Les autofrictions de Harry Mathews
No full textInternational audienceAu tournant des années 80, les fictions réflexives de Harry Mathews délaissent les formes bariolées des premières vastes narrations romanesques, aux accents parfois rousselliens. La disparition de Perec fonce et fronce parfois les traits d’une écriture qui, ne renonçant pas pour autant aux procédés ou aux contraintes, resserre les récits autour du sujet écrivant. Aux prises avec un quotidien que l’on s’efforce de scander et de baliser, Mathews épuise, recombine et « littérarise » celui-ci plutôt que de laisser l’initiative aux cahots et soubresauts de la vie.La « friction » détermine donc les stratégies d’écritures mises en œuvre par Mathews pour articuler, croiser, entremêler dans ses textes, ces deux espaces génériques a priori inconciliables que sont la Fiction d’une part, et le Journal et des formes autobiographiques, qu’on sait plus référentielles

Literary semiotics in the early works of Harry Mathews
No full textThis thesis is concerned with the early works of American novelist Harry Mathews { in particular the literary semiotics of Mathews' The Sink- ing of the Odradek Stadium. The work also sets out to deal with Mathews' relationship to the avant-garde collective Oulipo (Ouvroir de Litt¶erature Po- tentielle/Workshop for Potential Literature) and the collective's project of formal experimentation. \Potential literature," treated as a function of sign systems, is approached through a comparative analysis of structures and re- lations found in seemingly disconnected branches of mathematics
Fearful Symmetries
No full textÀ partir du travail effectué en collaboration avec ses traducteurs Georges Perec et Marie Chaix, Harry Mathews montre que pour réaliser une «traduction efficace», la fidélité à la fonction esthétique doit modifier ou remplacer la fidélité au sens nominal. Selon lui, la présence de langues écrites normatives en Europe continentale entrave une traduction efficace à partir de l 'anglais, ce qui ne peut être surmonté qu 'en remplaçant la notion de traduction comme interprétation normative par celle de traduction comme invention à part entière.Mathews Harry.

Harry Mathews e la traduzione: il gioco e l'identità
No full textIl presente lavoro indaga la poetica dello scrittore americano Harry Mathews e la sua attività traduttologica in relazione a quella dei traduttori ideali: Georges Perec e Marie Chaix. Data la centralità della riscrittura nel suo corpus, la traduzione assurge a grimaldello ermeneutico per enucleare la sotterranea dialettica che imbriglia la sua scrittura
Harry Pepper Fonds
No full textThe fonds consists of newspaper articles written by Harry Pepper from the Rossland Miner and the Trail Times.Born in 1913, Harry Pepper spent most of his youth in Suffolk, England, before immigrating to Canada in 1929. He spent his early years in Canada working on farms during the summer months, and in the bush during the winter. In 1940 he enlisted for the war, and joined the RoyaL Canadian Artillery, fighting in the 8th Canadian Field Regiment. During the war, Harry served in England, North Africa, Italy, France, Belgium and Holland. While overseas, he married, and his new family returned to Canada in 1945. He moved to Trail as a foreman of the 4X Bakery in 1946, and was later employed by Buchan’s Bakery. In 1949 he began working at Cominco, and stayed there until his retirement. Harry Pepper was incredibly active in the sports community in Rossland, and volunteered with soccer, baseball, softball, lacrosse, and hockey. He was also an avid Curler and Golfer. He wrote a sports column for the Rossland Miner called “As I See It” and stayed with the newspaper until the building burned down and it subsequently went out of business. On his 60th birthday, he was asked to do a sports column in the Trail Daily Times called “Pepp Talk”
Collected poems 1946-2016
No full text"Harry Mathews (1930-2017) was among the most inventive and unorthodox writers of his generation. His novels earned comparisons to Vladimir Nabokov and Thomas Pynchon and bear the mark of one who learned "never to settle for results that are merely reassuring." But Mathews was a poet first, and he prized poetry for its transformational and redemptive power. Collected Poems: 1946-2016 gathers seven prior collections, together with poems never before published in book form. Poems dedicated to John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, James Schuyler, and Kenneth Koch show Mathews's origins alongside the poets of the New York School. Others reveal his obsession with the puzzles that animate the Oulipo, the famous French fraternity of writers and mathematicians, in which Mathews was the sole American member. But Mathews's work transcends these affiliations. His maverick avant-gardism is all his own, nourished by wellsprings of romanticism and metaphysical fervor, in dialogue with literature, music, and art from the medieval to the modern period. For Mathews, it was "much more interesting to be curious about a riddle than to find its solution." His ability to fuse the world of facts with the utterly new wildernesses of his imagining will give readers much to look for, while his sensuality, wit, and deep feeling for life's beauties, sorrows, and absurdities are their own rewards. With an introduction by Daniel Levin Becker, who has succeeded Mathews as the only American member of the Oulipo, Collected Poems: 1946-2016 augments and clarifies the extraordinary achievement of a singular American writer"-
