V&R unipress GmbH Ingeborg Bachmann: Ce qui est vrai
Book SynopsisCet essai part en quête de la motivation secrète de l’écriture d’Ingeborg Bachmann et fait la lumière sur un certain nombre de mystères entourant sa vie. Il apparaît que l’oeuvre est placée sous le signe d’un dévoilement problématique : comment et par quels moyens littéraires mettre en forme une vérité indicible ? Les lettres à son mentor juif autrichien Hans Weigel, inédites et très peu commentées, révèlent une réalité insoupçonnée et jettent un éclairage nouveau sur sa relation à Paul Celan. D’une correspondance à l’autre se révèle une écrivaine malade, fragile, solitaire, mais douée d’une résistance et d’un courage exceptionnels dans la volonté d’arracher de haute lutte chaque page au silence imposé par un traumatisme refoulé.

V&R unipress GmbH Arabeske und Klage: Aspekte des Ausdrucks bei
Book SynopsisIn her forms, contents, texts and images Else Lasker-Schüler expresses performatively the possibility of the lack of expression. She describes terrible scenes in ostentatiously poetic pictures. On the side she herself comments and quotes constantly her own works. Both peculiarities stem from the same transmedial formal principle of the arabesque. The arabesque can not only serve as decorative frame, but also as hiding place to evade the prohibition of representation. The proof of this formal principle reveals Lasker-Schülers long underestimated influences of the Jewish scriptural tradition. In her arabesques Lasker-Schüler captures the precarity of the expression of distress and injustice her artistic expression implies the possibility of silence.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG FrC 21 Timokles
Book SynopsisFrom some points of view, Timocles departs from the norm of his time, and in particular from near-contemporary comedians such as Alexis, Eubulus and Antiphanes, and appears to be the most 'Aristophanic' poet of the fourth century. More specifically, in a period when political satire seems to have lost its vigor, he employs acerbic attacks against major and minor Athenian politicians. The fact that at least sixteen of the forty-two surviving fragments of his poetry contain explicit or implicit references to politicians can hardly be attributed to chance. Timocles' inventiveness and versatility are also demonstrated, inter alia, in his combination of different motifs, his association of mythical figures with contemporary personalities and his employment of a figurative language. The present volume follows the principles and structure of the commentaries of the KomFrag project. It includes an introduction on Timocles and a detailed examination and commentary of the testimonies and the surviving fragments.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG FrC 2 Krates
Book SynopsisText in Italian. Krates, one of the great poets from the first generation of ancient comedy poets, has already been assigned a key role in the history of comedy in Aristotle's poetics. But tradition didn't mean well with him. His work is only sparsely preserved. Almost half a century after the last monograph on Krates, Serena Perrone offers a new comprehensive analysis of his work. The Italian translation and annotation of the 60 fragments received made a significant contribution to expanding the image of the crate in research with numerous new findings.

Peeters Publishers Hellenistic Epigrams
Book SynopsisThis volume contains the papers of the 'Groningen Workshop on Hellenistic Poetry 5: Hellenistic Epigrams' (Groningen 30 August - 1 September 2000). During the workshop a first draft of the papers was discussed and commented on by an international group of specialists in the field of Hellenistic poetry. The volume contains a wide range of articles and thus provides a survey of current developments in research on one of the important genres of Hellenistic poetry. Several articles deal with generic aspects of the Hellenistic epigram, including the transition of inscriptions on stone to purely literary texts, others explore the function of the epigram in its social and cultural context or focus on specific groups of epigrams. The volume is the fifth of a series. Every two years a Workshop on Hellenistic Poetry takes place at the University of Groningen, the papers of which are published in the series "Hellenistica Groningana".

Peeters Publishers La Metamorphose Poetique Chez Ovide: Tristes Et
Book SynopsisCe livre se propose de degager les composantes qui sont a la base d'un art poetique singulier des receuils de l'exil ovidien, les "Tristes" et les "Pontiques"". Ces deux derniers ouvrages d'Ovide, qui presentent la metamorphose ultime du poete, sont fondes sur des ambivalences paradoxales faites d'images dominantes et de themes symboliques et incluant, en "mimesis", les fragmentations et contradictions formelles autant que fonctionnelles de l'ecriture. Poetique et rhetorique, ecritures generique et metrique sont autant d'axes d'interet majeurs. Une poetique de l'heteroclite et des alliances oxymoriques est apte a traduire le mouvement contradictoire et intermediaire qu'opere l'exil. Sont examinees ainsi les multiples manifestations d'une stylistique de l'heterogeneite propre a ces textes et capable d'evoquer l'univers d'une metamorphose ovidienne, tout a la fois dans la continuite et en rupture avec les "Metamorphoses".L 'intertextualite et l'autotextualite litteraires sont autant de champs d'observation privilegies, porteurs d'un imaginaire obsessionnel, et revelateurs des ondoyances qu'engendre la metamorphose ultime de l'exil: l'"experience" d'un 'je' mis en pieces se conjugue avec celle d'une ecriture, veritable representation mimetique des "membra disiecta" du poete.De cette parole "proteiforme", qui donne a voir une dialectique tensionnelle du poete, ressort, en texte cache, la pluralite d'ecriture d'un poeme "inepuisable".

Peeters Publishers La Critique Litteraire Chez Catulle Et Les
Book SynopsisLa place tenue par la critique litteraire dans les oeuvres de Catulle et des Elegiaques augusteens, ces poetes dont l'amour fut une des sources essentielles d'inspiration, peut paraitre surprenante. Mais cette synthese neuve, etayee par un examen a la fois chronologique et thematique des textes, met en valeur la vertu dynamique d'une reflexion critique qui permit a de jeunes createurs en quete d'eux-memes de dessiner progressivement l'arbre genealogique de l'elegie dont ils furent aussi les inventeurs. C'est donc un essai sur l'histoire d'un genre litteraire specifiquement latin oA' l'on voit aussi comment un ideal feminin et un ideal poetique ont pu coincider dans la societe en pleine mutation de la fin de la Republique et du debut du Principat.

Peeters Publishers Kinder Und Junge Helden: Innovative Aspekte Des
Book SynopsisDie vorliegende Untersuchung zum Motiv des Kindes und des jungen Helden bei Kallimachos thematisiert zentrale Aspekte der Kallimacheischen Dichtung: ihre intertextuelle Dimension, die sich in der Bezugnahme sowohl auf die literarische Tradition als auch auf zeitgenossische Texte manifestiert, ihre narratologischen Strategien und ihr poetologisches Potential. Die 'Verjungung' der 'alten' Gestalten des Gotter- und Heroenmythos lasst sich als aitiologische Strategie erklaren, die der alexandrinische Dichter in innovativer Weise zur Erneuerung der literarischen Tradition einsetzt. Ein reprasentativer Querschnitt durch das Gesamtwerk des Kallimachos macht anhand der jugendlichen Figuren thematische Parallelen und Kontraste zwischen jeweils korrespondierenden Texten sichtbar: Theseus in der "Hekale" steht Herakles in der "Victoria Berenices" gegenuber, Teiresias im funften "Hymnos" kontrastiert mit Erysichthon im sechsten "Hymnos", und die gottlichen Kinder der ubrigen "Hymnen" treten miteinander in Konkurrenz. Abschliessend wird am Beispiel der fiktiven Selbstdarstellung des Erzahlers als Kind und als Jungling im "Aitien-Prolog" und im "Somnium" aufgezeigt, wie Kallimachos mittels vergleichbarer aitiologischer Strategien seine eigene Position innerhalb der griechischen Literaturgeschichte definiert.

Peeters Publishers Past and Present in Hellenistic Poetry
Book SynopsisThe papers in this volume show how the past 'is present' in a variety of forms and contexts in the work of the Hellenistic poets and how these poets cannot escape dealing with it in depth, often in a creative and intriguing manner, which may help to give further meaning to the present as well. Some papers discuss the subject of past and present from a general point of view, others deal with issues of literary tradition and intertextuality or discuss the connections between past and present as they are used and established on an ideological level. The papers show that the past, though almost 'omnipresent', is never used in a purely antiquarian way. The Hellenistic poets clearly manage to link it to the present in a meaningful way and are able to use it to establish their own position in the literary tradition as well as in issues of ideological importance.

Peeters Publishers Studies in the Christian Latin Poetry of Late
Book SynopsisIn this volume twenty-two studies published by Willy Evenepoel in international journals and collections during the period 1978-2010 have been brought together, namely two general contributions (one about the study of early Christian poetry, another about the place of poetry within Late Antique Christianity), fourteen contributions on Prudentius, five on Paulinus Nolanus' Carmina natalicia and, finally, one on Dracontius' De laudibus Dei. The collection does not only enhance the availability of the contributions in question, it also allows the readers to get a better perspective on the interconnection between the contributions at hand. The author has added extra value to the collection by supplying indices and also by adding a large critical survey of the recent research on the subjects that are dealt with in the collection.

NUS Press Victorious Wives: The Disguised Heroine in
Book SynopsisIn Victorious Wives, Mulaika Hijjas uses tools drawn from literary criticism and gender studies to look at a previously neglected corpus of Malay literature in a new light. The relatively equal gender relations in Southeast Asia have long been presented as a defining characteristic of the region, but there are few detailed case studies of pre-modern women or women's literature to illustrate this point, and studies of women in traditional literature have of necessity relied on texts that expressed masculine viewpoints. The syair of the Riau Archipelago that are the basis of this book, six nineteenth-century Malay narrative poems, are a unique exception in that they allow access to women's imaginative worlds, and they provide a significant historical backdrop to anthropological accounts of gender in the Malay world in modern times. Victorious Wives engages with these poems not as historical documents to be mined for data but as complex literary works. In the story lines, the heroine disguises herself as a man in order to rescue a male relative, reversing and subverting the assignation of passion (nafsu) to women and reason (akal) to men that was commonplace of religious discourse at the time. The book develops a nuanced textual analysis of this material, and explores the interplay between social reality and literary fiction.
