Resumo: Este artigo analisa os contos “O caminho do vento” e o “O nômade e a víbora”, publicados por Amos Oz em 1965, e o conto “O casamento de Gália”, publicado por Avraham B. Yehoshua em 1970, à luz de alguns aspectos teóricos postulados por Walter Benjamin como “alegoria”, “narrativa”, “obra épica”, entre outros. Os três textos surgem no Brasil na coletânea O novo conto israelense (1978), organizado por Rifka Berezin. Nas narrativas é possível vislumbrar algumas imagens surrealistas e expressionistas, bem como um sentido de personagem moderno que demonstra a crise do homem no século XX, tal como proposto por Benjamin. Como isso acontece em um só texto? As reflexões sobre os contos de Oz e de Yehoshua, lidos à luz de Walter Benjamin e de suas proposições sobre a vanguarda europeia, se revelam apropriadas, assim, para seavaliar essas e outras questões presentes nas narrativas.Palavras-chave: Amos Oz; Avraham B. Yehoshua; Walter Benjamin.Abstract: This article examines the short stories “The way of the wind” and “Nomad and viper”, published by Amos Oz in 1965, and the short story “Gallia’s wedding”, published by Avraham B. Yehoshua in 1970, in the light of some theoretical aspects postulated by Walter Benjamin as “allegory”, “narrative”, “epic work”, among others. The three texts appeared in Brazil in O novo conto israelense (1978), organized by Rifka Berezin. The narratives show some surrealist and expressionist images, as well as a sense of modern character that demonstrates the crisis of man in the 20th century, as proposed by Benjamin.How does it happen in a single text? The reflections on the tales of Oz and Yehoshua, read in the light of Benjamin’s propositions on the European vanguard, are appropriate, therefore, to evaluate these and other issues present in the narrative.Keywords: Amos Oz; Avraham B. Yehoshua; Walter Benjamin.

Among the exodus of Uruguayan artists and intellectuals described by Hortensia Campanella (p 29) is Jorge Musto. whose short story ‘Pale Browns and Yellows’ we published in Index on Censorship 2/1981. As actor, theatre director and journalist, Jorge Musto was associated with the two best-known standard bearers of the rich cultural movement which blossomed in Uruguay before the 1973 military coup: the El Galpón theatre company (Index on Censorship 2/1977 and 2/1979) and the weekly magazine Marcha (4/1974 and 2/1979). He has published several novels and short stories, and now works as a translator in Paris, having fallen victim in 1972 to the repression which paved the way for the final military takeover. It was in Paris that the following interview was carried out in February 1981 by Index on Censorship's Latin America researcher.

Comprehensive Coverage

The study of short stories in Jordan in the early 60-80s of the 20th century shows that the problem of Palestine is one of the leading topics, received a deeper and more comprehensive coverage in their works. A characteristic side of the short story writers of Jordan 70-80s is that they take a biased anti-Israeli position. During this period, the writers create the short story which possesses a new form and content. It should be noted that the anti-Israeli position is characteristic of the short stories of Ilias Farquh, where the writer’s short story “Abo, illuminating the silence”, discusses the theme of the Palestinians who have become refugees in their homeland.

The short story is the only genre that can be considered uniquely American. The genre began as sketches, or tales, as in the classic tale “Rip Van Winkle.” The genre remained undefined until Edgar Allan Poe’s well-known 1842 review of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Twice-Told Tales. Since Poe’s review, in which he distinguished short fiction from other genres, the American short story has evolved both in form and in content. Like other genres, the short story has evolved through various movements and traditions such as realism, modernism, and postmodernism; however, it has remained unique because of publishing opportunities that differ from longer works such as the novel. The short story genre shares elements of fiction with the novel, traditionally consisting of characteristics such as plot, character, setting, point of view, theme, and writing style. Although the short story shares elements of literature and writing devices with other literary genres, avenues for publication differ greatly. Unlike a novel, a short story is not published as a single entity. It is usually presented with works by other authors in a journal or magazine or in a collection of previously published stories by one author. The rise in popular magazines during the 1920s gave rise to the short story, as the magazines provided a publication outlet. During the second half of the 20th century the short story became less commercial and more literary, paving the way for artistic stories such as one appropriately called “The New Yorker Story.” However, as it became less commercial, the short story fell from popularity and became somewhat obscure in the manner in which poetry remains. Because short stories do not sell, publishers are hesitant to produce them. But during the 1970s, American universities began teaching creative writing classes, and the short story provided a suitable genre for teaching the art of fiction writing. Hence, the American short story experienced a renaissance, and a wave of literary journals emerged. About this time, minimalism was one of the styles most often used in the short story. Raymond Carver built on what Ernest Hemingway had started in America, and the short story took on a new form. During the latter half of the 20th century and early 21st century, women and ethnic writers were given more opportunities to publish short fiction, and the short story reflected progress in civil rights issues. Currently, the rise in technological advances has brought even more opportunities for publication, and more and more American authors are publishing short stories online, now a respected publication venue.

<p><em>This article focuses on the theory of German philosopher and literature critic Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) on the role of children</em><em>’</em><em>s literature and the degree by which his aesthetical theory, as expressed in the early 20th century, may be applied in modern education. Particularly in preschool ages, children’s literature plays a defining role in children</em><em>’</em><em>s development, stimulating learning memory and providing the foundations for the child</em><em>’</em><em>s perception of the world around him/her. Children</em><em>’</em><em>s literature and illustrations of children’s books, introduce children in learning and writing. In his theory, Benjamin describes how literature, and in particular the magic perceived by children’s mentality in fairytale, can and should be an integral part of education that does not apply standardized pedagogic norms or psychological interpretations, but promotes the way in which the child observes the world, imagination and intuitive perception.</em></p>

Abstract The short story of “Araby” by James Joyce was published in 1914 in Dubliners which is a collection of fifteen short stories set in the Dublin city of Northern Ireland. “Araby” is one of those short stories in which traces of the colonization of Ireland by the Great Britain in the nineteenth century can be found. Since the context of the short story is set in Dublin, analyzing it in light of post-colonial theory has made it a special case. Because despite the majority of literary works which are analyzed in light of post-colonial theory and in which the contrast between east and west geographically is quite visible, in “Araby” this contrast is not clear-cut and the culture of two neighbor countries are so close and as a consequent so difficult to claim cultural and religious colonization by a neighbor country. This essay investigates the way Joyce has portrayed the cultural, political, economic and social domination of Britain over Ireland, specifically Dublin. The essay also explores the context where Joyce had the motivation to write Dubliners and shows the fundamental principles of post-colonialism such as language, the notion of superior/inferior, cultural polyvalency, Self/Other and the critical tenets of Homi K. Bhabha including mimicry, liminality or hybridity and finds these tenets within this short story. The essay also investigates the way James Joyce has employed symbolism in order to portray his reaction to the domination of Britain over Ireland.

There is a growing recognition of the way in which the agenda of Western scholarship on China, particularly on 20th-century China, has been shaped or influenced by what we might identify as a Chinese agenda of political correctness. The neglect of the first 11 years of publication of the Short Story Magazine (Xiaoshuo yuebao) (1910–1921), and its dismissal as simply purveying superficial popular entertainment, is a case in point.

German Shortest Story: A Narratological Analysis of Chosen „Short Short Stories” by Kerstin Hensel and Heiner Feldhoff Kürzestgeschichte (lit. shortest story), which is the German term for a subcategory of short story, became established as a literary genre in the 20th century. Its condensed content conformed to the hectic pace of life but, in terms of the issues discussed, it was more essential and dedicated to an experienced reader. In this paper, a narratological analysis of selected shortest stories by Heiner Feldhoff and Kerstin Hensel will be conducted. A methodological basis for the analysis is the categories implemented by Gérard Genette. Its aim is to provide an answer to the question whether shortest stories could be, like any other epic texts, subject to a narratological analysis and to what extent the length of a text might influence the findings of such an analysis.
