Die Bedeutung der stylistique comparée für die Übersetzungsanalyse, dargestellt am Beispiel des Transfers musikgebundener Texte
Full text linkThe present contribution aims to explore the extent to which the concepts and terms of the research approaches which have come to be known as stylistique comparée (Vinay/Darbelnet 21968) are suitable as one of many methods for translation analysis. In particular, the question will be asked how the concepts and technical terms of this approach can shed new light on the translation of music-bound texts. It turns out that the findings of this method can not only complement existing approaches in translation studies, but that the stylistique comparée itself benefits from a preoccupation with the translation of form-based and polysemiotic texts

Full text linkDe Béranger à Bruant. Chansons sur les gueux – chansons pour les gueux ?
Full text linkThe literary history of the ‘gueux’ in the nineteenth century, to which Victor Hugo contributedas well with his story Claude Gueux (1834), takes place mainly in the literary/musical genre of the ‘chanson’ and in feuilletonistic and sociological texts of the paupérisme-debate of the time. Béranger’s Les Gueux, emphasizing the intrinsic value and the autonomy of the social outsider in contrast to his criminalization which dominated the contemporary discussion, remains tinted with epicurean vision and is still too uncritical of the status quo to remain unchallenged in the course of its literary reception – ranging from Gustave Leroy and Jean-Baptiste Clément, who protested just as vigorously as Jules Vallès, to the ‘limonadier’ and disciple of Béranger, Jean-Louis Renaudot, Jehan Rictus, Jean Richepin’s Chanson des Gueux, and the commercialization of the topic of the outcast by Aristide Bruant’. Doubtless, these reactions to Les Gueux reflect the political-ideological debates of nineteenth century bourgeois society on the solution of the social question
Chanter les poètes avec (ou sans) les maths
Full text linkStarting from a personal experience in turning texts by poets into songs, I will show how mathematics might shed some new light on our understanding of the relation between poetry and music. After recalling the conflictual relations between poetry and chanson, I will focus on a geometric representation of the harmonic space – the Tonnetz – that enabled me to propose an original perspective on poetic song writing through the concept of ‘Hamiltonian song’. Two musical examples will illustrate the flexibility of this formal approach in poetry-based song writing
Fenomeno Speranza: la voce dura della banlieue casertana
Full text linkSperanza, an Italian-French rapper, in recent years has made a name for himself within the newItalian dialectal rap scene. His music portrays life in the Campania province of Caserta with a style that is reminiscent of gangsta rap reworked to be both ironic and irreverent. This article analyzes a corpus of six songs released by the campanian artist on YouTube between 2017 and 2019. The description of a harsh reality, implemented through a particular verbal violence, is the main feature of his rap music, interesting both on a textual and musical level
