For El-Shamy, the performance of a folktale is of at least as much signficance as the plot. The tale teller's gestures, facial expressions, tone of voice, timing, all these elements are dutifully described as the tales unfold. This, I suppose, is all part of the academic discipline called "international distribution studies," and I must admit it does hold some degree of interest. I guess I'm "old school," however. I like a marvelous tale to be told simply. That way, I can supply my own winks and leers. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In this book Hasan M. El-Shamy has gathered the first authentic new collection of modern Egyptian folk narratives to appear in nearly a century. El-Shamy's English translations of these orally presented stories not only preserve their spirit, but give Middle Eastern lore the scholarly attention it has long deserved. "This collection of seventy recently collected Egyptian tales is a major contribution to African studies and to international distribution studies of folktales. In the face of the recent anthropological trend to use folkloric materials for extra-folkloric purposes, the preeminence of the text must be asserted once more, and these are obviously authentic, straightforwardly translated, fully documented as to date of collection and social category of informant, and for all that . . . readable."-Daniel J. Crowley, Research in African Literatures "Western knowledge of virtually all facets of contemporary Egyptian culture, much less the roots of that culture, is woefully inadequate. By providing an interesting, varied, and readable collection of Egyptian folktales and offering clear and sensible accounts of their background and meaning, this book renders a valuable service indeed."-Kenneth J. Perkins, International Journal of Oral History Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
