Between censorship and propaganda : the translation and rewriting of children's literature during facismSinibaldi, Caterina January 2012 (has links)
The thesis sets out to examine the little studied phenomenon of translating and rewriting children’s literature during Fascism. Under Mussolini’s rule, books for children had to perform the important task of forging the ‘new Italians’. For this reason, the presence of foreign literature on the Italian book market became increasingly problematic, as the regime attempted to achieve cultural and economic autarchy. This research aims to show how, rather than merely reflecting dominant ideologies, the translation of books for children was a site for negotiation, allowing different, and sometimes conflicting narratives and discourses to be identified and fruitfully examined. By adopting an interdisciplinary theoretical framework, where theories from Translation Studies, Children’s Literature, and studies on Fascism, are integrated, translations and rewritings of books for children are employed as hermeneutic tools to explore the multifaceted nature of the regime’s ideology and cultural production, beyond the official façade of unity and consistency. Central questions concerning the construction and defense of Fascist identity are addressed through a selection of case studies, showing different strategies and functions of translating and rewriting for children. The Fascist rewritings of Collodi’s Pinocchio are analysed in relation to Fascism’s relationship with tradition, focusing on the ways in which the past was ‘rewritten’ at different phases of the dictatorship. The challenges of translating a book that had been openly condemned by Fascist institutions are examined by looking at the two translations of Alice in Wonderland which appeared during the 1930s. The complex reception and the controversial success of American comics is investigated, where the different strategies of translation and re-creation reveal complex dynamics of interactions between imported and native products. Finally, the process of rewriting an apparently timeless and universal tradition is observed in the book series ‘La Scala d’Oro’, which was highly regarded by official culture, despite publishing mostly foreign titles.

A literatura desgarrada de Franz Kafka / The Franz Kafka detached literatureBlumenthal, Thiago 27 November 2007 (has links)
Procura-se detectar neste trabalho um modus operandi próprio de Franz Kafka (1883 - 1924) que permita justificá-lo dentro desta perspectiva que se adota como norte: uma literatura que se desgarra constantemente em seus desdobramentos internos, a saber, uma literatura ameaçada em sua própria lógica estrutural, na maneira como o narrador coloca em perigo sua matéria narrada. Mais do que isso, como a narração entra em colisão com seu criador, aquele que a narra, e como tal processo dá origem a uma porção de desdobramentos dentro ainda da mesma matéria ficcional, o que acaba por guiar o leitor, meio que às avessas, não a uma saída do dilema kafkiano, mas a um novo labirinto que lhe fornece um respiro de sobrevivência. O desgarre é sugerido na maneira como o narrador se desprende do narrado e abandona o leitor em múltiplos e novos becos sem saída - que bastam. Como a fortuna crítica de Kafka é bastante diversificada, a atitude adotada é a de traçar um histórico recortado da imensa bibliografia kafkiana e então filtrála de modo coerente e produtivo. / Our aim in this work is to detect a certain Franz Kafka (1883 - 1924) modus operandi in order to vindicate him within this perspective that we assume as guide: a type of literature that detaches, breaks itself out constantly in its process of inner unfolding, namely, a literature threatened by its own structural logic, in a way that the narrator puts his recounting in peril. More than that, how the narration clashes with its creator, the one who narrates it, and how this process brings a lot of unfoldings into being within the same recounting still, that guides the reader, inside out, not to the Kafkaesque dilemma exit, but to a new labyrinth which may provide a surviving breath. This straying is suggested in how the narrator becomes disengaged from what it is narrated, abandoning the reader in multiple and new blind alleys - which all suffice themselves. As Kafka\'s critique is very diversified, the adopted attitude is to outline some of the Kafka\'s enormous bibliography and then coherently filter it.

In the name of the father : manliness, control and social salvation in the works of George MacDonaldNeophytou, Jenny January 2014 (has links)
This thesis considers the representation of manly identity in the works of George MacDonald, and the way in which that identity is formed in relation to shifting power networks and contemporary social discourses. I argue that the environment of technological and societal change experienced in the mid-Victorian era (in the wake of industrialisation, urbanisation, changes in suffrage and war) led to a cultural need to re-align social, political, physical and economic power within a framework of male moral strength. Taking his lead from Thomas Carlyle and German transcendentalism, MacDonald promoted a paternalist ‗ideal‘ of manliness that articulated a synthesis of moral and physical power, yet which also served to promote a paradigm of domestic authority within diverse areas of male interaction. The dual purposes of this ideal were the defence of national identity (the purview of what I term the ‗Soldier body‘), and the enforcement of a paternalist authority hierarchy that is swiftly subsumed within a hierarchy of social status. As a result, we see the growth of close inter-relationships between the representation of manly identity and the language of class, heavily influenced by Christian socialist narratives of individual development through social education and quiescence. Moreover, we begin to witness disturbing scenes of violence and control, as aspects of MacDonald‘s culture defy confinement within his model of patriarchal domestic authority.

Básně na zdech. Poezie ve veřejném prostoru / Poems on walls. Poetry in public spaceChlumová, Jitka January 2011 (has links)
In the last years placing of poems in public space has become popular in the Netherlands. The poems are to be found in the cities, mainly on the walls and in the pavements, as well as in the nature. They are specific form of poetry which was not described thoroughly so far. This thesis describes the phenomenon (for which the term wallpoems is used) from three different points of view: it is poetical object by itself, part of the city as a social space and part of literature. (1) The wallpoem is poetical object in which the interaction is very strong between the text and the medium. The interpretation of the poem is strongly influenced by used material (bricks, stone, glas, metal), typography and location (wall, pavement, nature). The location has own social cultural context that influences the perception. Thanks to the unusual placing outside of any book the poems can be seen by another public. Very important is for the reader the surprise and unexpectedness of such a meeting with poetry. (2) The wallpoem is part of the city space. The most poems are part of organised projects which also influences their perception. Some of them have common theme or background idea given by the initiators. These projects can represent particular aspects of the city or create an image of it. Such image is meant as...

bogado_am_me_arafcl.pdf: 959038 bytes, checksum: 81452521bce9f681c5bd203b5c6bd59a (MD5) / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / A pesquisa consiste em estudar a expressão poética e filosófica existente no romance Lucinde (1799), de Friedrich Schlegel (1772-1829). Crítico e pensador deste período, Schlegel concretiza nesta obra, através da linguagem e da forma, os ideais do Primeiro Romantismo (Frühromantik). Tendo como base o idealismo subjetivo da filosofia de Johann Gottlieb Fichte, ele desenvolve um conceito que chama de poesia progressiva universal. Em Lucinde, Schlegel concebe um romance histórico-crítico no qual o processo de amadurecimento vivido pelo personagem principal (Júlio) - da sua tempestuosa juventude até a sua harmoniosa vida com Lucinda - pode ser visto como uma alegoria do percurso vivido pelo movimento romântico desde o surgimento do Sturm und Drang (fase de ruptura com os preceitos iluministas), passando pelo processo de formação (Bildung), até chegar ao momento presente vivido por Schlegel: a produção de Lucinde e o círculo de Jena, sendo que o texto transita entre o elogio e a crítica desse percurso histórico-literário da Alemanha do século XVIII. A produção dos pensadores do Frühromantik girou em torno principalmente de ensaios filosóficos, da história da literatura e da crítica literária e o romance de Schlegel compreende a infinitude dessas questões. Lucinde está muito distante de ser um romance de entretenimento: trata-se de um projeto romântico. Filosofia, crítica literária e história da literatura em forma de arte. / The reasearch consists in studying the poetic and philosophical expression existing in the novel Lucinde ( 1799 ), by Friedrich Schlegel ( 1772-1829). Critic and thinker from that period, Schlegel renders in this piece , through his language and structure, the ideal of the Early German Romanticism ( Frühromantik ). Based on the subjective idealism from the philosophy of Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Schlegel developes a concept wich he names universal pregressive poetry. In Lucinde, Schlegel conceives a historical-critic novel in wich the process of maturation lived by the protagonist ( Júlio ) - from his tempestuous youth to his harmonious life with Lucinda - can be seen as an allegory of the course traversed by the Romantism since the arising of Sturm und Drang ( a rupture phase with the illuminist principles ), passing from the forming process ( Bildung ), to the present moment lived by Schlegel: the production of Lucinde and the circle of Jena; being the text a transient between the praise and the critique of this historical-literary course of the Germany in the eighteenth century. The production of the Frühromantik's thinker moved around philosophical essays specially, literature history and literary critique; and the Schlegel's novel comprehends the infinities of these issues. Lucinde is quite far away from being an entertainment novel: it's a romantic project. Philosophy, literary critique and literature history turned into art.

Previous issue date: 2007-02-05 / The theme of identity is very important and discussed when we talk about Modernity. In the Portuguese modernism, for example, besides Mário de Sá-Carneiro, we have the emblematic figure of Fernando Pessoa and his heteronyms that assure a lot of discussions about the theme. The objective of this research is to analyze the question of identity in Mario de Sá-Carneiro s lyrics. Throughout his poems, the main focus is the relation made up among the image that the persona has about itself and another one, ideal, that it creates for itself, plus the consequences that the established conflict generates. In all the poems written by the renowned Portuguese poet, there is a strong perceptible difference between these images. From Mário de Sá-Carneiro s poems, we will ascertain the way the persona tries to create an own identity. We will also notice how, in a historic period that demands fragmentation, the persona searches for its identity, according to a conception of subject that is perfect and self-centered. We will realize how and why this attempt is condemned to fail. / A questão da identidade é extremamente importante e muito discutida quando se fala em Modernidade. No Modernismo português, por exemplo, além de Mário de Sá-Carneiro, temos a figura emblemática de Fernando Pessoa e os seus heterônimos, que proporcionam grandes discussões sobre o tema. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar a questão da identidade na obra lírica de Mário de Sá-Carneiro. O foco principal está na relação, criada em seus poemas, entre a imagem que o eu-lírico tem dele mesmo e a imagem ideal que ele cria para si e as conseqüências que esse conflito gera. Nos poemas deste importante poeta português, há uma diferença bem perceptível entre essas imagens. Verificaremos em que medida, nos poemas de Mário de Sá-Carneiro, o eu-lírico tenta criar uma identidade própria. Como, em um momento histórico que exige a fragmentação, o eu-lírico busca a sua identidade, segundo uma concepção de sujeito que seja perfeito e centrado. Notaremos como e por que essa tentativa está condenada ao fracasso.

[en] THE ART OF WRITING HISTORIES: CONTEMPORARY EXPERIMENTS IN LITERARY HISTORIOGRAPHIES / [pt] A ARTE DE ESCREVER HISTÓRIAS: EXPERIMENTOS CONTEMPORÂNEOS DE HISTORIOGRAFIA LITERÁRIAALINE DE ALMEIDA MOURA 19 May 2017 (has links)
[pt] Mudanças paradigmáticas no campo dos Estudos de Literatura e da História alteraram profundamente pressupostos teóricos e epistemológicos de suas respectivas construções de conhecimento. A indagação básica dessa dissertação está centrada sobre o descompasso entre esses pressupostos e as práticas mais tradicionais de historiografia literária, analisando respostas inovadoras ensaiadas nos últimos anos por experimentos de historiografia literária atentos aos diversos questionamentos precedentes nas duas esferas disciplinares. Nesse horizonte, serão tematizadas as mudanças na conceituação do fenômeno literário e a sua expansão para além dos limites do texto e avaliados os reflexos do chamado despertar epistemológico no campo disciplinar da História, que afetaram a escolha dos objetos a serem investigados, dos métodos e das formas de sua escrita. O foco de análise nessa dissertação são as configurações escriturais desses experimentos e os pressupostos usados para justificar as suas propostas alternativas e os seus circuitos comunicativos ampliados, ou seja, analisar a grafia inerente a toda história literária como parte de significativa relevância para a sua constituição. O corpus de análise, voltado para o caráter inovador de seus experimentos, tanto no conteúdo quanto na forma de escrita, propõe, como alternativa ao modelo épico-narrativo, uma constelação de ensaios de autoria diversa. Objetivando promover uma experiência de leitura que possibilite a construção do conhecimento histórico literário em vista de encontros fascinantes dos leitores, esse corpus é formado basicamente por A New Literary History of America (2009); A New History of German Literature (2004) e A New History of French Literature (1989). / [en] Paradigmatic transformations in the field of Literary Studies and History have profoundly altered theoretical and epistemological presuppositions of their knowledge constructions. The basic question of this dissertation focuses on the gap between these assumptions, and more traditional of practices literary historiography, examining innovative responses tested in recent years by experiments in literary historiography attentive to many previous questions in both disciplinary spheres. In this horizon, it will be discussed changes in the conceptualization of the literary phenomenon and its expansion beyond the limits of the text and assessed the consequences of the epistemological awakening in History that affected the choice of objects to be investigated, the methods and forms of their writing. The focus of analysis in this dissertation is the writing configurations of these experiments and the assumptions used to justify their proposed alternatives and their expanded communicative circuits, that is, the analysis of the writing inherent in any literary history and extremely significant in its constitution. The corpus of analysis, focused on the innovative nature of their experiments, both in content and in form of writing, proposes, as an alternative to the epic-narrative model, a constellation of essays by diverse authors. Aiming to promote a reading experience that enables the construction of historical knowledge in literary view of fascinating encounters of readers, this corpus is basically formed by A New Literary History of America (2009), A New History of German Literature (2004) and A New History of French Literature (1989).
