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.

Central state child care policies in postauthoritarian Spain: Implications for gender and carework arrangements
No full textIn Spain, public preschool programs have continuously expanded in the past three decades. However, this education policy has done little to support increases in the proportion of women in the paid workforce. Preschool is not child care because the former does not address the care needed by children younger than three years old and offers programs with short hours and long holidays.Publicad
Understanding \u3ci\u3eMahon\u3c/i\u3e in Historical Context
No full textDespite its enormous influence on constitutional law, Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Mahon is just such an opinion; the primary purpose of the author’s article Jam for Justice Holmes: Reassessing the Significance of Mahon is to clarify Holmes\u27s intent by placing the opinion in historical context and in the context of Holmes\u27s other opinions. While other scholars have also sought to place Mahon in context, his account differs in large part because of its recognition, as part of the background of Mahon, of a separate line of cases involving businesses affected with a public interest.
The author argues that at the time Holmes wrote Mahon, cases involving businesses affected with a public interest were the only ones in which the constitutionality of regulations turned on the effect those regulations had on property values. Previous scholars have either overlooked these cases altogether or collapsed them in with other substantive due process cases without recognizing their analytic distinctiveness. The consistent treatment of Mahon as a conservative decision follows. Mahon is sometimes seen as a case that supplemented substantive due process by giving judges a new tool to invalidate statutes; under this view, as a result of Mahon, regulations could, for the first time, be overturned because they diminished value too greatly. Alternately, Mahon is seen as a Lochner-type case, reaffirming the principle that regulations that diminish value were unconstitutional as previously recognized by that line of cases
