The Catalan Canon 121 II Jordi Llovet The Catalan canon All the world’s experts who have devoted their time to establishing the canon of a particular literature, and literatures as a whole, have based themselves on three suppositions, which are seldom disputed. A list of canonical titles must be drawn up: a) on a historical basis, that is, by considering the tradition of the entire scope of this literature, from its origins to the present day; b) on an aesthetic basis, that is, by considering the formal and intrinsic values of literary works, and c) by looking at the correlations that can be established between texts from a literature in a specific language and the texts written in other languages which, nearly always as a result of their translations, are able to influence the way in which major works of iterature in the country in question are shaped. A well-constructed canon —such as the and Frühromantik onwards—, national different ones established by critics from literature, or literature in its own, different the English-speaking world in particular, language, has developed as a continuum of from William Covell’s Polimanteia (1595), causes and effects which can be perfectly to Harold Bloom’s The Western Canon defined and analysed, an interplay of reliefs (1994)— has no value whatsoever if the and contrasts, and even major revolutions author who has defined it has not taken (such as the one signified by the appearance into account this threefold dimension. of Petrarch in Italian literature, Goethe in As far as the first and second of these German literature and Baudelaire in French questions are concerned a priori, Catalan literature), but always forming a sequence literature is, unfortunately, in a situation in which the precursors explain their which is far from comparable to the one descendants. Aesthetics which were already encountered in England since Chaucer, in considered outmoded, such as French Italy since the Duocento, or France since neo-classicism, have even re-emerged Chrétien de Troyes. In these three cases alongside the boldest modern forms, as —to which we can add German literature is the case when we compare the French from the period of the Enlightenment poètes maudits with the Parnassians. 122/123 II The Catalan canon Jordi LLovet There may be clashes, sharp contrasts The Nova Planta decrees implemented and conflicts between the “ancients” and in the Catalan-speaking regions between “moderns” —the famous Querelle has not 1707 and 1716 sidelined our language yet faded away— however, the body of and, as a result, the literature produced these literatures can be presented with a from then onwards (as had been perfectly clear logic, and, more importantly, happening to a great extent since the uninterruptedly. Castilian-Aragonese alliance, a fact The case of Catalan literature is very referred to earlier) became purely different. It has an undisputed founder, symbolic and had scant aesthetic quality: the true father of the literary tradition, it is a literature which cannot claim to be Ramon Llull. However, as the centuries part of our literary canon, and if this has have gone by, this tradition has suffered ever happened, in a gesture of laudable a number of setbacks and interruptions patriotism, it has done so more as a show of such enormity that, even today, we can of benevolence rather than a result of a hardly talk about Catalan literature as a serious consideration of our literary output. literature of continuous goals, which send This void which in fact spans part of forth their own reflections and voice. the 17th, the entire 18th and much of Catalan literature is full of interruptions, the 19th centuries, gave rise to the and it could not be otherwise if we enormous problems experienced by bear in mind the vicissitudes of history our literature when attempting to put which have preceded all the forms of together a continuous canon, a sequence, our cultural and political lives since as we said previously, of causes and the end of the Middle Ages or the end effects.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

Literature encompasses all aspects of human life as in love and affection, friendship and loyalty, self-sacrifice, justice and cruelty, manhood and humanity, are concepts that have been emphasized in various forms in the literature of different nations of the world. Poets and writers have endeavored to be heretics in the form of words and sentences and to promote these concepts and ideas to their community. Literature is still one of the most important identifiers of nations and ethnicities that no other factor has been able to capture. As a rich treasure trove of informative and educational material, Persian literature has played an important role in the development and reinforcement of social ideas and values in society, which this mission continues to do best. In this article, we attempt to explain the status of Persian literature and its importance. Keywords: language, literature, human, life, religion, culture.

  • Modern Iranian Literature: the Historical and Present Development of the Short Story Genre
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, July 2016, Vol. 6, No. 7, 775-784 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2016.07.008 D DAVID PUBLISHING Modern Iranian Literature: The Historical and Present Development of the Short Story Genre Oydin Turdiyeva Tashkent State Institute of Oriental Studies, Tashkent, Uzbekistan The following article is about the historical overview of the Persian literature and the emergence and development of the short story as a literary genre and its prominent role in the modern literature of Iran. It discusses the origin of the short story in general and preconditions for the popularity of the new genre the Iranian literature of the 20th century, and also about the first successful collection of short stories that introduced it to the public. Also the development process of the short story and principle factors in every stage of its emergence as an independent genre of prose, as well as the thematic range are the main aspects among others to be analyzed in the article. It is historically documented that the Islamic state was established in 1979 after the fall of the Shah. And the very event had big impact not only on the social and political life of the country, but also on the cultural and literary life of the Iranians of the time. The significance of the revolution was such that it divided the literature to be known as the “pre-revolution” and “post-revolution” periods. Therefore this article is aimed to observe how this historic event had influenced the short story in particular and the distinct features of the works created during the two periods.

  • Explaining Variation in the Salience of Catalan Nationalism Across the Spain/France Border
    Explaining Variation in the Salience of Catalan Nationalism across the Spain/France Border Laia Balcells i Ventura Yale University (June 2009) 1. Introduction In 1659, the kingdoms of France and Spain signed a peace treaty by which a part of the Spanish territory inhabited by ethnic Catalans became part of France (the Treaty of Pyrenees). Since then, Catalan identity persisted on both sides of the France-Spain border. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries this identity was politicised and was converted into the basis of a nationalist movement that aimed at the political sovereignty of the Catalan nation; in other words, a national identity was created. However, neither in its origins nor today is the salience of this Catalan national identity homogeneous across the boundary: while Catalan national identity is politically and socially relevant in Spanish Catalonia, it is almost non-existent in French Catalonia. In this paper I analyse the historical evolution of the Catalan identity in these two territories, focusing on the pattern of incorporation of this identity into a political ideology: nationalism. My aim is to use this comparison in order to provide new insights in the large debate about the factors explaining Catalan nationalism, which has involved historians, sociologists, political scientists, and anthropologists during decades (e.g. Solé-Tura 1967, Vicen-Vives 1970, Linz 1973, Balcells 1991, Sahlins 1989, Termes 2000, Boix 2002), but where contributions can still be made. This is especially the case given recent theoretical developments in the study of nationalism. The main argument defended in this paper is that the variation in the salience of Catalan national identity in these two regions is explained by the characteristics of the historical processes of spread of mass literacy in France and Spain, namely by the characteristics of the ‘scholastic revolution’ (Darden 2007).
