Full textAbstract:
Scripture’s remark to Will in Piers Plowman.B, “I nel noght scorne . . . but if scryveynes lye” (B.X.331), acknowledges the possibility o f scribal inaccuracy, capturing both the reality o f mediaeval manuscript traditions and the frustration o f editors who wrestle to distinguish authorial from scribal readings of a text. From the point o f view o f author or editor, scribal “corruptions” interfere with the important processes of creation and dissemination of a literary work— in the case of Piers Plowman.B, surviving manuscripts not only have scribal corruptions, but are themselves copies o f an unusually corrupt copy (Kane-Donaldson 96-97, 128-29). As readers, we instinctively side with the editors and poets, but over the gulfs of time in the wake of centuries o f the writer’s absence, we perhaps should pause, as B.A. Windeatt suggests, to reconsider the “scryveynes lye” and to understand it also as a mediaeval response to a mediaeval text (1979, 122). Although at opposite poles in their own responses to scribal contributions, both Kane and Windeatt narrow “scribal response” to signify textual variation— the glossing and rewriting of the text, but manuscript layout (ordinatio and compilatio, for example) also fashions and interprets the text. In Oxford MS Corpus Christi College 201, manuscript arrangement and “corruption” together manipulate the text aggressively in ways that frequently demonstrate intelligent scribal reception of a complicated text; the “scryveynes lye” becomes here a contemporary response, a mediaeval guide to our own potential reading of Piers Plowman.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The twelfth volume of Catalogus Translationum et Commentariorum (CTC) marks a departure from earlier books in this series by focusing on the reception history of a single text: the Metamorphoses of Publius Ovidius Naso, otherwise known as Ovid. This book has been decades in the making. It began in the late 1970s, when Virginia Brown, then a member of the editorial board of CTC, commissioned Frank T. Coulson to compose an article on the medieval reception of Ovid’s most famous poem and the late Harry Louis Levy (1906–1981) to contribute information on the early modern commentaries. Coulson later collaborated with Harald Anderson to write the essay on the fortuna of the Metamorphoses and the sections on its commentary tradition and translation history. The result of the industry of these three scholars is well worth the wait. This massive instrument of reference is a monumental contribution to our understanding of the reception of Ovid’s poem in the medieval and early modern periods and the most important addition to Ovidian reception studies in modern scholarship. Exhaustive in its thoroughness and immaculate in its presentation, this book will enlighten and inform scholars and students of the Metamorphoses for decades to come.

Full textAbstract:
Reception theory deals with the reception of literary text itself as well as its effect on a potential reader. On one hand, the reception aesthetics examines how readers in different historical situations react to a literary text, and thus deals with real readers whose reactions point to a certain historically conditioned literary experience. On the other hand, Wolfgang Iser's Theory of the Aesthetic Response observes the impact of a literary text on its implied reader and how it provokes a reaction. The aim of this study is to emphasize (in some moments) the variously used and applied theoretical and philosophical starting points in Wolfgang Iser's reception aesthetics and the reception theory of Hans-Robert Jauß.

Full textAbstract:
Students of political thought generally focus on the context in which the writer produced his or her work or on the present philosophical or political importance of the text. A neglected area is the reception of the work by contemporaries and the subsequent reputation which the writer enjoyed, both in terms of philosophical coherence and political acceptability. This article looks at the changes in Mill's public image and in the philosophical evaluation given him by commentators from his own day to the present.

Full textAbstract:
The reception of Greek scientific and philosophical literature in Syriac, which had a major influence on the later reception in Arabic, is an area that has been the subject of a renewed wave of research in the past few years. This paper provides a brief overview of the reception of the Greek sciences in Syriac, citing some of the latest research in the field. This is followed by the presentation of an example to illustrate how the Syriac intermediary text, when available, can help to elucidate the process of translation into Arabic, together with some observations on the ways in which the Syriac reception of the Greek sciences influenced the later reception in Arabic.

Full textAbstract:
This essay lays out a history of the translation, interpretation, transmission and reception of the Bhagavad Gita as a cultural, religious and philosophical text in the West from 1785 to 1945; in doing so it focuses primarily on Britain, although it also refers to other contexts of reception where they are connected to the British context, or to present revealing or helpful comparisons. The object of the essay is to investigate relationships between the Gita's interpretive history and assumptions about the Gita, both as a transcultural philosophical source and as an essentially Hindu religious text, which have been in place since the twentieth century. Although there have been other transnational surveys and histories of the Gita's translation, this essay differs from them in positing a specific period of interpretation between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, during which time, it argues, the Gita as a received and translated text was significantly altered in certain specific ways which continue to influence its present understanding both in the West and in India.

Andreichuk, Ksenia R. "Notes from the Underground: Major Trends in Swedish Reception." Studia Litterarum 6, no. 1 (2021): 130–51. http://dx.doi.org/10.22455/2500-4247-2021-6-1-130-151.
Full textAbstract:
Notes from the Underground has become a relevant text in Sweden only since the second half of the 20 th century, primarily due to the emergence of translations and criticism, but also in connection with the construction of “the people’s home” (“folkhemmet”), which is what a Swedish person thinks about when reading about Crystal Palace. However, not only social ideas attract Swedish readers in Notes from the Underground; the problems of human isolation, desire, and inability to love another person more than oneself, as well as the worldview of a “paradoxalist” are also relevant to them. The multi-layered text of Notes from the Underground has not remained unnoticed either. The article examines several instances of the Notes from the Underground reception in Swedish literature, namely social and philosophical (Sven Delblank, Lars Ahlin), socio-religious (Birgitta Trotzig), existentialist (Lars Gyllensten), and aesthetic (Lars Ahlin). It is worth mentioning that even when referring to Dostoevsky’s work in social debates, Swedish authors almost never ignore its philosophical context or reduce the universal human issues raised by the novel to the purely social issues projecting them on Swedish reality.

Full textAbstract:
The phenomenological review of V. Izer's reading process in the context of «literary anthropology» is analyzed. The philosopher makes a distinction between interpretation and reception. The first, in his opinion, gives the imagination a «semantic definition», and the second – a sense of aesthetic, object. The first passes within the limits of the «semantic orientations» of the literary theory, and the second – within the limits of the cultural and anthropological context. The article deals with the philosophical analysis of the reception aesthetics. For the supporters of this theoretical direction, there is an inherent shift of attention from the problems of creativity and literary work to the problem of its reception or, in other words, from the level of psychological, sociological or anthropological interpretation of the creative biography, to the level of perceived consciousness. Receptive aesthetics gives the reader privilege in the «text/reader» paradigm and gives him the cognitive and affective ability to create his own text from this text.

Full textAbstract:
The paper aims to rectify the reception of Heidegger’s so-called “hermeneutic violence,” by addressing the under-investigated issue of its actual target and rationale. Since the publication of Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics, some of Heidegger’s contemporary readers, such as Cassirer, as well as more recent commentators, accused Heidegger of doing violence to Kant’s and other philosophers’ texts. I show how the rationale of Heidegger’s self-acknowledged violence becomes tenable in light of his personal notes on his Kant book, and of several hermeneutic tenets from Being and Time. The violence at stake turns out to be a genuine method, involving the appropriation (Zueignen) and the elaboration (Ausarbeiten) of an interpreted text. Its target, I argue, is not the text itself, as it was often assumed, but its reception by a community or tradition. Thus, that violence may well instill interpretive conflict, yet its purpose is to salvage a text from a conventional and ossified reception, namely, from what Heidegger regards as the authoritarianism of idle talk (Gerede) in a philosophical milieu.

Cognitive and methodological reference translation of the theory of reception
 The most prominent feature of the concept of reception in cognitive reality and literature is that it falls into a kind of conflict between existentialism and its philosophical and logical directions and conceptions. This led to the occurrence of ideological political conflicts in German thought with the Marxist system; which opposed the reception theory. On the other hand, we realized that the theory of reception gives great attention to attributing complete freedom to the individual in order to live his existential and cognitive reality; a fact that made the theory of reception a revolution against this system, which tightened its grip on the reader, making him directed by this compulsion for a long time in Germany. On the basis of these assumptions, the theory of reception built its critical and cognitive principles on the fact that the reality of the text is just an image without dimensions. Perhaps what prompted this kind of study and the cognitive vision adopted by the reception theory in its traetment of the cognitive reality, namely the literary text, its great interest in the merit of reception and the principle of perception itself. These principles, which became later the main pillar in the theory of reception, are perhaps the most important ones: the freedom of the reader, the making of meaning or the concept through participation, and finally the essential purpose of aesthetic pleasure.
