Translation and Analysis of Suzanne Myre’s Short Story Collection Mises à mort: A Case Study in Translating the Short Story CycleHildebrand, Cassidy T. R. 15 April 2013 (has links)
In translation studies, the short story cycle has been largely overlooked as an object of study in prose translation. This thesis serves as a case study on the practice of translating the short story cycle, using my translation of Suzanne Myre’s 2007 short story collection Mises à mort as a paradigm.
The thesis comprises four sections: the first is devoted to a discussion of the short story cycle, a modernist form of the short story collection. It is a hybrid subgenre, balancing elements of both the traditional short story collection, characterized by heterogeneity, and the novel, characterized by homogeneity. In this first section, I examine a few definitions of the cycle, then I discuss the subgenre according to a four-part criteria established by Gerald Lynch: ‘character,’ ‘place,’ ‘theme’ and ‘style or tone.’ In the second section, I provide an analysis of Mises à mort within the framework of short story cycle criteria; an examination of the characters, setting, overarching themes and stylistic parallels serves to demonstrate how and why I ultimately interpreted the collection as a short story cycle. The third section is my complete translation of the work. In the fourth and final section, I discuss what implications my interpretation of Mises à mort as a cycle had for my translation thereof, and what unique challenges it presented. I compare my first draft, produced in the mindset that I was translating a traditional collection, to my final draft, revised to accommodate the cohesiveness of the work. This thesis serves to demonstrate how a translator can accommodate for the dual nature of the short story cycle, simultaneously maintaining the discreteness and interconnectedness of the stories.

Dispositifs du recueil et composition d’un univers narratif dans La Manufacture de machines de Louis-Philippe Hébert, suivi de TychéVallières, Catherine 05 1900 (has links)
Mémoire en recherche-création / Ce mémoire de maîtrise en recherche-création examine la façon dont la forme du recueil de nouvelles permet la construction d’univers narratifs riches et originaux, particulièrement dans le domaine de la science-fiction. L’axe central de la réflexion concerne les effets unificateurs que peuvent avoir les dispositifs de mise en recueil de récits dont la matière et la manière sont pourtant diversifiées.
L’essai se penche sur La Manufacture de machines, recueil écrit par Louis-Philippe Hébert en 1976, et apparemment peu homogène, mais dont l’examen révèle la présence d’une mécanique textuelle qui tout à la fois segmente et unifie la matière narrative.
Tyché, le texte de création, consiste en un ensemble de six nouvelles racontant les bouleversements qui suivent l’arrivée d’une planète sur l’orbite de la Terre. Malgré des tonalités, des espaces et des temps différents, le recueil trouve sa cohérence dans la présence de Tyché, à laquelle est liée – directement ou indirectement – certains aspects de l’existence des protagonistes. / This master’s thesis in research and creation examines the way shorts stories cycles allow to elaborate rich and original fictional universes, specifically in science-fiction. The central theme of the reflection concerns the unifying effects that can be found in a collection of short stories despite its diversified narrative content.
The first part of this thesis, the essay, analyzes La Manufacture de machines, a short stories collection written by Louis-Philippe Hébert in 1976, which, at first sight, does not seem homogeneous. However, a closer examination reveals the presence of textual mechanisms that simultaneously segment and unify the content of the narrative.
Tyché is a set of six short stories about the shifts caused by the arrival of a planet in Earth’s orbit. In spite of different tones, spaces and times, the collection finds its coherence through the presence of Tyché, to which is linked – directly or indirectly – specific aspects of the protagonists’ existence.

Our Lady of RefugeIredell, James S. 20 April 2009 (has links)
This story cycle focuses on the members of the Ordoñez family of Castroville, California from the time of the first generation’s migration from Mexico in the 1950s to the most recent generation who moves out of the town in the 2000s. “The Ordoñez Pride” shows the entire family as they experience a miracle. Cecilia, the matriarch, receives a belated wedding ring that bursts into flame that doesn’t burn her, but everything else it comes into contact with. The flame also magically sparks hers and her husband’s sex life into overdrive and, late in life, they produce three more children, for a total of nine. Following this framing story, we see snapshots of all the other family members at life-changing moments. In “After the Revolution” we see Ray Ordoñez , the family patriarch, grow from a boy into a man, as he defends his sister from what he perceives to be the American ranch owner practicing the right to first night—a custom that was still practiced in rural Mexico in the twentieth century. Eventually, Ray migrates to California and begins his family, becomes assimilated into American culture, and reluctantly welcomes an American boy—his oldest daughter’s boyfriend—into his household.

The purpose of this thesis is to create a collection of short stories that are influenced by the author’s own upbringing. experiences, and heritage. This short story collection is about a community of characters that are influenced by their relationships with each other, their culture, and their faith. Each short story is a window into the lives of this Tampa community. This collection's purpose is to offer a glimpse at the struggle between faith and desires. It depicts the pitfalls and benefits of blind faith and its effects on marriage, the agony of Alzheimer's and the toll it takes on a family. It casts a new light on a Tampa tradition, and it shows how loss affects people in different ways. Most importantly, it is meant as an attempt to cliscove1: what forms an identity and makes an individual and a community special.
