Reviving The Surrealist Revolt: A Retracing Of Surrealism’S History And A Reimagining Of Its Future In Translation, Kyle Young
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Although Surrealist writing has literary merit, Surrealist texts were written as revolutionary tracts meant to undermine the social order. Yet the politically radical aspects of the movement are no longer taken very seriously. At least one contributing factor to the current impotence of Surrealism is the approach taken in the translation of Surrealist texts. Many translators have presented Surrealist texts as they would traditionally present any literary document. However, Walter Benjamin’s writings on translation, in particular his essay “The Task of the Translator,” provide a novel conception of translation, one which can produce linguistically radical texts. I will argue that …

Une Nouvelle Voix Narrative À La Recherche De Son « Moi », Kasongo Mulenda Kapanga
Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications
Trente ans après les crises d'indépendances, l'Afrique a connu des secousses particulièrement paralysantes dont le prix en vies humaines se mesure au nombre élevé de personnes décimées par des fléaux tels que la famine, les épurations ethniques, les guerres, les génocides et la mauvaise gouvernance. Devant cette tragique situation, l'art, en tant qu'expression du beau, se vide de son attrait sous la pesanteur de l'anormal (l'horreur) qui nécessite, sinon une réparation imminente, tout au moins une dénonciation immédiate. Se sentant abandonnée à son propre sort - l'élite a misérablement échoué - le petit personnage issu du peuple, le délinquant, le …

Ferdinand Oyono, Kasongo Mulenda Kapanga
Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications
Ferdinand Oyono was a Cameroonian statesman and a Francophone novelist of the first generation of African writers who became active after World War II. He entered the literary scene at a time when writers such as his fellow Cameroonian Mongo Beti and the Senegalese Sembene Ousmane and Leopold Sedar Senghor were at their peak. Oyono and Mongo Beti are known as "the forefathers of modern African Identity" for their anticolonial novels.

The Jazz Critic As Flâneur, Peter Schulman
The Jazz Critic As Flâneur, Peter Schulman
World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications
“I love to watch you play,” a reporter once said to Duke Ellington during a television interview. As Ellington gracefully moved up and down the keyboard, he replied, grinning wistfully, “Playing? I’m not playing . . . I’m dreaming!”1 For the poet Jacques Réda, whose most famous works such as Les ruines de Paris (1977) and Amen (1988) chronicle his experiences as a modern flâneur in a Paris which is sometimes overtaken by what Marc Augé has labeled surmodernité,2 or an anaesthetizing over-abundance of technology and empty modern spaces, Réda has also led another life as a jazz critic, …
La Double Vie De Baudelaire: Le Trouble Bipolaire Et La Dépendance À L’Opium, Kristen Murphy
La Double Vie De Baudelaire: Le Trouble Bipolaire Et La Dépendance À L’Opium, Kristen Murphy
Senior Honors Projects
Charles Baudelaire (April 9th, 1821- August 31st,1867) the nineteenth century French poet, was an eccentric and scandalous character who pushed the boundaries of decency and literature quotidianly. Today he is considered the father of the modernist literary movements and is well respected in literary circles. However, during Baudelaire’s lifetime, his great work Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil) was censored by the French government, he was constantly bankrupt, attempted suicide once, and was an opium addict. Charles Baudelaire did not lead a cheerful life and his works show this darkness. In Les Fleurs du Mal, Baudelaire constantly refers …
Alain De Roucy Et La Voix Anonyme De La Chanson De La Croisade Albigeoise, Paul Linden
Alain De Roucy Et La Voix Anonyme De La Chanson De La Croisade Albigeoise, Paul Linden
Scholarship and Professional Work - Communication
La Chanson de la Croisade Albigeoise, écrite entre 1212 et 1219, est le produit de deux auteurs successifs: Guillaume de Tudèle et un autre écrivain resté anonyme. Ces deux auteurs écrivent non seulement à chaud, mais ils sont partisans de factions opposées: Guillaume de Tudèle soutient la position des croisés français alors que l'auteur anonyme montre la perspective méridionale. Loin d'amoindrir la différence entre les deux perspectives comme l'a fait Michel Zink, cette étude considère au contraire l'anonymat comme une stratégie qui souligne les rapports entre la Chanson et un champ de bataille.2 Notons comment l'Anonyme s'attaque aux …

Mai '68: Une Revolution Culturelle, Laura Sharpe
Senior Honors Projects
Dans ce mémoire, j’expliquerai Mai 1968 en France et ses conséquences dans la société en parlant des événements qui ont eu lieu avant, pendant et après. D’abord je parlerai de la guerre d’Algérie et comment elle a ouvert la voie aux démonstrations et aux syndicats en mai 68. Deuxièmement, je montrerai comment la guerre du Vietnam était très importante dans le développement du mouvement et des syndicats d’étudiants. Ensuite, je me lancerai dans les grands développements sur la chronologie des événements du mouvement. Il est très important de noter tout ce qui se passait à propos du mouvement en France …
African Literature (Francophone), Kasongo Mulenda Kapanga
African Literature (Francophone), Kasongo Mulenda Kapanga
Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications
The term "Francophone African literature" is widely used to designate sub-Saharan African literature written in French by authors living in Africa or abroad. It derives from Francophonie, the nineteenth-century neologism coined by the French geographer Onesine Redus (1837-1916). In the African context, the concept gained relevance in the 1960s under the aegis of Leopold Senghor and Habib Bourguiba, two African presidents who advocated the creation of an organization linking all the nations sharing the French language and culture.
Spivak After Marx After Derrida, Philip Leonard
Spivak After Marx After Derrida, Philip Leonard
Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture
Spivak is often viewed as an unequivocally deconstructive theorist, and she frequently reinforces this impression by proclaiming her allegiance to Derrida's ideas. Recent comments by her suggest, however, that there are limits to her deconstructive convictions. This essay considers some of Spivak's debts to Derrida's work, though it is primarily concerned with those occasions when she states her misgivings about his ability to understand postcoloniality, global power, and resistance movements. Reading Marx more accurately would, she insists, have allowed Derrida both to grasp capitalism's complex logic and to consider the effects of subaltern interventions upon capitalism's global authority. Such an …
L'Enfance Échouée Comme Source De Drame Dans En Attendant Le Vote Des Bêtes Sauvages, Kasongo Mulenda Kapanga
L'Enfance Échouée Comme Source De Drame Dans En Attendant Le Vote Des Bêtes Sauvages, Kasongo Mulenda Kapanga
Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications
En attendant le vote des betes sauvages peut être lu com me une analyse discursive de la problématique de l'identité de la classe dirigeante. Qui sont réellement les dirigeants africains dont la mauvaise gouvernance a poussé le continent au bord de la banqueroute? Tout remonterait à l'enfance qui, dans le cas de cette élite, a été paralysante. L'analyse met en lumière une enfance bâclée gelée dans une idéologie de servitude.

Le Héros Sonyien À La Croisée Des Principes Sartriens Et Nietzschéens, Kasongo Mulenda Kapanga
Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications
Sony Labou Tansi s'est créé une réputation de maître de la parole mordante par sa dénonciation des pouvoirs abusifs de l'ère postcoloniale. Que ce soit dans le théâtre ou dans le roman, «l'enfant prodige de Brazza» use d'une verve castigatrice et d'un style incendiaire qui lui ont valu dans les lettres francophones africaines une réputation de censeur. Même si on mettait cette agressivité verbale au compte de l'afropessimisme, le malaise que la pléthore d'écrivains africains ont décrié, il se profile dans la floraison langagière de Sony une tension entre deux modes de pensée et deux philosophies complémentaires. II y a, …

Freud's Jewish Science And Lacan's Sinthome, David Metzger
Freud's Jewish Science And Lacan's Sinthome, David Metzger
English Faculty Publications
In chapter nine of Seminar XVII, Lacan writes that the position of the analyst cannot be separated from Jewish history (158). More particularly, the invention of analytic discourse is part and parcel of a Hebraic tradition--represented by the Book of Hosea--in which one's god underscores the fact that even if everyone is speaking (let's say about sexual knowledge) this does not mean everyone is saying something. One of the defining moves of a Jewish Science, in this specific frame of reference, would be to situate the knowledge, "There is no Other," precisely where other intellectual and religious traditions establish their …
In Appreciation Of Birago I. Diop: A Subtle Advocate Of Négritude, Winston E. Langley
In Appreciation Of Birago I. Diop: A Subtle Advocate Of Négritude, Winston E. Langley
Trotter Review
The closing weeks of the last decade brought with them the death of three distinguished world figures: Samuel Beckett, the Irish-French playwright, novelist, and poet; Andrei D. Sakharov, the Soviet nuclear physicist, human rights advocate, and leader in the international disarmament movement; and Birago I. Diop, the Senegalese poet, storyteller, and statesman. In the case of the former two, leading U.S. newspapers and other media paid merited tribute in the amplest of proportions; in case of the last, however, it was as if he had either never lived or had gained no standing of importance worthy of much attention. Diop …
