The Performing Arts in Medieval Islam: Shadow Play and Popular Poetry in Ibn Daniyal's Mamluk Cairo de Li Guo

The Performing Arts in Medieval Islam: Shadow Play and Popular Poetry in Ibn Daniyal's Mamluk Cairo: Islamic History and Civilization, cartea 93

Autor Li Guo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 dec 2011
This is a study of the life and work of Ibn Dāniyāl (d. 1310), a Cairo-based eye doctor, poet, playwright, court jester, and arguably one of the most controversial cultural figures of his time. Drawing on medieval Arabic sources, many still in manuscript and some used for the first time, the author further contextualizes Ibn Dāniyāl’s work with respect to poetry production and popular culture in the Islamic Near East in the post-Mongol period. The book also presents the first full English translation of “The Phantom,” one of Ibn Dāniyāl’s three shadow plays, the only surviving pre-Ottoman Arabic theatrical texts.

Recenzii

Prize for Research from the Institut International de la Marionnette, 2015.

"Li Guo hat ein wunderbares Werk über eine Persönlichkeit vorgelegt, die vor allem deshalb so interessant und spannend ist, weil sie uns tief in die Welt der nicht-gelehrten Unterhaltung einer vormodernen nahöstlichen Gesellschaft einführt." – Stephan Conermann, in: Sehepunkte. Rezensionsjournal für die Geschichtswissenschaften 13.4 (2013)
"[Guo] has solved many knotty problems and managed to convey the spirit of a very intriguing but difficult text." – Geert Jan van Gelder, in: Journal of the American Oriental Society 134.3 (2014), pp. 536-539
"…a worthy and important contribution to the history of Arabic literature, as well as the social and cultural history of the Mamluk empire. […] It is astonishing that Guo has been able to synthesize such complex and dense material into a remarkably readable and informative discussion, and in doing so has led the way for further research by Arabists as well as non-Arabist theatre historians. [...] Guo's achievement is significant and indeed I hope it will be transformative." – Adam Talib, in: Mamlūk Studies Review XVIII (2015), 358-362
