Abstract:
In the late Middle Ages, authors of fiction, historical texts, and travel narratives discussed issues related to the places and spaces of marvels. Writers debated whether local, western occurrences could be as wondrous — and thus worthy of being recorded in writing — as foreign, eastern phenomena. This article explores how Boccaccio's engagement with Dante was intertwined with evolving views of the marvelous. It proposes that Boccaccio, following Dante, likened his writings to natural marvels to defend the status of literature, a mode of discourse sometimes considered unnatural or fraudulent. In addition, this research examines how Boccaccio drew on marvels to highlight differences between the properties and ethics of Dante'sComedyand these aspects of hisDecameron. In addressing these topics, Boccaccio was inspired by late medieval Latin historians, who foregrounded the novelty of their texts by self-consciously writing about western marvels. In theDecameron,Boccaccio recalled ideas about local marvels to champion the dignity of his erotic, mundane stories in comparison to Dante's otherworldly, divine poem. Boccaccio thus also reminded readers not only to wonder about future, eternal matters, but to cherish the experiences of this our present life.

Abstract:
Nguyen Du entered the literature world as an experienced genius. Being a highly sensitive person, living in the chaotic times and going through many vicissitudes, the poet Nguyen Du was always anxious. However, those almost constant anxieties seemed to be transformed into the power, into the sublime (with the meaning given by Sigmund Freud) which in some moments helped the poet get into the calmness overcoming his ordinary ego. It was the calmness coming from the poetical creativity. In his calmness of creativity, Nguyen Du made the marvelously cultural matches. My paper focuses on seven matches in Nguyen Du’s works as of the following: (1) Vietnam and China, (2) Buddhism and Confucianism, (3) Man and Nature, (4) Vulgarity and Holiness, (5) Poetry and Novel, (6) Romanticism and Realism, (7) Traditionality and Modernity. The contents, the manners and the characteristics of those cultural matches could light up the cultural mind, the aesthetic perception and the intertextual tendency of Nguyen Du as representative of Vietnamese literature.

Full text
Abstract:
This article approaches the study of children’s literature as a threshold of change that allows readers to explore the reality around them, imagine other worlds and understand other perspectives. Based on the notion of the child’s cognitive development organized into four stages ―pre-reading, fantastic stage, fantastic-realistic stage and aesthetics stage― reading becomes a resource to combine fantasy and experience where the mirror is a highly suggestive element and prone to hundreds of interpretations and applications as can be seen in the plots of well-known books such as the brother Grimm’s Snow White, Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, Michael Ende’s The Neverending story and J.K. Rowling’s The Philosopher’s Stone, among others. As a result, as young readers go from one stage to another, the mirror gains greater symbolic complexity and they face the discovery of the self and the other as well as the confrontation between the so-called primary and secondary worlds, reality and the marvelous.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper explores allegorical and unnatural elements in China Miéville’s novel Perdido Street Station, starting with a parallel between the fictional city New Crobuzon and London. Fantasy literature examines human nature by means of myth and archetype and science fiction exploits the same aspects, although emphasizing technological possibilities. Horror is said to explore human nature plunging into our deepest fears. We encounter the three elements profusely in the narrative, making it a dense fictional exercise. In postclassical narratology, unnatural narratives are understood as mimetical exercises questioning verisimilitude in the level of the story and of discourse. When considered unnatural, narratives have a broader scope, sometimes even transcending this mimetical limitation. Fantastical and marvelous elements generally strike us as bizarre and question the standards that govern the real world around us. Although Fantasy worlds do also mirror the world we live in, they allow us the opportunity to confront the model when physically or logically impossible characters or scenes enhance the reader’s imagination. Elements of the fantastic and the marvelous relate to metaphor as a figure of speech and can help us explore characters’ archetypical functions, relating these allegorical symbols to the polis. In Miéville’s narrative, such characters will be paralleled to inhabitants of London in different temporal and spatial contexts, enhancing how the novel metaphorically represents the city as an elaborate narrative strategy.

Full text
Abstract:
Following a legacy of four and a half centuries of literature written by foreign travelers landing on Haiti’s shores, Alejo Carpentier’s seminal novel about the Haitian Revolution is predicated upon Carpentier’s voyage to Haiti six years earlier. This article attends to the role of voyage in Carpentier’s The Kingdom of This World, revealing the ways in which Carpentier’s storytelling and rendering of Haiti in both the novel and its prologue, and his accompanying theory of the marvelous real, adhere to Eurocentric conceptions of time that reinscribe this neocolonial space as anachronistic space. Because Carpentier can only perceive Haiti in the past, he replicates the role of the imperial travel writer in fashioning metropolitan conceptions of colonial spaces and reproduces the imbalance of power between visitor/visited. This perspective reinforces a dominant Euro-American image of Haiti as a strange and magical object of consumption and fails to imagine it as an independent, post-revolution state.

Abstract:
By investigating the first novella of the Decameron from the perspective of the sacred this article questions the notion of realism as privileged key to the interpretation of Boccaccio’s style, poetics, and even philosophy in his major work. Although with different nuances of definition, realism remains by and large the trait scholarship emblematically associate with the Decameron as testifying to the emergence of mercantile culture and bourgeois mentality. Realism as verisimilar representation of historical reality tends to be associated with the character of modernity of Boccaccio’s masterpiece. In this paper I propose a different approach and suggest an alternative notion of realism in terms of the effects on reality of the literary artifice. This notion encompasses the verisimile as well as the marvelous and identifies a mode of realism coherent to the moral instances of the Decameron.

Resumo: Neste estudo, observa-se que a representação do maravilhoso fantástico fundamentada pelo imaginário de heróis, prodígios e bestiários contribui para o grande questionamento histórico-sociológico que por essência constitui parte da produção literária de Mário Cláudio: a alienante existência da humanidade que a distancia de sua essência plural e, conseqüentemente, de sua essência criativa. Nessa estratégia de representação, o fantástico maravilhoso que atua sobre o imaginário da tripulação de personagens de Mário Cláudio é significativa em termos de memória e identidade porque implica, sobretudo, um reposicionamento historiográfico, pelo viés cultural do tratamento de episódios históricos, um reposicionamento literário, pela forma complexa que sua narrativa manifesta tais imaginários, e, por último, um reposicionamento sociológico, pelo alto teor crítico em que a presente imagem da mentalidade da nação é colocada, pois tudo se passa como se muitos de seus personagens fossem cegos, acostumados ao pequeno e imaginário mundo que os circunda.Palavras-chave: Portugal; imaginário; narrativa; história.Abstract: In this study, is observed that the representation of the fantastic fantastic based on the imaginary of heroes, prodigies and bestiaries contributes to the great historical-sociological questioning that is essentially part of the literary production of Mário Cláudio: the alienating existence of humanity that at distance its plural essence and, consequently, its creative essence. In this strategy of representation, the marvelous acting on the imagery of the character crew of Mário Cláudio is significant in terms of memory and identity because it mainly implies a historiographical repositioning, the cultural bias of the treatment of historical episodes, a literary repositioning , by the complex form that his narrative manifests such imaginaries, and, finally, a sociological repositioning, by the high critical content in which the present image of the mentality of the nation is put, since everything happens as if many of its personages were blind, accustomed to the small and imaginary world that surrounds them.Keywords: Portugal; imaginary; narrative; history.

Abstract:
This short study seeks to highlight the rhetorical use of creation imagery in the sapiential Torah exhortation of Baruch 3:9–4:4. A methodology of rhetorical criticism will principally be used to investigate the style of this “ecologically” insightful part of the poem as well as its function in the wider message of the exhortation. The few short phrases of 3:33–35 effectively bolster the overall exhortation to adhere to the divine commandments as Israel is thereby invited to an imitation of creation in its reverent, unhesitating, joyful and Patriarch-like obedience to the divine will. To paraphrase this idea, “Hear O Israel, be like the light and the stars! Learn from creation and you will live.” Finally, this study seeks to contribute to the more recent attention to the Book of Baruch by commenting further on the previously accentuated unoriginality of this marvelous short work of Second Temple Jewish literature, especially with regard to its employment of some bright “ecological” wisdom.

Abstract:
Abstract This article argues that scholarship has been missing the pre-Scheherazade dynamic scenes that set the stage for further action and narrative. These preludinal sites function as the stepping stone for action, a series of encounters that initiate and perpetuate instability and disequilibrium. It draws attention to the unnamed queens as prototypes for Scheherazade, the abducted bride, the three ladies of Baghdad, and many other women in unfolding varieties of rebellion or compromise. As there is little talk and more voyeurism in this prelude with its focus on the bedroom and garden scenes, readers and kings are spectators, and the spectacle unfolds as in cinematic close-ups. Hence, this significant turn to the spectacle contravenes common approaches to the frame tale as only an enveloping framework that accommodates an ongoing marvelous story-machine. Although cursorily passed on in scholarship, the bedroom and garden scenes offer us not only a powerful incitement for action, but also a sweeping challenge to authority which the named kings could hardly overcome. The discussion re-situates sites of trial and defiance in context of a flowing narrative. The article proposes therefore to come up with a narrative grammar that engages with current narratology.

Abstract:
SummaryIn the mid-19th century Vuk Stefanović Karadžić collected folk tales in the broader South-Slavic region and published them in a collection titled Serbian Folk Tales. Folk fairy tales make the major part of the collection. In this paper, the authors determine the folk fairy tale structure according to the methodology proposed by Vladimir Propp in the Morphology of the Folktale. The aim of the paper is to investigate, whether these fairy tales can be fully described using Propp’s Morphology. Propp’s model of the meta-folk fairy tale was developed inductively based on a rich, comprehensive, yet limited, corpus of Russian folk fairy tales, which opens up space for further testing of the proposed model.The hypothesis was set that the analyzed folk fairy tales completely conform to the plot structure of the meta-folk fairy tale with a maximum of 31 functions as proposed by Propp. The hypothesis is grounded in: 1. the time when the folktales were collected (mid-19th century, the same time as the Russian collection analyzed by Propp) and 2. the similarity of the South Slavic peoples with the peoples of the Slavic East.However, after categorial and structural analyses of the corpus were performed, it was clear that the hypothesis could not be accepted in its entirety. In the analyzed folk fairy tales, no new functions were found as compared to the 31 functions identified by Propp, but some of these functions were altered as compared to those to be expected in folk tales. This alteration occurred not only regarding the changed order of functions, assimilation and cases of dual morphological meanings of functions, but also in terms of the fantastic category of the marvelous, which is the core feature of the fairy tale genre, whose nature was changed. The study identified the rationalization of some magical motifs, which partially mitigates the quality of the miraculous in the fairy tale and found out that, in some cases, the marvelous was mitigated and “shifted” towards the (merely) fantastic. This was achieved by introducing oniric elements. One of the important conclusions of our study of the fairy tale is that these fairy tales, although labeled as folk tales, feature significant authorial intervention.

It is only through a synthesis of these two ways of knowledge that we can possibly hope to know this marvelous, awe-inspiring, yet puzzling world we live in and how our interaction with it plays a part in its existence as we experience it. Heisenberg’s concept of probability is essential to an understanding of this process. Through the process of semiosis, we create an entire world out of probabilities. What quantum physics indicates about how we influence this world in a semiotic fashion is of prime importance in understanding who we are as semiotic animals, the only animals who consciously use signs.

Abstract:
For those of us for whom “literary Darwinism,” which bases its “scientific” approach to literary criticism on evolutionary psychology, has seemed an intellectual disaster, but who continue to believe that it is important to incorporate science cooperatively into our study of literature; for those who are concerned about how art and literature matter in a world so troubled and dangerous; for those convinced Darwinians who find themselves skeptical about and uneasy with the mechanico-materialist version of Darwinism that Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett have made popular; for those who find that the science they credit is yet inadequately attentive to women's perspectives, Richard Prum's The Evolution of Beauty offers a potentially marvelous option. A distinguished ornithologist, Prum has undertaken an enormously ambitious project, whose implications run from evolutionary biology to aesthetics. From the perspective of a very unscientific literary guy and a wannabe birder, I slightly distrust my enthusiasm for the book. But Prum's arguments are creatively provocative and brilliantly argued, even when they get rather iffily hypothetical; his ornithological studies are intrinsically fascinating, even to nonbirders, and at the same time they have potentially transformative implications. What he has to say, even if his inferences can and should be challenged, deserves the most serious engagement.
