Abstract

Abstract:Variants of The Seven Sages cycle of tales have circulated through centuries and across three continents. During its dissemination, the narrative has undergone numerous alterations and reinterpretations, particularly when seen through the lens of religion, gender politics, and "East" vs. "West." Developments in the areas of postcolonial and gender studies open up new ways of reading and interpreting these variants, allowing for a more fluid and multifaceted view and refusing the dominant understanding as misogynist. This in turn reflects the mores of the societies in which these variants were created and received.

七位智者作为研究历史多样性的资源——从后殖民研究的角度比较拉丁语和早期德语版本与东方传统文本

摘要：《七贤》系列故事的变体已经流传了几个世纪，横跨三大洲。在传播过程中，叙事经历了许多变化和重新解释，尤其是从宗教、性别政治和“东方”与“西方”的角度来看。后殖民和性别研究领域的发展为阅读和解释这些变体开辟了新的方式，允许更灵活和多方面的观点，并拒绝作为厌女主义者的主流理解。这反过来反映了这些变体产生和接受的社会习俗。

期刊介绍： Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
