Commented translation: Anne-Sophie Mutter
No full textThe aim of this bachelor thesis is to create a functionally equivalent translation of the selected chapters of the book Anne-Sophie Mutter. Die Schönheit des Violinklanges, written by the German author Alfred Stenger. The thesis is divided into five parts. The first one is of a practical nature. It consists of a German-Czech translation. The remaining four parts are of a theoretical nature, i.e. a commentary. The second part presents a translation analysis based on the model of Christiane Nord from her book Textanalyse und Übersetzen. The next one focuses on a description of the used translation method and procedures. The fourth part deals with a typology of translation problems at different levels. The last part sums up translation shifts that occurred during the translation process
Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer
No full text‘Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer’ is a critical and creative answer to the question: How do we construct Anne Shirley, and what does she mean to us? This creative research submission is a work of fanfiction, specifically a mash up based on Anne of the Island, L.M.M. Montgomery’s sequel to Anne of Green Gables. In this short work of fiction (under 4 thousand words) Anne is revealed as a changeling, one of the Faerie Folk, and also a being not strictly male or female; sometimes neither, sometimes both. The mash up is based on the last two chapters of Anne of the Island, the scenes in which Gilbert Blythe is seriously ill and Anne realises she loves him. This realisation causes Anne, in this version, to reveal to Gilbert that she is both non-human and not a girl, and to use Faerie magic to save Gilbert’s life. Anne’s revelation causes Gilbert a great relief, as he has been keeping a secret also - that he too is queer. The piece has an accompanying research statement and reflection, that reflects on the ways the contributor/author interprets Anne, as a being troubled by gender, and not strictly gender conforming. The much-loved scene from Anne of Green Gables in which Anne realises she is not wanted by the Cuthberts because she is not a boy is inserted into the mash up (as a memory) as this scene is the principal cause for the contributor’s identification with Anne as a gender non-conforming figure who resists gender expectations. Overall, this creative and critical work and reflection queers both Anne as a character and the Anne of the Island novel.Book chapter - work of fiction with a critical reflective essa
Sonja Longolius, Performing Authorship. Strategies of “Becoming an Author” in the Works of Paul Auster, Candice Breitz, Sophie Calle and Jonathan Safran Foer
No full textIn Performing Authorship. Strategies of “Becoming an Author” in the Works of Paul Auster, Candice Breitz, Sophie Calle and Jonathan Safran Foer, Sonja Longolius analyzes how two writers (Auster and Foer) and two performing artists (Calle and Breitz) have not only been producing works but, in the process, have also consciously “become authors” by creating their own authorial personae. In the beginning of her introduction, Longolius quotes a remark taken from one of Auster’s interviews about hi..

A sojourn in Paris 1824-25: sex and sociability in the manuscript writings of Anne Lister (1791-1840)
No full textThis thesis examines the day to day practices that constituted Anne Lister's (1791-1840) sexuality and sociability within the range of her writings, as well as her society. Anne's writings were a detailed account, spanning her lifetime, of her own love and relationships with the 'fairer sex' (Whitbread 1988, 145). Anne's sociality, seen in her correspondence and plain handwritten journal entries, has been explored by Muriel Green in Miss Lister of Shibden Hall and Jill Liddington in Female Fortune and Nature's Domain (Green 1992; Liddington 1998; 2003). As a gentlewoman of adequate means, Anne has garnered some attention from women's historians interested in her agency within an early nineteenth century social and historical context. Anne's sexual identity has been extensively analysed over the past nearly twenty years by lesbian feminists, queer theorists, women's historians and historians of sexuality concerned with the history and development of modern Western female homosexuality and gender. The source for theorising Anne's sexuality has been the edited selections of the crypted journal entries, published by Helena Whitbread in I Know My Own Heart and No Priest but Love (Whitbread 1988; 1992). However, many analyses deal either with the theorisation of Anne's sexuality or her sociality; the theoretical difficulty with reconciling these categories has troubled the analysis of her complex subjectivity. Drawing upon the archival materials, I have used an interdisciplinary feminist approach to analyse the sexual and social processes of Anne's everyday interactions in her writings. Taking the seven month period of the sojourn to Paris in 1824-25, I have focused upon Anne's textual practices within her journal volume and letters during her residence in Paris, her social practices with the other guests at the guesthouse 24 Place Vendome and her sexual practices with her lover, the widow Mrs. Maria Barlow. The journal volumes and correspondence are a valuable historical record of one gentlewoman's engagement with early nineteenth century British culture
