Mi último artículo sobre Marlowe

 

Aunque quién sabe. Ha aparecido en uno de las revistas del Cognitive Science Network que edita Mark Turner. Y en otra de literatura inglesa. Me pregunto por qué no me lo han admitido en alguna de retórica, pues se centra bastante en una cuestión retórica, la del arquetipo o modelo sin par, o sin parangón, o sin paragón. Quizá lo debería subtitular, en inglés, "A Pattern of Paragons".

La frase que lanzó mil barcos al mar (The Phrase that Launched a Thousand Ships)

http://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=2428973 

 

Spanish abstract: Este artículo analiza un complejo intertextual formado en la obra de Christopher Marlowe y de William Shakespeare, en torno a la figura de Helena de Troya y de la imagen de "el rostro que lanzó mil naves al mar". Mostramos cómo Marlowe desarrolló una poética de la auto-alusión sutil, y un uso paradójico del arquetipo o parangón, cuyas posibilidades conceptuales y dramáticas serían reconocidas, extendidas y desarrolladas por Shakespeare.

English abstract: This paper examines an intertextual complex in the works of Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare, involving the figure of Helen of Troy and the image of "the face that launched a thousand ships". Marlowe is shown to have developed a poetics of subtle self-allusion and a paradoxical use of the notion of the pattern or paragon whose conceptual and dramatic possibilities were recognized, extended and developed by Shakespeare.

The Princess Is in Another Castle

En esta tesis doctoral sobre narratología cita la autora mi artículo sobre "The Hermeneutic Spiral":

Emily Joy Bembeneck, The Princess is in Another Castle: Multi-Linear Stories in Oral Epic and Video Games. Ph.D. diss. U of Michigan, 2013.

 Aquí el Abstract:  

My dissertation entitled The Princess Is in Another Castle: Multi-Linear Story Systems in Greek Epic and Video Games is an interdisciplinary investigation at the crux of two scholarly debates in classics and digital media studies. In this study, I offer an understanding of narrative that can be applied across media and across disciplines, reaching from the traditional practice of Classics to the new and developing study of games. With a perspective that incorporates both the past and the present, I present a theoretical model of story that provides new insight into the way we construct narratives and find meaning within them. My study finds the common thread between oral and game narratives by investigating and comparing their story structures and authorial processes. Bards and players do not fully create new stories, but neither do they only take pre-made stories and adjust them. Rather, they take pieces of narrative, scenes here and actors there, and combine them into a new linear sequence. Narratives of this kind, those telling a single story through many possibilities, are multi-linear narratives. In the Iliad, we hear of different histories of Achilles’ education, we see hints of other possible happenings at Troy, and we see familiar yet different events in the traditional tale. In games, players are able to choose different paths for their characters, experiencing familiar events but with different results and different actors. Richer meaning and more developed characters arise in the contrast and interplay between the two (or more) tellings. A multi-linear understanding of story as a system variably built from interchangeable narrative pieces allows us to see that meaning and interpretation of these stories is highly dependent on the audience’s awareness of other possible story paths. It takes many encounters with the story to fully understand all its possibilities and turns, not only because of its many possible interpretations, but because the story has many possible linear sequences within it. Through a multi-linear understanding of narrative, we can see that traditional notions of narrative construction are only part of the story, one dependent on audience members as co-authors of unique narrative experiences.

From The Secular Masque

 

 

 

All, all of a piece throughout

 
Your chase had a beast in view

 
Your wars brought nothing about

 
Your lovers were all untrue—

 
'Tis well an old age is out

 
And time to begin a new

Dos despedidas en All For Love

Dos despedidas en All for Love

Lo mejor de la tragedia de Dryden All For Love, y no es por ser cruel ni despectivo con el autor, es cuando acaba—su epílogo, y su último verso, "'Tis more than one man's work to please you all". Pero por ser menos injustos aún, tiene también otros momentos. Por ejemplo, estas dos despedidas de las dos heroínas abandonadas por Marco Antonio. Una, la once and future lover—

 Cleopatra

Then must we part? Farewell, my cruel lord!
The appearance is against me; and I go,
Unjustified, for ever from your sight.
How I have loved, you know; how yet I love,
My only comfort is, I know myself:
I love you more, even now you are unkind,
Than when you loved me most; so well, so truly
I'll never strive against it, but die pleased,
To think you once were mine.


—y la otra, la esposa, la ex:

Octavia

Yes, I will go, but never to return.
You shall no more be haunted with this Fury.
My lord, my lord, love will not always last,
When urged with long unkindness and disdain:
Take her again, whom you prefer to me;
She stays but to be called. Poor cozened man!
Let a feigned parting give her back your heart,
Which a feigned love first got; for injured me,
Though my just sense of wrongs forbid my stay,
My duty shall be yours.
To the dear pledges of our former love
My tenderness and care shall be transferred,
And they shall cheer, by turns, my widowed nights:
So, take my last farewell; for I despair
to have you whole, and scorn to take you half.

Biblio de Dickens

Quizá cuando comencé mis investigaciones en literatura, hace veinte años, pensé que me iba a dedicar a Dickens, pues sobre él escribí la tesina. En realidad luego pasé a Beckett, y le dediqué un puñado de trabajos también, y la tesis doctoral—pero lo que me iba en realidad era la teoría de la narración, que sobre eso iban mayormente mis tesis y tesinas, éstas y la otra que escribí sobre Stephen Crane en América. En cualquier caso sí figuran estos autores con cierta prominencia en mi Bibliographia Incompleta. Y hoy encuentro, procedente de ahí, esta bibliografía de Dickens, que ha ido a desparramarse por otros sitios.

50 sombras de la igualdad

Una conferencia sobre feminismo, literatura de chicas y postfeminismo, de Angeles de la Concha— que veo que tiene además canal propio de YouTube. ¡Welcome! Que cunda el ejemplo. Hasta ahora sólo Gustavo Bueno ha exprimido los medios como permiten sus posibilidades, e incluso más, en su caso.
