At the same time, he serves as a mouth-piece for an entire youthful generation burdened by historical memory.

  • Transgression of Sexual Parameters in Lord Byron's Lara
    International Journal of English, Literature and Social Sciences (IJELS) Vol-4, Issue-6, Nov – Dec 2019 https://dx.doi.org/10.22161/ijels.46.20 ISSN: 2456-7620 Transgression of Sexual Parameters in Lord Byron’s Lara Dr. Savo Karam Associate professor, The Lebanese University, Lebanon “Sexuality is power.” (Marquis de Sade) “It is only by sacrificing everything to sensual pleasure that this being known as Man, cast into the world in spite of himself, may succeed in sowing a few roses on the thorns of life.” (Marquis de Sade) Abstract— The presence of both taboo and transgression has been pervasive in literature. Although a natural process, sexuality remains a mysterious reality, lying dormant under the linings of various literary works that explicitly insinuate at wild passionate love, uncontrollable desires and overflowing ecstasy. A flamboyant poet such as Lord Byron, whose poetry has gained erotic resonance, is no exception. In his Letters and Journals, he describes poetic creation as “the lava of the imagination whose eruption prevents an earthquake;” such erogenous metaphor reveals a lot about the poet’s sexual identity, passionate appetite and sensual creativity. Undoubtedly, Byron’s multifaceted sexual identities and complex sexual engagements assume a creative/mythical projection throughout his poetic art that crystallizes in his insinuation at epicene or third sex. To camouflage his ambiguous sexual inconsistencies, his predominant queer passion and protean desires, Byron implements his rigorous sexual fantasy and portrays transgendered sexuality in his tales and poetic oeuvre. This paper calls for a critical reading/rumination of a third gender incarnated in the sexually transgressive character of the foreign-born page Kaled who possesses queer psycho-sexual traits since s/he is transvestic, androgynous and pandrogynous.

  • U Wagner Dissertation
    The Transatlantic Renewal of Textual Practices: Philology, Religion, and Classicism in Madame de Staël, Herder, and Emerson Ulrike Wagner Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Ulrike Wagner All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Transatlantic Renewal of Textual Practices: Philology, Religion, and Classicism in Madame de Staël, Herder, and Emerson Ulrike Wagner This dissertation demonstrates how the rise of historical criticism in Germany transformed practices of reading, writing, and public address in the related fields of classicism and biblical criticism in a transnational context. In the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, writers on both sides of the Atlantic rendered these practices foundational to the goals of self-formation, cultural and spiritual renewal, and educational reform. In this process, Germaine de Staël’s De l’Allemagne (1814) played a key role in disseminating new historically informed modes of teaching, preaching, translating, and reconstructing secular and religious texts among Transcendentalists. I show that her cultural study epitomizes crucial characteristics and functions of the historically informed textual practices that Johann Gottfried Herder’s works articulated paradigmatically in Germany and which we find refracted in reviews, addresses, essays, and translations by many Antebellum American scholars, especially Ralph Waldo Emerson. By bringing together intellectuals from both sides of the Atlantic in the context of their responses and contributions to century-old classical and religious debates, this study presents a different perspective on terms such as individual autonomy or spiritual freedom that have come to be seen by the critical literature as paradigmatic for our understanding of the nineteenth-century relationship between German and American culture and its mediation by Staël.

  • Postromanticism:The Art of Passion
    Claudia Moscovici Some artistic movements happen organically. The Impressionists and the Fauves, for example, worked together to give expression to the same vision of Postromanticism:Theart. Their movement emerged naturally fromArt their friendshipof Passion and practice. The name and the aesthetic philosophy of Impressionism came almost as an afterthought, accidentally. Yet both the name and the concept stuck. An insult- ing word cast by an art critic about Monet’s painting Impression, Sunrise became the seed that gave this group of artists a more recognizable image. Other artistic movements happen prescriptively. The Surrealists would not have been what they were without the philosophical structure and sometimes dogmatically narrow focus that the writer André Breton gave to their art. Today movements can happen virtually. The internet connects artists from all corners of the world who would never have met, created together, seen that they share the same vision, become friends. This is how postromanticism hap- pened. 1 Before I met any of the artists, I had written about the values contempo- rary art had lost and should preserve. I called that aesthetic postromanticism and posted it on the internet; but postromanticism as a movement didn’t exist until one artist, the Mexican sculptor Leondardo Pereznieto, saw his art reflected in my words. Since then we have discovered through the internet dozens of artists who identify their art with our vision. A logical way to explain what postromantic art is about is to begin with its name. Surely with a name like postromanticism, this movement has some- thing to do with Romantic art.

  • Critical Contemplation and Creation in the Selected William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’S Works
    SRJIS/BIMONTHLY/DR. JAYASHREE SINGH (2730-2743) CRITICAL CONTEMPLATION AND CREATION IN THE SELECTED WILLIAM WORDSWORTH AND SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE’S WORKS Jayshree Singh, Ph. D. Assisstant Professor, Bhupal Nobles’ University, Udaipur. Abstract The study in this research paper attempts to elaborate the literary theories of the two eighteenth century romantic age poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The study will deal the poetic works of both the poets in order to understand their theories of poetic imagination, process and creation. It aims to discuss critically their sensibility towards the ordinary experiences derived from society, humanity and nature. It explores their power of balancing the poetic pleasure and creative process in terms of moral conceptions of the society and basic forms of life. Keywords: Poetic Imagination, Humanity, Nature, Poetic pleasure, Creative process Scholarly Research Journal's is licensed Based on a work at www.srjis.com Introduction The poetic creations through ages and in all ancient civilizations have been a process of imaginative and emotional outburst and pleasure. It is a result of choice of sequences, observations and events linked necessarily as according to the contemporary attributes of society and as per the poetic talent and reasonability of the poet‘s mind. In this process the poet is the perceiver, the maker and the speaker. Through his observation he collects external impressions of the world and his own experiences and the experiences of the worldly people are transformed with his sense of perception and contemplation into oneness and whole organic unity. Subsequently the poet makes the real-life experiences universal and of higher reality.
