Paul Auster’ın Cam Kent adlı Eserinin İki Çevirisi üzerine bir Çalışma. Yüksek Lisans Tezi, Ankara, 2015. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Paul Auster’ın Cam Kent romanının iki farklı çevirisinde çevirmene zorluk yaratacak öğelerin çevirmenler tarafından nasıl çevrildiğini Venuti’nin yerlileştirme ve yabancılaştırma kavramları ışığı altında analiz ederek çevirmenlerin uyguladıkları stratejileri tespit etmektir. Bunun yanı sıra Venuti’nin çevirmenin görünürlüğü ve görünmezliği yaklaşımları temel alınarak hangi çevirmenin daha görünür ya da görünmez olduğunu ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, çevirmenler için zorluk yaratan öğelerin sıklıkla kullanıldığı ve postmodern biçemiyle bilinen Paul Auster’a ait Cam Kent adlı eserin Yusuf Eradam (1993) ve İlknur Özdemir (2004) tarafından Türkçe’ye yapılan iki farklı çevirisi analiz edilmiştir. Bu eserin çevirisini zorlaştıran faktörler; özel isimler, kelime oyunları, bireydil, dilbilgisel normlar, tipografi, gönderme ve yabancı sözcükler olmak üzere yedi başlık altında toplanmış olup Cam Kent romanının iki farklı çevirisinde tercih edilen çeviri stratejileri karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu karşılaştırma, Venuti’nin çevirmenin görünmezliği yaklaşımı temel alınarak hangi çevirmenin daha görünür ya da görünmez olduğunu incelemek üzere yapılmıştır. İki çevirinin karşılaştırmalı analizinin ardından, iki çevirmenin de farklı öğeler için yerlileştirme ve yabancılaştırma yaklaşımlarını bir çeviri stratejisi olarak kullandığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

Deposit Guide Contact: email 1 Reading to You, or the Aesthetics of Marriage Dialogic Intertextuality in the Works of Siri Hustvedt and Paul Auster Alexander Williamson Doctoral thesis submitted in partial completion of a PhD at Birkbeck, University of London July 2017 2 Abstract Using a methodological framework which develops Vera John-Steiner’s identification of a ‘generative dialogue’ within collaborative partnerships, this research offers a new perspective on the bi-directional flow of influence and support between the married authors Siri Hustvedt and Paul Auster. Foregrounding the intertwining of Hustvedt and Auster’s emotional relationship with the embodied process of aesthetic expression, the first chapter traces the development of the authors’ nascent identities through their non-fictional works, focusing upon the autobiographical, genealogical, canonical and interpersonal foundation of formative selfhood. Chapter two examines the influence of postmodernist theory and poststructuralist discourse in shaping Hustvedt and Auster’s early fictional narratives, offering an alternative reading of Auster’s work outside the dominant postmodernist label, and attempting to situate the hybrid spatiality of Hustvedt and Auster’s writing within the ‘after postmodernism’ period.

    The story of my typewriter, Paul Auster, Sam Messer, D.A.P., 2002, 1891024329, 9781891024320, 63 pages. This is the story of Paul Auster's typewriter. The typewriter is a manual Olympia, more than 25 years old, and has been the agent of transmission for the novels, stories, collaborations, and other writings Auster has produced since the 1970s, a body of work that stands as one of the most varied, creative, and critcally acclaimed in recent American letters. It is also the story of a relationship. A relationship between Auster, his typewriter, and the artist Sam Messer, who, as Auster writes, "has turned an inanimate object into a being with a personality and a presence in the world." This is also a collaboration: Auster's story of his typewriter, and of Messer's welcome, though somewhat unsettling, intervention into that story, illustrated with Messer's muscular, obsessive drawings and paintings of both author and machine. This is, finally, a beautiful object; one that will be irresistible to lovers of Auster's writing, Messer's painting, and fine books in general..

  • Paul Auster's First Novel in Seven Years. a Sweeping Story of Birthright And
    Read by the Author Paul Auster’s first novel in seven years. A sweeping story of birthright and possibility, of love and the fullness of life itself. On March 3, 1947, in the maternity ward of Beth Israel Hospital in Newark, New Jersey, Archibald Isaac Ferguson, the one and only child of Rose and Stanley Ferguson, is born. From that single beginning, Ferguson’s life will take four simultaneous and independent fictional paths. Four Fergusons made of the same genetic material, four boys who are the same boy, will go on to lead four parallel and entirely different lives. Family fortunes diverge. Loves and friendships and intellectual passions contrast. Chapter by chapter, the rotating narratives evolve into an elaborate dance of inner worlds enfolded within the outer forces of history as, one by one, the intimate plot of each Ferguson’s story rushes on across the tumultuous and fractured terrain of mid-twentieth- century America. A boy grows up—again and again and again. As inventive and dexterously constructed as anything Paul Auster has ever written, 4 3 2 1 is an unforgettable tour de force, the crowning work of this masterful writer’s extraordinary career. PAUL AUSTER is the bestselling author of Sunset Park, Invisible, The Book of Illusions, and The New York Trilogy, among many other works. In 2006 he was awarded the Prince of Asturias Prize for Literature. Among his other honors are the Prix Médicis étranger for Leviathan, and the Independent Spirit Award for the screenplay of Smoke, and the Premio Napoli for Sunset Park. In 2012 he was the first recipient of the NYC Literary Honors in the category of fiction.

    Blue Gum, No. 2, 2015, ISSN 2014-21-53, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona A Glimpse at Paul Auster and Jorge L. Borges through the Tinted Glass of Quantum Theory Myriam M. Mercader Varela Copyright©2015 Myriam M. Mercader Varela. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged. Abstract . The works of Jorge Luis Borges and Paul Auster seem to follow the rules of Quantum Theory. The present article studies a number of perspectives and coincidences in their oeuvre, especially a quality we have named “inherent ubiquity” which highlights the importance and of authorship and identity and the appearance of blue stones to mark the doors leading to new dimensions on the works of both authors. Keywords: Jorge L. Borges, Paul Auster, Authorship and Identity, Quantum Theory, Inherent Ubiquity, Blue Stones. Quantum Theory has ruled the scientific milieu for decades now, but it is not only for science that Quantum Theory makes sense. Literary critics have surrendered to its logic as a unique way to interpret literature because the world we live and write in is one and the same; it forms part of a whole. Although this article does not aim to analyze Quantum Theory, we would like to make a short summary of its basis in order to shape the arena we are stepping into. In 1982 a famous experiment undertaken by Alain Aspect proved that a very large percentage of the polarization angles of photons emitted by a laser beam was identical, which meant that particles necessarily communicate their position so that each photon’s orientation can parallel that of the one that serves as its pair.

He has published extensively on Beat Generation writers and postmodern American fiction and culture. Abstract This article examines some aspects of the phenomenon of popular fiction, using the terminology proposed by Pierre Bourdieu in his works on distinction and cultural production, including ‘position taking,’ ‘field,’ and ‘capital(s).’ After the theoretical groundwork is laid, the second half of the article analyzes specifically the case of popular postmodern author Paul Auster, with regards to the role of genre and dual readership/reading protocol inscribed in his fic- tions, the mechanisms of gatekeeping, consecration and position taking involved in the production of his place in the field of popu- lar fiction (cf. Ken Gelder’s Popular Fiction: The Logics and Practices of a Literary Field, 2004),1 and the distinct American and European/ Scandinavian markets for his books. Keywords Paul Auster, Pierre Bourdieu, fieldwork, position taking, capital, consecration.

A very compact quote from Bourdieu’s The Field of Cultural Production (1993) below must first be unpacked and operationalized: The task is that of constructing the space of positions and the space of the position takings (prises de position) in which they are expressed.

  • Entangled Lines of the Embodied Self: Archie Ferguson's Urban
    Hansen: Entangled Lines of the Embodied Self 40 Entangled Lines of the Embodied Self: Archie Ferguson’s Urban Experience in Paul Auster’s 4 3 2 1 Ira Hansen University of Turku _____________________________________ Abstract: This article explores how the four interweaving storylines of the contemporary US author Paul Auster’s novel, 4 3 2 1 (2017), create its protagonist Archie Ferguson through his embodied spatial experience of New York City. The starting point is the anthropologist Tim Ingold’s notion that all life is realized as a series of entangling lines, a meshwork of random occurrences, which move to and fro in various directions rather than as a straight line from birth to death. Lines do not merely connect immobile points, such as locations on a map, but rather, are movements along which life is made and revealed. With the help of, for example, de Certeau’s city-texturology, the article shows how the spatial practices of walking and writing (in) the city creates Ferguson’s embodied lifelines. The attentional practices of space – wayfaring – that create Ferguson on the city streets and on the pages of his notebooks weave an environment that permeates Ferguson’s unfolding self, unearthing and giving equal weight to his lived experience and his imagined possibilities. The different layers of Ferguson’s life are not buried under one another in the passing of time, but are amalgamated as his presence to create both Ferguson and the New York that surrounds him on multiple parallel levels. Keywords: Auster; New York City; meshwork; presence; urban; wayfaring. Author contact: [email protected] Literary Geographies 7(1) 2021 40-58 Hansen: Entangled Lines of the Embodied Self 41 Starting lines When Archibald Isaac Ferguson, the protagonist in the US author Paul Auster’s novel 4 3 2 1 (2017), walks ‘down East Eighty-ninth Street and turn[s] the corner onto what [he] was expecting to be Second Avenue’, he instead finds himself on ‘Central Park South near Columbus Circle’ (Auster 2017a: 727).
