Translingual Literary Practice: Literatures in Contact Translingual Literary Practice: Literatures in Contact Submitted by: Claudia Zucca Thesis for Doctorate of Philosophy Department: School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies University of Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland June 2020 1 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to my supervisor Professor Moray McGowan for all the support, guidance and mentoring in preparing for this thesis over the years. I would also like to thank him for the stimulating and invigorating discussions that have enabled the ‘translingual’ to emerge far beyond my own expectations. I would also like to thank Professor Peter Arnds in the German department, for his invaluable feedback, observations and suggestions, both during the review process and as the internal examiner. I would also like to thank Professor Cormac O' Cuilleanáin for his assistance during the review process. Furthermore, I would like to thank the external examiner from Leeds University, Professor Gigliola Sulis, for her invaluable feedback, which spurred me to further question my understanding of the term ‘translingual’. A special thanks to Paul Thomas Waterhouse for his expertise, his editing skills and for his invaluable help throughout the years. A special heartfelt thanks to my daughter Isabella Jean Frances Waterhouse and to Cecile Sigourney Waterhouse. 3 Abstract: A Translingual Literary Practice The aim of this thesis is to explore literary translingualism. The translingual is a term that is becoming widespread in academia, but is still in need of fuller definition and of being distinguished from other terms with which it overlaps. This thesis uses the term translingual to refer to texts which use more than one language in specific interactive ways, emphasising the dynamic, fluid and generative qualities in texts which cross cultural and linguistic borders and boundaries, rather than defining such texts in a static and additive manner. Translingualism involves the capacity for languages in texts to influence and transform each other in the context of exchanges. Thus, the methodological approach used in this thesis integrates literary studies with findings in language contact studies, since its objective is to understand the way languages in contact in texts influence each other in transformative ways, rather than merely co-existing in the same diglossic space. This necessarily involves a text-focussed interpretive practice, which I term a translingual literary practice (TLP). This approach focuses on the ways linguistic elements are exchanged between or synthesised from two or more linguistic systems. On an aesthetic level, the languages may be used in such a way as to create innovations and produce a new type of literary text that challenges homogenous language systems or dominant discourses. A review of relevant extant secondary literature and a necessarily tentative definition of the translingual, whose purpose is to make clear the differences to similar-sounding terms which are often used indiscriminately, is followed by chapters addressing a wide range of examples of translingual writing from different genres, cultures and language combinations. Without claiming to provide definitive or final answers, the study’s overall goal is to move forward the understanding of the translingual, its scope – what it is and what it is not – and its transformative force. 4 Contents Declaration ........................................................................................................................ 2 Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................... 3 Abstract: A Translingual Literary Practice ....................................................................... 4 Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 9 Contexts and Methodological Approaches to Translingual Literary Practice 9 A Note on Terminology: Glossary in Context ............................................. 16 Glossary .......................................................................................................................... 17 Chapter Plan .................................................................................................................... 19 Chapter 1 Towards a Definition of a Translingual Literary Practice ............................. 23 An Introduction: The Emergence of the Term Translingual ........................ 23 A Translingual Literary Practice: Towards a Theory of a Textual Practice . 24 Language Contact Studies: Key Texts ......................................................... 33 Literate Arts of the Contact Zone: Translingual Texts ................................. 34 The Social Aspects in Language Contact in Translingual Con/texts ........... 39 Interlanguage and ‘Imperfect Learning’ Strategies in Translingual Texts ... 42 Conclusion .................................................................................................... 49 Chapter 2 A Comparative Study: Bilingualism, Multilingualism and Translingualism . 51 Introduction .................................................................................................. 51 New Paradigms and Terminology: Introduction .......................................... 51 Discussions on Terminology Currently in Usage ......................................... 54 Multilingualism, Bilingualism vs. Translingualism: a Comparative Study . 56 Etymological Considerations on Key Terms ................................................ 58 Multilingualism in Literature and Literary Translingualism ........................ 60 From Forster to Contemporary Scholars ...................................................... 62 5 Translingual Calques: Writing in a Second Language ................................. 71 Macaronic Verse in a Translingual Approach. ............................................. 73 Conclusion: Final Considerations ................................................................. 73 Chapter 3 A Translingual Literary Evaluation: T.S.

Ci sono gli scrittori sardi maggiormente conosciuti, dalla Deledda a Salvatore Satta, da Giuseppe Dessì a Salvatore Mannuzzu, ma anche romanzieri dell’Ottocento e dei primi del Novecento poco conosciuti al grande pubblico: da Enrico Costa a Giovanni Antonio Mura, da Filiberto Farci ad Antonio Cossu. Naturalmente non mancano i nomi della nuova generazione della narrativa sarda, da Sergio Atzeni a Marcello Fois, da Giulio Angioni a Michela Murgia. Scrittori e poeti continentali e forestieri: Gabriele D’Annunzio, Vincenzo Cardarelli e Salvatore Quasimodo, e lo scrittore di noir medioevali Valerio Evangelisti, giusto per fare qualche nome noto al grande pubblico.

Textual and Musical Intermedialities in Italian Literature and Film by Erika Marina Nadir Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Luigi Ballerini, Chair This dissertation is a comparative study of Italian opera, literature, and film, and traces the textual and musical intermedialities among the art forms. Using the analytical prisms of Elio Vittorini’s linguaggio unitario del musicista and Giuseppe Verdi’s notion of verità, I examine the myriad ways that literature, film, and music interact and the effects on the respective arts. Chapter 1 focuses on literature that is written in such a way as to evoke music. I analyze three texts and their musical components: Vittorini’s Italian Resistance novel, Uomini e no; the postmodern novel Passavamo sulla terra leggeri by Sergio Atzeni—a soundscape of text that mimics contemporary opera structure; and Manzoni’s I promessi sposi, which was the inspiration for Giuseppe Verdi’s notion of verità in art.

  • The Sardinian Literary Spring: an Overview. a New Perspective on Italian Literature
    The Sardinian Literary Spring: An Overview. A New Perspective on Italian Literature 1. Introduction This article aims at presenting today’s literary scene in Sardinia and how some novelists, during the last few decades, drawing their narrative subjects directly from the regional and local culture, are contributing to a new development in Italian literature. These authors’ novels very often contain references to Sardinian linguistic, social, anthropological, and historical facts, which can help to understand why readers find these works interesting. The attitude towards regional literatures, including minority languages or dialects, has changed over the past decades. On the one hand we have those who support a national, centralised literature based on the Italian language; on the other those who, on the contrary, show the polycentric character of Italian literature, with its local and regional traditions. Although the latter point of view can already be found in Carlo Dionisotti’sGeografia e storia della letteratura italiana[1] (Geography and History of Italian Literature, 1967) as well as in Walter Binni and Natalino Sapegno’s Storia letteraria delle regioni d’Italia[2] (A Literary History of Italian Regions, 1968), which date back to the 1960s, this approach has recently been confirmed in Alberto Asor Rosa’sLetteratura Italiana (Italian Literature, 1989). This work dedicates a volume to the literature of each Italian region, among which one can find that of Sardinia, written by Giovanni Pirodda[3]. Understanding literature also means to know and to comprehend the culture and language(s) that lie behind or underneath any particular work. The fact that Sardinian people have started appreciating and studying their own history, their culture, traditions and languages, but also making them known through books, films and festivals to people outside the island, can partly explain these writers’ success.

  • Aus Dem Bericht Von Andreas Löhrer, Reisestipendium 2007 Für Eine Landeskundliche Reise Nach Sardinien
    Aus dem Bericht von Andreas Löhrer, Reisestipendium 2007 für eine landeskundliche Reise nach Sardinien „... Ich hatte das Stipendium beantragt, um zweierlei auf Sardinien zu tun: Einerseits wollte ich offengebliebene Fragen in der Übersetzung des Romans „La vedova scalza“ von Salvatore Niffoi klären. Andererseits wollte ich kulturelle und sprachliche Recherchen vornehmen und Kontakte zu Personen knüpfen, um weiterhin sardische Literatur nach Deutschland zu transportieren. Vom Flughafen in Olbia ging es mit dem Mietwagen direkt zu einem Abendessen bei einem Freund eines Bekannten inmitten der Barbagia, am Fuß des Supramonte-Gebirges. Die erste meiner vielen Vokabeln, deren deutsches Äquivalent mir unklar war, klärte sich bereits kurz nach der Ankunft wie von selber: Ich betrat das Wohnzimmer und unter dem Fernseher fiel mir auf einer Kommode ein Miniatur-Karren auf. Mich für meinen Berufsstand entschuldigend, erkundigte ich mich nach diesem Gegenstand und der Hausherr berichtete, diese Zierkarren seien weitverbreitet, und normalerweise stelle man sie aus „ferula“, den Stengeln des Riesenfenchels, her, während dieser hier aus Massivholz sei. Die Reise wird sich lohnen, das war mir sofort klar. Ich mietete mich oberhalb des Ortes Oliena in einer Landkooperative ein und machte mich am nächsten Tag auf, den Monte Corrasi, den höchsten Berg des Supramonte, zu ersteigen. Unterwegs kam ich an einer Steinhütte vorbei, vor der ein alter Mann stand. Ich ging auf ihn zu und fragte ihn, ob sein Haus ein „ovile“ sei, was mein Lexikon als „Schäferhütte“ übersetzte, weil es in Deutschland offensichtlich keine entsprechenden Hütten gibt. Er bejahte, doch sei es keine echte ovile mehr, denn sie werde nicht mehr benutzt, früher habe man hier noch Käse hergestellt.
