Noah's ark for Literary Gourmets - STUDIES ΛND ESSΛYS IN COMPΛRΛTIVE LITERΛTURE

Ruxandra Cesereanu

Sinopsis

The present volume includes comparative literature studies
and essays that I have published in various journals over
the past twenty years. The authors I deal with are very
different: from Sei Shonagon to Franz Werfel, from Will
Self to Ludmila Ulitskaya, from J. R. R. Tolkien to Roberto
Bolaño, from Marie Darrieusecq to Andrei Codrescu, from
C. S. Lewis to Patrick Modiano, from Alasdair Gray to David
Mitchell. In the Addenda, I also chose to publish a separate
comparative study on the cinema of Andrei Tarkovski and
Lars von Trier.
I wrote captivated by the authors in this book, stimulated
by their worlds and ideas. By their faith in literature and
sometimes by their battle for literature. I hope that my
interpretation of each individual author will be stimulating
for the reader.

Sounds of Other Shores - The...

Andrew J. Eisenberg

Sounds of Other Shores takes an ethnographic ear to the history of transoceanic stylistic appropriation in the Swahili taarab music of the Kenyan coast. Swahili taarab, a form of sung poetry that emerged as East Africa's first mass-mediated popular music in the 1930s, is a famously cosmopolitan form, rich in audible influences from across the Indian Ocean. But the variants of the genre that emerged in the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa during the twentieth century feature particularly dramatic, even flamboyant, appropriations of Indian and Arab sonic gestures and styles. Combining oral history, interpretive ethnography, and musical analysis, Sounds of Other Shores explores how Swahili-speaking Muslims in twentieth-century Mombasa derived pleasure and meaning from acts of transoceanic musical appropriation, arguing that these acts served as ways of reflecting on and mediating the complexities and contradictions associated with being "Swahili" in colonial and postcolonial Kenya. The result is a musical anthropology of Kenyan Swahili subjectivity that reframes longstanding questions about Swahili identity while contributing to broader discussions about identity and citizenship in Africa and the Indian Ocean world.
