The Outsiders Are Growing Up to Be Violent : How Empathetic Reading May Induce Discussions about Toxic Masculinity in the EFL Classroom

Robinsson, Sofia January 2021 (has links)
This essay argues that while the main character in The Outsiders challenges the norms of toxic masculinity on a surface level, his decision to continue fighting for his gang, the greasers, actually reinforces the stereotypical view that violence is connected to masculinity. Furthermore, it is argued that studying The Outsiders in a Swedish EFL classroom can promote critical thinking and knowledge of issues connected to gender through using empathetic reading.  Empathetic reading is a way to read carefully to gain new perspectives in order to discuss and criticize the text. Even though the term toxic masculinity assumes a healthy/harmful binary, it is needed since the power dynamics that sustain gender inequality remain. Recent events in the Western world, such as the #Metoo movement and Trumpism, are just a couple of examples of how power dynamics are showing through gender discrimination and sexual harassment. However, gender can be a sensitive subject in lower secondary EFL classrooms, and by focusing on being empathetic towards how others express gender may lessen the pressure of speaking about gender subjectively.

Transporter dit-elle : l'écriture de Marguerite Duras dans les traductions slovaques / Transport, she said : Marguerite Duras’s writing in slovak translations

Visnovska, Anna 09 December 2013 (has links)
La présente étude se donne pour but d’analyser l’écriture moderne – palimpseste et hybride – de Marguerite Duras et ses modifications qualitatives dans les traductions slovaques. Le titre de la thèse rend compte des deux lignes de notre réflexion : interprétative (interrogative) de l’original et critique (évaluative) de la traduction. La première partie propose une ouverture théorique à la réflexion sur la traduction littéraire en confrontant les écoles slovaque et française. Nous esquissons les problèmes généraux de l’art de la traduction ainsi que de la réception des textes littéraires. Dans la deuxième partie, nous proposons une lecture interprétative de l’œuvre de Duras. Nous réfléchissons sur le processus de la réception de l’œuvre dans la complexité de ses rapports à des textes antécédents de Duras. Notre lecture est centrée sur les particularités littéraires – stylistiques, esthétiques et narratologiques – qui risquent de se perdre dans la traduction. Dès le premier roman, l’imaginaire de Duras engendre des thèmes, des motifs et des modes d’écriture privilégiés dont le traducteur, dans la perspective d’une lecture empathique, est invité à saisir les constantes et les métamorphoses. De plus, le lecteur-traducteur devrait pénétrer avec Duras dans les sensations de ses narrateurs et de ses personnages. Dans la troisième partie, nous étudions des divergences concrètes entre les traductions slovaques et le texte de départ. Les failles des traductions slovaques tiennent essentiellement à leur négligence des figures de manque. Nous concluons que dans la réécriture slovaque, l’oralité programmée par Duras s’efface : l’émotion palpable dans l’original se dissout dans la cohérence retrouvée du discours. La traduction slovaque restitue l’écriture fragmentaire, mais ne laisse plus sentir l’origine des silences propres à l’écrivaine : l’impuissance à dire ou, au contraire, l’urgence de dire. / The present study aims to analyse Marguerite Duras’s writing and its qualitative modifications in slovak translations. This modern (palimpsest and hybrid) writing offers itself to the translator a strategy for the conceptual preparing before writing of the translation. Methodically, we proceed following all the steps in the translator’s work before final writing of his translation. The title of the dissertation anticipates two main exploring perspectives on Duras’s writing : interpretative analysis (investigation) of the original and critical (evaluative) reading of the translation. We focus on the reading process of the work in its complex relationship to earlier Duras’s texts. The first part offers a theoretical opening reflection on translation of literary works as well as the comparing of the Slovak and French schools. We analyse the general problems of the art of translation and reading of literary texts. The second part questions the stylistic, aesthetic and narratological aspects of Duras’s writing which may be lost in the translation. The imagination of the author creates topics, motifs and preferred writing strategies which the translator, in the perspective of an empathic reading, is supposed to capture in all their variations. In the reading process, the translator as a reader is invited to enter with Duras into the sensations of her narrators and characters. In the third part, we study the actual differences between slovak translations and the original text. At the end of our study, we found out that in the Slovak rewriting, the oral style fades seriously: the emotion which is palpable in the original dissolves in the established coherence of discourse. Slovak translations restore the fragmentary writing, but they don’t allow to feel and understand the reasons of writer’s silence and empty spaces: her powerlessness to say or, on the contrary, her urgent need to say.
