Ana Maria Matute’nin Olgunluk Dönemi Romani Issiz Cennet’te İmgeler Ve Düşündürdükleri

Ana Maria Matute’nin Olgunluk Dönemi Romani Issiz Cennet’te İmgeler Ve Düşündürdükleri

Author(s): Şebnem Atakan / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 74/2013

It was an arduous work for women writers namely Carmen Martin Gaite, Carmen Laforet, Josefina Aldecoa and Ana Maria Matute to witness the Spanish Civil War and to pursue writing as a career within the oppressive regime of the post-war era. Ana Maria Matute, who published her first novel in 1948, and who has kept on writing since then, has not only endeavored to fulfill the responsibilities as a wife and a mother but also made great sacrifices to be able to continue her career as a writer, a situation faced by many women writers. Looking back to her childhood years where she finds her inspiration, Matute questions the past in her novel Uninhabited Paradise, a novel which she wrote in her eighties. The idea that human personality and character are formed in childhood is a widely accepted and acknowledged perception regarding the human psyche. Indeed, it is during our early years that bitter-sweet life experiences, the first observations of the environment, and essential aspects that influence and shape our view of life and personality are inscribed deeply into our psyche. With her novel Uninhabited Paradise, Matute shares with us, the reader, that it is the cruel and bloody war that enabled her to experience the loss of innocence, in other words the “paradise”, a notion which is only experienced in childhood years.

Analiza prevoda kulturoloških pojmova (kulturema) u romanu „Ansichten eines Clowns“

Analiza prevoda kulturoloških pojmova (kulturema) u romanu „Ansichten eines Clowns“

Author(s): Rada Stakić,Kornelia Tanjga Vidović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 8/2013

By comparing the chosen examples from the novel “Ansichten eines Clowns” by German writer Heinrich Böll, which contain cultural notions of two translations into Serbo-Croatian/Croato-Serbian language, the authors of this paper shed light on the translation processes and discover translation methods at the basis of those processes. The purpose of this analysis is to point to the importance of the cultural competence of translators, as well as the prospective need for new translations of Böll’s novel, which would bring closer to the readers of our time Böll's world and the criticism of German society after WWII.

Analiza prijevoda romana Il Gattopardo u svjetlu kontrastivne lingvistike

Analiza prijevoda romana Il Gattopardo u svjetlu kontrastivne lingvistike

Author(s): Ana Lalić / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 11/2018

In this paper we analyzed the translation of the novel Il gattopardo by the Italian author Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa. We used the Feltrinelli editor's 2013 Italian edition and Mate Maras's translation from the year 1982, published by „Sveučilišna naklada Liber“. We chose this novel because of its specific syntax and lexics which pose a significant challenge for translators and based on the original text it is obvious that it is suitable for contrastive analysis. We did an analytical corpus analysis and we reached the conclusion that we can clearly see differences in the translation between the mechanisms of the two languages. The biggest differences were shown in verb tenses, syntax, the translation (or lack thereof) of foreign words and expressions, and on the semantical and phraseological level. This paper shows that the translator accurately translates the Italian text and adapts it to the language system of the Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian language finding the phraseological and functional equivalents and adapting the text where needed, but that we can also see the influence of the foreign language in the translation and certain mistakes and imprecisions.

Antynomie męskości i erotyczne spojrzenie na męskie ciało w Agnieszce, córce Kolumba Wilhelma Macha

Antynomie męskości i erotyczne spojrzenie na męskie ciało w Agnieszce, córce Kolumba Wilhelma Macha

Author(s): Wojciech Śmieja / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 38/2018

Wilhelm Mach’s novel Agnieszka, córka Kolumba [Agnes, Columbus’ Daughter] (1965) has now largely been forgotten, like the author’s other works, yet, in the 1960’s it used to be highly controversial and provoked numerous arguments. This paper brings the novel back into focus and analyzes the ambiguous and internally incongruous concept of masculinity it presents. The analysis concerns the novel both in the wider contexts of the ideological and aesthetic discussions of the 1960s, and in relation to the author’s earlier works. The author’s personal view on the form of a novel was highly interesting as he conceptualized a well-crafted novel as a “gendered” one: the “masculine” dimension of the epic had to be balanced by the “feminine” element encapsulated in the concentration on details, emotionality, and attentiveness. These ideas being put into practice, “the feminine” in Agnieszka is realized by the romantic plot and eroticization of the constructed-as-feminine gaze on the masculine body, yet under the heteronormative and patriarchal regime the eroticization of this body disrupts the “masculine” narrative and results in an artistic failure and the omnipresent misunderstanding of the author’s intentions.

Approcci interdisciplinari: letteratura e cartografia. Tra immagini e parole

Approcci interdisciplinari: letteratura e cartografia. Tra immagini e parole

Author(s): Fabrizio Di Pasquale / Language(s): Italian / Issue: 4/2017

For twenty years, a large number of works have been devoted to studying the inclusion of literature in space and the representation of places in literary texts. This interest in space issues seems to fit in both the evolution of literary genres, characterized by an increasing spatialization of narrative forms, and the development of artistic practices related to the creation of literary maps. After what has been termed the spatial turn in literary and cultural studies, critics have focused their attention on the relationships among space, place and mapping in literature. This aspect is one of the most interesting themes in the field of Geocriticism. This paper aims to study this “convergence” between literature and cartography, examining the textuality of literary maps and, in particular, their rhetorical dimension. Literary maps can represent the story setting, allowing the author to build a fictional world that readers explore with the characters.

Arnošt Lustig a ti druzí

Arnošt Lustig a ti druzí

Author(s): Jiří Holý / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 1/2018

This article examines changes in the Holocaust/Shoah presentation in literature throughout the several past decades. According to Alvin H. Rosenfeld, the Holocaust is not percieved as an authentic historical event these days and slowly becomes a shared symbol of evil or entertainment. Rosenfeld warns about the possible “end of the Holocaust” in public consciousness. Short stories and novels by Arnošt Lustig are good examples of these changes. Later books by the author accentuate the harsher side of life in the camps (violence, brutality, hetero- and homosexual prostitution, lack of unity among the prisoners etc.). He often records stories of young Jewish girls and women. Their beauty and youth form a moving contrast to the horrors of the Shoah. In the novelette Colette, for instance, many conventional images are used in the narrative. Credibility of presented figures disappears very often, they are “omnipresent” and “omniscient” almost like the famous Forrest Gump. By using various information and statements reproduced by these characters, the author constructs a kind of Auschwitz-Birkenau encyclopedia. The result of this is the loss of authenticity. At the same time, though, a lot of data of this “encyclopedia” is inaccurate. Lustig uses elements of thriller and romance. In works by other well-known authors who write about the Holocaust, various elements can be found: elements of thriller (Jonathan Littell), fantasy, comics, horror as well as porn films (Igor Ostachowicz). Literary texts by both Littel and Ostachowicz are full of violence, brutality and sexual scenes. Like Lustig, Jonathan Littell has created an encyclopedia of Nazi crimes during the WWII with implausible characters and situations in his novel The Kindly Ones. In contrast to Lustig and Littell, Night of the Living Jews by Ostachowicz is more original and impressive. It also brings actual questions concerning the past and relations between Poles and Jews.

Author(s): Natavan Seyidzadeh / Language(s): English / Issue: 47/2020

Charles Dickens’ name is always at the forefront of the list of writers who have entered the treasure of world literature. Perception and interpretation of literary and life motifs in Dickens’novels is one of the possible ways to understand the author’s art world, his works. The life motives that Dickens uses in his works to reveal his moral principles, and the artistic arrangements allow his characters to penetrate deeper into his inner world and Dickens’ views and thoughts on art remain unchanged throughout his career. The author occupies a large place in all his works, with his thoughts on divine beauty and literary art. He has always given wide coverage to the analysis of beauty and artistic motifs in his works, the evolution of his views, the development of his skills, and the emergence of the fundamental problem between the romantic and realistic principles in his works.

Assia Djebar’in Mezari Olmayan Kadin Adli Romaniyla La Nou Ba Des Femmes Du Mont Chenou A Adli Filminde Cezayirli Kadinlarin Köklü Değişimleri

Author(s): Ebru Kayaalp / Language(s): English / Issue: 88/2016

Assia Djebar is among the contemporary woman writers, who mark both Algerian and French literature through her works that deal with the changing station of Algerian woman during the history of colonialism. Djebar, who is also Algerian, turns towards authoring since she is troubled with the situation that Algerian woman are in. She aims to be the voice of silenced woman of her country by narrating the sensations and thoughts of Algerian women through the medium of her novels, short stories, poems and films.Algeria, which is characterized as a conventional society, is averse to becoming contemporary, urbanization, industrialization, individualization, technological advancements and innovations. This society that is attached to tradition blindly, enforces the individuals to live in the direction of determined boundaries. Hence the customs that are inherited from generation to generation, cause women to lapse into silence by defending that men are predominate to women. This situation of Algerian woman undergoes a drastic change with the arrival of French colonialists to their country. During the early times of colonialists’s settling into Algeria, Algerian women become more introverted because bad attitudes of the settlers frighten them. But then over time, the statuses of women who have the chance to observe the French and who take sides with men in Algeria’s resistance against colonialists, begin to improve positively. Consequently, Algerian women’s changing statuses in the processes of colonialism, revolt and Algeria’s independency will be scrutinized in this study through Assia Djebar’s novel named as La Femme Sans Sépulture and film called La Nouba Des Femmes Du Mont Chenoua.

At Home in Loneliness, Loneliness at Home: Domesticity and the Early Short Stories of Richard Yates

At Home in Loneliness, Loneliness at Home: Domesticity and the Early Short Stories of Richard Yates

Author(s): Karl Wood / Language(s): English / Issue: 01/2018

Richard Yates is best known for his 1961 novel Revolutionary Road, which speaks clearly and powerfully to questions of home, escape and ultimate entrapment in the suburban idyll of Eisenhower-era middle-class white America, a bleak examination of an ideal that promised safety, community, and belonging (to those allowed to belong). As fine a novel as Revolutionary Road may be, Yates' short fiction is in ways more compelling and poignant. In pieces that focus on unremarkable, ordinary individuals, it addresses a considerably broader range of experiences of home, isolation and loneliness in the 1950s in dialog with the postwar hegemonic ideal of white suburban middle-class domesticity. The intent of this paper is to critically examine themes of home and alienation in selections from Yates' short story collection Eleven Kinds of Loneliness (1962) – stories written from 1951-1961 and published in various periodicals including The Atlantic Monthly, in order to explore the complexity of 1950s American discourse surrounding home and domesticity, perhaps surprisingly from the pen of a mainstream white male author.

Ayfer Tunç’un Modernizmle Derdi: Faillik ve İktidar

Author(s): Çimen Günay-Erkol / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 01/2017

Ayfer Tunç, a prominent contemporary writer of Turkish literature, emphasizes the problems of modernism in her novels and presents the struggles of people alienated from the society and the nature in the modernizing world. In Tunç’s literature, themes such as “freedom”, “decision making” and “searching the truth” integrate with several social and political problems related with modernism and grow bigger. Public domain is taken into consideration, around these themes and as an attempt to create a common world. Tunç’s attempts to deal with modernism, requires a re-questioning of concepts such as “agency”, “power”, “public domain”, “evil”, “violence”, similar to that of Hannah Arendt who is one of the foremost thinkers of 20 the century that worked on social politics. In this article, Tunç and Arendt are brought into investigation to discuss the ways they treat the impasses of modernism. Arendt’s famus concept “banality of evil” took its place in history as an important criticism to modernism. Tunç’s 2014 novel Dünya Ağrısı (The World Pain) presents a fictional view of Arendt’s “banality of evil” while the writer’s 2009 novel Bir Deliler Evinin Yalan Yanlış Anlatılan Kısa Tarihi (The Unconfirmed Short History of a House for the Mad) brings the “banality of madness” to the fore. In this article, in the framework of her two novels, impasses of modernism, which Tunç fictionalizes with her unique style are presented and discussed in the light of Arendt’s critical thought.

Aylak Adam Ve Tuhaf Bir Kadin Sokaklarda Gezinirken: Ayni Sokaklar[Da] Farkli Deneyimler[Le]

Author(s): Meral Akbaş,Nihan Bozok / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 81/2015

Every steps on the streets has many stories. The thousand-word stories of the people taking the roads are the proofs of how this world we live in contains many different experiences. The streets of cities change and gain new meanings with new people stepping them. For instance, a street for whom is dark and not walkable after a certain time may be the house of another people; a street which is open to be stepped anyone, every hour, may not be a place where inspires same feelings to every people passing in that street. Just like Beyoğlu… In this study, by following the novels of Yusuf Atılgan, Aylak Adam [The Idle Man, 1959] and of Leyla Erbil, Tuhaf Bir Kadın [The Strange Woman, 1989], both of which settled in Beyoğlu, it will be examined how male and female writers narrate different lives, feelings, thoughts and interpretations of men and of women walking on the streets. Moreover, the images of ‘flâneur’ and of ‘flâneuse’, rather than historical figures, will be discussed as critical metaphors with reference to the comparison between The Idle Man by Yusuf Atılgan and The Stranger Woman by Leyla Erbil. An analysis on the lives of Mister C, idle of the years 1950s, and of strange woman, Nermin who walks in Beyoğlu in 1980s, that refers to the different experiences of urban/public/street by men and women, will give a chance to a critical interpretation of the social history of Turkey and to a re-reading of past.

Bati Rönesansinda Rabelais, Türkçe Yazinda Köy Enstitülüler

Bati Rönesansinda Rabelais, Türkçe Yazinda Köy Enstitülüler

Author(s): Alper Akçam / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 67/2011

Rabelais’s novel is the most important mile stones of the European Renaissance. Rabelais opened a new door into the field of literature. Cervantes, Shakespeare and Goethe passed from this door and a great conversion and transformation period into the historical process started in Europe which intend to shake the world as the re-emergence area. According to Mihail Bahtin who has detailed studies on Renaissance, the basic feature of this conversion is Rabelais’s multi sign system originating from humour of grotesk folk culture. This system transfered to literary world and improved against language and perception system which has only one declarative language and based on fear. The foundation of Turkish Republic is defined as a cultural revolution by a lot of thinkers. After the Turkish Republic, one of the most important conversions in new Turkish cultural enviroment is the elements of grotesk folk culture which were transfered by authors graduated from village institute slightingly. There are some important parallels and identities between Rabelais’s novel and the works of authors graduated from village institute. Rabelais’s novel was not understood by Enlightement Movement and Romanticism which was born as reaction against Enlightement Movement and tried to trivialized. The works belonging to authors graduated from village institute vilified with “Village Novel” label and was excluded from cultural pradigma. This case generates a similar tableau between Rabelais’s novel and the works of authors graduated from village institute.

Behavioural Patterns in Microblog-Based Book and Authorship Promotion

Author(s): ANCA DAMIEAN / Language(s): English / Issue: 1-2/2018

With the emergence of self-publishing and, thus, the arrival on the book market of an endless wave of writers, the search for optimized marketing methods has increased and today includes all types of social media. Microblogging, with Twitter at the forefront, has become a book marketing venue and a way for authors to keep in touch with their readership. The question is whether behavioural patterns in microblogging can be identified and linked to successful social interaction for writers to follow in their author-reader relationship endeavours. This essay attempts to identify trends in book-promotion-oriented microblogging by analysing the psychological meaning of words used by a sample of best-selling authors, with special focus on the emotionality, social versatility, thinking styles, as well as meaningful individual differences. The method used is computerized corpus-based text analysis of stylerelated words from tweets by Twitter-active bestselling authors, supported by a Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LWIC) program. By analysing the behavioural patterns of worldwide acknowledged English language authors, this research may be used as guidance for new and upcoming writers in designing their Twitter-based social appearance to achieve book-marketing success.
