Reid, Katie. "Richard Linche: The Fountain of Elizabethan Fiction". Studies in Philology 120, n. 3 (giugno 2023): 527–56. http://dx.doi.org/10.1353/sip.2023.a903805.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract: This essay represents the first scholarly assessment of the complete works of the Elizabethan poet and translator Richard Linche (fl. 1596–1601). Linche was interested in classical mythology, sonnet writing, and prose translation. He was also concerned with the burning literary questions of the 1590s and early seventeenth century. This article analyzes Linche’s sonnet sequence Diella (1596) and his love poem The Love of Dom Diego and Gynevra (1596), highlighting Linche’s use of ancient mythology as an ideal vehicle for exploring personal passion in contemporary poetry. It then turns to Linche’s English translation of the Italian mythographer Vincenzo Cartari, The Fountaine of Ancient Fiction (1599) , to illustrate how Linche deals with mythology as an inspiration for literature. Linche identifies myth as an appealing source for contemporary writing while displaying discomfort with some of its sexual content. Finally, this article discusses Linche’s An Historical Treatise of the Travels of Noah into Europe (1601), placing the work in the larger picture of his literary career and suggesting that it was a euhemeristic response to his earlier explorations of myth. In contrast to Linche’s earlier works, The Travels offers a de-personalized and desexualized approach to myth. By providing the first detailed critical assessment of Richard Linche’s oeuvre, this essay reveals an Elizabethan writer who was interested in what inspires fiction, particularly in the complicated moral issues surrounding the sensuality of classical mythology and the role of eroticism in contemporary poetry.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract The turn of the millennium has brought a revival of interest in the ancient Greek and Roman texts. Obviously, the legacy of antiquity is a permanent feature of Western literature and visual arts; yet, its contemporary manifestation has taken a novel form, that of a retelling. It is a new trend in which a well-known text belonging to the canon is given an unorthodox interpretation, which exposes the ethnic, class, and gender prejudices present in the original. Mythological retellings are often written in an accessible manner containing features of genre fiction, which makes the revised version palatable to ordinary readers. A characteristic feature of mythic fantasy is the shift of focus from heroic exploits to private life as well as putting previously marginal characters into limelight. The retellings are a consequence of new, reflexive research angles that have appeared in the field of the classics.

Abstract (sommario):
Ever since its origins, children's literature has dealt with frightening subject matter. The forms of such frightening fiction for children are, however, continuously changing. Retellings of classical mythology are a case in point as myths contain subjects that might be considered a threat to the romantic notion of the innocent child. As such, a focus upon the way authors deal with sex, death and violence in retellings of classical mythology reveals how the paradoxical impulses that govern the act of retelling – that is, a desire for preserving and challenging cultural tradition – alter under the influence of society's changing ideas about children and their literature. This paper concentrates on the rich and vivid tradition of retelling classical myths in the Low Countries. Shifts in the choice of pretext and in the age of the intended audience reveal a change of attitude towards frightening subjects in classical myths during the last decades. A closer look at retellings of the creation myths, dealing with sexual and lethal violence between parents and children, and the subject of death in the myth of Orpheus shows how the retellings of frightening myths range from unequivocal presentations as cautionary tales to demanding narratives generating unfixed meanings.

Abstract (sommario):
The present research featured the dog’s death scenario in twentieth-century American mass fiction based on Robert McCammon’s novels. The authors believe that the popularity of this scenario has its roots in mythology and precedent texts of the linguaculture in question. In global mythology, dogs dwell in the twilight zone between the world of the living and the world of the dead. Modern mass literature preserved this function of the dog as a guide into the other world. As a child extrapolates the episode of their pet’s death, they enter the threshold situation that triggers the awareness of their own death, thus providing access to experience available only at subconscious level. The authors review scientific publications that feature the concept of dog, give classical examples of American literature that shaped the etalon scenario of a dog’s death, and support them with episodes from R. McCammon’s works "Where the Red Fern Grows". Modern mass fiction adopted the etalon scenario of a dog’s death from a story by Wilson Rawls. This scenario presupposes obligatory stages of acceptance and coming-of-age. Any modifications of the etalon scenario result in stagnation or death of the personage.

Abstract (sommario):
Serial killers have been a popular topic in literature for centuries, appearing in works of fiction, non-fiction, and even poetry. In literature, serial killers often represent the dark side of human nature, and their stories often explore the depths of depravity and the psychological motivations behind their heinous acts. Examples of serial killers can be found throughout history and mythology. With all that the public’s attention is usually focused on the serial murders of the latest decades, with the historical cases still generally remaining in the obscure. The reason for that lack of publicity is that serial killers in antiquity are difficult to identify, because the concept of serial killing is a relatively modern one. One of the pleasant exceptions is a book by Debbie Felton “Monsters and Monarchs: Serial Killers in Classical Myths and History” published by University of Texas Press, 2021, 235 pp., ISBN: 978-1-4773-2357-1 (paperback edition). This article reviews the book and comments on its contents and style.

Abstract (sommario):
Fantasy and science fiction genres extensively use imaginary settings and locations different from realistic ones but striving to look real. Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, pioneers of the science fiction genre in Russia, actively exploited the potential of both genres in their early tale, Monday starts on Saturday (1964), which combines features of the two space types. The present paper analyses the principles of creating ‘mago-space’ in the book. To do so, we look at the spatial organization of the events involved in the plot and the personages’ ideas regarding space. The research will enable us to clarify the role of space in conveying the authors’ message, which in this tale is quite explicit. We argue that the space changes significantly within the book, accompanying genre transformations and the development of the protagonist. Since the tale uses ‘mental sublocations’ as the main units of spatial organization, each part is determined by a certain type of cultural heritage. In the first part, it is the mental space of folklore and classical literature, in the second – that of mythology and science fiction, and in the final – philosophy and science. Mental spaces that coexist and follow various laws form a narrative which turns out to be a journey to the described present in the variety of its forms.

Costa, Dyellem Silva da, e Tânia Sarmento-Pantoja. "VIOLÊNCIA E MEDO EM A ILHA DA IRA DE JOÃO DE JESUS PAES LOUREIRO". Narrares Journal 1, n. 2 (25 giugno 2024): 157. http://dx.doi.org/10.18542/narraresj.v1i2.16512.

Abstract (sommario):
This work intends to analyze some representations of violence and fear in the dramaturgical narrative A Ilha da Ira (1975), by João de Jesus Paes Loureiro. This investigation is built on the hypothesis that the character “A Velha”, the ruler of the island where the actions of the narrative are developed, is characterized according to the elements of the Dictator and strongly associated with Sovereignty. To account for this hypothesis, we use two formulations to analyze the narrative, namely: the relationship between history and fiction; the appropriations directed to the mythical imaginary as a response to the conflicting reality, associated with the history-fiction relationship. As for the story-fiction pair, we note that the narrative dialogues with a set of references to authoritarianism in the Amazon – the uprising of Cabanagem and the 1964 Civil-Military Dictatorship. In relation to the real-imaginary, intertextual dialogues with elements of classical mythology – the Medusa myth; and mythical-legendary – the Amazonian legend of Matintaperera. In this way, we consider some theoretical questions, to understand the study about violence and fear and its ramifications in the process of understanding and analyzing the narrative. In this context, our starting point is the reflections of Walter Benjamin, Jaime Ginzburg, Elias Canetti and Tânia Sarmento-Pantoja to articulate the studies of violence and fear in the literary work.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
Inspired by Vladimir Nabokov’s metafiction novel Pale Fire and with Joseph Campbell’s research in comparative mythology and religion in mind, I explore the act of mythmaking and the composition of metafictional text in this work of fiction. The myth aspect combines elements of Classical, biblical, medieval, Romantic, and original materials to form a product that should strike readers as both familiar and alien, demonstrating Campbell’s notion of the monomyth as well as the ongoing tradition of mythmaking that continues to captivate both readers and writers. The metafictional portion of the text emphasizes a reader’s relationship to a work of fiction, a scholar’s relationship to his or her scholarly work, and a subtext’s relationship to its primary text. Combining the texts encourages the reader to read critically and reevaluate his or her conceptions of genre in order to piece together the greater story of tyranny and rebellion.

Abstract (sommario):
Alain Robbe-Grillet's Les Gommes, Michel Butor's L'Emploi du temps as well as Claude Simon's La Bataille de Pharsale are all New Novels in which Greek and Latin "mythemes" play various roles in the reception of the text by its reader. These roles represent our object of study. As a result of the possibilities and, more specifically, the many difficulties involved in reconstructing the original mythological plot, the reader realizes that the mythemes form a sort of "secondary plot" which both reflects the "first plot" (the novel's narrative) and determines its complexity. In this way, the mythemes guarantee a certain balance in the reader's level of understanding. However, they still bring out important problems: for example, they contribute to the redefining of certain familiar classical concepts and to the production of manifold interpretative choices. It follows that the mythemes are instrumental in making the reader the privileged spectator of the reconstruction of the horizon of expectations.

Abstract (sommario):
This dissertation concurs with the Jungian postulation that certain psychological archetypes are inclined to be reproduced by the collective unconscious. In turn, these psychological archetypes are revealed to emerge in literature as literary archetypes. It is consequently argued that science fiction has come to form a new mythology because the archetypal images are displaced in a modern, scientific guise. This signifies a shift in the collective world view of humanity, or a shift in its collective consciousness. It is consequently argued that humanity’s collective consciousness has evolved from mythic thought to scientific thought, courtesy of the numerous groundbreaking scientific discoveries of the past few centuries. This dissertation posits as a premise that Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s supposition of humanity’s collective consciousness evolving towards what he calls the Omega Point to hold true. The scientific displacement of the literary archetypes reveals humankind’s evolution towards the Omega Point and a cosmic consciousness.

Abstract (sommario):
The Study Prometheus, for example loosely follows up the central theme of Hans Blumenberg’s theory of myth and mythology, the character of Prometheus and Promethean conceptions in scientific as well as imaginative literature (poetry and drama). The aim is not an elaborate reflection of all the variations on Promethean themes that were summarized in Blumenberg’s epochal book Work on Myth (1979). The author rather selects some themes from the works on the myth about Prometheus in Classical Greek literature (Hesiod, Aeschylus) and, at the turn of modernism, in German movement Sturm und Drang (Goethe). Most attention is paid to a fictional figure known as actio per distans (action at distance, with keeping a distance) and its variations from the distance between people and gods through the distance between people to the distance of an ageing poet from spirit of the age (Zeitgeist), to which he no longer belongs.

Abstract (sommario):
For centuries, classical myths have been celebrated as models of excellence. Initially, the study of myths was undertaken to understand culture by only being mindful of the fixed literal meaning of the text. In this context, the ancient myth of the Ramayan in India stood as a monolithic structure unquestioned since time immemorial. However, in modern times, when the deconstruction philosophy of Derrida rejects the idea of a fixed meaning as conveyed by a text, the latent meaning of the text arises to the surface. With the emergence of feminism, the unheard voices of canonical texts are brought to the limelight through the contemporary mode of mythic fiction. The mythic fictions undertaken for study—The Forest of Enchantments, Sita-Warrior of Mithila, and The Liberation of Sita—highlight myriad ways of deconstructing the character of Sita and other subaltern female characters who were initially construed under the androcentric dictates of the classical literary canon. Hence, feminist deconstruction of mythology by mythic fiction deconstructs age-old cultural axioms.

Abstract (sommario):
As we conclude this examination of texts that use particular topologies of the past in their redeployment of the classical world, one of the more pressing questions might be why the combination of the classical world and this short list of spatial metaphors constitutes such an attractive matrix for the working out of concerns about citizenship, agency, suffering, and the place of the individual within the family. While the power and perdurability of classical mythology is clearly part of the allure of neoclassical settings and characters, it does not by itself completely explain the utility of these frameworks to our various authors’ projects. After all, a number of the authors with whom our work has engaged—including Rick Riordan, Tony Abbott, Alan Garner, Caroline Dale Snedeker, and N. M. Browne, among others—have shown similar interest in other kinds of mythological or historical settings, in some cases emphasizing the position of the classical as merely one segment of a vast interconnected web of myth/history. Nor is it possible to say that that the privileged place of the remnants of the classical world within the canon of the West by itself explains the reliance of authors over the past century upon its familiarity or prestige....

Abstract Alberto Mussa (b. 1961) is the author of the novel O enigma de Qaf (2004, The Riddle of Qaf) and the translator of pre-Islamic poetry. Narrated by a Brazilian of Arab descent, the novel is set in the late fifth or early sixth century Arabia and tells the story of a fictional poet who is supposedly the author of a lost classical ode. The novel draws on The Book of a Thousand and One Nights and Tupi mythology to construct a parable of cultural mixture and hybridization. Premised on the idea of Oriental wisdom, Mussa’s literary project represents a conscious attempt both to discover his cultural roots as a Brazilian of mixed Arab and Indigenous descent and to establish a dialogue between Arabic and Brazilian literatures through translation and fictional creation.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter explores how lamentation operates as a covert means of revenge in Ovid’s Heroides, a collection of fictional epistolary poems written as though by women from Greek and Roman mythology to the lovers who abandoned and mistreated them. It interprets the fifth letter, in which the nymph Oenone writes to Paris, her former lover, as a letter of revenge that expresses Oenone’s frustration and anger. Ovid’s language and imagery alludes to events that await Paris in the dramatic future of the letter, hinting at her revenge to come. Countering the view that the female speakers of the Heroides offer a consistent view of women as pathetic and passive victims, the chapter thus shows how Ovid’s female letter-writers can exploit socially prized roles as a means of expressing their anger and preparing for vengeful action.
