  • The Gospel of Matthew

    A Hypertextual Commentary

    Series Libro 16 - European Studies in Theology, Philosophy and History of Religions
    This monograph presents an entirely new solution to the synoptic problem. It demonstrates that the Acts of the Apostles functioned as the structure-giving hypotext for the Gospel of Matthew. Accordingly, the Gospel of Matthew is a reworking of not only the Gospel of Luke, but also, in a strictly sequential way, of the Acts of the Apostles. This strictly sequential, hypertextual dependence on Acts ... Leer más

  • Kulturbegegnung und Kulturkonflikt im (post-)kolonialen Kriminalroman

    Series Libro 128 - Jahrbuch fuer Internationale Germanistik - Reihe A
    Kriminalliteratur bietet seit längerem ein Forum für die Behandlung schon ‚klassischer‘ postkolonialer Themen. So lassen sich die ProtagonistInnen vielfach als hybride Subjekte beschreiben, und die Suche nach ‚historischer Wahrheit‘ bedarf einer anderen Substruktion als der einfachen Antithetik von Gut und Böse. Darüber hinaus sind die im Verschwinden begriffenen ehemals klar getrennten kolonialen ... Leer más

    de Ryszard Nycz ...
    Traducido por Tul’si Bhambry ...
    Series Libro 49 - Literary and Cultural Theory

He demonstrates that these writers’ linguistic self-consciousness informs their ... Leer más
