The Translation and Reception of Catalan Literature Into English TRANSLATING NATIONAL IDENTITY: THE TRANSLATION AND RECEPTION OF CATALAN LITERATURE INTO ENGLISH by JENNIFER ARNOLD A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham December 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract This thesis examines reader responses to Catalan identity through the reception of two Catalan novels in translation: Stone in a Landslide by Maria Barbal and For a Sack of Bones by Lluís- Anton Baulenas. Drawing on theories from Descriptive Translation Studies and cultural and sociological approaches to translation, it examines how representations of Catalan culture and identity are subject to influence from different agents at each stage of the translation and reception process. The thesis explores three areas: the role of translation within Catalan culture in the promotion of Catalan identity; the way in which this role is relevant to the translation process itself within the target culture; and finally whether the objectives of this role are achieved within the target market. This study offers a new approach to the study of the reader within Translation Studies, using blogs, online reviews and reading groups in order to gain access to real reader responses to translated literature and offers a methodology by which the study of the representation of culture through translation may be explored. The results of this study have relevance not only to translation research and practice, but also to translation policy, particularly for minority cultures. Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the support of some pretty amazing people. Firstly I would like to thank my supervisors, Dr Gaby Saldanha and Dr Elisenda Marcer, for their patience, their advice and for believing in me when the going got tough. A special mention should also go to the wonderful ladies from the reading groups who allowed me to intrude into their meetings and provided me with lovely drinks and nibbles. I would also like to thank my mum without whom I could not have done this and my best friend Leonna for being there every step of the way and understanding me in a way that nobody else could. Finally, my beautiful girls, Isabel and Matilda, who inspire me every single day, and Fran, for putting up with everything this thesis threw at you - it has been a long road but we got there in the end. No hay palabras, te quiero.

An exceptionally fine tradition, the seductiveness of modernity and a curiosity about other literatures are all to be found amongst its current strengths, which are further bolstered by a well-established and vibrant publishing industry and the efficient work of literary agents. One of the goals of the Institut Ramon Llull, as the public institution responsible for broadening the reach of Catalan language and culture, is to support authors, translators, publishers and literary agents with the aim of ensuring that Catalan literature is translated, published and read abroad. This booklet presents a selection of new voices of Catalan Fiction that touch on a range of different subjects, realities, and imagined worlds and reflect the richness and the power of Catalan literature today.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

Eran cartas anónimas: no supe hasta mucho después de dónde provenían, quién me las enviaba. Tal vez desde que tuve certeza minuciosa de que ese gusto epistolar me convertía en un terco suplente de escritor, adquirí también ese hábito de atribuirme la paternidad de esos papeles de tan ambigua procedencia. Al menos entendí lo más palmario: que la literatura se parece a una carta que el escritor se manda sin cesar a sí mismo. José Manuel Caballero Bonald, de Diario de Argónida (1997) 2 Selección: Carmen de Abajo COMO UN NAIPE Como un naipe, mi mano está marcada. No soy yo quien la hace ganar, perder sus desafíos: ama, parte el pan, acaricia, recoge el lienzo de la vanidad, mide el rasante de la muerte, recibe el precio de la vida. Mas no soy yo quien la hizo a su imagen, virtud y crimen juntos con idénticas armas en la pugna. Bajo su piel vuelca el azar sus oscuros triunfos, juega mi propio corazón a desbancarme. José Manuel Caballero Bonald, de Poesía amatoria (1999) 3 Selección: Carmen de Abajo JUICIO TEMERARIO El erotismo de las cremalleras desempeña un papel más bien preponderante cuando la insumisa doncella no virgen atraviesa la oscuridad con gesto de rasgarla y usa una mano metódica de mártir para abrir su vestido como quien se va abriendo lentamente una herida.

The Catalan tourism sector has boosted the accessibility of its services, making a reality the principle that a respectful and diverse society should recognise the equality of conditions for people with disabilities. This principle is enshrined in the “Barcelona declaration: the city and people with disabilities” that to date has been signed by 400 European cities. There are many Catalan companies and destinations that have adapted their products and services accordingly.

  • Economic History: Germany's Hyperinflation-Phobia | the Economist
    Economic history: Germany's hyperinflation-phobia | The Economist http://www.economist.com/node/21590119/print Free exchange Economics Economic history Germany's hyperinflation-phobia Nov 15th 2013, 16:23 by C.R. | LONDON HYPERINFLATION is among the worst catastrophes that can befall an economy. It can destroy output and destabilise societies. The hoarding of real assets, such as property and precious metals, wrecks business and financial investment in countries afflicted by it. Business costs soar, as wages and prices have to be increased on an hourly basis, reducing productivity. Foreign investment evaporates as the financial risks of doing business rise. The sudden redistribution of wealth from creditors to debtors can eat at civil society and discredit political institutions. John Maynard Keynes, as early as 1919, recognised the threat inflation posed to modern capitalist societies: Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency… [he] was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose. The German public, it seems, is particularly fearful of letting inflation getting out of control. This is, in part, due to the legacy of the German hyperinflation of 1922-3. The mark-dollar exchange rate rose from 4.2 to one in 1914 to a peak of around 4.2 trillion marks to the dollar by November 1923.
