The Reception of the Poet Geo Dumitrescu in Nowadays Romania and in the German-Speaking World. Including Commented New Translations of Exemplary Poems

Zur Rezeption des Dichters Geo Dumitrescu im heutigen Rumänien und im deutschsprachigen Raum

Author(s): Esther Quicker / Language(s): German / Issue: 1 (11)/2010

Keywords: Romanian literature; Geo Dumitrescu; post-war poetry; communism; avant-garde; surrealism; translation Romanian-German

The article begins with a short introduction to the life and work of the Romanian writer Geo Dumitrescu (1920–2004), who is considered to be a path-breaking poet of the post-war generation, and to the discourse about the ideological impact of the communist party on his lyrics. Furthermore, it treats the perception of the writer in nowerdays Romania, outlining the debates between literary critics about his positioning in the Romanian history of literature, his meaning for the following generations of writers and the character of his work: poetry versus anti-poetry, mysticism versus realism, irony versus lack of humour and dogmatism. In addition, this contribution contains comparative observations about the perception of Dumitrescu’s lyrics in the German-speaking world and searches for reasons for the fact that he’s largely unknown in this context. The included analysis of three exemplary poems contains, at first, a short interpretation with regards to style, form and content, as well as a critical examination of the translations of the selected lyrics by reputable translators. These are opposed to commented new translations by the author of this contribution, aiming to correspond to the specifics of Dumitrescu’ s language to the greatest possible extent. Hereby, the outlined character of his lyrics is illustrated in more detail.

On The First Proof Of The Name "Roter Turm"

Zum ersten Beleg des Namens »Roter Turm« im Altdurchbruch

Author(s): Gerhardt Hochstrasser / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/1988

Keywords: Roter Turm; Transylvania;

Ernst Wagner benutzte beim Verfassen seiner grundlegenden Arbeit >>Historisch-statistisches Ortsnamenbuch für Siebenbürgen<< I) eine sehr reiche Literatur. Dem Unterzeichner ist allerdings aufgefallen, daß er als erste urkundliche Nennung des »Roten Turmes<< im Altdurchbruch das Jahr 1453 angibt. AufS. 354 schreibt er: » 1453 geben die Hermannstädter die vom Altdurchbruch zu weit entfernte Grenzburg Talmesch auf und errichten statt dessen im Paß selbst zwei Türme mit Sperrsystemen, darunter auch den sogenannten Roten Turm, der dem Paß den Namen gibt.

Confrontations and Controversies in the Theory of Talcott Parsons

Confrontations and Controversies in the Theory of Talcott Parsons

Author(s): Uta Gerhardt / Language(s): English / Issue: 03/2017

Keywords: Talcott Parsons; history of sociology; American sociology; system theory; public intellectuals

Since the turn of the 1960s, Talcott Parsons’ social thought has met with criticism that his image of society is conservative inasmuch as he places consensus and systematic concept formation over and above conflict and ‘sociological imagination’. The hidden agenda in this criticism is political: the charges are that Parsons supposedly disavows democracy in his implicit or explicit knowledge aim, and that his sociology presumably makes society function even at the expense of freedom of the individual. Here the author argues that these accusations cannot stand if archival materials such as lecture notes, correspondence, and unpublished memoranda are taken into account. She claims that Parsons in his sociology conceptualised society from the standpoint of the real world of the day, including the major historical confrontations from the 1930s to the end of the 1970s. The first such scenario and the earliest confrontation that his work faced was in the era of the New Deal and the Second World War as the Anglo-Saxon democracies fought the racist imperialism of Nazi Germany; his ‘middle phase’ from the 1950s to the mid-1960s coincides with the Cold War at its height, the standoff between the capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union; and his ‘late oeuvre’ has yet another agenda, namely the Watergate Affair, but also the struggle for racial equality and university reform in the United States. In his theoretical positions and in his opposition to his critics, Parsons defended liberal democracy against the powerful social and intellectual forces that put it to the test.

Appeal for the rescue of Dubrovnik professors from German universities

Apel za spas Dubrovnika profesora njemačkih sveučilišta

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 04/1991

Keywords: appeal; Dubrovnik; Germany; universities;

Evropa gleda. Ona gleda kako se u Hrvatskoj protjeruje 500.000 ljudi iz svoga zavičaja. Ona promatra napadački rat čije je izbijanje čak omogućila politika što ustrajava na fikciji Jugoslavija. Ona promatra rat u Evropi koji zahtijeva nebrojene žrtve i iskazuje se u rušenju crkava i samostana kao rat istrebljenja i sustavnoga razaranja jedne nacionalne kulture.

PROVERBES ET MÉTAPHORES DANS LE LANGAGE CULINAIRE ANGLAIS

PROVERBS AND METAPHORS IN THE ENGLISH CULINARY LANGUAGE

Author(s): Adina Matrozi-Marin / Language(s): English / Issue: 15/2016

Keywords: culinary language. proverbs. metaphors.

Food is “an essential source to survival with great symbolic force, food has been central to human history”. (Fellner, 2013: 243). The aim of this article is to emphasize the strong relationship between food and cooking, on the one hand, and language and communication, on the other. Culinary words and concepts infiltrated local sayings and proverbs in English culture, thus becoming important pieces of cultural and historical evidence, if reliably dated. Culinary metaphors are equally important, as they reflect and reveal cultural and social realities.

Translating Biblical Poetry as Poetry

Translating Biblical Poetry as Poetry

Author(s): Lénart J. de Regt / Language(s): English / Issue: 53/2021

Keywords: Bible translation; Biblical poetry; genre; meter; target language convention;

After an introduction into translating biblical poetry as a new communication event in the target culture (and not as a documentation of a source culture event), an analysis is made of a Dutch poetic translation of Psalms 23 and 121 and a Frisian poetic translation of Psalm 23. Of the poetic features and means of expression in these translations, Dutch and Frisian patterns ofmeter are the most important. When a poetic translation of biblical poetry follows genre conventions of the target language and culture (rather than attempting but failing to reproduce the poetic features of the source text), such a translation is able to generate a new, direct communication event that reduces the distance between the hearer/receiver of the target culture and the text of the source culture. Such a translation engages the hearer more effectively in responding to the text, because the poetic features of the target language facilitate the expressive, appellative and phatic functions of the communication. This should be an encouragement to translators to render different types of biblical poetry into different genres and poetic patterns of the target language that will actually fit the subject matter of the text into the context of the target culture.

The Uruguay River: A Permeable Border in South America

The Uruguay River: A Permeable Border in South America

Author(s): Eunice Nodari,Marcos Gerhardt / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: biodiversity; forests; Uruguay River; parks; landscapes;

The Uruguay River basin in South America has held a social, cultural, environmental, and economic relevance for many centuries. The river flows for about two-thousand kilometers, linked to an important remnant of native forest, the Selva Misionera in Argentina, and to a Brazilian conservation unit for biodiversity, the Turvo State Park. The Uruguay River is fed by several other important rivers, forming a basin region in which thousands of people live and work. The history of the Uruguay River is intensively linked to the permeable borders between Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay where different social groups circulated in diverse historical time periods. Forests along the river played a very important role with emphasis on the extraction and trade of yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis, Saint-Hilaire), a forest product widely consumed in southern America, and also the timber extraction from native forests, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As a result, a profound socio-environmental transformation took place with the reconstruction of regional landscapes shaped by the Uruguay River basin.

THE WRITER FACING THE WORLD: MIRCEA CARTARESCU S POSTURE IN INTERVIEWS FOR AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING AUDIENCE

L’ÉCRIVAIN FACE AU MONDE : LA CONDUITE DE MIRCEA CĂRTĂRESCU DANS LES ENTRETIENS POUR UN PUBLIC ANGLOPHONE

Author(s): Anca-Raluca Socaci / Language(s): French / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: literary posture; Mircea Cărtărescu; interviews; world literary space; Pascale Casanova;

Using the concept of “literary posture” proposed by Alain Viala, this paper aims to analyse Mircea Cărtărescu’s attitude in online interviews for an English-speaking audience between 2011 and 2019, in order to integrate the observations into a broader reflection on how the Romanian author positions himself in the world literary space. In this sense, we will refer, on the one hand, to the socio-political position and, on the other hand, to the literary aesthetics, considering primarily the image of Bucharest in the work (but also in the life) of the writer. Following these two directions, we can notice an expansive tendency, of transgressing the national, as well as of universalization, both in terms of interactions in the political field and of cultural landmarks. In addition, the author mobilizes a network of references for the construction of an internalized and, thus, delocalized textual Bucharest, building at the same time his position owing to a neo-romantic heritage. Following this process of figuration, the image of an uprooted humanist writer emerges. He projects his work for a foreign audience by virtue of a Western canon/ shared social and political values and against the national complexes that he displays nonetheless in interviews. The ambivalence of this posture, both confident and hesitant, benefits from the analysis of the possible trajectories on the road to consecration, showing in time the triumph of the illusion that envelops the struggle for symbolic power (illusio).
