Shakespeare na Itália: construção intersemiótica de Re Lear e La tempesta em Giorgio Strehler
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2014.O objetivo desta pesquisa reside em analisar o processo criativo e artístico do diretor italiano Giorgio Strehler na produção e direção de duas peças shakespearianas: Rei Lear e A Tempestade. As montagens teatrais, intituladas pelo diretor como Re Lear e La Tempesta, foram encenadas, respectivamente, em 1972 e 1978, no Piccolo Teatro de Milão, na Itália, e foram muito importantes para a sociedade italiana da época. Dessa forma, no estudo das produções italianas, busca-se explorar, com base nos conceitos de Tradução Intersemiótica, as passagens mais relevantes e/ou mais reveladoras para o contexto sóciopolítico italiano da época e que influenciaram, de alguma forma, a tradição shakespeariana na dramaturgia italiana. As análises mostraram que Strehler buscou, tanto em Re Lear, quanto em La Tempesta, evidenciar a metateatralidade existente nas respectivas peças shakespearianas e, com isso, gerar uma reflexão acerca do teatro e sua função social, política, histórica e civil em determinada sociedade, tempo e espaço.Abstract : This research aims at analysing the creative and artistic process of the Italian diretor Giorgio Strehler in the production and direction of two Shakespearian playtexts: King Lear and The tempest. The Italian productions -- entitled Re Lear and La Tempesta -- were staged, respectively, in 1972 and in 1978, at Piccolo Teatro di Milano, Italy, and were important to the Italian society of the time. Thus, in the analysis of the productions, I attempted to explore, based on concepts of Intersemiotic Translation, the most revealing and/or relevant passages to the Italian socio-political context of the time that influenced, in a way or another, the Shakespearian tradition in Italian dramaturgy. The analyses have shown that Strehler attempted to highlight -- in both productions -- the metatheatricality that exists in these Shakespearian playtexts and, from this perspective, encourage a reflection upon theater and its social, political, historical, and civic functions in a certain society, time, and space
EXPERIENTIAL MEANING BREADTH AND GRAMMATICAL COMPLEXITY REALIZATION VARIATIONS OF W. SHAKESPEARE’S KING LEAR AND J. CROWTHER’S KING LEAR
No full textThis research is aimed to analyze experiential meaning breadth and
grammatical complexity realization variations of W. Shakespeare’s King Lear and J.
Crowther’s King Lear. This research tries to answer three questions. The first is how
the experiential meaning breadth and grammatical complexity realization variations are
represented in W. Shakespeare’s King Lear and its translation J. Crowther’s King Lear.
The second is what contextual factors motivate the occurrence of the experiential
meaning breadth and grammatical complexity realization variations in question. The
third is what contextual effects resulted from the experiential meaning breadth and
grammatical complexity realization variations in translation context.
This research applied the descriptive qualitative method with the quantitative
data to strengthen the findings. In conducting this research, the data were analyzed
through some steps: reading the ST and the TT of the data, writing all clauses from
both SE and TE in the data sheet, classifying and analyzing the data using experiential
meaning breadth and grammatical complexity realization variation analysis based on
the given parameter, and recapping the data on a table, describing the data in the table
into words, analyzing field, tenor and mode of the texts to find out the motivating
factors, and analyzing the motivating factors to find out the textual and contextual
effects on the texts.
The findings show that the average number of experiential meaning breadth
variation which is placed in level “2” or “low” level and it is shown by the number of
12.18. Meanwhile, the average number of grammatical complexity realization variation
is placed in level “1” or “very low” level and it is shown by the number of 9. Those
low and very low variations show that the translation has achieved a high level of
equivalence in meaning and realization variations, or this translation is translationally
appropriate. Those variations are motivated by many factors. First, the intra-textual
contexts, they are diction, contracted and archaic words, different spelling words,
omission, grammatical principles, and paraphrase. Second, there are also many inter-
textual motivating factors, i.e. inter-related text and situation value (field, tenor, and
mode). Finally, the contextual effects which are caused by motivating factors are the
readability effects towards the target readers of the two texts, in which the target text
follows the grammatical rule of the present time and the purpose of creating the texts
which is to entertain

King Lear and the Gods
No full textMany critics hold that Shakespeare’s King Lear is primarily a drama of meaningful suffering and redemption within a just universe ruled by providential higher powers. William Elton’s King Lear and the Gods challenges the validity of this widespread optimistic view. Testing the prevailing view against the play’s acknowledged sources, and analyzing the functions of the double plot, the characters, and the play’s implicit ironies, Elton concludes that this standard interpretation constitutes a serious misreading of the tragedy.

Lewis, Lear, and The Four Loves
No full text“William Shakespeare is not generally thought of as a religious apologist,” so began the call for papers for this special issue, to which we might reply, C.S. Lewis is not generally thought of as a Shakespeare scholar. But “not generally” is where many of the most exciting research discoveries lie, and, if we can reorient our eyes, we find might discover things hiding in the works of both writers who are “not generally” viewed through these lenses. Besides, I always caution my students to be specific and avoid generalizations (inevitably using a generalization to make my point), so I suppose I ought to practice what I preach. This essay explores how Lewis uses King Lear in his discussion of affection in The Four Loves. My goal is both to describe how Lewis does so and what that reveals about Shakespeare’s apologetic capacity and potential.[1] Along the way, I hope to show, as well, how Lewis anticipates the contemporary swerve towards “affect studies,” especially in Shakespearean drama
