Around the world in eighty gays : retranslating Jules Verne from a queer perspective
Full text linkStudies 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

Letter to Verne C. Parker (August 3, 1917)
No full textA letter to Verne C. Parker with no date included. It is not sure who has written the letter, but the letter was with other letters written and sent to Ralph L. Cheney. In the letter, the author states that he was happy to hear of Verne's whereabouts and recaps how the College is doing. The author also mentions Verne's outstanding balance and how that money could help others.Item is creased thus making some sentences hard to read.

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
The First Festschrift Dedicated to Jules Verne
Full text linkSometimes chance leads us down paths that we did not intend to travel, or perhaps we did without realizing it.
If, during the Second World War, a good protestant minister had not welcomed Bernard Frank, if later he had not invited him to give a lecture on Jules Verne in a Swiss village where Jean-Michel Margot lived, if Jean-Michel had not attended, perhaps he would not have bought a biography of Jules Verne and asked its author, Bernard Frank, to sign it for him.
And what's next? Probably Jean-Michel would not have been so attracted to Verne and would not have started his incredible collection..
