Críticas
This collection of essays offers a varied and fascinating view of the riddle from different perspectives... this remarkable and outstanding collection of essays on the subject of riddles and enigmas... will receive a warm welcome by all lovers of this unique folklore genre... parallels between the Teluga and Tamil riddles and the identical thought behind them are striking and enthralling. (Dieter B. Kapp, Asian Folklore Studies.)
Reseña del editor
Untying the Knot collects eighteen previously unpublished essays on the riddle―a genre of discourse found in virtually every human culture. Hasan-Rokem and Shulman have drawn these essays from a variety of cultural perspectives and disciplines; linguists, anthropologists, folklorists, and religion and literature scholars consider riddling practices in Hebrew, Finnish, Indian languages, Chinese, and classical Greek. The authors seek to understand the peculiar expressive power of the riddle, and the cultural logic of its particular uses; they scrutinize the riddle's logical structure and linguistic strategies, as well as its affinity to neighboring genres such as enigmas, puzzles, oracular prophecy, proverbs, and dreams. In this way, they begin to answer how riddles relate to the conceptual structures of a particular culture, and how they come to represent a culture's cosmology or cognitive map of the world. More importantly, these essays reveal the human need for symbolic ordering―riddles being one such form of cultural ritual.
