Rewriting the Hero and the Quest: Myth and Monomyth in "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" by Louis de Bernières By Tatiana Golban
2014 | 120 Pages | ISBN: 3631654596 | PDF | 2 MB
Although Louis de Bernières is a famous and important contemporary novelist, and his work Captain Corelli's Mandolin has been translated and sold all over the world as a best-seller, there are few academic studies that focus methodologically and theoretically on it. The book attempts to partially overcome this handicap by focusing on various thematic and structural aspects which have been practically ignored so far by this line of criticism. It targets experts and students in literary studies whose concerns are ancient myths and their contemporary revival and reimagining, and who are familiar with goals and methods of myth criticism and archetypal critical discourse, and especially with their current postmodern and postmodernist perspectives.

Revisiting The Educational Heritage Of India By Sahana Singh
2021 | 308 Pages | ISBN: 9390961084 | PDF | 4 MB
Long before the first European universities appeared, India already had multi-disciplinary centres of learning that fuelled a knowledge revolution around the world. This book fills a dire need to chronicle the great educational heritage of India. It describes a unique ecosystem which ensured that Gurus and Acharyas handed the lamp of learning to generations of students. As the author puts it, "When swords quenched their thirst and famine ravaged the lands, Indians still held on to their truth that there was nothing more purifying than knowledge." She has collated information from oral history, local lore, travelogues, surviving literature, inscriptions, salvaged manuscripts and accounts of scholars and laity. Historically, the book covers a vast time span from ancient India's traditions to the deliberate destruction of its heritage. It also outlines steps that can be taken today to incorporate the most relevant aspects of ancient learning systems into the current structure of school and university education.

Joseph S. O'Leary, "Religious Pluralism and Christian Truth"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1498281451 | PDF | pages: 283 | 7.8 mb
This is the second of three essays in fundamental theology-along with Questioning Back (1985) and Conventional and Absolute Truth (2015)-which attempt to reassess the status of Christian doctrinal language within the contemporary "regime of truth." Reflecting on the reality of religious pluralism as the governing horizon of theology today, it proposes that the very notion of religious truth needs to be rethought. In a dialogue with Derrida it argues that the effects of dissemination and différance have indeed unsettled any project of pinning down truth in a definitive, substantial way, while at the same time it defends the objectivity of concretely situated truth-judgments as more than merely an effect of the play of language. The Buddhist conceptions of emptiness, conventional truth, and skillful means-further explored in Philosophie occidentale et concepts bouddhistes (2011)-allow a positive religious significance to be found in this mutation in the status of Christian truth.

Religion and Drama in Early Modern England: The Performance of Religion on the Renaissance Stage By Elizabeth Williamson, Jane Hwang Degenhardt (editor)
2011 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 1409409023 | PDF | 4 MB
Offering fuller understandings of both dramatic representations and the complexities of religious culture, this collection reveals the ways in which religion and performance were inextricably linked in early modern England. Its readings extend beyond the interpretation of straightforward religious allusions and suggest new avenues for theorizing the dynamic relationship between religious representations and dramatic ones. By addressing the particular ways in which commercial drama adapted the sensory aspects of religious experience to its own symbolic systems, the volume enacts a methodological shift towards a more nuanced semiotics of theatrical performance. Covering plays by a wide range of dramatists, including Shakespeare, individual essays explore the material conditions of performance, the intricate resonances between dramatic performance and religious ceremonies, and the multiple valences of religious references in early modern plays. Additionally, Religion and Drama in Early Modern England reveals the theater's broad interpretation of post-Reformation Christian practice, as well as its engagement with the religions of Islam, Judaism and paganism.
