El amor en el cine egipcio. Análisis de la relación hombre-mujer en algunas películas egipcias desde 1950 hasta 2000

Love has always played a central role in Arab cultures, whether idealized/Platonic (as in the story of Majnûn and Laylâ) or earthly/carnal (as in the well-known Dove Ring. About Affinity and Friends by Ibn Hazm al-Andalûsî [993-1064]). Today love is still dealt with by many Arab philosophers and poets, especially Egyptian. This article intends to show the ways in which love has been represented in Egyptian cinema during the last fifty years, through four different categories of love: physical love, Platonic love, fatherly love and love between husband and wife. This essay demonstrates that contemporary Egypt’s conceptions of love are still very much the same as in the classical era, though contemporary cinema adds the support of the moving image to our understanding of this feeling

De Sangue e Vinho: As Bacchae de Soyinka como exemplo de teatro sincrético, circular e multidimensional

This paper is a summary of Wole Soyinka’s Bacchae of Euripides: A Communion Rite, a Nigerian dramatic rewriting from Euripides’Bacchae. This analysis which identifies the similarities and the inconsistencies between the ancient Greek myths and gods and the Yoruba cosmogony and rituals, will focus on the idea of drama as an ideal medium for social and political expression within a postcolonial space. The following aspects of Soyinka’s Bacchae will be taken under consideration: the relationship between the classical prototype and its Yoruba version (the re-contextualization of time, space and characters; the similarities and the inconsistencies between the ancient Greek myths and gods and the Yoruba cosmogony and folklore); the cultural and metaphysical syncretism; third and last, the metamorphosis of the myth’s identity, that is, the deconstruction of traditional western canons and themes replaced by precolonial rituals. The result is a syncretic theatreEste artigo é em um sumário da obra Bacchae of Euripides: A Communion Rite [Bacantes de Eurípedes: Um Rito de Comunhão], de Wole Soyinka, uma reescritura dramática nigeriana de As Bacantes, de Eurípides. Esta análise, que identifica as similaridades e as discrepâncias entre os antigos mitos e deuses gregos e a cosmogonia e os rituais iorubás, estará concentrada na ideia de que o drama é o meio ideal de expressão social e política dentro de um espaço pós-colonial. Os seguintes aspectos das Bacchae de Soyinka serão levados em consideração: a relação entre o protótipo clássico e a sua versão iorubá (a recontextualização de tempo, espaço e personagens; as similaridades e as discrepâncias entre os antigos mitos e deuses gregos e a cosmogonia e o folclore iorubás); o sincretismo cultural e metafísico; terceiro e último, a metamorfose da identidade do mito, isto é, a desconstrução dos cânones e temas ocidentais tradicionais, substituídos por rituais pré-coloniais. O resultado é um teatro sincrético
