Oscar Wilde : a Victorian sage in a modern age
No full textThis paper assesses Oscar Wilde’s reaction to the fin de siècle and argues against his widely-accepted position as a main figure in the English avant-garde movement, a view which major literary critics such as Peter Gay, Sos Eltis and S. I. Salamensky promote today. Based on Foucault’s definition of modernity as ‘a break with tradition' rather than a specific time, I argue that Wilde was not the modernist author he is widely perceived as, but a conventional Victorian sage who cleverly adopted, and tailored, the fashion of his time to deliver his thoroughly traditional teachings. The paper is split into five sections. The first of deals with Wilde’s creation of his dandy self and the influences of Carlyle, Arnold and Christ over him; the second section examines Ruskin’s influence over Wilde’s theory of art, and Wilde’s self-perception; the third section continues to examine the influence of the Victorian sages on Wilde by exploring his criticism of contemporary modernity in some of his works; the fourth and fifth sections deal with Wilde’s views on the roles of the sexes and his homosexuality respectively, and weigh these views, through further close analysis of his works, against the argument of his modernity. The research ends by asserting that Oscar Wilde was thoroughly Victorian in his views and themes, and that he perceived himself as a sage for his modern age.peer-reviewe
Valérie Raby
No full textValérie Raby La disparition brutale de Valérie nous laisse en état de choc et de sidération. Le vide qu’elle laisse est immense et les mots sont insuffisants pour dire qui elle était, ce qu’elle représentait pour nous et ce qu’elle a accompli. Il y a surtout une cruauté insoutenable à devoir aujourd’hui retracer son parcours académique interrompu parce que l’ordre des choses aurait dû être qu’il se prolonge longtemps et qu’elle accomplisse les projets qu’elle dessinait dans sa vie de cherche..

Francisco y los caminos : la traducción de la prosa poética
No full textColección CILAMPALa propuesta que ofrece Montero Raby, se evidencia cómo la autora acude a métodos de carácter hermenéutico para explorar el texto de Amighetti y así identificar aquellos aspectos que resultaban «problemáticos» para el traductor dentro de un texto que se presume como representativo del subgénero prosa poética. Así, la interpretación de las ideas (a veces elididas), de las imágenes y descripciones, de la sintaxis y la puntuación, de las repeticiones léxicas, de las alusiones intertextuales, de la terminología y del lenguaje metafórico, entre otros aspectos presentes en Francisco y los caminos, fue el mecanismo del que Elena Montero Raby echó mano ya no solo para descifrar desde su propia óptica el texto original, sino también para plantear y fundamentar en combinación con un aparato teórico específico sus decisiones a la hora de abordar la traducción de que aquellos rasgos.The proposal offered by Montero Raby shows how the author resorts to hermeneutic methods to explore Amighetti's text and thus identify those aspects that were “problematic” for the translator within a text that is presumed to be representative of the prose-poetic subgenre. Thus, the interpretation of ideas (sometimes elided), images and descriptions, syntax and punctuation, lexical repetitions, intertextual allusions, terminology and metaphorical language, among other aspects present in Francisco y los caminos, was the mechanism Elena Montero Raby used not only to decipher the original text from her own perspective, but also to propose and support, in combination with a specific theoretical apparatus, her decisions when approaching the translation of those features.Escuela de Literatura y Ciencias del Lenguaj

No full textEpisode 16 of The Swinburne Professional Staff Podcast, with Kristy & Ash we welcome special VIP guest Christie Raby, the Manager of University Events at Swinburne University of Technology.
The episode begins with Christie & Kristy discussing how often our names are mispronounced and also express how excited we are to welcome Christie to the podcast as we dive into a variety of topics related to her role and experiences at Swinburne.
Christie talks about her role, her recent promotion, and managing large events like Open Day and the Staff Christmas event. She shares insights into the challenges and rewarding moments of organizing such events, her pre-event anxieties, and the post-event debriefing process. Christie also reflects on her participation in a women in leadership workshop and we also learn of her proudest achievement at Swinburne.
Hear the moment where Kristy loses her mind over a walkie-talkie! #supercool #wantone
For our professional staff and event staff …. listen in ... because we get a red hot tip from Christie as she provides valuable advice for those organizing events and sharing her thoughts on the theme of "belonging" for the 2023 SPSN Network.
As per usual as we wrap up the pod Ash scores this ep out of 10!
Enjoy the chat and always thank you for listening!
