Around the world in eighty gays : retranslating Jules Verne from a queer perspective
No full textStudies of multiple causation of literary translation outcomes (e.g. Brownlie 2003,
2006) have found that individual translators may have a significant idiosyncratic input
into the form of the translated text, in tandem with other causal influences, including
the source text itself, translation norms and skopoi. The nature of translatorial selfinscription
and creativity may include an original deconstruction of a source text,
indeed, a radical reinterpretation of same. The translator Butcher has reinterpreted
Around the World in Eighty Days (1873/1995) in the context of its author Jules
Verne’s life history, original manuscripts of the French novel in question, prior to
subsequent expurgation by their publisher Hetzel, and textual clues themselves.
Butcher's Queer Studies readings have had an important influence on his translation
decisions. Examples of his translation solutions throughout this Verne novel are
discussed, and are seen to purposively accentuate perceived sexual and sometimes
specifically gay subtexts. This article also investigates, linguistically, the plausibility
of some of Butcher's controversial reinterpretations of the Verne imaginary
The Influence of Jules Verne in Sweden Around 1900
No full textThe article presents the impact of Jules Verne among Swedish readers around 1900 by investigating a juvenile magazine, Kamraten, published between 1892 and 1911. Two newly discovered Martian Epics in Kamraten by the Swedish author of adventure and crime stories, Julius Regis (1889―1925), “En bröllopsresa i blå etern” (1906―07; “A Honeymoon in Space”) and “Dokumentet från Mars” (1910; “The Document from Mars”), give vivid testimony to Verne’s popularity. These stories ― in which Verne is mentioned ― are about Swedes travelling in space and are clearly influenced by Verne’s novels
Jules Verne, “marginal sécant” de la littérature française
No full textNous proposons dans cet article d’analyser l’œuvre de Jules Verne au travers de différents concepts et théories susceptibles d’expliquer pourquoi l’auteur des Voyages extraordinaires n’a jamais été reconnu en son temps par ses pairs. Le concept de « marginal sécant » (Crozier & Friedberg), la théorie des « champs littéraires » (Bourdieu) et la théorie de « la complexité » (Morin) éclairent ainsi autrement le positionnement historique, sociologique et littéraire de cet auteur majeur de la littérature française.We analyze Jules Verne’s work through different concepts and theories, explaining why the author of The Extraordinary Voyages was never recognized in his time by his peers. The "marginal secant" concept (Crozier & Friedberg), the "literary fields" theory (Bourdieu), and the "complexity" theory (Morin) thus enlighten — each differently — the historical, sociological, and literary placement of this major author of French literature

Jules Verne - a new polishing technique related to FJP
No full textA variation on the fluid jet polishing (FJP) technique, arbitrarily named Jules Verne (JV), will be described in this article. Jules Verne is a glass processing technique that removes material due to the fact that the tool and the surface are in close contact, and a slurry moves in between the tool and the surface. This approach has both advantages and disadvantages with respect to the original FJP modus: it enables a feed-controlled machining process, but deeper lying areas are harder to reach. A simulation model will be presented that predicts the flow of the slurry in the Jules Verne setup, which is followed by the computation of the trajectories of the particles in the flow. Furthermore, experimental data will be reported demonstrating the feasibility of the JV idea. A model will also be presented simulating the interaction between the surface and the impinging abrasives at a microscopic level, enabling the prediction of the final surface roughness.Optics Research GroepApplied Science
