The fall in so-called 'literary' studies can be explained by the dominance in these studies of research on traditional texts. The orientalist approach continues to prevail, with a focus on texts coming from the Arab world but written in French. Most of the work is still based on an old problem, which poses a break between old and modern literature, which is due to the imitation of western productions. Without much reflection on their methodology, the analyses are based on naïve sociology of the texts, favouring their political dimension at the expense of their aesthetic characteristics. In order to break these gaps, it would be necessary to address new approaches which recognise, as a starting point, the profound restructuring of the literary field at the time of the Arab Renaissance (Nahda), in an explanatory purpose which is no longer dominated by the Western paradigm while remaining attentive to the 'acculturation to the printing of work in these societies'. With a view to this new symbolic economy, the first stories of the Arabic printed book should be extended, compared to its readership, to the written market and the new 'literary fact' that allows the birth of the modern Arabic writer. Breaking with the literary doxa which dominates the assessment of works would be possible through better knowledge of their reception and social uses. ; International audience ; The fall in so-called 'literary' studies can be explained by the dominance in these studies of research on traditional texts.

Papers presented at a national seminar held at Bodh Gaya in 2004

Mi intención en este estudio consiste en analizar el tratamiento de la figura salvaje de la loba en El cruce de Cormac McCarthy y Mujeres que corren con los lobos de Clarisa Pinkola Estés desde una perspectiva ecocrítica y ecofeminista. Pretendo en estas páginas aportar una visión actual del estado de una tradición literaria norteamericana que se ha centrado o bien en romantizar o demonizar la figura del lobo. Además, quiero llamar la atención sobre la cuestión del activismo medioambiental y la respuesta de la sociedad actual que se define, sobre todo, en acciones manifiestas contra el intento deliberado de grupos de cazadores y gobiernos locales de exterminar la especie, por culpa de sus ataques y el daño que causan al ganado. En el estudio psicoanalítico de Estés, el lobo se presenta como una figura liberadora, empoderada con su salvajismo, y desafiando una tradición de opresión patriarcal sobre las mujeres implantada en el subconsciente femenino tal y como ha sido trasmitida en la literatura tradicional. ; Taking as a point of departure The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy, the treatment of the wild figure of the "she" wolf and Clarisa Pinkola Estes's Women Who Run with the Wolves, it is my aim to apply an ecocritical and ecofeminist perspective to the study of the current status of the tradition that has focused on romanticizing or demonizing the figure of the wolf in American literature. It is also my intention to call attention to the current social responses of environmental activism with multiple demonstrations against the deliberate attempt of hunters and even local governments to exterminate the species because of the repeated attacks inflicted to cattle. In Estés' psychoanalytical study, the wolf works as a liberating figure, empowered with wildness, defying a tradition of patriarchal oppression for women, embedded in the common female unconscious as it is sanctioned in traditional literature.

Dieser Band untersucht die Themen 'Bewegung und Wandel' in verschiedenen Gesellschaften. Die einzelnen Kapitel befassen sich mit räumlichen und zeitlichen Mobilitäten in der Sprache, Literatur, Kultur und Gesellschaft. Das Thema wird aus theoretischer, kritischer, historischer und praktischer Perspektive beleuchtet, indem teils kontroverse Themen wie politische Bewegungen, Identität, Körperbilder, Sexualität und Gewalt kritisch beleuchtet werden. Der Band trägt so zum Verständnis der sich ändernden Bedingungen und der verschiedenen Funktionen von Gesellschaften bei.
