ANTIGUAS PERSPECTIVAS EN EL DISCURSO MODERNO: TOPICOS LITERARIOS EN LA BUSQUEDA DE LA PAZ /Ancient Insights in Modern Discourse: Literary Topoi in the Pursuit of Peace
Este estudio explora un aspecto significativo del analisis de los topicos literarios, que permite la conexion de textos de diversos trasfondos culturales, historicos y literarios. Basandose en una investigacion previa sobre la posicion de los topicos en los estudios de literatura comparada, el objetivo de la presente investigacion es ilustrar como estos conceptos recurrentes tienen la capacidad de relacionar textos de diferentes contextos. Esto facilita un intercambio significativo entre los lectores, mejorando la comprension de ideas compartidas y potencialmente contribuyendo a la paz y a la concordia. Ademas, este estudio revela que la presencia de los topicos se extiende mas alla del ambito de la literatura y puede encontrarse en diversos medios culturales como la television o el cine. Para respaldar estos argumentos, el analisis se centra en la representacion de la [mucho menor que]locura del amor[mucho mayor que] en una serie de television irani llamada Shahrzad (2015), dirigida por Hassan Fathi, y en la obra teatral estadounidense A Electra le sienta bien el luto (1931) de Eugene O'Neill. Al rastrear sus origenes hasta el Otelo de Shakespeare, a su vez profundamente influenciado por la literatura clasica occidental, este analisis destaca el impacto perdurable de los topicos a lo largo de diferentes periodos y contextos culturales. Palabras clave: topicos; literatura comparada; locura del amor; serie irani; Eugene O'Neill; literatura y cine. This study explores a significant aspect in the analysis of literary topoi, which involves connecting texts from diverse cultural, historical, and literary backgrounds. Building upon a previous investigation into the position of topoi in comparative literature studies, the aim of the present research is to illustrate how these recurring concepts can bridge texts from different contexts. This facilitates a meaningful exchange among readers, enhancing the comprehension of shared ideas and potentially contributing to peace and harmony. Furthermore, this study reveals that the presence of topoi extends beyond the realm of literature and can be found in diverse cultural mediums such as television or cinema. To support these arguments, the analysis focuses on the portrayal of [mucho menor que]madness of love[mucho mayor que] in an Iranian television series called Shahrzad (2015), directed by Hassan Fathi, and in the American play Mourning Becomes Electra (1931) by Eugene O'Neill. By tracing their origins to Shakespeare's Othello, itself highly influenced by western classical literature, this analysis highlights the enduring impact of topoi across different periods and cultural contexts. Key words: Topoi; Comparative Literature; Madness of love; Iranian Series; Eugene O'Neill; Literature and cinema.
