La poesía de Quevedo al margen del Parnaso: hacia una edición crítica y anotada de la “musa décima”

AbstractThis article characterises Quevedo's “musa décima”, his poetry not included in the posthumous editions, in order to deepen its features and to consider the future critical edition of the whole. The limits of the corpus are still blurred, due to the abundance of poems of doubtful attribution. After a brief contextualisation in the complex transmission of Golden Age poetry, the catalogue of poems, their textual sources and outstanding literary features are dealt with: jocular matter and antigongorism, burlesque sylvas and poems of praise, which situate the author at the beginning of his career. Unveiling this “peripheral” corpus will have an impact on the “nuclear” poetry of Quevedo.

Genesis of Poetry and Heroic Epic

The article conducts a scientific analysis of the origin of poetry. On this issue, scientific examinations of opinions were carried out in works published at different times, and general patterns of the emergence of art as a whole were analyzed. Based on the research of scientists, an analysis is carried out of the manifestation of everyday needs and fantasies of man in the early era, which were prerequisites for the birth and formation of arts, including poetry. It is scientifically postulated that collective labor actions during primitive community construction, superstitions committed during the departure of hunters as a result of strong fear from the mysterious forces of nature, actions during the period of expulsion of harmful dark forces caused the rhythm of dance and melody. It is concluded that over time, these rhythms and melodies gave rise to initial samples of poetry. The genesis of the Kazakh heroic epic is associated with the emergence of poems. Poems of praise to hunters, forms of poetry reflecting heroic campaigns, served as the basis for the birth of epic. An analysis of works related to personalities who created early poetic samples and a heroic epic was carried out. In Kazakh folklore, conclusions related to the history of the emergence and formation of types of shaman (bucks) and storyteller (zhyrau) are differentiated. The attitude of bucks and zhyrau to the formation and development of the heroic epic is comprehensively analyzed and generalized scientifically.

Sheikh Reza Talabani and his Unpublished Poem in the Ottoman Archive

Studying the lives and works of Kurdish poets through documents and archives is an important practical step to clarifying the history of Kurdish literature. Therefore, the Ottoman Archive is an important centre to uncover the origins of the lives and works of Kurdish poets, scholars, and personalities. Sheikh Reza Talabani (1837–1910) was able to write poetry in several languages. He was the son of Sheikh Abdulrahman Talabani, a prominent leader of the Qadiri sect, who was an influential figure in the Ottoman Empire and had a close relationship with the central government and senior officials. From this perspective, this study focuses on the position of Sheikh Reza Talabani in the Ottoman Empire in the shadow of Ottoman documents, as well as the discovery of his unpublished poem in the archive, which is a letter of praise to the Ottoman Sultan. The importance of this study is that it was previously only known that Sheikh Reza made several trips to Istanbul, but through this article, it corrects several previous opinions and specifically discusses the timing of his trips to Istanbul, his rank, and the fame of his praise poem to the Ottoman Sultan. The study reveals the poem for the first time.

On “Savage Thought”: Gabriele D’Annunzio, Guido Boggiani, and Italy’s Transatlantic Mediterranean Empire

Critics have long debated the degree to which Gabriele D’Annunzio should be viewed as a fascist and an imperialist, a virtual daguerreotype for Mussolini. But D’Annunzio’s evolving investment in an Italian empire-state suggests that we should complicate our understanding of his links to fascism. This essay traces correspondences between “savage thought,” coming out of ethnographic anthropology from Latin America, and D’Annunzio’s “recovery” of Hellenistic Greece at the turn of the century. It examines three important moments in D’Annunzio’s literary career: his tour-de-force novel of scandal, Il piacere (Pleasure, 1889), his famous 1895 yachting tour of the Greek islands, and then the writing of Maia (1903), the first book of his epic poem in praise of empire, Le laudi (1903-1917). By reexaming these texts through a transnational lens, the essay demonstrates the global scope of the author's avant-garde literary project and considers its impact on colonial contexts across the Atlantic.

Poetry and the Prophetic Tradition: Al-Mushidd's Invocation of Prophetic Hadith of the Fire of Ḥijāz to Interpret the Contemporary Event

The eruption of a volcano in Hijaz near Medina in 654/1256 inspired many poets to create praise poems for the Prophet Muḥammad, known as madīḥ nabawī. The article focuses on a poem written by Sayf al-Dīn ‘Alī ibn Qazal al-Mushidd (d. 656/1258) that describes the volcanic eruption in Hijaz as a Prophetic miracle and praises the Prophetic miracle of foretelling that volcanic eruption, as narrated in one of his ḥadīth (tradition), centuries before it happened. By applying the speech act theory formulated by the contemporary philosopher of language John Austin (d. 1960), the article argues that the poet evokes the Prophetic ḥadīth and the event of the fire to praise the Prophetic miracle, perform prayer, and repentance to God. Additionally, the article expands on Suzanne Stetkevych’s application of Marcel Mauss’s (d. 1950) theory of ritual exchange to underscore the spiritual aspect of the ritual exchange in the madīḥ nabawī poem that involves the poet’s "praise/supplication/apology" and the supernatural gift of "intercession" on the part of the Prophet. The poem highlights the deep spiritual connection between the Prophet and his followers and demonstrates the power of faith and belief in the face of natural disasters.

Câhiliye Dönemi’nde Siyasetin Edebiyata Etkisi

Since there is no state structure in the Jahiliyyah Period, political situation is highly uncertain and mysterious. However, the political situation reached its peak with the Umayyad dynasty while still being present during the Jahiliyyah Period. It is a known fact that the civilizations of The Jahiliyyah Period are quite different from the other civilizations in the past times. Due to geographic hardships, it is impossible to survive in the Arabian Peninsula with a nuclear family. Thus, the people of the age were forced to live with groups of people who are gathered by kindred ship. These group created the concept of tribe as a social structure. A tribe is a small state in the desert who has a socio-politic structure more than just kindred ship. Tribe members live in the tribe they are born into and obey to its rules. In addition, the tribe members join battles, get their revenge, and internalize the honour and reputation of their tribe as their own. Each tribe has a leader, and the tribes are governed by their leaders. The term “tribe” also states the political organization inside the tribe. The spirit that leads the members of a tribe to take action against the hazards and act together is called Asabiyyah. The motto of Asabiyyah is “help your brother, tyrant or oppressed”. The people of the period were forced to comply with the rules and the politics that are created by the formation of tribes. Tribe life affected the literary works of the period. The poets of the period wrote many political praise poems to help their tribe dominate the politics, and many political satiric poems to criticize their enemies. In this article, political poems written in the Jahiliyyah period will be exemplified.

The Use of Norse Loanwords in Late Old English Historical Poems

AbstractThe use of Norse loanwords in Old English poetry seems to be restricted to historical poems in praise of prominent contemporaries. It is demonstrated that the few Norse loans in these poems neither contribute to the laudatory character of such texts nor serve as new, additional means of stylistic enrichment. Instead, the Norse loans in these late Old English historical poems can be shown to have been used to add factual plausibility to such poems as historical texts. This contrasts with the use of Norse loanwords in Middle English poems.

Italicis oris Germana in regna tulisti / Castalides

Italicis oris Germana in regna tulisti / Castalides. The reception of humanist poetry at Vienna university in the early 16th century. In 1512 Adrian Wolfhard (1491 – 1545), a Transylvanian Saxon graduated magister in 1511, published a lengthy hexametric poem (Panegyris, Viennae: Singrenius – Vietor) in praise of Emperor Maximilian I. The eulogy of the emperor concentrates on his humanist learning and promotion of humanist studies. Echoing Conrad Celtis’ famous ode, Wolfhard praises Maximilian for having introduced Apollo and the Muses into his German speaking territories. Apart from its emphasis on humanist studies, the Panegyris assembles stock items of encomiastic poetry, it lacks concreteness and betrays the author’s unfamiliarity with Maximilian’s actual political objectives. On closer inspection, its patchwork character results from a deliberate interweaving of imitations: Wolfhard heavily relies on the first epic poem dedicated to Maximilian and his father Emperor Frederick III (Helius Quinctius Aemilianus Cimbriacus, Encomiastica, Strassburg 1512), he furthermore alludes to a congratulatory address on the occasion of Maximilian’s election to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire (Ermolao Barbaro, Oratio ad Federicum Imperatorem et Maximilianum Regem Romanorum, principes invictissimos) and possibly to Janus Pannonius, Ad imperatorem Caesarem Fridericum Tertium pro pacanda Italia. Despite the clumsiness of some of Wolfhard’s adaptations, the idea behind them is not devoid of originality: By taking over slightly modified key passages from humanist predecessors Wolfhard evidently wished to put into practice the concept of a translatio studii; the textual transpositions were meant to be recognized by a University audience and should serve to illustrate the successful transfer of humanism from Italy to Vienna.
