Traces of Orality and Memory in The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night
Keywords:
Orality, Memory, Sortilege, Rhythm, Architecture, Thousand Nights and One NightAbstract
This paper aims to find traces of orality and techniques of memory in some versions of The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night. It stems, thus, from some reflections on the techniques of memory used by the Arab culture that were inherited from the Greek art of memory. These traces are analyzed under three perspectives: as sortilege (in the manner of Mnemosyne), as a way to imprint rhythm and cadency on the tales, and as the architecture of memory.
