Creole Sketches, Lafcadio Hearn, Charles Woodward Hutson 2022 New Orleans Daily Item

Creole Sketches, Lafcadio Hearn, Charles Woodward Hutson

Zea E-Books Collection

New Orleans in 1878 was the most exotic and cosmopolitan city in North America. An international port, with more than 200,000 inhabitants, it was open to French, Spanish, Mexican, South American, and West Indian cultural influences, and home to a thriving population descended from free African Americans. It was also a battleground in the fight against yellow fever (malaria) and in the political upheavals that followed the end of Reconstruction. The continued influx of Anglo-Americans and the renewed ascendancy of white supremacists threatened to overwhelm the local blend of languages, races, and cultures that enlivened the unique Creole character of …

Mongo Beti, Théoricien De La Décolonialité, Adama Samaké 2022 Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire)

Mongo Beti, Théoricien De La Décolonialité, Adama Samaké

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Decoloniality is a concept coined by Walter Mignolo to fight against the invasion of the euro-American imaginary in the rest of the world that Anibal Quijano calls coloniality. Thus designed by the Modernity/Coloniality/Decoloniality research group to answer the vast question raised by globalization to the universal consciousness ; questioning centered on the conditions for re-socialization and a new humanization, the theory of decoloniality is determined as a philosophy of liberation based on epistemic disobedience. It finds a favorable echo among many African novelist, particularly Mongo Beti whose writings are intended as a methodology of historical initiative which intends to analyze …

Réunion: Haven Or Hostile Land?: A Translation Of A Complex Documentary In Pursuit Of Reclaiming Identity, Hannah Conner 2022 Macalester College

Réunion: Haven Or Hostile Land?: A Translation Of A Complex Documentary In Pursuit Of Reclaiming Identity, Hannah Conner

French Honors Projects

In 2012, the documentary film La Réunion : terre d’asile ou terre hostile was first screened at the Comorian International Film Festival (CIFF). The film, directed by Comorian filmmaker Saïd-Ali Said Mohamed, explores the experiences of Comorians on the island of Réunion, a Department of France in the Indian Ocean. It not only discusses the complex, interwoven histories and identities of the Comoros and Réunion, but the film itself is part of a broader movement to reclaim the representation of Comorians. This project, a French to English subtitling of the film and an accompanying analysis, seeks to fully appreciate the …


Comment Raconter Autrement L’Expérience Migratoire ? Une Analyse Croisée De Trois Romans Francophones, Adele McLees 2022 Macalester College

Comment Raconter Autrement L’Expérience Migratoire ? Une Analyse Croisée De Trois Romans Francophones, Adele Mclees

French Honors Projects

Aujourd’hui, l’État et les médias français visent à réduire au silence les immigrés africains, ou bien visent à s’approprier leurs mots à d’autres fins. Néanmoins, le genre romanesque permet aux immigrés de prendre la parole, donnant un visage à la masse anonyme et menaçante des immigrés que montrent les médias français. Le ventre de l’Atlantique par Fatou Diome, Comment immigrer en France en 20 leçons par Luc Bassong et Debout-Payé par Gauz font justement cela. En analysant les représentations des subjectivités des immigrés-personnages, les performances des rôles attribués aux immigrés-personnages et les déconstructions des stéréotypes ethnographiques présentées dans ces trois …


Ecstasy, Confession, Image, And Silence In Buber, Bergman, And Godard, Karl E. Toepfer 2022 San Jose State University

Ecstasy, Confession, Image, And Silence In Buber, Bergman, And Godard, Karl E. Toepfer

Open Educational Resources

This essay discusses the contrasting attitudes toward ecstatic experience as described in Martin Buber's book Ekstatische Konfessionen (1909). Ingmar Bergman's film Persona (1966), and Jean-Luc Godard's film Weekend (1967). The attitude toward ecstasy depends heavily on the use of language and confidence in language to represent ecstatic experience. Buber, Bergman. and Godard share little, if any, perception on the relation between language, speech, and ecstasy.


Resisting The Image: Heidi, Sheep And Swiss Trash, Jonathan Gosnell 2022 Smith College

Resisting The Image: Heidi, Sheep And Swiss Trash, Jonathan Gosnell

French Studies: Faculty Publications

The novel Swiss Trash, written by Dunia Miralles in 2000, interrogates stereotypes around immigration and nationhood in contemporary francophone Switzerland, with the intention of turning some notions on their head and letting others fester, uncomfortably. The French-language text underscores the divisions, the startling differences present within a seemingly perfect “Heidiland.” Its English title hints at complex and often equivocal cultural denotations extant within the Helvetic Confederation. A simultaneous reading of Swiss Trash and Heidi, of familiar Swiss citizens and intrusive immigrants, offers, this article contends, revealing visions of a dismal present/future and an idealized past. Read alongside works …

Deux Histoires De Meurtres Et D’Intrigues : L’Étude Et L’Application Pratique Des Techniques Courantes De La Traduction Française, Joseph Kalmar

Senior Independent Study Theses

Cette thèse vise à examiner les techniques courantes de la traduction littéraire et leur application pratique dans les contextes du thème et de la version. Le chapitre méthodologique explique d’abord les concepts qui sous-tendent les cinq techniques principales que j’ai utilisées pendant mon travail : les unités de traduction, la modulation, la transposition, l’équivalence, et l’adaptation. Chaque partie de ce chapitre comprend des exemples concrets tirés de mes traductions afin de démontrer comment et pourquoi un traducteur choisirait de profiter de ces procédés dans certains contextes. Pour la version, j’ai traduit une vingtaine de pages de Seule en sa Demeure, …
