Fantasy as ‘recovery, escape and consolation’ in the short stories of Isaac Bar Moshe / Elimelekh, Geula   Journal Article
Elimelekh, Geula Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Isaac Bar Moshe (1927-2004) was born in Baghdad and immigrated to Israel in 1950. This article deals with his literary world, which is split between realism on the one hand and fantasy, mysticism and dreams on the other, with both these planes reflecting his perspective on various existential questions. The article focuses on the short stories in his book Behind the Wall (1973), which, like many of his other works, are largely anchored in his private life and depict a bleak reality, with dreams and fantasy offering the only hope of escape into a better, more spiritual world. The article concludes with an analysis of Bar Moshe's stories in terms of the three functions of fantasy - 'recovery, escape and consolation' - as formulated by writer and philologist J.R.R. Tolkien in his book Tree and Leaf.

Good dalits and bad Brahmins: melodramatic realism in dalit short stories / Brueck, Laura   Journal Article
Brueck, Laura Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract This article examines the literary strategies that shape contemporary Dalit fictional prose in Hindi. Based on the analysis of two short stories by the prolific Dalit writers Omprakash Valmiki and Jaiprakash Kardam, it is argued that the contributions of Dalit literature arise today not only in the context of a social movement, but are increasingly apparent through the development of a new, hybrid melodramatic-realist literary aesthetic. New critical scholarship of Dalit literature in India is therefore needed to appreciate the ongoing expansion of such forms of literature across linguistic and geographical regions in India as a postmodern sphere of subaltern social protest. Such fresh analytical attention to Dalit strategies of artistic expansion and literary growth will undoubtedly enliven the hitherto largely bland sociological conversations about Dalit literature.
