A Tale Of Two Nations’ Histories The Application Of Literary Fairy Tales As A Firsthand Account Of History, Nicholas Gottlob
A Tale Of Two Nations’ Histories The Application Of Literary Fairy Tales As A Firsthand Account Of History, Nicholas Gottlob
Honors College Theses
Fairy tales are often thought to be solely for children as a means of education and entertainment. The literary fairy tale provided a medium that allowed authors to express their opinions under the guise of a story. This has not always been the case as literary fairy tales have been utilized as political instruments by authors and intended for a highly educated audience. Using fairy tales as a facade provided protection for authors, as outright criticisms against those in power usually resulted in dire consequences such as imprisonment or even death for the objector. The literary fairy tale provided a …
Cambodian Family Albums: Tian's "L'Année Du Lièvre", Angelica P. So
Cambodian Family Albums: Tian's "L'Année Du Lièvre", Angelica P. So
Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal
This article explores how Franco-Cambodian cartoonist Tian’s graphic novel, L’année du lièvre [Year of the Rabbit], represents second-generation postmemory in the form of, what I call, a “Cambodian family album,” or a personal-collective archive. The album serves to convey to subsequent generations: 1) the history of the Cambodian genocide, 2) the collective memories of pre-1975 Cambodia preceding the Khmer Rouge takeover of Phnom Penh, and 3) the Cambodian humanitarian crisis and exodus of the 1970s-1990s. The conceptualization of the family album is derived from the literal translation, from Khmer into English, of the term “photo album” – “book designated for …

A Lyrical Comparison Of Suzanne And Its Translation, Natalie Sadler
A Lyrical Comparison Of Suzanne And Its Translation, Natalie Sadler
The Corinthian
This paper compares Leonard Cohen’s song Suzanne and its French translation by Graeme Allwright. It takes translation principles into account, by relying on translator Antoine Berman’s “Twelve Deforming Tendencies of Translation.” In his reliance on the instrumental model, which tries to find equivalence and treat the translation as a reproduction of the original, Allwright’s translation misinterprets several important elements in the original, namely the relationship between the speaker and the Suzanne character. In Cohen’s original, the character Suzanne is expected to follow the speaker and is changed by his “superior” intellect, while in Allwright’s version Suzanne is likened to a …
The Shadow Of Dante In French Renaissance Lyric: Scève's Délie, Alison Baird Lovell
The Shadow Of Dante In French Renaissance Lyric: Scève's Délie, Alison Baird Lovell
Research in Medieval and Early Modern Culture
This book presents an interpretation of Maurice Scève's lyric sequence Délie, object de plus haulte vertu (Lyon, 1544) in literary relation to the Vita nuova, Commedia, and other works of Dante Alighieri. Dante’s subtle influence on Scève is elucidated in depth for the first time, augmenting the evident allusions in Délie to the Canzoniere of Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca). Scève’s sequence of dense, epigrammatic dizains is considered to be an early example, prior to the Pléiade poets, of French Renaissance imitation of Petrarch's vernacular poetry, in a time when imitatio was an established literary practice, signifying the poet’s …

Nous souhaitons proposer dans cet article une réflexion sur l'écriture des articles scientifiques, en défendant l'idée que les textes rendant compte de recherches doivent être considérés comme des textes à part entière, c'est-à-dire comme des environnements ayant leur propre cohérence, qui échappe en partie à leurs auteurs. En partant de cette hypothèse, nous adoptons pour notre propre article une forme qui donne une large part aux jeux d'échos entre des citations, issues de textes volontairement très différents.

Didactisation Du Texte Littéraire Selon L’Approche Actionnelle:Application Au Contexte Universtaire Libanais, Franceline Daher
Didactisation Du Texte Littéraire Selon L’Approche Actionnelle:Application Au Contexte Universtaire Libanais, Franceline Daher
Al Jinan الجنان
Notre volonté d’intégrer le texte littéraire dans les cours universitaires de français langue étrangère a permis de le didactiser selon la perspective actionnelle. Pour ce faire, nous avons élaboré un modèle didactique basé sur l’étude du roman » L’école de la guerre » d’Alexandre Najjar, un écrivain libanais d’expression française. Plusieurs activités langagières et artistiques ont été présentées avec succès par les étudiants dans le cadre d’une manifestation culturelle. Les résultats positifs de l’évaluation de ce projet montrent les prémisses d’un changement de représentation du texte littéraire.

L’Écriture De L’Inconscient Dans Les Désaxés(2004) Et Not Tobe(1991) Chez Christine Angot, Rana Faysal
Al Jinan الجنان
Cette étude consacrée à l’oeuvre de Christine Angot prend appui sur des questions renvoyant à un problème qui se partage l’espace littéraire : l’écriture de l’inconscient. Nous nousproposons d’aborder cette question à la lumière de la psychanalyse. Il s’agira moins d’étudier l’univers romanesque de l’auteur dans Les Désaxés et Not To Be, que d’éclairer, à travers la lecture de ces récits, certains problèmes relevant de la lecture psychanalytique en général

Not Your Average Rose: Cultural Inversion In Pizan’S 'City Of Ladies', Alex Donley
Not Your Average Rose: Cultural Inversion In Pizan’S 'City Of Ladies', Alex Donley
Montview Journal of Research & Scholarship
This research addresses Le Livre de la Cité des Dames—translated into English as The Book of the City of Ladies—as an outstanding work of proto-feminist literature from 1405. It is written by a woman, in defense of women. Christine de Pizan plays the central character in her own work, in which she combats misogyny with a revised account of history. She battles prevalent ideals of courtly love and gender inequality as things that are not merely repulsive or immoral, but wholly heretical. Rather than focusing on historical accuracy, de Pizan uses the literary power of her narrative to …

Rewriting The Oeuvre: Raymond Queneau And The Art Of Translation, Christopher Clarke
Rewriting The Oeuvre: Raymond Queneau And The Art Of Translation, Christopher Clarke
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
While the literary oeuvre of French author Raymond Queneau (1903-1976) has been extensively studied, his work as a literary translator has been largely overlooked. Queneau was a prominent member of the French literary avant-garde, but also a literary translator for two decades (1934-1953), and his writing was greatly influenced and impacted by his readings and translations of Anglophone writers. This dissertation provides insight into the role of translation in his conception of writing and language, and the inseparability of the different facets of his career as a writer, literary translator, and publisher. I examine his personal linguistic and literary history …

Le Journaliste/Ecrivain : Reporter Ou Reformateur ? L’Exemple De Franchir La Mer De Wolfgang Bauer, Hasna Bouharfouche
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
Suite à l’essor industriel et technologique, le monde devient la scène de plusieurs crises environnementales, sociales et humanitaires en parallèle avec la course aux armements. Les répercussions de ces crises se traduisent entre autres par des changements démographiques dramatiques dans certaines zones du monde, notamment au Moyen-Orient (la Palestine, l’Iraq et la Syrie à titre d’exemple. Le Liban auparavant durant la guerre civile), à cause des déplacements forcés et des nombres des émigrés. Ces déplacements attirent les médias du monde qui tentent de par leur « responsabilité sociale » de parler et de comprendre ce genre de crise, et tout …
For The Dead: Witnessing Images Of Violence In Jonathan Littell's Une Vieille Histoire: Nouvelle Version, Orit Yushinsky Troupin
For The Dead: Witnessing Images Of Violence In Jonathan Littell's Une Vieille Histoire: Nouvelle Version, Orit Yushinsky Troupin
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
This article deals with representing violence and witnessing in Jonathan Littell's novel Une Vieille Histoire: Nouvelle Version. First, I show how by means of renouncing mimetic representation, Littell "weaves" a reality of violence and excessive sensations into a text and creates disturbing abstract-corporeal images that stimulate readers' attention to contemporary prevailing violence in our societies. I then claim that narrators in the novel, in their role as abusers, victims, or witnesses, become fascinated with images of violence that stupefy them, turning them into blinded witnesses who cannot testify on ungraspable and impenetrable images of violence. As witnesses, narrators become …
In The Wake Of Medea: Neoclassical Theater And The Arts Of Destruction [Table Of Contents], Juliette Cherbuliez
In The Wake Of Medea: Neoclassical Theater And The Arts Of Destruction [Table Of Contents], Juliette Cherbuliez
Literature
In the Wake of Medea examines the violence of seventeenth-century French political dramas. French tragedy usually appears as a passionless, cerebral genre that refused all forms of violence. In the Wake explores the rhetorical, literary, and performance strategies through which violence persisted. The mythological figure of Medea, foreigner who massacres her brother, murders kings, burns down Corinth, and kills her own children, can serve as a paradigm for this violence. Paradigmatic also of the refugee who is welcomed yet feared, who confirms our concept of the social while threatening its integrity, Medea’s presence is this book’s organizing principle. An alternative …

Borderless Flows In Federspiel’S Die Ballade Von Der Typhoid Mary, Charlotte Melin
Borderless Flows In Federspiel’S Die Ballade Von Der Typhoid Mary, Charlotte Melin
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
Jürg Federspiel’s novel Die Ballade von der Typhoid Mary (1982) offers a fictionalized account of the notorious heroine’s life that ultimately sympathizes with her plight as an immigrant who faced exclusionary cultural barriers. Drawing on Rob Nixon’s concept of “slow violence” and recent approaches developed by material ecocriticism theory, my essay reinterprets this work from an environmental humanities perspective. The interpretation focuses on the interconnection of discourses related to disease, food, and pollution flows. Exploration of these themes leads to the conclusion that Federspiel’s work was prescient in its parallel engagement with both immigration issues and the emerging environmental concerns …
