Sarmiento's Vida De Horacio Mann: Translation, Importation, And Entanglement, Thomas Genova

Spanish Publications

This article focuses on the broad sociopolitical implications of Sarmiento's translations of Northern Hemispheric texts and ideas into the South American context in Las escuelas and the author's correspondence with Mary Mann. Exploring the relationship between the two reformers—both of whom were interested in using education to prepare nonwhites for the duties of citizenship in a broadly defined "South"—in order to examine the entangled history of Argentina during the War of the Triple Alliance and the early Reconstruction-era United States, this article shows how Sarmiento puts his relationship with Mann to creative use in his effort to incorporate Argentina's popular …

Translation And Commentary Of Manuel Canete’S Prologue To The Obras Completas Del Duque De Rivas, Emily Bishop Milner, Dr. Dale Pratt

Journal of Undergraduate Research

My project had two phases: first, to translate approximately twenty-five pages of flowery and rather difficult Spanish into clear English; and second, to provide a commentary explaining the relationship of the translated prologue to other similar works within Spanish Romanticism as well as continental Romanticism. The translation phase of the project went smoothly. I used the technique of sentence patterning to separate the clauses in the somewhat convoluted sentences, both so that I could understand them and so that I could translate with faithful attention to the original text. The translation turned out well; because of the sentence patterning I …

Posibilidades De La Abstracción: La Obsesión Y La Traducción En Los Cuentos De Julio Cortázar, Caitlin Dougherty

Honors Papers

En los cuentos de Julio Cortázar (Argentina, 1914-84) la materia física es muy breve, pero la relevancia es mucho más grande. Según él, la gran importancia de contar se encuentra más en el cómo que en el qué, y es esta noción única que añade a su estilo de lo fantástico. En Rayuela, el narrador (y en este capítulo es un poco ambiguo quién narra) demuestra esta idea de la literatura en general cuando dice que "Lo que el libro contaba no servía de nada, no era nada,porque estaba mal contado" (Rayuela 567). Se puede ver en los cuentos de …

Spanish Translation Of Sze-Man Lam's “All About Sexuality: Gender Studies In Pedro Almodovar's Films”, Kurt Ryan Schultheis

World Languages and Cultures

I started researching possible senior project options with the idea in mind of writing a scholarly paper about the films of Pedro Almodóvar. When I looked at all that had been written about him already, I suddenly felt overwhelmed. It seemed that everything that could possibly be said about Almodóvar had already been said, and what could I possibly have to add? Then I found Sze-man Lam's Master of Arts thesis that she wrote in 2004 at the University of Hong Kong. As I read it, I thought, “This is the paper that I wanted to write!” I had all …

Cisneros’ Code-Mixed Narrative And Its Implications For Translation, Maria Jose Garcia Vizcaino

Department of Spanish and Latino Studies Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

The pragmatic consequences of code-switching in the field of literary translation, especially in the case of Chicano novels that are written in English but code-switches to Spanish for pragmatic, narrative and stylistic purposes have barely been studied so far. The aim of this paper is to analyze how code-switching has been dealt with in the translation into Spanish of these novels that, although written in English, use Spanish to convey specific pragmatic functions and certain stylistic effects. Our corpus will consist of three novels by Sandra Cisneros (The House on Mango Street, Woman Hollering Creek and Caramelo) and their translations …

Unamunian Microcosms: Four Short Stories In A New Translation Into English, Emily A. Davis

Theses and Dissertations

Spanish writer Miguel de Unamuno's short fiction is neglected in both the academic and nonacademic communities, and it is especially underrepresented in English-language translation. This thesis constitutes a comprehensive approach to four short stories: "El que se enterró," "La manchita de la uña," "Mecanópolis," and "Batracófilos y batracófobos." A detailed exploration of thematic resonances among them, and between these and other works by Unamuno, precedes side-by-side translations of all four texts, of which only "Mecanópolis" has been previously published in English translation.

Beyond Fidelity: The Translation Process In Two Adaptations Of Juan Marsé’S El Embrujo De Shanghai, Jessie Louise Christensen

Theses and Dissertations

In the past, the study of film adapted from literature has focused largely on the question of fidelity. This thesis explores new ways to look at the relationship between literature and film by showing how concepts from the field of translation studies, particularly literary translation, can enrich the study of adaptation theory. An application is made to the case of Spanish novelist Juan Marsé’s work El embrujo de Shanghai, which has been adapted to film by Fernando Trueba and to screenplay by Victor Érice. Rather than taking a hierarchical approach to the novel and its two variations, a comparative approach …

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

I translated a Truman's Capote short story: "A Diamond Guitar". I chose this short story because I found it very interesting when I read it. Besides it was not translated into Spanish yet. And, I also analyzed the meaning of the most important symbols that appear in the short story. I also analyzed some problems that I had with the translation.
