Contemporary Entangled Elegy (original) (raw)

This collection critically examines contemporary elegy within a transnational framework, exploring interactions among poetic traditions across different cultures. The theme of entanglement is central, positing that modern elegiac expressions emerge through their relationships with various global influences and contexts, challenging traditional definitions of the genre. Through case studies, including Arabic poetry and Modern Greek literature, the issue redefines elegy by considering extra-literary factors such as gender and social change, ultimately advocating for a broader understanding of elegy as a dynamic and interconnected literary form.
