TL;DR: In the early 1930s, it was difficult for most English readers to disentangle Dada, with its poetics of outrage and negation, from Surrealism as mentioned in this paper, with its more affirmative and often prophetic stance.
Abstract: ‘It’s got here at last!’ So Cyril Connolly greeted the appearance in 1935 of David Gascoyne’s A Short Survey of Surrealism with a degree of surprise we may still share. Why had it taken so long for Surrealism to arrive in England? Andre Breton had, after all, presented the founding manifesto back in 1924 and the first experiment in automatic writing, The Magnetic Fields , which he co-produced with Philippe Soupault, had appeared four years before that. The war, of course, had closed borders, literally and metaphorically, and having survived the conflict without suffering invasion or revolution, England in the immediate wake of 1918 would be largely untroubled by the waves of crisis and nihilism which swept most European countries and which generated the newest avant-garde tendency, Dada. While Italian Futurism had launched itself on London in a spectacularly dramatic fashion, Dada would remain an obscurely ‘foreign’ phenomenon, receiving only patchy mention in literary magazines and never generating sufficient oppositional energy to initiate a parallel English movement in the way that Marinetti had lit the charge for Vorticism. What was known of the Dada group and the Surrealist tendency it had spawned by 1920 came mostly by way of little magazines rather than from direct personal contact, and the time-lag in picking up on the new movements also meant that it was difficult for most English readers to disentangle Dada, with its poetics of outrage and negation, from Surrealism, with its more affirmative and often prophetic stance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the features of the Liu du ji jing and those of other jatakas with Indian non-Buddhist narrative literature, and find that they share a great deal of common ground.
Abstract: This dissertation explores one of the Chinese jataka collections, the Liu du ji jing (A Scripture on the Collection of the Six Perfections) from literary, artistic, and gender perspectives. When I compare the features of the Liu du ji jing and those of other jatakas with Indian non-Buddhist narrative literature, I discover that they share a great deal of common ground?the linguistic, cultural, and stylistic milieu that nurtured them during their period of active development until they matured in relative isolation as distinct genres. Through centuries of constant development and reformulation, the jataka became a genre in its own right, although its distinctive traits as a genre changed over time in response to the changing contexts of Buddhist teachings, resulting in works as different as the Pali Jataka, Cariyapitaka, Jatakamala, and the Liu du ji jing. In addition to their literary presentation, the jatakas and the stories in the Liu du ji jing were also propagated in visual art at Indian stupas, but there they served a devotional rather than a didactical function. Given the sequence in which individual jataka scenes are arranged and the inaccessible location of these scenes within the stupas, it is unlikely that this artwork was intended to be read or understood by the viewer. Finally, I analyze and discuss the social and religious status of women as they are represented in the jatakas and what this tells us about the various Buddhist attitudes toward them. Here, the contrast between the way women are portrayed in the Liu du ji jing and the Pali Jatakas is significant. Unlike in any of the Pali jatakas, in three stories of the Liu du ji jing, "Buddha" was a woman (in a past life) four times. We will find that the Liu du ji jing is among the few Buddhist scriptures with a positive attitude toward women, and thus, in the eyes of its authors at least, there were a few good women.

TL;DR: In this article, a new reading of Musil's essayism that centers the "novelistic" in Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften has been proposed, and it is argued that the essayism can be traced back to a long history of the genre from Cervantes, Goethe, Tolstoy, and Proust.
Abstract: Robert Musil and his major novel Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften have long been treated as novelistic outsiders by Musil critics and historians of the novel. Reflecting this view, terms such as essayism have come to dominate criticism on MoE . Arguing for a revised understanding of this term, the author puts forth evidence of Musil’s deep engagement with the history of the novel and shows how Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften ’s macro-structure, chronotopes, types, and economy of desire link the novel to a long history of the genre from Heliodorus and Chretiens to Cervantes, Goethe, Tolstoy, and Proust. From this perspective, the author offers a new reading of Musil’s essayism that centers the “novelistic” in Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften .
