La traduction littéraire qui n’est pas que la traduction. Sur les enjeux traductologiques au Canada

The article aims to take a close look at the literary relations between English- and French-speaking Canada. Among different possibilities, the author analyzes specific cases concerning literary prizes, in particular winners of the Governor General’s Prize in the category of translation. As it is one of the most prestigious awards in Canada, it undoubtedly conditions the reception of a literary work, being a symbol of prestige. The choice of the jury can sometimes seem surprising or even confusing, as it was the case of Nancy Huston or Jacques Brault who won the prize in the category of translation. Without a doubt, the specificity of the translation à la canadienne goes beyond any distinctions and descriptions and – being also a political issue – revolts against all control and all interference.

El otro Pero López de Ayala y la poesía de cancionero

This paper focuses on establishing the origin of the citations about Pero López de Ayala in Cancionero poetry through a correct and rigorous identification of the chronological data. Thanks to the proposed analysis, a clear differentiation has been made between the Chancellor of King Enrique III and his second son, of the same name, whose relevant participation in the literary and courtly intrigue of the time has never been addressed before in previous research. This has allowed me to develop an analysis of the cultural and historical context of the poetic texts where Pero López de Ayala, the son, is referred to, and, in addition, I have also been able to underline the real relevance of this historical figure to the intricate scenario of literary and cultural relations at the turn of the 15th century.

Gustaw Herling e Elémire Zolla: tracce di un’amicizia

The aim of this article is to show the relationship between Gustaw Herling-Grudziński and Elémire Zolla through their letters, until now unpublished, kept in the Archive of Herling-Grudziński in Naples. The letters sent to Herling-Grudziński by Zolla are published here for the first time. The literary relation between the two writers and intellectualists can also be traced in Zolla’s review of Herling-Grudziński’s volume of short stories Pale d’altare, translated into Italian and published in Italy, as well as in Herling’s-Grudziński review of Zolla’s novel Cecilia o la disattenzione.

International Scientific Conference Polish-Belarusian Cultural, Literary, and Linguistic Relationship, Wisznice 2019

International Scientific Conference Polish-Belarusian Cultural, Literary, and Linguistic Relationship, Wisznice 2019

Adventures of a philologist, or A few words about the book by Mikhail Golubkov “Yuri Polyakov: context, subtext, intertext and other adventures of the text. Scientific (and not so) notes of one seminar”. Moscow: AST Publ., 2020. 256 p.

The review analyzes the edition published to the anniversary of the Russian writer Yu.M. Polyakov. The collection with an interesting subtitle Scientists (and not so) notes of one seminar does not correspond to the canons of a collective monograph or a collection of scientific articles. It is built in the form of a dialogue between the head of the scientific seminar The Twentieth Century as a Literary Epoch Professor M.M. Golubkov and his students, this is the peculiarity of the book. On its pages, the work of Yu.M. Polyakov represented by the main works, such as Novel in the Era of Change, Kid in Milk, Mushroom King, Plaster Trumpeter, Fun life, or Sex in the USSR, stories, novels, and other works is analyzed in the aspect of literary relations, problems, and poetics. The book is also addressed to the general reader, as it touches upon the understanding of the problems of the historical today.

Friedrich Dietrich v. Kurt Sprengel and their, largely American, plant-names

The vexing literary relationship between Kurt Sprengel and Friedrich Dietrich appears to have led to some of Dietrich’s work being willfully disregarded and subsequently forgotten/extinguished/suppressed. Examination of Dietrich’s oeuvre leads to the rehabilitation of fifteen of his new combinations, making securer by up to 175 years, some names in current use for largely New World plants. To take into account Dietrich’s work as a whole, four new combinations and three nomina nova are proposed with the help of authorities in the germane plant groups: Caamembeca andina (A.W. Benn.) J.F.B. Pastore & Mabb. (Bolivia), Callicarpa ekmanii I.E. Méndez & Mabb. (Cuba), Clematis wangiana Mabb., (Madagascar), Coleataenia pulchra (F. Dietr.) Mabb. & LeBlond (USA), Packera dubia (Spreng.) Trock & Mabb. (USA), Piper samainianum Mabb. (Peru), Rostellularia vahliana (Schult.) Mabb. (south Asia), for which a lectotype is designated, with other adjustments of names in Besleria (B. formosa now B. amabilis, tropical America), Oxalis (O. eckloniana now O. biloba, South Africa), Passiflora (P. arborea now P. magnoliifolia, Colombia), Ribes (R. ruizii now R. sylvestre, Chile), and possibly Tocoyena (South America), while further work on Lupinus is called for.

Al-Tanasu al-Qur’ani fi Si’ri Ali Ahmad Bakatsir

This study aims to study the relationship of Ali Ahmad Bakathir's poetic text with the Qur’an text in what has been termed intertextuality. The poetic text does not form out of a void and does not go into a void as well. Suffix. The focus is on the poetic performer that this relationship benefited from in the structure of the poem through its reliance on linguistic or artistic interaction, and then the new roles that this text plays in the context of the poetic text, and its ability to crystallize the poet’s visions. The study investigated the presence of the Qur’anic text and its mechanisms that are common in Bakathir's poetic text, and emerged from its core functions and semantic dimensions by analyzing and stating its total, partial, or intangible function, or calling the Qur’anic personality, and clarifying its new roles in the poetic text formats, which concluded with the results are The Qur’anic text dominated the poetic styles of Bakathir and their diversity, between the total employment of the Qur’anic text, the partial or the inspiration of Qur’anic meanings, and the recall of characters and events of the Qur’anic stories. To enrich his poetic experience, and to contribute to strengthening the literary relationship between his text and the recipient; Because the Noble Qur’an has a sacred place in hearts, and the poetic text is in harmony with the Qur’an text, by quoting it or including it up to the quotation based on textualization, or referring to its meanings in order to enhance its stylistic construction, technical and aesthetic functions. Renewal for some purposes, and it calls for characters and events in Quranic stories; To support his poetic experience in dealing with my intention, its significance enriches the poetic text with its semantic and artistic dimensions. تروم هذه الدراسة أن تدرس علاقة النص الشعري لدى علي أحمد باكثير مع النص القرآني في ما اصطلح على تسميته بالتناصIntertextuality، فالنص الشعري لا يتشكل من فراغ ولا يذهب إلى فراغ أيضا، وإنما يرتبط في سياق جنسه الأدبي بشبكة من العلاقات تجعله يتداخل مع نصوص سابقة له وأخرى لاحقة. ويتم التركيز على المؤدى الشعري الذي أفادته تلك العلاقة في بنية القصيدة من خلال اتكائه على التفاعل اللغوي أو الفني، ومن ثمَّ الأدوار الجديدة التي يؤديها ذلك النص في سياق النص الشعري، وقدرته على بلورة رؤى الشاعر. وقد استقصت الدراسة حضور النص القرآني وآلياته التي تشيع في نص باكثير الشعري، وانبثقت من صميم من دواله وأبعاده الدلالية بالتحليل وبيان وظيفته الكلية، أو الجزئية، أو المعنوية، أو استدعاء الشخصية القرآنية، واستجلاء أدوارها الجديدة في أنساق النص الشعري، التي خلصت إلى النتائج هي سيطر النص القرآني على أساليب باكثير الشعرية وتنوعها ما بين التوظيف الكلي للنص القرآني أو الجزئي أو استلهام المعاني القرآنية واستدعاء شخصيات القصص القرآني وأحداثها؛ لإغناء تجربته الشعرية، والإسهام في تقوية العلاقة الأدبية بين نصه والمتلقي؛ لامتلاك القرآن الكريم مكانة مقدسة في القلوب، وانسجم النص الشعري مع النص القرآني، باقتباسه أو تضمينه وصولاً إلى الاستشهاد القائم على التنصيص، أو الإحالة لمعانيه تعزيزاً لبنائه الأسلوبي، والدوال الفنية والجمالية، واستطاع التناص أن ينقل تجربة باكثير الشعرية من التقليد والاجترار إلى تطوير أدواته الشعرية والتجديد في بعض الأغراض، ويستدعي الشخوص والأحداث في القصص القرآني؛ ليعضد تجربته الشعرية في تناول قصدي تثري دلالتها النص الشعري بأبعاده الدلالية والفنية.

KAPCSOLATTÖRTÉNET, KULTURÁLIS ÁTSZÖVŐDÉSEK, TRANSZNACIONÁLIS KUTATÁSOK

A vajdasági magyar irodalomkritikában, valamint a -kutatásban a kezdetek óta természetszerű volt a tágabb nyelvi és kulturális környezet iránti érdeklődés. A két világháború közötti korszak szerkesztői, műfordítói, írói a jugoszláviai irodalmak közvetítőiként működtek. E hagyomány folytatódott a titói Jugoszlávia évtizedeiben is. A szerb, horvát, szlovén irodalmak és a magyar közötti kapcsolat átjárhatóvá tételének Vajdaságban történeti hagyománya van. Talán csak a szlovákiai magyar irodalomban volt még a környező kultúrák iránti figyelem ilyen magától értetődő, Erdélyben kevésbé. Pozsonyban ugyancsak hang- súlyozták a cseh, a szlovák és a magyar kultúrák kölcsönös megismertetésének fontosságát. E missziót később a Kalligram Kiadó vállalta magára. Mifelénk a második világháború után a Híd, az Új Symposion, a Forum Könyvkiadó, szerkesztőik és a fordítók érdemei voltak kiemelkedőek. Bori Imre professzor a Magyar Tanszék hallgatói számára egyetemi tárgyként alapozta meg a magyar–délszláv irodalmi kapcsolatok ismeretét. Azonos című 1970-es, majd az Irodalmak – kölcsönhatások (1971), illetve 1987-ben megjelent kapcsolattörténeti tanulmánykötetein kívül Miroslav Krležáról (1976) és Ivo Andrićról (1992) is publikált kismonográfiákat. A vajdasági és a modern magyar irodalomtörténet kutatását tehát a szlavisztika és a kontaktológia komparatív kérdéskörével gazdagította. A littérature comparée a XX. században és az új évezred elején együtt változott a humán kutatások egyéb szakterületeivel. Konferencia-előadásom tárgyát a komparatív kutatások újabb irányai, feladatai és célkitűzései képezik.

Julia Rhyder. Centralizing the Cult: The Holiness Legislation in Leviticus 17–26. Forschungen zum Alten Testament 134. Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2019. xxi + 484 pp.

Reviewed by: Centralizing the Cult: The Holiness Legislation in Leviticus 17–26 by Julia Rhyder Liane Feldman Julia Rhyder. Centralizing the Cult: The Holiness Legislation in Leviticus 17–26. Forschungen zum Alten Testament 134. Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2019. xxi + 484 pp. doi:10.1017/S0364009420000148 Julia Rhyder's recent volume, Centralizing the Cult: The Holiness Legislation in Leviticus 17–26, is a critically important addition to the study of pentateuchal priestly literature. Clearly written and richly detailed, this book revisits one of the most well-trod paths in studies of the Pentateuch's cultic materials and offers a fresh and theoretically sophisticated approach to the question of cultic centralization, and to the study of the literary history of Leviticus 17–26 more broadly. The first three chapters (111 pages) of this book are concerned primarily with a review of scholarship on the concept of centralization (chapter 1), the Holiness Legislation (chapter 2), and the phenomenon of centralization in the Persian period (chapter 3). Textual analysis begins to take center stage in chapters 4 through 7. Chapter 4 argues that Leviticus 1–16 participates in the project of centralization in three ways: by advocating the standardization of ritual practice, by constructing an authoritative priesthood, and by uniting the Israelites in service of the sanctuary and its cult. Rhyder insightfully argues in this chapter that the detailed ritual instructions are best understood as "a form of communal knowledge rather than the prerogative of the priests alone" (139, emphasis original). Chapter 5 takes up the issue of the laws about slaughter and disposal of blood in Leviticus 17. Rhyder makes at least two important and related contributions in this chapter, the first of which is to argue that it is "inappropriate to suggest that H derives its centralizing logic from the claims made in Deut 12" (238). Instead, Rhyder methodically and meticulously demonstrates that the laws in Leviticus 17 primarily draw on concepts that can be found in other P texts, thus negating the need to look to Deuteronomic influence. This chapter also makes one of the strongest cases I have seen for the close literary relationship between Leviticus 16 and 17. Chapter 6 engages the question of calendars and centralized time, blending arguments about ritual standardization from chapter 4 with broader questions about the effects of pilgrimage and festival observance on a centralization project. While primarily focused on Leviticus 23, Rhyder also draws attention to the often-overlooked passage in Leviticus 24:1–9, which she describes as an appendix to P's festival calendar (304). At several points in the book, Rhyder points to texts that are closely linked with P both thematically and linguistically and argues that these links to P "should be read not so much as indicating that these verses are secondary intrusion to H but as a discursive strategy on H's part" (307). I wonder, however, if a simpler explanation for these "P-like" texts in the midst of H might be that they are P. While such an argument could be disputed, the possibility is never addressed. This points to one weakness of the book [End Page 414] as a whole: for all of her insightful and detailed readings, Rhyder at times uncritically accepts that Leviticus 17–26 is a distinct and coherent literary unit even when her readings of individual texts pave the way for a different conclusion. Chapter 7 analyzes the remainder of the Holiness Code and argues that the focus on the holiness of the Israelite community is best understood as advancing a form of "conventionalism" as described by social theorists such as Theodor Adorno. Rhyder argues that the discourse of holiness in H suggests that it is not only concerned with the participation of the Israelites in the cult, but "also with how they should interpret their own experience in light of its centrality" (345, emphasis original). This chapter recasts the concept of communal holiness as part of a larger project concerned above all with loyalty to the deity and his shrine in all facets of one's life. A broader aim of this book is to situate not only the Holiness Code, but it seems all of P, in...

РОЛЬ ГИПЕРБОЛ В СОЗДАНИИ ЭПИЧЕСКИХ ОБРАЗОВ СИНЬЦЗЯН-ОЙРАТСКОЙ ВЕРСИИ «ДЖАНГАРА»

Фольклор является выразителем эстетического сознания и народных идеалов, способы и формы выражения которых у каждого народа свои. Героический идеал определяет грандиозность и масштабность образов, внешний облик эпического мира и событий, происходящих в нем. Выражение исторических идеалов в эпосе происходит через осмысление героического прошлого народа, путем эпической идеализации реально-бытового содержания эпоса. Высокие художественные достоинства, героический характер содержания находят свое выражение в поэтическом языке и стиле эпоса «Джангар». Обобщенность и идеализация в эпосе достигается путем фантастической гиперболизации. Прием гиперболизации в эпической поэтике и стилистике является доминирующим и находит воплощение в устойчивых образно-поэтических выражениях. Для осмысления стилистики и образной системы эпического произведения, актуальным, на наш взгляд, является рассмотрение гипербол и приема гиперболизации в контексте основных задач эпики, – идеализации монументальных образов эпического мира и допущения сказочно-фантастических явлений, как реальных. Целью является исследование роли гипербол в создании монументальных эпических образов, предметов и явлений эпической действительности синьцзян-ойратского эпоса «Джангар». Сквозь призму героической гиперболизации осмысляются идеальные образы кочевой державы Бумбы, ее верховного правителя Джангара, прекрасной ставки-дворца, образы богатырей и их подвиги, пространство и время, предметы и атрибуты эпического мира. Гиперболичен образ необозримого кочевого владения Бумбы, а богатство эпических ханов и сайдов составляет бесчисленный скот четырех видов. Внушительность дворца подчеркивается описанием многочисленности основных его элементов (окон, опор, колонн). Монументальные образы правителя Джангара и воинов-богатырей, наделенные сверхчеловеческой силой и воинской доблестью, в идеализированной форме олицетворяют человека героического, воинского века. Использование гипербол в описании богатырского поединка придает особую экспрессию кульминационному моменту эпического повествования. Эпические гиперболы характерны в передаче скорости передвижения героя, в описании быстроты и стремительности действий героя-богатыря в пространстве и во времени. Folklore is an expression of aesthetic consciousness and folk ideals, and each nation has its own ways and forms of expressing them. The heroic ideal determines the grandiosity and scale of images, the appearance of the epic world and the events that take place in it. The expression of historical ideals in the epic takes place through the understanding of the heroic past of the people, through the epic idealization of the real-life content of the epic. The high artistic merits and heroic character of the content are expressed in the poetic language and style of the epic Jangar. Generalization and idealization in the epic is achieved by fantastic hyperbolization. The technique of hyperbolization in epic poetics and stylistics is dominant and is embodied in stable figurative and poetic expressions. In order to understand the stylistics and image system of an epic work, it is relevant, in our opinion, to consider hyperbole and the technique of hyperbolization in the context of the main tasks of epics-the idealization of monumental images of the epic world and the assumption of fairy-tale and fantastic phenomena as real. The aim is to study the role of hyperboles in the creation of monumental epic images, objects and phenomena of the epic reality of the Xinjiang Oirat epic Jangar. Through the prism of heroic hyperbolization, the ideal image of the nomadic power of Bumba, its Supreme ruler Jangar, the beautiful bet-Palace, images of heroes and their exploits, space and time, objects and attributes of the epic world is comprehended. The image of Bumba's vast nomadic domain is hyperbolic, and the wealth of epic khans and saids is countless cattle of four kinds. The impressiveness of the Palace is emphasized by the description of the number of its main elements (windows, pillars, columns). Monumental images of the ruler of Jangar and warriors-heroes, endowed with superhuman strength and military valor, in an idealized form represent a man of heroic, military age. The use of hyperbole in the description of a heroic duel gives a special expression to the climax of the epic narrative. Epic hyperbole is characteristic in the transmission of the speed of movement of the hero, describing the speed and rapidity of the hero's actions in space and time.

Women Artists in the British and Ukrainian Literature at the Turn of the 19th – 20th Century: D. H. Lawrence’s Women in Love and O. Kobylianska’s Valse Mélancolique

The article analyzes the peculiarities of women-artists’ portrayal in the texts Women in Love by D. H. Lawrence and Valse Melancolique by O. Kobylianska in the light of feminism and intermediality. Its relevance is conditioned by a new wave of interest in feminist interpretation, the comparative study of the relationship between visual art-literature and the opportunity to expand the line of the research of English-Ukrainian literary cross-cultural relationships. The purpose of this article is to determine the similarities and differences in the images of women artists. In order to achieve this objective, we used feminist approaches, elements of intermedial and contextual analyzes, as well as biographical and typological methods. The research showed that the correspondences in the images of women-artists are obvious at different levels: the importance of art in the life of the protagonists, criticism of patriarchal society with all its conventions towards women, focus on strong personalities of women-artists, elements of visual art incorporated in the literary works. Despite the different socio-cultural situation in Britain and Ukraine at the turn of the 19 th –20 th century, the prose works of D. H. Lawrence and O. Kobylianska proved the authors’ common interpretation of women-artists images, which correlate with the modernist principles of a free choice and self-expression.

What has Leviticus 17 to do with Deuteronomy 12.20–27? The literary relationship between the Deuteronomic and Holiness Codes on cult centralization and animal slaughter

This article examines the literary connection between the laws of cult centralization and animal slaughter in Lev. 17 and Deut. 12.20–27. After establishing a set of criteria for determining the literary connection between two texts, the author compares and analyzes the textual evidence in Lev. 17 and Deut. 12.20–27. This study concludes that the connection between the two passages may not be one of literary dependence of one text upon the other as has been widely assumed by many scholars. Instead, even though both texts attempt to deal with the same socio-religious issues, they may have been literarily independent of each other.

Literary Relations Between Uzbekistan And Germany

I. S. Turgenev’s Novel “Fathers and Sons” in Chinese Translation and Research Reception

The previously not considered question of the reception of the novel “Fathers and Sons” by Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev in the Chinese research tradition and in translations is considered. The novelty of the work is seen in the fact that at present in the Russian and Chinese literary environment there is no detailed study devoted to the perception of the novel “Fathers and Sons” in China. The relevance of the article is due to the need to study the significance of I.S. Turgenev for the Chinese cultural process in order to understand the specifics of Russian-Chinese literary relations, which corresponds to the trends of modern comparative literature. The most important issues are those related to the study of Russian literature in the Chinese context. It is noted that, based on the work of Chinese researchers and translators, it is possible to draw conclusions, firstly, about the popularity of the work “Fathers and Sons” in the Chinese readership, and secondly, about the special merits of the translations of Ba Jin, Li Ni, Zheng Bin and other translators to distribute the works of I. S. Turgenev in China. It is shown that not only scientists and translators, but also cinematographers turn to the work of the classic, which also testifies to the great interest of the Chinese audience in the classical heritage of Russian literature.

Р.П. КУМОВ И А.М. ГОРЬКИЙ: ИСТОРИЯ ЛИТЕРАТУРНЫХ ОТНОШЕНИЙ

The article deals with the history of literary relations of R.P. Kumov and M. Gorky. The correspondence of writers is analyzed, which reveals the role of M. Gorky in the creative biography of R.P. Kumov. Typological connections are established between M. Gorky’s novel «The Artamonov’s Affair» and R.P. Kumov’s drama «End of the Korostomyslov family».

The Residue of Matthean Polemics in the Ascension of Isaiah

This article explores the literary relationship between the Matthean tradition and the Ascension of Isaiah, a second-century pseudepigraphon detailing Isaiah's visions of the ‘Beloved’ and his polemical (and fatal) engagement with the ‘false prophet’ Belkira. While the lexical affiliation between these texts has been a point of interest, the discussion has oscillated between types of sources utilised, whether gospel material mutually shared with Matthew or Matthew itself. Though this paper details lexical contact, it pushes beyond philological similarity and posits narrative imitations as well as shared polemical strategies. The result is that Isaiah is more readily seen as a figure fashioned after the Matthean Jesus, and the ‘martyred prophet’ motif that ripples throughout the Gospel of Matthew as appropriated and narrativised by the Ascension of Isaiah for a second-century conflict over prophetic practices.

Narrative Form and Literary Adaptation in the Medieval North

Abstract Around 1300, ›Hertig Fredrik av Normandie‹, one of the foundational works of medieval Swedish literature, was translated from a German source of which no trace has survived. This article exposes the anachronistic expectations about narrative coherence that underpin existing attempts to reconstruct that source and how it was adapted. By focusing on the end of the bridal-quest action, the article advocates a revision of value judgements about the (in)competence of the Swedish translator. In doing so, it shows how narrative poetics can open up new approaches to medieval literary relations between Germany and Scandinavia, as well as to the literary historiography of lost texts more generally.
