Magical Realism and the Fantastic Resolved versus Unresolved Antinomy

Magical Realism and the Fantastic Resolved versus Unresolved Antinomy
Amaryll Beatrice Chanady, "Magical Realism and the Fantastic: Resolved versus Unresolved Antinomy "
English | ISBN: 0367334267 | 2019 | 194 pages | PDF | 87 MB
Every reader of literature interprets the literary text on the basis of information they have acquired from previous reading, and according to norms they have established, either consciously or not, with regard to a work of literature. In this study, originally published in 1985, the author clarifies the concepts of magical realism and the fantastic, and establishes a series of guidelines that will allow us to distinguish between the two similar yet independent modes. The reader will thus be able to identify the implicit framework upon which the author of the fantastic and of magical realism bases their text.

Magic in Ancient Greece The History and Legacy of the Religious Rituals Practiced by the Greeks

Magic in Ancient Greece The History and Legacy of the Religious Rituals Practiced by the Greeks
Magic in Ancient Greece: The History and Legacy of the Religious Rituals Practiced by the Greeks by Charles River Editors

*includes pictures *Includes ancient descriptions of magicians and magical practices *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading "Whether true or not, men had trusted in and believed these things." - Strabo Magic today is the stuff of fairy tales and illusionists, something to titillate and perplex perhaps. But the prospect of "taking magic seriously" - despite the best efforts of occult movements in recent years, from the O.T.O. to the Chaos magicians in the 1980s - is still a very difficult pill for most people to swallow in the 21st century. This is not to say to disparage nor denigrate the efforts made by illusionists such as Penn & Teller or Derren Brown, who openly declare that what they do is to perform tricks, utilizing psychology and misdirection in order to entertain a willing crowd. These "magical practitioners" are artists well deserving of the name. In this case, taking magic seriously meant to actually believe in magic and take it at its word, outlined best in Owen Davies" summary of the anthropologist Max Weber"s thoughts on the matter: "[Magic] promised to give humans control over a natural world governed by spirits." This view of Weber"s could be (and has been) seen as some kind of definition of what "magic" is, or at least what it was to the ancient Greeks. Many scholars have tried and failed to isolate a clear definition of what "magic" is or was. Magic - as opposed to religion, personal or otherwise - is a notoriously difficult concept to pin down. In ancient Greece, "magic was not distinct from religion, rather an unwelcome, improper expression of it." In other words, it's important not to think of it as a different definition of magic but to instead understand how the ancient Greeks believed certain aspects of magic functioned in their world. Since there are no surviving accounts of any full, contemporary hypothesis of what magic was, creating a picture of their belief in magic requires exploring what cultural factors shaped their beliefs. Often, the best surviving evidence of those beliefs comes from magic's biggest critics. Most sources hail from the Archaic and Classical Periods of ancient Greece. It is in the Archaic Period that the ancient Greek culture, as people today know it, formed itself from the broken shards of the Mycenaean Palace Period scattered across the country after its collapse some 400 years earlier. Out of this formation came some early attempts at defining magic and magical practitioners as the liminal folk who were able to transgress the boundaries of the natural world in order to bring prized knowledge back to their mundane communities. In the same vein, it's worth analyzing the main critics of contemporary magic, namely the philosophers and medical practitioners of the time, since those individuals were not above "in-house" rivalries. The writings of philosophers like Plato indicate how magical terminology gained some of the pejorative connotations associated with it, and how those connotations were levied at rivals who, at least to the casual observer, appear to have conducted their business in a very similar way to their critics. Magic in Ancient Greece: The History and Legacy of the Religious Rituals Practiced by the Greeks looks at the various people, places, and rituals performed over the centuries in ancient Greece. It offers a picture of an almost impossibly foggy aspect of ancient Greek scholarship. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about magic in Greece like never before.

English | 2001 | ISBN: 1576751635, 1459626222 | PDF | pages: 252 | 1.0 mb
We live in the midst of one of the greatest technological revolutions in history, an era of deep-seated transformation-a macroshift in civilization, says preeminent scholar and futurist Ervin Laszlo. Its signs and manifestations are all around us, from the deadly HIV/AIDS epidemic sweeping Africa and the dangerous fire-trap sweatshops routinely killing workers in Bangladesh, to the environmental havoc created by genetic engineering, power plant pollution and mechanized agriculture. The application of new technologies has turned into a double-edged sword.
