Derek Mahon as translator
No full textDerek Mahon has devoted much of his productive life to translation, especially from the French. This paper studies his handling of French texts, distinguishing those which he has freely recreated from those which he has assimilated to his own style and those where he has made himself subservient to the character of the original author. Attention is drawn to his inventiveness, his wit, his moderation and rationality, his concern for effective and relevant communication with the reader, his rhythmic sense and his concern for emphasis and coherence. It is argued that the practice of translation affords Mahon the opportunity to write "at one remove" from direct feeling, and in so doing to combine breadth of feeling and of cultural reference with self-awareness and self-discipline

Du monde romanesque au poème : The World of J.G. Farrell de Derek Mahon
No full text« The World of J.G.Farrell » is the title of section XVII of the long poem Derek Mahon published in October 1997 under the title The Yellow Book. In this work, divided into twenty sections which can be regarded as « verse letters », Derek Mahon evokes a number of past thinkers and writers, among whom his friend, the novelist James Gordon Farrell, author of a trilogy referring to the decline of the British Empire. This article aims at showing how, in this section, the poet utilizes the prosodie intertext (collage, quotations, etc.), but also a form of auto-textuality (taking up verbatim prose elements from his own articles). The palimpsest of the writing is not limited to allusions or textual references either. Indeed, the chaos of Farrell's novelistic world finds its echo in Mahon's poetic writing itself. Thus the « frontier » between the world of fiction and the world of poetry imperceptibly gives way to an epiphaneous-like fusion.« The World of J.G.Farrell » est le titre de la section XVII du long poème que Derek Mahon a publié en octobre 1997 et intitulé The Yellow Book. Dans cette œuvre, divisée en vingt sections qui s'apparentent à ce que l'on appelle en anglais des « verse letters », Derek Mahon évoque un certain nombre de penseurs et écrivains disparus dont son ami, le romancier James Gordon Farrell, auteur notamment d'une trilogie consacrée au déclin de l'Empire britannique. Cet article a pour but de montrer comment, dans cette section, le poète utilise l'intertextualité prosodique (collage, citations, etc.), mais aussi une forme d'autotextualité (reprise verbatim d'éléments prosodiques de ses propres articles). Le palimpseste de l'écriture ne se limite pas non plus à de simples allusions ou références textuelles. Car le chaos du monde romanesque farrellien se reflète au niveau de l'écriture mahonienne elle-même. Ainsi la « frontière » entre le monde romanesque et le monde poétique disparaît peu à peu pour aboutir à une fusion de nature épiphanique.Delattre Elisabeth.

L'accès des femmes au marché du travail : Le cas irlandais
No full textIrish women's participation in the labour market
Ireland had and still has the lowest percentage of working women in Europe. When the country joined the EC it eliminated certain formal factors of exclusion which concerned women, such as the prohibition of access to jobs in the public service or banks. However, the author, Evelyn Mahon shows how the principle of equal opportunity is only partially put into practice. Above all, she analyses how a tax system unfavourable to working mothers, forces them out of the labour market particularly if their income is low, due to the poor organization and above all the high cost of child care. The paper also shows how access to work is denied by indirect discrimination.Mahon Evelyn, Bolain Nancy. L'accès des femmes au marché du travail : Le cas irlandais.

Behind the dancing: D. H. Lawrence\u27s Apocalypse and Last Poems
No full textWhen he published D. H. Lawrence\u27s Last Poems, Richard Aldington stated that nobody can really understand and judge these poems until he has made a study of Apocalypse. These works, both published posthumously, are the last imaginative and the last theoretical volumes Lawerence wrote. As the cross-fertilization between the author\u27s creative and critical writing receives increased attention, it seems necessary to examine his final statement in each kind. After the critical treatment of the poetry, especially Last Poems, attention is given to the creative process as Lawrence presents it at the end of his life. In Apocalypse, the poet advocates following an image until it completes its own little circle of meaning, then jumping to another image or plane. This manner of thinking explains the clusters of poems, characteristic of Lawrence, that develop a single theme. Moreover, Lawrence attributes the many layers of meaning in Revelation to the universalizing power of images used as symbols. The breaking of the seven seals symbolizes the death of the microcosm, a progressive separation of four physical natures and three spiritual ones, and the sounding of the seven trumps a corresponding death of the macrocosm. Applying the poet\u27s theory to his practice, I see the method of rotary image-thought as the unifying technique of Last Poems, whereby the author shapes the growing resolve of his death-journeying persona. Human knowing involves iterative abstraction until insight is gained, hence the grappling through workaday poems until a lyric bursts through and the topic, now understood, can be put aside for a new, usually associated, consideration. In Last Poems Lawrence chooses symbolic images, borrowed from not only Revelation, vegetation myths and rebirth rituals as well as ancient philosophy and cosmology. Finallly, I show that the overall action of Last Poems is shaped by the narrative of the seven seals and seven trumps. Complementing the mythic symbolism discussed earlier, an allusive unity results from Lawrence\u27s use of James Pryse\u27s commentary on Revelation. This study of his final poetry in the light of his last theoretical statement, confirms Lawrence\u27s conscious artistry. Behind all the dancing, to use his own words about the Etruscans, was a vision. (Abstract shortened with permission of author.
Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD)
No full textBackgroundDespite national declines in smoking prevalence, disparities that pose challenges to tobacco control efforts exist among rural manufacturing populations. This community case study sought to better understand the dynamics and nuances that facilitate or impede capacity-building efforts in rural communities.ContextTwo rural manufacturing communities in Wisconsin with similar demographic characteristics were chosen for study. One represented farming communities with close proximity to a metropolitan area, and the other represented more isolated communities.MethodsThe qualitative case study used a collaborative approach to collect data in four areas of research: 1) community context, 2) coalition functioning, 3) partnerships, and 4) strategy implementation. Data were analyzed using standard content analysis and triangulated for clarity and consistency.ConsequencesAlthough not all the factors found to influence capacity-building efforts were unique to rural environments, the effects were impacted by rural isolation, small population sizes, local attitudes and beliefs, and lack of diversity and resources. Differences in coalition leadership and strategy implementation influenced the effectiveness of the capacity-building efforts in each community, bringing attention to the unique nature of individual contexts.InterpretationImplementing capacity-building efforts in rural communities requires skilled and dedicated local leaders who have ready access to training and support (i.e., technical, emotional, and financial). Pairing of rural communities with greater use of distance technologies offers a cost-effective approach to reduce isolation and the constraints of financial and human resources
