He is not only professional but also kind, considerate, and compassionate. It has been an honor and privilege for me to work with him and participate as a contributing scholar for some of his many projects. Deborah FillerupWeagel, PhD (The University of New Mexico) Roger Scruton once remarked that the defence of humane education requires the defence of philosophy, but that philosophy can only be defended if it has aesthetics at its heart. For his exemplary contribution to sustaining the richness and extending the reach of aesthetic inquiry, Ananta Sukla deserves our respect and gratitude. On the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday, and in recognition of a long and distinguished career, I am happy to send my warmest congratulations. John E. MacKinnon, PhD (Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) The world of Comparative Literary Studies and Aesthetics remains indebted to Prof. Ananta Sukla for his huge contributions to the disciplines. Among his many projects, in 1978 Prof. Sukla established The Journal of Comparative Literature and Aesthetics, in collaboration with René Wellek, Harold Osborne, MirceaEliade, John Fisher, Monroe Beardsley, John Hospers, or Meyer Abramsamong other founding figures. This biannual publication is one of the oldest ongoing journals on Comparative Literature. My wish is that the journal continues to grow and enlighten people all over the world under Prof. Sukla’s careful supervision. Asunción López-Varela, PhD (President of the European Society of Comparative Literature ESCL-SELC) BLANK ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This volume has been funded by the “Acis & Galatea. Research Project in Cultural Myth Criticism” (S2015/HUM-3362), led by professor José Manuel Losada (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), and is part of the academic activities carried out by the group research “SIIM: Research and Social Innovation”, led by professor Asunción López-Varela. We would like to give special thanks to professors Losada and López-Varela, for their support and advice in the edition of this volume, as well as to professor Ananta Charan Sukla, who, as chief editor of the Journal of Comparative Literature and Aesthetics, put at our disposal all the necessary means to make this publication possible. We also feel very grateful to all the contributors to this volume, whose careful and meticulous work has been essential for this project to come to light. As editors of this volume, we hope this collection of articles helps to shed more light on the concept of eternal return and to gain a deeper understanding of the complex processes through which myths are reshaped in modern times. OBITUARY Prof. Denis Dutton (9 February 1944 – 28 December 2010) Founder Editor of Philosophy and Literature University of Canterbury, New Zealand Prof. Ralph Cohen (1918 – 2017) Founder Editor of New Literary History Unveristy of Virgina, USA Introduction ANA GONZÁLEZ-RIVAS FERNÁNDEZ ANTONELLA LIPSCOMB Since the moment we are born, our lives are shaped by an eternal return. The passing of the seasons, growing of vegetables, and the constant succession of birth and death are some of the definite proofs that we live in an ever-lasting cyclical state. Even mistakes are repeated once and again since, as is commonly known, man is the only animal who trips twice over the same stone. The eternal return is a double-edged sword: it can be perceived as a blessing that ensures Persephone’s meeting with her mother and the earth’s annual blossom; but it can also turn into an extremely cruel punishment, a stone that comes down again and again regardless of the efforts invested into rolling it up to the top of a hill, as Sisyphus knows well. Nietzsche, in turn, proposes us to see the eternal return as a challenge and the only awareness that ultimately leads to a real liberation of the human being: The heaviest weight. - What if some day or night a demon were to steal into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: ‘This life as you now live it and have lived it you will have to live once again and innumerable times again; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unspeakably small or great in your life must return to you, all in the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned over again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!’ Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: ‘You are a god, and never have I heard anything more divine. ‘ If this thought gained power over you, as you are it would transform and possibly crush you; the question in each and every thing, ‘Do you want this again and innumerable times again?’ would lie on your actions as the heaviest weight! Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to long for no thing more fervently than for this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal? (Nietzsche, The Gaia Science, 1887, 273-274) Journal of Comparative Literature and Aesthetics, Vol.40.2 : 2017 The eternal return still both fascinates and baffles scholars from all over the world, who witness how the myth acquires multiple forms as new narrative modes appear. As a response to this phenomenon, all the articles collected in this volume try to analyse the various implications of the eternal return in modern times, covering the perspective of different nationalities as well as the expression it takes in different disciplines. In her article “Myth, Creativity and Repressions in Modern Literature: Refigurations from Ancient Greek Myth”, Lorna Hardwick reflects on the plasticity of the myth as manifested in works such as Margaret Atwood’s Penelopiad (2005) and Derek Walcott’s The Odyssey: A Stage Version (1993). As Hardwick pinpoints, these new versions of the ancient myths of Penelope and Odysseus, respectively, reveal certain elements that remained concealed in the Greek texts, namely Penelope’s guilt or the perspective of the maidens, victims of Odysseus’ rage. Other works, such as Tony Harrison’s film poem The Gaze of the Gorgon, emerge as examples of new memoryism, that resorts to myth as a tool to explore the darkest chapters of human History –in this case, the World War I.

  • Video Games and the Mobilization of Anxiety and Desire
    PLAYING THE CRISIS: VIDEO GAMES AND THE MOBILIZATION OF ANXIETY AND DESIRE BY ROBERT MEJIA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Kent A. Ono, Chair Professor John Nerone Professor Clifford Christians Professor Robert A. Brookey, Northern Illinois University ABSTRACT This is a critical cultural and political economic analysis of the video game as an engine of global anxiety and desire. Attempting to move beyond conventional studies of the video game as a thing-in-itself, relatively self-contained as a textual, ludic, or even technological (in the narrow sense of the word) phenomenon, I propose that gaming has come to operate as an epistemological imperative that extends beyond the site of gaming in itself. Play and pleasure have come to affect sites of culture and the structural formation of various populations beyond those conceived of as belonging to conventional gaming populations: the workplace, consumer experiences, education, warfare, and even the practice of politics itself, amongst other domains. Indeed, the central claim of this dissertation is that the video game operates with the same political and cultural gravity as that ascribed to the prison by Michel Foucault. That is, just as the prison operated as the discursive site wherein the disciplinary imaginary was honed, so too does digital play operate as that discursive site wherein the ludic imperative has emerged. To make this claim, I have had to move beyond the conventional theoretical frameworks utilized in the analysis of video games.

  • Appendix: More on Methodology
    Appendix: More on Methodology Over the years my fi rst monograph, The Nature of Fascism (1991), has been charged by some academic colleagues with essentialism, reductionism, ‘revisionism’, a disinterest in praxis or material realities, and even a philosophical idealism which trivializes the human suffering caused by Hitler’s regime. It is thus worth offering the more methodologically self-aware readers, inveterately sceptical of the type of large-scale theorizing (‘metanarration’) that forms the bulk of Part One of this book, a few more paragraphs to substantiate my approach and give it some sort of intellectual pedigree. It can be thought of as deriving from three lines of methodological inquiry – and there are doubtless others that are complementary to them. One is the sophisticated (but inevitably contested) model of concept formation through ‘idealizing abstraction’1 which was elaborated piece-meal by Max Weber when wrestling with a number of the dilemmas which plagued the more epistemologically self-aware academics engaged in the late nineteenth-century ‘Methodenstreit’. This was a confl ict over methodology within the German human sciences that anticipated many themes of the late twentieth-century debate over how humanities disciplines should respond to postmodernism and the critical turn.2 The upshot of this line of thinking is that researchers must take it upon themselves to be as self-conscious as possible in the process of constructing the premises and ‘ideal types’ which shape the investigation of an area of external reality. Nor should they ever lose sight of the purely heuristic nature of their inquiry, and hence its inherently partial, incomplete nature.

  • Another Penelope: Margaret Atwood's the Penelopiad
    Monica Bottez ANOTHER PENELOPE: MARGARET ATWOOD’S THE PENELOPIAD Keywords: epic; quest; hybrid genre; indeterminacy; postmodernism Abstract: The paper sets out to present The Penelopiad as a rewriting of Homer’s Odyssey with Penelope as the narrator. Using the Homeric intertext as well as other Greek sources collected by Robert Graves in his book The Greek Myths and Tennyson‟s “Ulysses,” it evidences the additions that the new narrative perspective has stimulated Atwood to imagine. The Penelopiad is read as propounding a new genre, the female epic or romance where the heroine’s quest is analysed on analogy with the traditional romance pattern. The paper dwells on the contradictory and parody- like versions of events and characters embedded in the text: has Penelope been the perfect patient devoted wife, a cunning lustful pretender, or the High Priestess of an Artemis cult? In conclusion, the reader can never know the truth, being tied up in the utterly puzzling indeterminacy of meaning specific to postmodernism. The title of Margaret Atwood‟s novella makes the reader expect a rewriting of Homer‟s Odyssey, which is precisely what the author does in order to enrich it with new interpretations; since myths and legends are the repository of our collective desires, fears and longings, their actuality can never be exhausted: Atwood has used mythology in much the same way she has used other intertexts like folk tales, fairy tales, and legends, replaying the old stories in new contexts and from different perspectives – frequently from a woman‟s point of view – so that the stories shimmer with new meanings.

  • The Bakhtin Circle and Ancient Narrative
    Epic, Novel, Genre: Bakhtin and the Question of History AHUVIA KAHANE Northwestern University 1. Mikhail Bakhtin has in the course of several major works attempted to characterize the literary forms of epic and novel, as well as the relationship between them. These efforts are important for the study of genre, and spe- cifically epic and novel, beyond which, however, lies a broader sphere. One should be careful not to oversimplify complex and detailed arguments or continuously evolving historical traditions.1 But as one scholar has put it, Bakhtin’s work proceeds from the view that ‘genres themselves are forms of thought that have made valuable discoveries about time, society and human agency’ (Morson 1999: 176).2 And it is fair to say that through Bakhtin’s arguments about the tensions between epic and novel we can trace his views on the historical development of certain modes of thought—or perhaps we should say Weltanschauung or Geist. Our reference to Geist suggests, of course, that Bakhtin’s work should be viewed within the context of a broad (progressionist) critical tradition that paid close attention to the historico- philosophical significance of artistic production, a tradition among whose members we may count, for example, Goethe, Schlegel, Hegel of course, Lukács, and Auerbach.3 Within this tradition, as in Bakhtin’s work, the gen- ————— 1 Bakhtin’s views on the relations of epic and novel carry different emphases in his differ- ent works. See e.g. Nagy 2002: 73–74. 2 Bakhtin 1984: 270 (cited in Morson 1999: 176): ‘We consider the creation of the poly- phonic novel a huge step forward not only in the development of novelistic prose … It seems to us that one could speak directly of a special polyphonic artistic thinking ex- tending [even] beyond the bounds of the novel as a genre.’ See also Adams 1998: 382– 384.

(Tony Harrison, The Gaze of the Gorgon) At the turn of the century the German Kaiser bought a retreat on the island of Corfu which had belonged to Elizabeth, Empress of Austria prior to her assassination in 1899. She had brought with her a statue of Heinrich Heine, German Romantic poet and dissident Jew, rejected by his fatherland. The Kaiser evicted the statue again, not liking what it stood for (subversive radical democratic Jew) and, while Europe prepared for war, claimed he was excavating the pediment of a Greek temple (of the seventh century and dedicated to Artemis) which featured a giant Gorgon sculpted in stone. In the poem-film The Gaze of the Gorgon, Tony Harrison traces the fortunes of the statue of Heine transplanted through Europe, to its resting place in 169 CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY OF GREECE Toulon, France.

  • Fashioning a Return to Africa in Omeros Srila Nayak
    ariel: a review of international english literature Vol. 44 No. 2–3 Pages 1–28 Copyright © 2014 The Johns Hopkins University Press and the University of Calgary “Nothing in that Other Kingdom”: Fashioning a Return to Africa in Omeros Srila Nayak Abstract: What are we to make of Achille’s imaginary return to Africa in Derek Walcott’s Omeros? Is it a rejection of Walcott’s ear- lier theme of postcolonial nostalgia for lost origins? Does it lead to a different conception of postcolonial identity away from notions of new world hybridity and heterogeneity that Walcott had es- poused earlier, or is it a complex figuring of racial identity for the Afro-Caribbean subject? My essay answers these questions through a reading of the specific intertextual moments in the poem’s return to Africa passage. The presence of allusions and textual fragments from Virgil’s Aeneid, Homer’s Odyssey, and James Joyce’s Ulysses in this particular passage of Omeros (Book 3) has not received much critical attention so far. Through the use of these modular texts, I argue that Omeros not only transforms the postcolonial genre of a curative return to origins and fashions a distinctive literary landscape but also imagines a postcolonial subjectivity that nego- tiates the polarity between origins and the absence of origins or a fragmented new world identity. Keywords: Derek Walcott; Omeros; intertextuality; postcolonial adaptation; epic canon; paternity Derek Walcott’s Omeros (1990) is an epic of Caribbean life in Saint Lucia and a retelling of the trans-Atlantic histories of descendants of slaves. Omeros’ self-referentiality as epic is signaled by its many ad- aptations of Homeric proper names, plot, and themes to structure a comparison between Aegean narratives of the Iliad and the Odyssey and black diasporic experiences in the West Indies.

Lateiner: The Suitors' Take: Manners and Power in Ithaka The Suitors' Take: Manners and Power in Ithaka by DONALD LATEINER 1. Introduction HIS ESSAY EXAMINES "give and take" behaviors of the suitors, men of T acknowledged stature still inadequately examined by modern critics. The approach owes a debt to the social or human "sciences" of social psychology, historical anthropology, and comparative economics. I employ categories of nonverbal behavior, of social order and face-to-face interaction, and models of distributive reciprocity including gift-exchange. These tools for analyzing practices and habits that structure communities less and more complex than our own clarify heroic power and prestige and their absence. 1 These pages explore institutions of ubiquitous influence, characters of some depth, and situations ofsufficient complexity and significance. This exploration of elite ideology, of "what goes without saying," these quotidian values with which all comply complaint-free, shows how those in power "extortthe essential while seeming to demand the insignificant." It also addresses lesser phenomena, gestures and apparently off-handed comments in a carefully plotted text. This is a narrative "one of whose central themes..

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Telemachus in Ithaca: Delimitation of Identity Frontiers in the Ancient Iron Age (XII-VIII BC) By Ana Penha Gabrecht Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Brazil Abstract- In this article, we will try to understand how the description of space in Homer's Odyssey contributes to the delimitation of an Hellenic identity during the ancient Iron Age. We will first analyze the first book of the so-called Telemachia, part of the Odyssey that narrates the journey of Telemachus, Odysseus' son, to the kingdoms of Sparta and Pylos in search of news of his missing father. We believe that the young Ithacan's journey will help us in our task of understanding the way through which the Greeks saw the place (topos) where they lived and what makes of it a place of identity (isotopia).
