A study of Konstantinos Theotokis's fiction : from symbolism to realismLouka, Dimitra January 2002 (has links)
This thesis constitutes a study of K. Theotokis's fiction, which can be viewed as a tum from symbolism to realism on the literary level, and from Nietzscheism to socialism and Marxism on the ideological level. The study argues that despite Theotokis's changes in ideological and artistic orientation there is a strong link between his literary and ideological bearings. In fact Theotokis's persistently ideological concerns went hand-in-hand with the unceasing interest in literary developments of his original artistic mind. The study is divided into two parts: The first part discusses Theotokis's symbolistaesthetic production. The first chapter focuses on symbolism and aestheticism in the European and modem Greek context. The following five chapters examine Theotokis's Antijengides, To Vio tis Kiras Kerkiras, Pathos, Kosmogonia, / Hasi tu Kosmu, Apellis in order to evaluate his position amidst other symbolist-aesthetic writers as well as the connection between his literary choices and the changes in his ideological viewpoint. The second part discusses Theotokis's realist-naturalist fiction. The seventh chapter focuses on realism and naturalism as well as on their relationship. It also locates the period of time in which Theotokis's literary and ideological change occured and proposes a distinction of his realist fiction into rural ethography and ideological novels. The remaining chapters explore the relationship between the ideological novels (/ Timi Ice to Hrima, Katadikos, / Zoi ke 0 Thanatos tu Karavela, / Sklavi sta Desma tus) and realist-naturalist poetics and investigate the connection between Theotokis's literary and ideological changes of orientation.

Kostis Palamas as Verse Translator and Anthologist : a study of Ξανατονισμένη ΜουσικήStylianidou, Maria January 2015 (has links)
The present thesis provides an examination of Kostis Palamas as an anthologist of poems in translation and as a verse translator. Kostis Palamas offered the Modern Greek language a substantial corpus of translations, contained in his anthology Ξανατονισμένη Μουσική (1930) from poets working mostly in French, but also with a few samples from other languages. The anthology includes a range of poets who belong to different European poetic movements, mainly Parnassism and Symbolism. The methodological approach of this study is informed by recent work in translation studies. A multidisciplinary approach is implemented with emphasis on linguistics. This thesis first includes a survey of different types of anthologies in order to examine the nature of Ξανατονισμένη Μουσική as an anthology. Then, a drawing on the oeuvre of Palamas takes place to discuss his theoretical approach to verse translation in comparison to modern translation theories. Palamas' translation strategies and skills are explored through a comparative literary study on the macro and micro level between Palamas' verse translations and their STs. Through this comparison differences and similarities are highlighted on different levels (like syntax, grammar, style) with attention to the differences between the foreign and the Greek language and their verse forms. Palamas’ predilection for certain translation devices and mechanisms is also investigated. These mechanisms, as the title of his volume suggests, mostly have to do with the reproduction of music in verse. Thus Palamas' relation to music and his musical poetics are examined in a systematic context. This study verifies the nature of Ξανατονισμένη Μουσική as an anthology (in disguise) of translations made by a poet-translator towards the end of a long career. It also shows that Palamas' theoretical views on verse translation are generally in accordance with his practical strategies. The macro-level and micro-level analyses indicate that Palamas Palamises the poems he translates while keeping the special poetic characteristics of each poet. He respects the special characteristics of the STs and simultaneously acclimatises the foreign poems in the Greek culture. The consistent use of the demotic language in all his translated poems reflects his views on the Language Issue in Greece. Finally, the importance Palamas gives to music in poetry is also apparent in his translations, where the element of musicality is always prevalent, something that justifies the selection of the anthology’s title. The significance of this study lies first in the fact that it covers a significant gap in Modern Greek literature- Palamas’ role as an anthologist has never been mentioned and his translations have scarcely ever been analysed, reflecting the continuing lower status of translation in the world of Greek letters. It seeks to show that Palamas was an intelligent great critic and theorist of translation, with views that converge with the majority of modern translation theorists. Moreover, this study suggests Palamas’ paradigm for a successful verse translation practice, which has the creation of musicality as its main purpose.

Ibn Qutayba's understanding of quranic brevityMacKay, Floyd W. January 1991 (has links)
This thesis investigates the relationship between third/ninth century Muslim rhetorical exegesis of the Qur'an and the emergence of a stylistically based demonstration of the Qur'an's miraculous inimitability (i'jaz al-qur'an) in the fourth/tenth century. After first introducing the problem to be discussed, it examines relevant aspects of four interrelated disciplines: tafsir, i'jaz al-qur'an, Arabic literary theory and criticism, as well as Arabic grammar. Then the thesis explores the specific understanding of brevity according to the third/ninth century literary critic and exegete, Ibn Qutayba (d. 276/889), as found in the chapter of ellipsis and abbreviation (bab al-hadhf wa'l-'ikhtisar) in his Ta'wil mushkil al-qur'an (The Interpretation of the Difficulties of the Qur'an) as a representative example of this relationship. Through this examination of brevity, the thesis argues that the evaluative process involved in the stylistic demonstration of the Qur'an's inimitability, like the formal discipline of Arabic literary theory and criticism, possesses its technical origins within the philological Quranic studies of formative Muslim exegesis.
