The Would-Be Author: Molière And The Comedy Of Print, Michael Call 2015 Brigham Young University

The Would-Be Author: Molière And The Comedy Of Print, Michael Call

Purdue Studies in Romance Literatures

This book is the first full-length study to examine Molière’s evolving (and at times contradictory) authorial strategies, as evidenced both by his portrayal of authors and publication within the plays and by his own interactions with the seventeenth-century Parisian publishing industry. Historians of the book have described the time period that coincides with Molière’s theatrical activity as centrally important to the development of authors’ rights and to the professionalization of the literary field. A seventeenth-century author, however, was not so much born as negotiated through often acrimonious relations in a world of new and dizzying possibilities.The learning curve was at …

Lost In Translation? Found In Translation? Neither? Both?, Esther Allen, Mary Ann Caws, Peter Constantine, Edith Grossman, Nancy Kline, Burton Pike, Damion Searls, Karen Van Dyck, Alyson Waters, Roger Celestin, Charles Lebel

The Quiet Corner Interdisciplinary Journal

Translation specialists Esther Allen, Mary Ann Caws, Peter Constantine, Edith Grossman, Nancy Kline, Burton Pike, Damion Searls, Karen Van Dyck and Alyson Waters respond to the TQC question:

“Lost in translation”; “Found in translation”: Are these just useless commonplaces or are they indicative of something relevant to your own practice?


Determining The Influence Of The Network Time Protocol (Ntp) On The Domain Name Service Security Extension (Dnssec) Protocol, Sherman J. Cold 2015 Indiana State University

Determining The Influence Of The Network Time Protocol (Ntp) On The Domain Name Service Security Extension (Dnssec) Protocol, Sherman J. Cold

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Recent hacking events against Sony Entertainment, Target, Home Depot, and bank Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) fosters a growing perception that the Internet is an insecure environment. While Internet Privacy Concerns (IPCs) continue to grow out of a general concern for personal privacy, the availability of inexpensive Internet-capable mobile devices increases the Internet of Things (IoT), a network of everyday items embedded with the ability to connect and exchange data. Domain Name Services (DNS) has been integral part of the Internet for name resolution since the beginning. Domain Name Services has several documented vulnerabilities; for example, cache poisoning. The solution adopted …

L’Appropriation Du Mythe Dans La Construction Post Coloniale A Travers L’Heritage Du Griot De Dani Kouyate, Amina Saidou 2015 University of Louisiana at Lafayette

L’Appropriation Du Mythe Dans La Construction Post Coloniale A Travers L’Heritage Du Griot De Dani Kouyate, Amina Saidou

South East Coastal Conference on Languages & Literatures (SECCLL)

Autour des années 1980, la littérature et le cinéma francophones de l’Afrique subsaharienne sont voués à une fonction esthétique et thématique qui les induit à recourir au patrimoine des valeurs traditionnelles afin de trouver les ressources et la vision propres à résoudre certaines préoccupations du moment. Dans bien des cas, cela implique le recours au mythe, à la légende ou encore au merveilleux, en vue d’exprimer les aspirations les plus profondes voire le mode d’être d’un peuple que les vicissitudes de l’histoire ont placé face un certain nombre de tourments. C’est dans une telle perspective que s’inscrit clairement le film …


La Parole Traditionnelle Dans Le Pagne Noir De Bernard Dadié Ou Le Passage De L’Oralité À La Scripturalité Du Conte, Koffi P. Amanoua 2015 University of Louisiana at Lafayette

La Parole Traditionnelle Dans Le Pagne Noir De Bernard Dadié Ou Le Passage De L’Oralité À La Scripturalité Du Conte, Koffi P. Amanoua

South East Coastal Conference on Languages & Literatures (SECCLL)

Le conte fait partie des éléments caractéristiques de toute société fondée sur le discours oral. Il a été, par le passé un outil de préservation des us et coutumes en Afrique et ailleurs et un canal puissant pour communiquer des valeurs et enseigner des vérités. Avec les légendes, les mythes, les chansons, les proverbes, les devinettes et les comptines, le conte peut être assimilé à la parole traditionnelle, celle des anciens. Cela transparait dans le recueil de contes Le pagne noir dans lequel Bernard Dadié, rapporte à l’écrit la parole traditionnelle de façon à respecter l’esprit du conte. De ce …


Force-Bonte : Un Oubli Volontaire Non Justifie, Myrlene Bruno 2015 University of Louisiana at Lafayette

Force-Bonte : Un Oubli Volontaire Non Justifie, Myrlene Bruno

South East Coastal Conference on Languages & Literatures (SECCLL)

Batouala de René Maran et Force-Bonté de Bakary Diallo sont deux romans écrits par des auteurs noirs pendant les années ’20, la décennie précédant la naissance de la Négritude. Parus à une époque où les auteurs francophones hors de l’Europe étaient extrêmement rares, ces deux textes précurseurs auraient dû marquer leur période. Ce fut le cas pour Batouala qui gagna le prix Goncourt en 1921, l’année même de sa parution. Il ne faut pas non plus oublier qu’il a été embrassé par les champions de la Négritude, un mouvement qui se donnait pour but de rehausser les cultures et les …


La Metaphore Du Devoilement Dans Les Enfants Du Nouveau Monde D’Assia Djebar, Amina Saidou 2015 University of Louisiana at Lafayette

La Metaphore Du Devoilement Dans Les Enfants Du Nouveau Monde D’Assia Djebar, Amina Saidou

South East Coastal Conference on Languages & Literatures (SECCLL)

La société algérienne pendant et après la guerre de révolution a subi des changements significatifs et de divers ordres. Les Enfants du nouveau monde d’Assia Djebar en est une très forte illustration. La tradition socioculturelle algérienne recommande à la femme algérienne le port du voile. En faisant ressortir la thématique du voile dans la tradition maghrébine, Djebar montre à travers son roman la façon dont la situation s’applique à la femme algérienne. Aussi, une métaphore du voile et du dévoilement ressort de sa description du rapport de pouvoirs entre la femme et l’homme; entre la femme et le pouvoir sociopolitique …


Crossing Cultures: The Old Norse Adaptations Of Marie De France’S Lais, Kenna Jacobs 2015 University of Connecticut - Storrs

Crossing Cultures: The Old Norse Adaptations Of Marie De France’S Lais, Kenna Jacobs

The Quiet Corner Interdisciplinary Journal

The representation of sin and sexuality in Marie de France’s Lais is a topic that continues to be debated among scholars, as the unexpected storylines – including adultery, bestiality, and physical violence – often clash with our preconceived notions concerning the medieval principles of modesty and restraint. The provoking, even disconcerting, nature of this work becomes quite apparent when examined in conjunction with their later adaptations in the thirteenth century, as King Hákon of Norway commissioned the translation of several lais into Old Norse as a means of promoting the courtly codes and conventions within French literature. Focusing on the …


Empathic Encounters: Negotiating Identity In 9/11 Fiction And Translation, Kirsty A. Hemsworth 2015 University of Sheffield

Empathic Encounters: Negotiating Identity In 9/11 Fiction And Translation, Kirsty A. Hemsworth

The Quiet Corner Interdisciplinary Journal

Dominated by the polarized strategies of domestication and foreignization, conventional literary translation approaches tend to operate on the assumption that source and target cultures, and, by extension, their literary works, are fundamentally irreconcilable on the basis of linguistic, stylistic and ideological differences. Dislocated by the traumatic force of the event, only to be further uprooted by the translation process itself, the identities at stake in American works of 9/11 fiction cannot be so clearly differentiated and securely defined. Moreover, any attempt to fictionalize and translate this real-world trauma inevitably encounters the event as a visual singularity, whereby the image supersedes …

Ghosts In The Machine: Narratives Of Disappearance In French Fiction From The 1990'S, Peter Schulman 2015 Old Dominion University

Ghosts In The Machine: Narratives Of Disappearance In French Fiction From The 1990'S, Peter Schulman

World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications

This article examines narratives of disappearance in two French novels from the late 1990's, J.B. Pontalis's Un homme disparait and Marie Darrieussecq's Naissance des fantomes, which are reflective of a general trend towards ghostliness in French fiction towards the end of the twentieth century. The article argues that these novels are emblematic of a fin de siecle malaise that Marc Auge termed surmodernite and that Paul Virilio has identified in terms of an era characterized by so much speed (as a result of an overabundance of technological innovations in communication such as email and faxes) that individuals have become less …
