From Suspicion to Trust: The ‘Pact of Translation’ in Two Author-Translator Collaborations
No full textThere is a vast literature showing that author-translator relationships are often fraught with tensions which undermine trust between the two parties (Anokhina 2017; Hersant, 2017, 2020). These tensions are hardly detectable from the sole comparison of source and target texts but are likely to be revealed in archival material such as editorial correspondence or revised translator’s typescripts and galley proofs. The examination of archival material makes it possible to observe how trust between translator and author develops and deepens, but also how it can be jeopardized when other intermediaries come into play. This paper focuses on documents taken from the Lilly Library at the University of Indiana Bloomington. Both epitextual sources (such as correspondence with publishers and authors) and genetic sources (such as translators’ manuscripts and notebooks) pertaining to translators William Weaver (1923-2012) and Barbara Wright (1915-2009) are examined, with a view to better understand the complex interplay of trust and mistrust that takes place in translation collaborations
Pascale Drouet, Love’s Labour’s Lost
No full textWith its concise historical contextualizing and its pertinent approaches to analysis, Pascale Drouet’s recent publication provides the oft-overlooked play the critical acknowledgment it greatly deserves. It is especially designed for francophone students of Shakespeare, bringing together some of the most artfully-couched and enlightening insights from other prominent critical works, continental and other. In “Repères,” the author makes use of those biographical and historical elements that sh..
How the horizontal social clause can be made to work: the lessons of gender mainstreaming
No full textThe author of this Policy Brief, Pascale Vielle, Lecturer at the University of Louvain, identifies the potential benefits and likely pitfalls associated with the Horizontal Social Clause in Article 9 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union in the light of the experience of the gender mainstreaming clause. She shows that only a firm commitment on the part of all relevant European actors can ensure the successful development of horizontal policies on the scale of the EU
Sull'obbligo degli Stati di registrare gli accordi internazionali presso il segretariato generale delle Nazioni Unite: il caso Jadhav
No full textThis paper discusses the Jadhav case submitted to the ICJ by India against Pakistan on 8 May 2017. The case concerns the alleged violation of the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations with regard to the detention and trial of an Indian national who was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court. Pakistan claimed to have applied the 2008 bilateral Agreement on Consular Access, providing that “in case of arrest, detention or sentence made on political or security grounds, each side may examine the case on its merits”. Nonetheless, according to India, the bilateral Agreement cannot be invoked before the ICJ, as it was not promptly registered with the UN Secretariat, inconsistently with Article 102 of the UN Charter. The author does not share such a formalistic interpretation of Article 102. This provision aims at discouraging secret treaties. Since the bilateral Agreement has never been secret, it could be invoked before the ICJ regardless of its registration. Hence, it was not necessary for Pakistan to register the bilateral Agreement after India had instituted proceedings before the ICJ
La tutela dei diritti umani in Africa: origini, istituzione e attività della Corte africana dei diritti dell’uomo e dei popoli
No full textThe Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the establishment of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, adopted in Ouagadougou in 1998, came into force in 2004 representing an important step forward for Africa. This article examines the origins of the African Court, highlighting the different factors that up to the 1990s had prevented, and then later allowed, the creation of such a Court. The social, historical and political background provided in this article, shows how hard it was to establish the first African court for human rights. The organization and the composition of the African Court are described according to similarities and differences with the European and the Inter-American Courts on Human Rights. Particular attention is given to the new rule on the exclusion of a judge who is citizen of a State in dispute before the Court. The very broad advisory jurisdiction of the African Court is examined in comparison with those of other regional Human Rights jurisdictions. Furthermore, this article highlights how contentious the jurisdiction of the Court is. This is examined in relation to two questions: subject matter jurisdiction and personal jurisdiction. Particular emphasis is given to the role of individuals and NGOs, which can bring cases directly before the Court only if the State concerned has made a declaration accepting the competence of the Court in this regard. The activities undertaken so far by the African Court are described in the last paragraph. After a brief mention of the first case dealt with by the Court, the author focuses on the Libyan affair. The order for provisional measures adopted in March 2011 is examined and developments regarding the Libyan case are investigated, bearing in mind the great changes that have taken place in Tripoli in the meantime
Letture di Temistio tra il XIV e il XV secolo
No full textThis paper aims to complete the survey of all extant witnesses of Themi- stius, orationes IV-V-VII-IX-X (a corpusculum of late antique origin), by means of analysis and collation of the text transmitted by four mss. which contain excerpts or single speeches: namely mss. Heidelberg, Universitätsbibliothek, Pal. gr. 129 (K); Torino, Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria, B.V.33 (T); Firenze, Biblioteca Riccardiana, 12 (E); Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, gr. 2967 (c). A brief description of the manuscripts is provided and their relationships with other wit- nesses of Themistius’ speeches are established; hence the four mss. find place in the stemma codicum drawn up by the author in a previous work. Finally, the re- sults of new research about some important witnesses of Themistius’ speeches are presented: in particular, most of the manuscripts appear to have beeen copied and studied during the Palaeologan Period (XIII-XIV century), between Thessaloniki and Constantinople
Ricordando Mario Pascale, un maestro irpino del Novecento
No full textL’autore traccia un profilo completo della personalità del pittore irpino del Novecento Mario Pascale, un autentico maestro del figurativismo italiano. Si evidenziano la ricchezza tematica e l’esperienza maturata riprendendo modi e apporti dei maggiori esponenti della scuola dell’Ottocento a Napoli e a contatto con i protagonisti della pittura partenopea del primo Novecento. Si riscontra nei “ritratti” e negli “autoritratti”, oltre che nelle nature morte e nei poetici paesaggi della terra irpina, la nota di maggiore distinzione stilistica dell’artista che segna con la sua originale produzione pittorica la linea di continuità della migliore tradizione napoletana, meridionale più in generale, e con la modernità del Novecento italiano.The author traces a complete profile of the personality of the twentieth-century Irpinia painter Mario Pascale, an authentic master of Italian figurativism. The thematic richness and experience gained by taking up the ways and contributions of the major exponents of the nineteenth century school in Naples and in contact with the protagonists of Neapolitan painting of the early twentieth century are highlighted. The note of his greatest stylistic distinction is marked by his original pictorial production according to the best Neapolitan tradition (more generally to southern Italy and the modernity of the Italian twentieth century). This distinction could be found in the “portraits” and “self-portraits”, as well as in the still lifes and poetic landscapes of the Irpinia area
« Cet obscur objet du désir » : l’objet de collection dans la fiction fitzgeraldienne
No full textThis paper seeks to demonstrate both the strategic and the heuristic role of collections in Fitzgerald's fiction. While they reveal the heroes' (sexual) desire, they also expose a double system of reference which is both mimetic and reflexive. They are thus symptomatic objects exhibiting a close link not only between desire and fiction but also between collector and author throughout the novelist's work.Antolin Pascale. « Cet obscur objet du désir » : l’objet de collection dans la fiction fitzgeraldienne.

Phu mkhar rdzong, un lieu de pèlerinage au Ladakh
No full textAbstract Phu mkhar rdzong, a pilgrimage site in Ladakh This paper describes the pilgrimage of Phu mkhar rdzong, a sacred place "opened" by Padmasambhava and still venerated by Buddhists, but situated in Purig (Western Ladakh), a region inhabited mostly by Ladakhi Muslims. The description of the place given in "the new explanation of the holy site" (gnas bshadgso ma), written in 1993 by rTogs Jdan Rin po che, the head of the 'Bri gung pa school in Ladakh who had a long career in Ladakhi politics, is compared with the discourse and behaviour of lay pilgrims. On the basis of this study, the author questions the revitalisation of the pilgrimage and, more generally, the awakening of "national" consciousness among Ladakhi Buddhists along religious / communal lines.Dollfus Pascale. Phu mkhar rdzong, un lieu de pèlerinage au Ladakh. In: Bulletin de l'Ecole française d'Extrême-Orient. Tome 86, 1999. pp. 33-64
Hegel and Spinoza:Negativity in Contemporary Theory
No full textWhether under the name of lack, nothingness, non-being, void, splitting, torsion, or clinamen, the problem of negativity is central to contemporary philosophy. The hypothesis of this workshop is that many of the current debates revolving around this key issue—from Lacanians and Deleuzians, Althusserians and Heideggerians, philosophers of contradiction and antagonism and thinkers of affirmation and multiplicity—consist in a productive repetition of one of the crucial controversies of 19th century thought, summed up by the names ‘Hegel and Spinoza’. Gregor Moder will present his paper “Hegel and Spinoza. Negativity in Contemporary Theory”, followed by a response by Pascale Gillot, and time for discussion.Gregor Moder researches “The Structure of the Void” and teaches “Philosophy of Art” at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. He is also a research fellow in the Theory Department of the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht, The Netherlands. His book on Hegel and Spinoza will appear in German translation with Turia+Kant in 2012. Pascale Gillot, a former ICI Fellow, is a researcher in Philosophy at the Institut d’Histoire de la Pensée Classique, ENS de Lyon. After a PhD Dissertation dedicated to the issue of parallelism in Spinoza’s philosophy, her work has focused on a confrontation between early-modern and contemporary models of mind and subjectivity. She is the author of Althusser et la psychanalyse (PUF, 2009)
