identified. Despite the prevalence of categorical statements which consider the concept of “art for art’s sake” as a vector of creative activity to be absolutely unacceptable for a Soviet writer and statements in defense of utilitarian attitudes, it is being proved that a number of principles of “art for art’s sake” are still being mainstreamed by the critics of the period of war. This, however, is being carried out without reference to this concept or to the judgments of its authoritative spokesmen.

So in this paper, the author compare seven English versions with the three theories proposed by Professor Xu Yuanchong, the distinguished translator who bend himself to Chinese and English Translation in the field of Chinese poetry so as to provide a reference for promoting the English translation activity of Chinese ancient poetry.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The article seeks to establish a dialog, from a semiotic point of view, with the grand cartography of methods in literary criticism proposed by Prof. Zhang Jiang in his famous essay “Imposed interpretation.” While acknowledging that Prof. Zhang Jiang identifies the most crucial weak points of the semiotic methodology, the article nevertheless takes these criticisms as occasions to improve the approach of semiotics, as regards especially the following oppositions: diagrammatic over-schematization versus quest for a more judicious application of the method; overenthusiastic adoption of mathematical formulas versus cautious cross-fertilization between humanities and scientific thought; frantic pursuance of theoretical uniformity versus humble acceptance of literary idiosyncrasies; fundamentalist proclamation of the self-reliance of the text versus thoughtful consideration of the evident links between the text and its contexts. This new theoretical approach, wherein traditional semiotics improves itself in dialog with Prof. Zhang Jiang’s criticisms, is exemplified with reference to the concept of interpretive fidelity, which is categorized into different levels and dimensions of adhesion between the textual structure and the discourse of the meta-language interpreting it: hi-fi, low-fi, no-fi, and wi-fi interpretation.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe application of cognitive science to literary scholarship in the form of a cognitive poetics offers the opportunity for accounting for many features of literary reading that have been rendered only in vague or impressionistic terms in the past. In this paper, an argument for cognitive poetics is made, with a focus on the affective and experiential phenomenon of resonance. This is modelled through cognitivist work on the field of attention and perception, to give a particularly literary-angled approach. The argument is exemplified with reference to a Shakespeare sonnet and then further demonstrated in a poem by Dylan Thomas, where the notion of a lacuna is developed to account for the phenomenon of “felt absence”. The paper concludes with observations on the role of cognitive poetics in relation to cognitive science, literary criticism, and in its own right.

Abstract: Following Wang Ning's postulation that world poetics is "an open theoretical body that gains in translation and cross-cultural interpretation and can be constantly reconstructed," I expound on the role of translation in the making of world poetics. I argue that the worlding of poetics manifests as a mode of circulating and reading literary theory and criticism by transcending the boundaries of languages and cultures. With reference to two polemical episodes in a Chinese literary context, I illustrate how world poetics serves as a platform for the cross-cultural engagement of literary theory; and conversely, how it is contingent on translation and cross-cultural interpretation.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAfter advancing a preliminary list of criteria for identifying patristic biblical citations, Fee called for adequate guidelines for assessing their text critical usability. Drawing illustrations primarily from fresh assessments of references in Hippolytus, Methodius, Origen, and Epiphanius for Novum Testamentum Graecum, Osburn advances the discussion regarding citations, adaptations, allusions, reminiscences, and locutions. Simple verbal precision is inadequate to establish a reference as reflective of an exemplar. A quotation must be read in its patristic context in order to determine how the text is actually used and in what way it probably reflects a text known to the Father.

Full textAbstract:
The present paper attempts at estimating the legacy of two of the seminal philosophical minds, Plato and Aristotle. Their ideas have been so instrumental in shaping western critical literary tradition that any discussion on literary theory and criticism has to have them as a point of reference. Plato’s negative conception of mimesis is juxtaposed with Aristotle’s affirmative stand. The paper also examines the various philosophical and pragmatic charges labelled against poetry by Plato in his works such as Republic, Phaedrus and Ion. The paper concludes with a general overview of critical responses to Plato by succeeding men of letters.

Full textAbstract:
Western literary theorist Franco Moretti’s researches are featured with interdisciplinarity. His approach began with the conceptual model of “world literature”, followed by the methodology of “distant reading”, and ended with the practice of “computational criticism”. This paper aims to explore the dynamic interaction between Darwin’s evolutionary theory and Wallerstein’s world-systems analysis, as well as the interplay between close reading and distant reading, and the dialogue between traditional criticism and computational criticism. With the popularization of the Internet, the revolution of information technology and the wave of globalization, the categorization of disciplines with distinct barriers can no longer meet the complexity of modernization, and the call for interdisciplinary integration is constantly heard. Nevertheless, interdisciplinary research is in urgent need of theoretical framework and practical guidance for reference. This paper seeks to contribute to the interdisciplinary study of foreign literature in China within the purview of “new liberal arts”.

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyses two exegetical strategies adopted by ancient scholars to explain Euripides’ mythological innovations and variations with respect to Homer through a selection of scholia. The first approach considers Euripides a (mis-) reader of Homer. The dramatist regards an epic passage as the reference text, but fails to understand its wording correctly: therefore, he uncritically reproduces the model, even though inspired by a genuine impulse to emulate; this circumstance de facto equates the tragedian with a sort of exegete and represents his deviation from the epic text as the locus of an implicit (erroneous) interpretation. The second approach evaluates the work of Euripides, comparing it with the Homeric poems, by means and in the light of concepts of literary criticism. The tragedian creates a good or bad product depending on whether his innovation achieves a certain poetic result: an implausible or unrealistic description of a character is contested, whereas a strategy to enhance the emotional impact of the dramatic moment is recognised and perceived as a careful and conscious artistic operation, hence possibly praised. Keywords: ancient scholarship, exegetical activity, Greek scholia, literary comparison, literary criticism

Three times I rushed, and my heart urged me to hold her, and three times she flew from my hands like a shadow or even a dream.—Homer, The Odyssey 11.206–08.To speak of the future of literary criticism is always to speak of the future of literature, which is a mode of language and an institution whose very being essentially touches on the possibility and fragility of its own future. “The fragility of literature,” as Richard Klein suggests, “its susceptibility to being lost,” is at the heart of all literary writing, which emerges from the absence of a “real referent” and thus sustains itself through its reference to other texts, to the archive of literary writing that is made up of figures and other literary articulations that allow us to read. Klein reminds us, citing Jacques Derrida, that literary texts may always disappear: not only because they may be forgotten but also because they are susceptible to the erasure of the archive, to apocalyptic destruction, and to the collective loss of the knowledge of how to read—as a result of new modes of media saturation or, I would add, through the collapse of readability in the age of what Hannah Arendt calls “the modern lie” (“Truth” 253). The force and fragility of literature and of literary criticism are bound up with the possible disappearance of the literary archive, which we implicitly confront in reading literature and in pursuing its forms and thoughts as literary critics.

Full textAbstract:
Previous literary studies on the revision of “Leda and the Swan” by William B. Yeats are mainly concerned with its psychological, social and historical implications conveyed by the relationship between Leda and the swan, and seldom explain the realization of this relationship in linguistic terms and its reception by the readership. Stylistic studies can furnish linguistic evidence for literary interpretation. Building on previous literary criticism and stylistic analysis, this study takes the first stanza as an example and conducts a cognitive stylistic analysis of the poem’s three versions by means of Langacker’s reference point model and dynamic discourse analysis framework. The poet’s aspiration to achieve subtle balance in the relationship through syntactic and semantic alteration is thus better understood and the possibility of applying Langacker’s cognitive grammar to stylistic analysis of poetry is tentatively explored.

In CQ n.s 32 (1982), 237, Howard Jacobson comments on Lucretius' expression fingere somnia, for which he can find only two parallels, both later than Lucretius. He suggests that the phrase can best be understood as a reference to the actual practice of dream control, or oneiropompeia, for which he provides several useful references. A fragment of Luciiius, however, provides not only a parallel, but perhaps even a model, for Lucretius' phrase, and for his criticism in 1.102–35 of the lies or fictions of both religious figures and poets.

Full textAbstract:
The present study investigated the effects of writing reader response journals (RRJ) on the quality of responses to literary works assigned. The study is underpinned by Rosenblatt’s Reader Response Theory, literacy principles, and sociocultural views. The study assumes that readers’ responses to literature involve critical and aesthetic reading-writing (literacy) events that are collaboratively constructed. The study involved an intact group (N=22) comprising EFL teacher trainees of a private education college in Ciamis, Indonesia, taking Literature Criticism subject. This time series pre-experimental study entailed repeated measurements of critical reading and assessments of aesthetic responses before and after the treatment. Before the treatment, New Critics’ conventional text-based teaching strategies were given. Findings of the study suggest that, quantitatively, as ANOVA proved, the use of reader response journal gave effects on the constantly better achievements, and, as the Paired t-Test indicated, the treatment resulted in better quality. Additionally, qualitative evidences revealed from observation, interviews, and document analysis showed better quality of the trainees’ aesthetic experiences reflecting varied reader response strategies. The study recommends further studies develop reader response-based literature teaching model across contexts in reference to gender issues.

This article discusses existentialism in Arabic literature. The purpose of this study is to describe the philosophical foundations that underlie existentialism, models or forms of existentialism, figures who apply existentialism in their literature works, critiques of existentialism. The method used in collecting data is the technique of looking at notes on reference sources in books related to existentialism. The results of the study show that the foundations philosophical of existentialism is that humans have the highest authority in governing themselves with responsible freedom. The models that appear in this exsistentialism are novels, dramas, poetry with themes of anxiety, sadness and others. Arab literary figures who apply this exsistentialism in their works include: 'Abd al-Rahman Badawi, Khalil al-Hawi, Abd al-Wahab al-Bayati, Taufiq al-Hakim. Later in its development, existentialism received some criticism because of its extreme ideas which were contrary to what was brought by Islam, that humans must believe in God and the values of intellectual heritage.

“Grammar”(文法) is a technique for creating novels.The prefaces and postscripts (comments) of the novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in China have made a penetrating summary of the novel grammar, especially Jin Shengtan(金圣叹), Zhang Zhupo(张竹坡), Mao Zonggang(毛宗岗), Zhi yanzhai(脂砚斋) and many other critics, making the grammar theory occupy an important position in the whole novel theory. In the theory of novel grammar, a series of grammatical terms have been formed. The same point of the grammar theory of Korean and Chinese ancient novels is that both countries have introduced the terms of Theory of painting, and the novel critics of both countries have used Theory of painting and painting terms for reference. The influence of “painting theory”(画论) in the grammar of novels in both countries is mainly reflected in the vivid effect and ink skills. It is reasonable to introduce painting theory and painting terminology into the “grammar theory” in the preface and commentary of Korean Chinese novels.The application of Theory of painting to the field of Literary criticism has broken through the understanding level of Literary criticism.

AbstractSome of the mainly unchartered territories in literary criticism are the implications of Susan Sontag’s frontal attack on traditional hermeneutical practices in Against Interpretation (1969). This contribution to investigations into the modes of interpretation attempts to draw constructive consequences from this provocation and investigate the notion of a ›poetics of criticism‹ emanating into what can be called the ›aesthetics of interpretation‹. In so doing, it explores the Romantic backdrop of this discourse through examining Friedrich Schlegel’s plea for a ›poetization‹ of critique and his demand to turn critical approaches into aesthetic, if not artistic, acts. Then, these reflections examine notions of perception or Anschauung as a cornerstone of comprehension; discuss poetic renderings of thought with Nietzsche, who epitomizes the fusion of reflection and aesthetic production; single out one of Gottfried Benn’s early poems (»Kreislauf«) as an object for putting aesthetic interpretation into practice given the specific character of this Expressionistic text; and, finally, assess elements of theories of recognition in terms of aesthetic practice with specific reference to a paragraph in early Adorno, which highlights cognitive transformation processes as matters of aesthetic experience.Thus, this essay illustrates the interrelationship between critical theory and practice as an aesthetic act, which takes into account the significance of Sontag’s challenge, exemplifying the necessity of finding a language register that can claim to strive towards adequacy in relation to the (artistic) object of criticism without compromising analytical rigour.The argument developed in this contribution towards an aesthetics of interpretation begins with a critical appreciation of various forms and modes of criticism in literature and other aspects of artistic expression. It centres on the significance of the dialogue as an explorative means of critical discourse, ranging from Friedrich Schlegel to Hugo von Hofmannsthal and indeed Hans Magnus Enzensberger. With the (fictive) dialogue as an instrument of aesthetic judgement, ›experience‹ entered the stage of literary criticism negotiating ambivalences and considering alternative points of view often generated from the texts under consideration.In terms of the ambivalences mentioned above, this investigation into the nature of criticism considers the notion of criticism as a form of art and an extrapolation of aesthetic reason as propagated already by Henry Kames, once even quoted by Hegel in connection with the establishing of a rationale for the critical appreciation of artistic products.It discusses the interplay of distance from, and empathy with, objects of aesthetic criticism asking to what extent the act of interpretation (Wolfgang Iser) can acquire a creative momentum of its own without distorting its true mission, namely to assess the characteristics and aesthetic qualities of specific (poetic) texts or other artistic objects. Following the closer examination of several of Nietzsche’s poems and Roland Barthes’s insistence on the segmentation of the linguistic material that constitutes a textual entity worthy of criticism, the article examines one of Gottfried Benn’s early poems (»Kreislauf«, 1912) in respect of its textual and structural dynamics, awkward sensuality as a form of negative eroticism. On the basis of a detailed linguistic, and indeed poetic, examination it shows where, when, and how literary criticism can meaningfully identify structural features as denominators for aesthetic experience.The final section is devoted to instrumentalize Adorno’s point that concepts can turn with some inevitability into images enabling the theory of cognition to acquire some credibility as a potentially fertile basis for aesthetic practice – both in literary criticism and poetic production. With a concluding reference to Paul Celan’s remark that language acquires a Being of its own and that something of existential significance occurs in the poem, this article illustrates that interpretation depends on a successful interplay of cognitive and sensual processes, which leaves criticism somewhere between aesthetic analysis and contextualization as well as between taking linguistic images metaphorically or indeed literarily. Finally, it suggests regarding aesthetic criticism as a way to assess both the actual creative process and its results as if they were involved in a ›dialogue‹ of their own. Therefore, interpretation can be seen as a process that generates its very own dynamics and procedures (i. e. ›poetics‹), either in relation to its object or in form of a juxtaposition. If the latter, the likelihood is stronger that ›interpretation‹ acquires more distinctiveness. Ultimately, however, the (quasi-performative) quality of interpretation depends on its stylistic features, the adequacy of language used, and conceptual stringency without disregarding its essential function, namely to enable a dialogue between the work of art and its recipient and the recipients amongst themselves.

Full textAbstract:
This article attempts to prove that the literary contest in Aristophanes’ Frogs is important as a reflection of contemporary literary discussions. A survey is given of the different aspects of Greek tragedy which are discussed and of the various and contradictory opinions which are expressed. The latter are not necessarily those of Aristophanes himself. In the 5th century B.C. the Greeks seem to have been mainly concerned with questions of style and with the moral influence of tragedy. With reference to the question of how much importance should be ascribed to the comic treatment of literary' matters, the view is put forward that The Frogs contains an exposition of genuine convictions about art. The parallel of Sheridan’s play The Critic confirms this conclusion. The present interpretation of Aristophanes is corroborated by the great influence The Frogs had on criticism right up to the 20th century.

Full textAbstract:
Science fiction, ranging from films to industrial design to world's fairs, is a cultural system no more confined to literature than love is to love letters. From its self-recognition in 1926, science fiction has involved commercial and social realities most obviously visible in fandom and the hundreds of annual science fiction conventions. This system includes many types of consumers and producers, even collaboratively self-correcting volunteer bibliographers. Collectively, science fiction fandom, the first organized fandom, has created vast informational resources that allow not only reference but also statistical inquiry. The Genre Evolution Project (http://www.umich.edu/~genreevo/) shows that these social structures and resources potentiate, in an age of widespread computer networking, the transformation of criticism from acts of isolated scholars working with narrowly defined subjects to collaborative projects drawing on human and informational resources across disciplinary boundaries. Science fiction points to a future in which criticism will be more systematic, collaborative, and quantitative.

This article surveys the history of English studies and education in Japan, paying special attention to the role of literary texts and stylistics. Firstly, the role of literature and stylistics in Japan is discussed from a pedagogical point of view, including both English as a foreign language and Japanese as a native language. Secondly, the way in which stylistics has contributed to literary criticism in the country is examined, with reference to the history of literary stylistics since 1980. Finally, this article considers further applications of stylistics to language study in Japan, offering two examples: analysis of thought presentation in Yukio Mishima’s Megami (2006[1955]), and the teaching of an English poem and a Japanese haiku to Japanese EFL students. The overall aim of this article is to demonstrate that literature as language teaching material and stylistics as a critical and teaching method are significant not only in understanding English, but also in appreciating our own native language if it is not English.

During most of the twentieth century history was seen as a phenomenon outside of literature that guaranteed the veracity of literary interpretation. History was unique and it functioned as a basis for reading literary works. During the seventies of the twentieth century there occurred a change of attitude towards history in American literary theory, and there appeared a new theoretical approach which soon became known as New Historicism. Since its inception, New Historicism has been identified with the study of Renaissance and Romanticism, but nowadays it has been increasingly involved in other literary trends. Although there are great differences in the arguments and practices at various representatives of this school, New Historicism has clearly recognizable features and many new historicists will agree with the statement of Walter Cohen that New Historicism, when it appeared in the eighties, represented something quite new in reference to the studies of theory, criticism and history (Cohen 1987, 33). Theoretical connection with Bakhtin, Foucault and Marx is clear, as well as a kind of uneasy tie with deconstruction and the work of Paul de Man. At the center of this approach is a renewed interest in the study of literary works in the light of historical and political circumstances in which they were created. Foucault encouraged readers to begin to move literary texts and to link them with discourses and representations that are not literary, as well as to examine the sociological aspects of the texts in order to take part in the social struggles of today.The study of literary works using New Historicism is the study of politics, history, culture and circumstances in which these works were created. With regard to one of the main fact which is located in the center of the criticism, that history cannot be viewed objectively and that reality can only be understood through a cultural context that reveals the work, re-reading and interpretation of literature is not just re-reading of texts that are already well known, but reading in a completely new way.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis essay examines the Hindi Nayī Kahānī, or New Story, Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, which was influential for the short stories, criticism, and literary history that its writers produced. Incorporating a view toward the larger “metaliterary” corpus in relation to which properly “literary” nayī kahānī texts were written, the essay shows how the movement inaugurated a modernist realism characterized by attention to genre, rhetoric, and style on one hand, and commitment to social reality on the other. Combining rhetorical strategies—such as shifting narrative voice, allegorical descriptions of landscape, and implicit reference to authorship and the condition of postcolonial literary production—with structural and thematic tensions between form and content, this mode developed an interchangeability between author, reader, and character, which did not previously exist in Hindi literature and which reconfigured the category of the middle class in the universally recognizable terms of alienation. Using the case of the nayī kahānī, the essay offers a new literary historical approach that moves beyond sweeping accounts of a single postcolonial mode to attend to regional realisms and modernisms.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines film adaptation of a literary work, which is regarded as an “intersemiotic translation” (R. O. Jakobson’s term). Research in the field of film adaptations has experienced a real boom abroad for at least the last two decades. In recent years, one can notice an increase in interest in this topic in Russia as well. This is evidenced by even a cursory acquaintance with newly written articles, monographs, and dissertations, whose authors approach the problem of film adaptation from the standpoint of a wide range of research fields: film studies, linguistics, philosophy, sociology, literary criticism, etc. At the same time, the question of whether an adaptation of a literary text can be regarded as a translation is still debatable. Employing this point of view, this article proposes to consider two adaptations of Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet: by T. Richardson (1969) and by F. Zeffirelli (1990), where the directors abandoned the traditional interpretation of the play in the theatre and the cinema but did not choose to transfer the action to a different epoch. A comparative analysis of the performance of Hamlet’s monologue as a key moment of the protagonist’s internal conflict demonstrates that even though both directors keep the text of the monologue unchanged, its interpretation undergoes serious transformations. Due to its multimodality and in addition to the word, cinematography uses sound and visual images. These extra artistic means which cinematography has at its disposal offer a recoding of meanings akin to transcoding a text by means of another language, characteristic of translation in its classical sense.

This personal essay explores the social, philosophical and ethical issues that arise when individuals and groups self-identify as a particular class. The broadening of what class is understood as through various academic and creative disciplines has also opened up questions and problems that need addressing. Drawing on sociology, environmental, evolutionary and social psychology, I unpack different markers of class and identity, their interplay and interconnections, and consider the fragmentation of class-specific cultures and communities. These ideas are interrogated through personal reflection, literary criticism and with reference to popular culture to appraise the ways class focus has shifted and the obstacles arising in its wake.

Full textAbstract:
The article attempts to explore the socio-political consciousness in Dalits for their rights, equality and liberation. Fundamentally, the article studies Sharad Poudel’s social novel “Tapan” (2073 BS) from the Marxist concept of class consciousness connecting with Dalit consciousness. For this purpose, the researcher collects and uses the various criticism and literature to explore how the Dalit literary texts portray the Dalit issues, problems, political and economic disparity, their protest and resolutions based on theoretical and critical analysis. The select novel’s plots, characters and the major themes also reflect the socio-political consciousness in Dalits. Moreover, the article explores that class consciousness develops within the characters and they stand together in the same mission and set goal for their liberation. And, the ideologies and political consciousness make them more responsible for their people and society. The novel as Dalit literature depicts multiple-layers of socio-economic, cultural and political problems of Dalits and their protests against it. The researcher employs the qualitative methods with descriptive and analytical approach.

Full textAbstract:
Prof. C. D. Narasimhaiah personifies as it were intense passion for literature and liberal humanism in world view. Born to a poor family in a small town in south India (Karnataka), he had to struggle for education throughout. But owing to his strong resolve and self-confidence, he rose to great heights in the academic world. He went to Cambridge and got his Master’s degree under the tutelage of the renowned critic F. R. Leavis, and after returning to Mysore, he headed the English Department in Mysore University. He was a very influential teacher and critic, and after his retirement he established a unique ‘cultural centre’ called Dhvanyaloka. He was almost a ‘reference point’ for English Studies in India. This paper attempts to understand CDN as a teacher of English and as a literary critic. The paper has two parts: the first part describes in detail his modernisation of the English department which entailed a total revision of syllabus with a special focus on the then ‘modern writers’ such as Hopkins, Eliot, Auden, and Lawrence, and Leavis (in criticism); introduction of new fields of study as American Literature, Australian Literature, and Commonwealth Literature; and text-centred analysis in criticism. The second part of the paper considers CDN’s distrust of Theory in literary criticism and goes on to analyse his strong conviction of ‘Indian Sensibility’ and ‘Indianness’ in both critical and creative exercises, and relates such issues to the ‘pressure of cultural identity’ in the colonial world . The paper concludes that CDN was a Liberal Humanist to whom Literature was not a playground meant to play games but a profound Ashrama where one learnt the values of life and societal systems.

Full textAbstract:
The study of allusion has been beset by limiting assumptions, conceptual murkiness, and terminological imprecision; moreover, many poststructuralist theorists regard such study as having been superseded by newer conceptions of intertextuality. This essay seeks to clarify the nature of allusion and the terminology by which it is analyzed and to place it on a firmer footing within poststructuralist literary criticism. I distinguish two forms of allusion often conflated-learned reference and phraseological adaptation–and elucidate the elements of a phraseological adaptation. I distinguish diachronic allusion from synchronic intertextuality, as poststructuralist theorists insist should be done, but then suggest how coordinating the two can enrich the analytic power of each way of conceiving textual interrelation.

Full textAbstract:
A quick look on the history of criticism and literary theory of the current period shows curious reversals and strange returns. Indeed one can see the slow and unrelenting disappearance of rhetoric, justly qualified as restricted, since it has been all too often limited to identifying and classifying of the various figures. It has been replaced by a new criticism, a fundamentally formalist one, the assumptions of which are akin to those of the “text sciences”; if the structure, the “poetical function” of the texts were underlined, it was to the detriment of their functional reference and their meaning to put it simply. There is no doubt that today this approach is running out of steam and is meeting some decline. For that reason, the history of literature is coming back in force and finds a new youth with the developments of the theories of perception. But there reappears also a new interest in a semantic approach of the texts, which is concerned with their references. This approach, which comes from logistics (G. Frege), undoubtedly opens a philosophical horizon, particularly on some kind of ontology. Thus it is not surprising to find that a great many studies question the metaphorical process again from that perspective given the paradoxical nature of its reference and thus of its ontology which could be summed up through the usual exordium of the Majorcan storytellers: “Aixo era y no era” (it was and was not). Paul Ricœur insists on the paradoxical nature of the metaphorical reference since “the metaphor is a way of working on the language which consists in giving the logical subjects predicates that are incompatible with the first ones” (From Text to Action). In his book The Living Metaphor, the French philosopher analyses the concept of the “ontological metaphor” from the idea of the “divided reference”. Ricœur moves away from a purely stylistic or linguistic approach, centred on the word (a deviant denomination) to describe the metaphorical process on the level of the phrase and of the discourse (a non-pertinent predication): “Then there is a metaphor, since we can discern <…> the resistance of words <…> their incompatibility on the level of a literal interpretation of a sentence” (From Text to Action). But that non-pertinence and the abolition of the reference in the everyday reality are not a purely gratuitous verbal game, for they liberate “another kind of reference to other dimensions of reality” (The Living Metaphor). It is that way of tension of the metaphor which we intend to present in our study for it expresses some kind of „ontological vehemence” as Ricœur puts it so well? Let us add that the metaphor seen as a new description of reality, can be conceived, so to speak, as a “model”, in the sense of a prototype which accounts of the way a literary text functions when it is a “opening on the world”, when it places itself “in the service of things that want to be expressed” and when it responds “to the need of a discourse that comes from all forms of experience” (Mimesis, Reference and new figuration in “Time and Narrative”).
