Hardboiled American detective fiction: the novels of Ross Macdonald, Mickey Spillane & Robert B. Parker
No full textA careful, but brief study of the works of Dashiell Hammett and his immediate heir, Raymond Chandler, will reveal the potential of the hardboiled literary style, and the base from which we can measure, in greater detail, the contributions of the genre\u27s modern practitioners, particularly Ross Macdonald, Mickey Spillane, and the more contemporary Robert Parker. In evaluating these very different writers, we will consider three key elements of their fiction: 1) the nature of their detective-protagonist; 2) the nature of evil/crime: 3) the attitude of the hero/author towards women, love, and the family. In examining these sylistic features and the complexity and depth with which Hammett and Chandler dealt with them, we will have become more familiar with the potential style and content of this school, qualifying us to draw conclusions about the evolution of the genre since then, and to examine reasons for its enduring popularity
A literatura brasileira traduzida nos EUA: abordagem descritiva e paratexto
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2014.O presente trabalho analisa as traduções de obras de literatura brasileira nos Estados Unidos do ano 2000 até 2013. Interessa-nos saber o que está sendo traduzido e como são apresentadas essas traduções para o público. Para tanto, partimos da ideia de Gideon Toury (2012), de que traduções são fatos da cultura de chegada e baseamos nossa análise na teoria dos Estudos Descritivos da Tradução, do qual Toury é precursor. Fazendo uso do conceito de normas de Toury (2012), buscamos entender o que guia a escolha das obras a serem traduzidas no sistema norte-americano. Analisamos as capas dessas obras sob a perspectiva de Gérard Genette (2009), apresentada na obra Paratextos Editorias, para descobrir como essas traduções estão sendo apresentadas para o público.Abstract : This research analyzes the translation of brazilian literature in the United States from the year 2000 until the year 2013. We are interested in knowing what is being translated and how these translations are presented to the public . The starting point was Gideon Toury?s (2012) idea of translations as facts of the culture who recieves them. We base our analysis on the theory of Descriptive Translation Studies, of which Toury is the precursor. Basen upon the concept of norms, as defined by Toury (2012) , we seek to understand what drives the choice of works to be translated in the North-American system. We analyze the covers of these works from the perspective of Gérard Genette (2009) , presented in the work Paratext : thresholds of interpretation , to discover how these translations are being presented to the public
