An update of the mythical figures of "aller-retour" in Alfred Döblin, Jorge Semprún and Vercors works
No full textLe médecin allemand d'origine juive Alfred Döblin, le jeune résistant espagnol et communiste Jorge Semprún, et l'écrivain-éditeur Vercors (Jean Bruller) ne se connaissent pas et n'ont a priori rien en commun. Pourtant, tous trois ont traversé́ la Seconde Guerre mondiale, par l'exil, la clandestinité ou l'expérience concentrationnaire. Chacun a contribué à la lutte contre le nazisme mais en a également payé le prix. Ces trois hommes, dont seul un – Döblin – était déjà un écrivain confirmé, ont produit à partir de 1945 des œuvres marquées sinon profondément influencées par ces évènements. Ainsi, les évènements historiques nous donnent à lire un exilé, un déporté, et un porte-parole de revenants. Suite à ces expériences, les récits étudiés ici, aussi divers soient-ils dans leur conception, leur scénario, leur narration, et leur style, sont pourtant marqués par un même traumatisme du déplacement, aussi bien dans leur aller que dans leur tentative de retour. Comment retranscrire l'aller et accomplir son retour ? Remise en cause des valeurs traditionnelles, quête identitaire, questionnement anthropologique, subversion du discours et des mythes : telles sont les pistes explorées dans ces textes, à l'actualité troublante.German doctor of Jewish origin Alfred Döblin, young Spanish resistance fighter and communist Jorge Semprún, and writer-publisher Vercors (Jean Bruller) did not know each other and have nothing in common. However, all three went through the Second World war, through exile, clandestinity, or the concentration camp experience. Each contributed to the fight against Nazism but also paid the price. Among these three men, only Döblin was already a confirmed writer. However, they all produced works from 1945 onwards that were marked, if not deeply influenced, by these events. Thus, historical events present to us an exile, a deportee, and a spokesman for ghosts. Following these experiences, the stories studied here, although diverse in their conception, scenario, narrative, and style, are nevertheless marked by the same trauma of displacement, both in their journey and in their attempt to return. How could the outward journey be transcribed? Is there a possibility of returning to the life they once knew? Traditional values, identity quest, ontological questioning, subversion of discourse and myths: these are the paths explored in these texts, which are disturbingly topical
Plaidoyer pour un monde métis
No full textNuselovici previously wrote two books (with François Laplantine) approaching 'métissage' (cross-cultural hybridity) within the framework of cultural anthropology. This one had another goal : to present 'métissage' as a possibility for a new being-together relevant to contemporary multicultural societies by studying examples from sociological as well as aesthetical realities (in music and literature)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Order and disorder in Caribbean consciousness through French and English Caribbean literature (1981-2017) : a comparative approach
No full textSi le monde caribéen se présente géographiquement sous sa forme archipélique, il n’en reste pas moins que les convergences, en matière historique, sociologique, anthropologique et littéraire s’avèrent plus nombreuses que les différences dans l’analyse de ses composantes. Nous avons ainsi procédé à une cartographie de l’imaginaire et de la conscience caribéenne dans une approche descriptive transnationale confrontant des auteurs francophones et anglophones issus des territoires de la Caraïbe. Le relevé des thèmes communs à ces écritures, qui comprend l’histoire, obsession caribéenne au regard de sa nature raturée et fragmentée, l’enfance, source féconde pour la chronique mémorielle, l’exil auquel sont confrontés la plupart des auteurs, la spiritualité, vive et composite et enfin la folie, porteuse de sens, s’est organisé en épreuves et réponses à ce qui constitue ce que l’on peut nommer le chaos caribéen que chacun des auteurs traduit et déchiffre à sa manière.If the caribbean world is geographically presented in its archipelagic form, the fact remains that the convergences in historical, sociological, anthropological and literary terms are more numerous than the differences in the analysis of its components. We have thus proceeded to a cartography of the caribbean imagination and consciousness in a transnational descriptive approach confronting Francophone and Anglophone authors from caribbean territories. The list of themes common to these writings, which includes history, a caribbean obsession in view of its erased and fragmented nature, childhood, a fertile source for the memorial chronicle, the exile with which most of the authors are confronted, spirituality, lively and composite, and finally madness, a bearer of meaning, has been organised into trials and answers to what can be called the caribbean chaos that each of the authors translates and deciphers in his or her own way
Al crocevia tra Self-Translation Studies e Cultural Studies: auto-traduzione e produzione translingue nell’emigrazione femminile dissidente
No full textQuesta tesi si propone di approfondire lo studio dell’autotraduzione e della creazione letteraria translingue nel XX secolo, considerate come manifestazioni dell’emergere di una coscienza letteraria e autoriale femminista.
La ricerca interroga la portata e il significato di queste pratiche attraverso un corpus di scrittrici provenienti da tre contesti politici distinti: la Russia sovietica, l’Italia fascista e il movimento per l’indipendenza portoricana.
Il contributo teorico di questo studio si inserisce nel quadro della riflessione linguistica e letteraria poststrutturalista, prestando particolare attenzione alla genetica testuale nell’analisi delle bozze di autotraduzioni. Questo impianto teorico permette di far emergere una parte dimenticata della letteratura dissidente che, attraverso la pratica autotraduttiva associata alla condizione dell’esilio, apre una riflessione sull’uguaglianza dei generi sessuali e testuali nella letteratura. In quest’ottica, e alla luce del pensiero psicoanalitico femminile di ispirazione poststrutturalista, le analisi testuali mirano a far emergere tratti specifici nella corporalità sessuale e testuale delle opere di Elsa Triolet, Alba de Céspedes e Giannina Braschi.
La metodologia adottata si basa su una doppia logica comparativa: da un lato, tra le due versioni di una stessa opera; dall’altro, tra le autotraduzioni o i testi translingui di diverse autrici. Questo approccio consente di mettere in discussione i paradigmi teorici e metodologici della letteratura comparata, fondati sui principi di orizzontalità e verticalità, al fine di pensare una specificità poietica circolare, del gesto comparativo e traduttivo.
L’obiettivo è dimostrare che, attraverso il prisma dei Feminist Translation Studies, l’autotraduzione permette di interrogare l’atto traduttivo al di là dei paradigmi dominanti binari e monolingui.
This thesis aims to deepen the study of self-translation and translingual literary creation in the twentieth century, conceived as manifestations of the emergence of a feminist literary and authorial consciousness.
The research examines the significance and implications of these practices through a corpus of women writers from three distinct political contexts: Soviet Russia, Fascist Italy, and the Puerto Rican independence movement.
The theoretical contribution of this research is anchored in poststructuralist linguistic and literary thought, with particular attention to textual genetics in the study of self-translation drafts. This framework brings to light a neglected facet of dissident literature which, through the practice of self-translation linked to the condition of exile engages with issues of gender equality, both sexual and textual, in literature. From this perspective, and informed by poststructuralist-inspired feminine psychoanalytic theory, textual analyses aim to uncover specific traits in the sextualized embodiment of the works of Elsa Triolet, Alba de Céspedes, and Giannina Braschi.
The adopted methodology follows a dual comparative logic: on the one hand, between the two versions of a given work; on the other hand, between the self-translations or translingual texts of different authors. This approach serves to challenge the theoretical and methodological paradigms of comparative literature, based on the principles of horizontality and verticality, in order to propose a poietic specificity of the comparative and translational act that is more circular.
The aim is to show that, through the lens of Feminist Translation Studies, self-translation offers a way to question the act of translation beyond dominant binary and monolingual paradigms
