Die Selbsterniedrigung Christi, wie sie Paulus beschreibt, gehört zu den zentralen Konzepten der Christologie. Sie wurde von den Kirchenvätern und den Ökumenischen Konzilien in einer Rhetorik des Paradoxes ausgearbeitet. Daran knüpften die christlichen Kulturen sprachliche, bildliche und andere mediale Ausgestaltungen an, die sich als Christus-Metaphern und -Metonymien beschreiben lassen. Mit einer Analyse unterschiedlicher Medien von Liturgie bis Alltagspraxis wird in diesem Band gezeigt, dass das Selbsterniedrigungsmodell für breite Bereiche des russischen Kirchenlebens, der russischen Kultur und Literatur wichtig geworden ist. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt den Übertragungen des Modells in nicht christliche Bereiche. So kreist der zweite Teil des Bandes um literarische Texte aus dem sozialistischen und sowjetischen Umfeld – von Nikolaj Èerny¹evskij über Maksim Gor’kij und Nikolaj Ostrovskij zu Venedikt Erofeev und Vladimir Sorokin – und belegt daran die ungebrochene Produktivität der Rhetorik und Ethik der Selbsterniedrigung.

Biographical note: Henrike Schmidt (Dr. phil.) ist als Slavistin wissenschaftlich und übersetzerisch tätig. Ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte sind Russische und Bulgarische Literatur des 19. bis 21. Jahrhunderts sowie Literatur und Medien. Main description: Graphomanische Laienkultur und Renaissance klassischer Regelpoetik, obszöne Gegenkultur und politisches Guerilla-Marketing - das widersprüchliche Kolorit der russischen Literatur im Internet verdankt sich dem historischen Kontext der Digitalisierung Russlands. In paradoxalen Wellenbewegungen konstituiert sich das russische Internet als autonomer Raum und marginales Experimentierfeld, als strategische Ressource im Kampf um die mediale Elite und die unterhaltungslustigen Massen. Henrike Schmidt eröffnet Einblicke in einen faszinierenden Kulturraum und diskutiert am russischen Spezialfall allgemeine Probleme der digitalen und vernetzten Literatur (Autorschaft, Fiktionalität, Medienwechsel). Review text: »Schmidts Buch [beeindruckt] einerseits durch seine Materialfülle, andererseits durch die Art und Weise der Systematisierung des Materials. Zudem hat der Band einen (literar-)historischen Wert, der in der Dokumentierung eines Zustandes liegt, der bereits heute nicht mehr ohne weiteres nachvollziehbar ist.« Doris Boden, Fabula, 54/1-2 (2013) »Es handelt sich hier um eine einzigartige Dokumentation, die freilich bei der Schnellebigkeit des Gegenstands in vielen Details bereits überholt sein mag, die aber der Literaturwissenschaft einen neuen Raum erschließt, um auf dem laufenden zu bleiben.« Klaus Steinke, Informationsmittel IFB, 5 (2012) Besprochen in: New Literary Observer, 118 (2012), Aleksander Markov

Set in contemporary Nagasaki, the six short stories in this collection draw a chilling portrait of the ongoing trauma of the detonation of the atomic bomb. Whether they experienced the destruction of the city directly or heard about it from survivors, the characters in these tales filter their pain and alienation through their Catholic faith, illuminating a side of Japanese culture little known in the West. Many of them are descended from the "hidden Christians" who continued to practice their religion in secret during the centuries when it was outlawed in Japan. Urakami Cathedral, the center of Japanese Christian life, stood at ground zero when the bomb fell.In "Birds," a man in his sixties reflects on his life as a husband and father. Just a baby when he was found crying in the rubble near ground zero, he does not know who his parents were. His birthday is set as the day the bomb was dropped. In other stories, a woman is haunted by her brief affair with a married man, and the parents of a schizophrenic man struggle to come to terms with the murder their son committed. These characters battle with guilt, shame, loss, love, and the limits of human understanding. Ground Zero, Nagasaki vividly depicts a city and people still scarred by the memory of August 9, 1945.

The »underground« is an artistic approach which reacts to the historical crisis awareness of the modern era with a radical »poetry of verticality«. The »Wende« (change) stands metonymically for the moment at which the social sense of security is lost, and the city serves as its experienceable manifestation's preferred topos. Alfrun Kliems analyzes this constellation with the aid of multimedia from the East-Central European underground, with special attention to materials from between 1980 and 2010 - including work by Egon Bondy, Jacek Podsiadlo, Marcin Swietlicki, Andrzej Stasiuk, Jáchym Topol, and Peter Wawerzinek, but also from the Club der Polnischen Versager (Club of Polish Failures) in Berlin and the Orange Alternative out of WrocÊaw. Alfrun Kliems ist Professorin für Westslawistik an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte sind Kultur- und Sprachwechsel, Literaturen des Exils sowie der Underground in Ostmitteleuropa.

A critical rethinking of theories of national imagination, The Dawn That Never Comes offers the most detailed reading to date in English of one of modern Japan's most influential poets and novelists. This book surveys the ideologies of national imagination at play in early-twentieth-century Japan, specifically in the work of Shimazaki Toson (1872-1943) Bourdaghs analyzes Toson's major works in detail, using them to demonstrate that the field of national imagination requires a complex interweaving of varied--and sometimes even contradictory--figures for imagining the national community.

Abe Kobo (1924-1993) was one of Japan's greatest postwar writers, widely recognized for his imaginative science fiction and plays of the absurd. However, he also wrote theoretical criticism for which he is lesser known, merging literary, historical, and philosophical perspectives into keen reflections on the nature of creativity, the evolution of the human species, and an impressive range of other subjects. Abe Kobo tackled contemporary social issues and literary theory with the depth and facility of a visionary thinker. Featuring twelve essays from his prolific career--including "Poetry and Poets (Consciousness and the Unconscious)," written in 1944, and "The Frontier Within, Part II," written in 1969--this anthology introduces English-speaking readers to Abe Kobo as critic and intellectual for the first time. Demonstrating the importance of his theoretical work to a broader understanding of his fiction--and a richer portrait of Japan's postwar imagination--Richard F. Calichman provides an incisive introduction to Abe Kobo's achievements and situates his essays historically and intellectually.

Anton Cechovs Dramen und Einakter werden heute auf den Bühnen der ganzen Welt gespielt. Diese Monographie deutet sie als moderne Variante des „theatrum mundi", als Spiel vom Werden und Vergehen der Welt. Im Zeitalter von Naturwissenschaft und Evolutionslehre bleibt Gottes Platz in diesem Spiel leer, doch die fehlbaren Menschen können nicht an seine Stelle treten. Das neue Zentrum wird gebildet vom Kosmos, der Raum und Zeit hervorbringt. Auf seiner Bühne spielen keine Helden oder Protagonisten, sondern eine Menschengruppe, angesiedelt an der Grenze von Natur und Kultur, die im Chronotopos „Haus mit Garten" konkrete Gestalt annimmt. Die Gruppe überlebt durch gemeinsame Arbeit, auch wenn die Ergebnisse der Arbeit von Verfall und Verlust bedroht sind. So entsteht ein Welttheater mit starken sozialen Akzenten, das keine Sicherheit, keine letzte Wahrheit mehr kennt.

This is the first anthology of Yuan-dynasty zaju (miscellaneous comedies) to introduce the genre to English-speaking readers exclusively through translations of the plays' fourteenth-century editions. Almost all previous translations of Yuan-dynasty zaju are based on late-Ming regularized editions that were heavily adapted for performance at the Ming imperial court and then extensively revised in the seventeenth century for the reading pleasure of Jiangnan literati. These early editions are based on leading actor scripts and contain arias, prose dialogue, and cue lines. They encompass a fascinating range of subject matter, from high political intrigue to commoner life and religious conversion. Crackling with raw emotion, violent imagery, and colorful language and wit, the zaju in this volume explore the consequences of loyalty and betrayal, ambition and enlightenment, and piety and drunkenness. The collection features seven of the twenty-six available untranslated zaju published in the fourteenth century, with a substantial introduction preceding each play and extensive annotations throughout. The editors also include translations of the Ming versions of four of the included plays and an essay that synthesizes recent Chinese and Japanese scholarship on the subject. Yuming He, University of California, Davis:These translations and introductory essays present the distillation, in a single volume, of decades of study by two leading scholars on the traditions of performance and textual reproduction and adaptation of Yuan drama. Their erudition and deep conversancy with these traditions is presented here in an accessible and engaging form that will benefit both specialists and general readers alike. Patricia Sieber, Ohio State University:This anthology, together with original introductory segments, opens a new window onto the urban milieu of the formative period of early Chinese theater. For anyone interested in not only the literary but also the performance aesthetics of traditional Chinese drama, this collection is indispensable. Tian Yuan Tan, SOAS, University of London:The most important contribution to studies on Yuan drama in recent years and a book that will raise and set the bar for future work in this field

Biographical note: LiuXiaobo: Liu Xiaobo, winner of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, is a Chinese writer and human rights activist.LinkPerry: Perry Link is retired from a career teaching at Princeton University and now is Chancellorial Chair for Teaching Across Disciplines at the University of California, Riverside. He publishes on Chinese language, literature, and cultural history, and also writes and speaks on human rights in China.Martin-LiaoTienchi: Tienchi Martin-Liao born in Nanjing, China and educated in Taiwan and Germany-has dedicated much of her life to advocating for democracy and human rights in China. Martin-Liao has authored and translated numerous books on Chinese cultural and social subjects, and frequently appears in the US and international media as an expert on Chinese human rights issues. She is currently the Senior Research Analyst and the Editor-in-Chief at the Laogai Research Foundation in Washington, D.C.LiuXia: Liu Xia, the wife of 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo, is a painter, poet, and photographer from Beijing, China. Since her husband's formal arrest in 2009, Liu Xia has often had to speak out on behalf of her husband in the public arena. When the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded in December 2010, its recipient, Liu Xiaobo, was serving an eleven-year sentence in a Chinese prison for 0incitement to subvert state power.0 These essays and poems not only chronicle a leading dissident’s struggle against tyranny but enrich the record of universal longing for freedom and dignity. When the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded on December 10, 2010, its recipient, Liu Xiaobo, was in Jinzhou Prison, serving an eleven-year sentence for what Beijing called 0incitement to subvert state power.0 In Oslo, actress Liv Ullmann read a long statement the activist had prepared for his 2009 trial. It read in part: 0I stand by the convictions I expressed in my ‘June Second Hunger Strike Declaration’ twenty years ago—I have no enemies and no hatred. None of the police who monitored, arrested, and interrogated me, none of the prosecutors who indicted me, and none of the judges who judged me are my enemies.0That statement is one of the pieces in this book, which includes writings spanning two decades, providing insight into all aspects of Chinese life. These works not only chronicle a leading dissident’s struggle against tyranny but enrich the record of universal longing for freedom and dignity. Liu speaks pragmatically, yet with deep-seated passion, about peasant land disputes, the Han Chinese in Tibet, child slavery, the CCP’s Olympic strategy, the Internet in China, the contemporary craze for Confucius, and the Tiananmen massacre. Also presented are poems written for his wife, Liu Xia, public documents, and a foreword by Václav Havel.This collection is an aid to reflection for Western readers who might take for granted the values Liu has dedicated his life to achieving for his homeland.

Nikolai Gogol, Russia's greatest comic writer, is a literary enigma. His masterworks have attracted contradictory labels over the years, even as the originality of his achievement continues to defy exact explanation. Fanger's superb new book begins by considering why this should be so, and goes onto survey what Gogol created, step by step: an extraordinary body of writing, a model for the writer in Russian society, a textual identity that eclipses his scanty biography, and a kind of fiction unique in its time. Nikolai Gogol, Russia's greatest comic writer, is a literary enigma. His masterworks--"The Nose," "The Overcoat," The Inspector General, Dead Souls--have attracted contradictory labels over the years, even as the originality of his achievement continues to defy exact explanation. Donald Fanger's superb new book begins by considering why this should be so, and goes onto survey what Gogol created, step by step: an extraordinary body of writing, a model for the writer in Russian society, a textual identity that eclipses his scanty biography, and a kind of fiction unique in its time. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary sources, as well as on everything Gogol wrote, including journal articles, letters, drafts, and variants, Fanger explains Gogol's eccentric genius and makes clear how it opened the way to the great age of Russian fiction. The method is an innovative mixture of literary history and literary sociology with textual criticism and structural interrogation. What emerges is not only a framework for understanding Gogol's writing as a whole, but fresh and original interpretation of individual works. A concluding section, "The Surviving Presence," probes the fundamental nature of Gogol's creation to explain its astonishing vitality. In the process a major contribution is made to our understanding of comedy, irony, and satire, and ultimately to the theory of fiction itself.

Long description: The ubiquitous Partisan narrative in Yugoslavia served well as founding myth of its newly united people. Its retrospective deconstruction has absorbed most of the academic attention for the Yugoslav Partisans since the break-up. This edition in contrast looks into the (hybrid) nature of partisanship itself as it appears in film, art and literature. It explores the Partisans in Yugoslavia in Partisan novels, films and songs, analyzes the - still ongoing - transformation process of the Partisan narrative and reviews its transitions into popular (visual) culture. ; Biographical note: Miranda Jakisa is professor of South and East Slavic Literatures and Cultures at Humboldt University Berlin.

Although Chinese narrative, and especially the genres of colloquial fiction, have been subjected to intensive scholarly scrutiny, no comprehensive volume has provided a framework that would permit an overall view of the tradition. The distinguished contributors to this volume have taken an important first step in making possible the consideration of Chinese narrative at the level of comparative and general literary scholarship.Originally published in 1987.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Besonders im Zeitalter der Moderne handelt Literatur nicht nur von Helden und ihrem Schicksal, sondern ebenso von der Macht der Medien, die auf die Beziehung des Menschen zu anderen sowie zu sich selbst einwirken. Am Beispiel der russisch-sowjetischen Literatur wird in diesem Band ein Medium in den Blick genommen, das in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts die private und die politische Kommunikation gleichermaßen neu geprägt hat – das Telefon. Anhand von Texten Majakovskijs, Bulgakovs, Èukovskijs, Mandelstams, Zosèenkos, Kataevs u. a. verfolgt die Autorin, wie sich die mit dem Telefon verbundenen Sujets und die poetischen Funktionen des Motivs im Übergang von der experimentellen Avantgarde der frühen Sowjetzeit zum sozialistischen Realismus der totalitären Stalinkultur wandelten.

It has often been said that the nineteenth century was a relatively stagnant period for Chinese fiction, but preeminent scholar Patrick Hanan shows that the opposite is true: the finest novels of the nineteenth century show a constant experimentation and evolution. In this collection of detailed and insightful essays, Hanan examines Chinese fiction before and during the period in which Chinese writers first came into contact with western fiction.

These captivating short stories portray three major periods in modern Korean history: the forces of colonial modernity during the late 1930s; the postcolonial struggle to rebuild society after four decades of oppression, emasculation, and cultural exile (1945 to 1950); and the attempt to reconstruct a shattered land and a traumatized nation after the Korean War.Lost Souls echoes the exceptional work of China's Shen Congwen and Japan's Kawabata Yasunari. Modernist narratives set in the metropolises of Tokyo and Pyongyang alternate with starkly realistic portraits of rural life. Surrealist tales suggest the unsettling sensation of colonial domination, while stories of the outcast embody the thrill and terror of independence and survival in a land dominated by tradition and devastated by war. Written during the chaos of 1945, "Booze" recounts a fight between Koreans for control of a former Japanese-owned distillery. "Toad" relates the suffering created by hundreds of thousands of returning refugees, and stories from the 1950s confront the catastrophes of the Korean War and the problematic desire for autonomy. Visceral and versatile, Lost Souls is a classic work on the possibilities of transition that showcases the innovation and craftsmanship of a consummate¿and widely celebrated¿storyteller.

Reading the life narratives and literary texts of South Asians writing in and about East Africa, Gaurav Desai builds a surprising, alternative history of Africa's experience with slavery, migration, colonialism, nationalism, and globalization. Consulting Afrasian texts that are literary and nonfictional, political and private, he broadens the scope of African and South Asian scholarship and inspires a more nuanced understanding of the Indian Ocean's fertile routes of exchange.Desai shows how the Indian Ocean engendered a number of syncretic identities and shaped the medieval trade routes of the Islamicate empire, the early independence movements galvanized in part by Gandhi's southern African experiences, the invention of new ethnic nationalisms, and the rise of plural, multiethnic African nations. Calling attention to lives and literatures long neglected by traditional scholars, Desai introduces rich, interdisciplinary ways of thinking not only about this specific region but also about the very nature of ethnic history and identity. Traveling from the twelfth century to today, he concludes with a look at contemporary Asian populations in East Africa and their struggle to decide how best to participate in the development and modernization of their postcolonial nations without sacrificing their political autonomy.

Written one thousand years ago, The Tale of Genji is a masterpiece of Japanese literature, often regarded as its best prose fiction. Read, commented on, and reimagined by poets, scholars, dramatists, artists, and novelists, the tale has left a legacy as rich and reflective as the work itself. The most comprehensive record of The Tale of Genji's reception to date, this sourcebook presents a range of landmark texts relating to the work during its first millennium, almost all of which are translated into English for the first time. An introduction prefaces each set of documents, situating them within the tradition of Japanese literature and cultural history. These texts provide a fascinating glimpse into Japanese views of literature, poetry, imperial politics, and the place of art and women in society. Selections include a recorded conversation among court ladies gossiping about their favorite Genji characters and scenes; learned exegetical commentary; a vigorous debate over Genji's moral concerns; and an impassioned defense of Genji's ability to enhance Japan's standing among the twentieth century's community of nations. Taken together, these documents reflect Japan's fraught history with vernacular texts, particularly those written by women.

Until 2012, Myanmar had been ruled for fifty years by one of the most paranoid and repressive censorship regimes in history. The military junta enforced strict reading and writing restrictions in line with their socialist ideology and was terrified of writers who could trigger change. A transition towards democracy has seen the worst restrictions lifted, initiating a new era in the country's literature and literary culture. Inspired by Ellen Wiles's hunt for contemporary writing while living in Myanmar in 2013, this book explores the experiences and recent output of nine Myanmar writers spanning three generations, featuring interviews and English-language translations of their work, along with political, legal, and artistic analyses. Wiles includes men and women, fiction and poetry, capturing the effects of political and cultural change as they rippled across different groups and genres. Her work contributes both to the study of literature and culture in Myanmar and to the general study of art under censorship.

As an especially beautiful and pure example of the archaic epic styles that were once current among the hunting and fishing peoples of northern Asia, the Ainu epic folklore is of immense literary value. This collection and English translation by Donald Philippi contains thirty-three representative selections from a number of epic genres including mythic epics, culture hero epics, women's epics, and heroic epics. This is the first time, outside of Japan, that the Ainu epic folklore has been treated in a comprehensive manner.Originally published in 1979.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

An exhaustive collection... The editors of The Columbia Sourcebook of Literary Taiwan have made a remarkable contribution to Taiwanese literary studies by reconstructing these literary fragments--the knit and purl of the deconstructed sweater--into a historical narrative of literary rebellion. Margaret Hillenbrand, University of Oxford:This landmark publication will become a guide and inspiration for anyone with an interest in the literature of Taiwan. The sheer range of its materials and the high quality of its translations make this sourcebook an extraordinary contribution to the field. Perry Link, University of California, Riverside:Remarkable for its intellectual breadth, this volume represents a full spectrum of views, including some that are flatly opposed. A valuable research tool for many years to come. Joseph R. Allen, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities:A treasure trove of writing that offers an intimate view into the complex literary culture of Taiwan across the twentieth century and beyond. In texts ranging from solemn essays and manifestos to diary entries and zany letters to the editor, one watches the ebb and flow of the central questions of Taiwanese literature. The selection and organization of the materials immerse the reader in the various 'debates' (lunzhan) about language, literature, and society as they unfolded in the public discourse within Japanese colonial modernity, Nationalist authoritarian rule, and the new civil society of post-martial law democracy. These fascinating primary works are contextualized with a variety of supporting materials, making the volume particularly useful for teaching the literary and s This sourcebook contains more than 160 documents and writings that reflect the development of Taiwanese literature from the early modern period to the twenty-first century. Selections include seminal essays in literary debates, polemics, and other landmark events interviews, diaries, and letters by major authors critical and retrospective essays by influential writers, editors, and scholars transcripts of historical speeches and conferences literary-society manifestos and inaugural journal prefaces and governmental policy pronouncements that have significantly influenced Taiwanese literature. These texts illuminate Asia's experience with modernization, colonialism, and postcolonialism the character of Taiwan's Cold War and post-Cold War cultural production gender and environmental issues indigenous movements and the changes and challenges of the digital revolution. Taiwan's complex history with Dutch, Spanish, and Japanese colonization strategic geopolitical position vis-à-vis China, Japan, and the United States and status as a hub for the East-bound circulation of technological and popular-culture trends make the nation an excellent case study for a richer understanding of East Asian and modern global relations

The early Chinese text Master Zhuang (Zhuangzi) is well known for its relativistic philosophy and colorful anecdotes. In the work, Zhuang Zhou ca. 300 B.C.E.) dreams that he is a butterfly and wonders, upon awaking, if he in fact dreamed that he was a butterfly or if the butterfly is now dreaming that it is Zhuang Zhou. The text also recounts Master Zhuang's encounter with a skull, which praises the pleasures of death over the toil of living. This anecdote became popular with Chinese poets of the second and third century C.E. and found renewed significance with the founders of Quanzhen Daoism in the twelfth century.The Quanzhen masters transformed the skull into a skeleton and treated the object as a metonym for death and a symbol of the refusal of enlightenment. Later preachers made further revisions, adding Master Zhuang's resurrection of the skeleton, a series of accusations made by the skeleton against the philosopher, and the enlightenment of the magistrate who judges their case. The legend of the skeleton was widely popular throughout the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), and the fiction writer Lu Xun (1881-1936) reimagined it in the modern era. The first book in English to trace the development of the legend and its relationship to centuries of change in Chinese philosophy and culture, The Resurrected Skeleton translates and contextualizes the story's major adaptations and draws parallels with the Muslim legend of Jesus's encounter with a skull and the European tradition of the Dance of Death. Translated works include versions of the legend in the form of popular ballads and plays, together with Lu Xun's short story of the 1930s, underlining the continuity between traditional and modern Chinese culture.
