New Perspectives on Arabian Nights

Sinopsis del Libro

Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, this comparative study of a selection of The Arabian Nights stories in a cross-cultural context, brings together a number of disciplines and subject areas to examine the workings of narrative. It predominantly focuses on the ways in which the Arabian Nights have transformed as its stories have travelled across historical eras, cultures, genres and media. Departing from the familiar approaches of influence and textual studies, this book locates its central inquiry in the theoretical questions surrounding the workings of ideology, genre and genre ideology in shaping and transforming stories. The ten essays included in this volume respond to a general question, ‘what can the transformation of Nights stories in their travels tell us about narrative and storytelling, and their function in a particular culture?’ Following a Nights story in its travels from past to present, from Middle East to Europe and from literature to film, the book engages in close comparative analyses of ideological variations found in a variety of texts. These analyses allow new modes of reading texts and make it possible to breach new horizons for thinking about narrative. This Book was previously published as a special issue of Middle Eastern Literatures entitled Ideological Variations and Narrative Horizons: New Perspectives on Arabian Nights.

Besides being a panoramic scan of the issues that marked the Spanish and European culture during the period between wars, this book expresses a defined will to guide the artistic Avant Gardes and to consolidate...

Pedagogías invisibles

Los docentes que asumen que la educación se encuentra estancada en un paradigma ya obsoleto tienen la responsabilidad de desarrollar la educación del siglo XXI. Este libro se sitúa en esa vía de transformación y propone, para la creación de ese nuevo modelo, descubrir y trabajar las pedagogías invisibles en el aula y entender la práctica docente como un discurso. Cuando un docente se da cuenta de que algo aparentemente tan nimio como dejar abierta o cerrada una puerta puede modificar de manera radical lo que ocurre en el aula, es que las pedagogías invisibles han empezado a ser parte ...
