Réécriture De L'histoire En Bretagne
RÉÉCRITURE DE L’HISTOIRE EN BRETAGNE Dossier rédigé par Marie-Madeleine Flambard, André Hélard, Françoise Morvan et la section de Rennes de la Ligue des Droits de l’Homme Décembre 2000 Le dossier qui suit a été constitué afin de faire part de nos inquiétudes face à un certain nombre de faits dont la conjonction nous semble de nature à faire évoluer la situation en Bretagne dans un sens difficilement compatible avec les idéaux démocratiques qui sont les nôtres. Les quelques cas que nous donnons pour exemple montrent que, loin de concerner une minorité de militants, les faits que nous mettons en lumière impliquent des institutions, le monde de l’entreprise et de nombreuses personnalités . Pourquoi l’affirmation d’une “identité bretonne” devrait-elle se doubler de l’occultation de la vérité historique et de la négation de valeurs universelles ? Les procès Barbie, Touvier, Papon, ont eu une valeur pédagogique et une dimension éthique ; la lecture de notre passé commun devrait valoir pour ce qui s’est passé en Bretagne comme pour ce qui s’est passé ailleurs. Or, il est clair que certains aspects de la période de l’occupation sont systématiquement occultés en Bretagne comme pour préserver l’image du “mouvement breton” qui s’est alors coupé de la population par une collaboration résolue avec l’occupant. Mais pourquoi les dérives nationalistes ne devraient-elles pas apparaître sous le jour qui est le leur ? Nous pensons que la volonté délibérée de minimiser des événements, de tronquer des faits ou de les passer sous silence relève d’une politique qu’il importe d’analyser. -
By Antone Minard King Arthur Needs No Introduction. a Pseudohistorical
“THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN KING ARTHUR AND GWENC’HLAN”: A TRANSLATION by Antone Minard King Arthur needs no introduction. A pseudohistorical king with mythological antecedents,1 the literature concerning him runs continuously from the early Welsh material2 to last year’s miniseries Merlin,3 and last week’s ad for the Excalibur Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The Arthur of tradition has changed as he has moved from culture to culture and language to language, but a few works have served as watersheds, influencing almost everything that came after them. These include Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Brittanium (History of the Kings of Britain)4; the works of Chrétien de Troyes5; and Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur.6 Occasionally, however, a piece of literature has survived which is outside the loop. Lady Charlotte Guest brought some of these to international attention in 1848 with her translation of the Mabinogion, containing Arthurian prose narrative material.7 One such work, “The Dialogue Between Arthur, King of the Bretons, and Gwenc’hlan,” is especially important because it is one of the few Arthurian narratives recorded from Brittany. As J. E. Caerwyn-Williams points out, Brittany was probably the conduit by which the Celtic tradition concerning Arthur found its way to a wider audience in France and England.8 Most of the evidence for this is inference and the sources claimed by later writers—for instance, Marie de France’s claim to have translated Breton lais.9 The poem itself belongs to a branch of Arthurian tradition concerning the prophecies of Merlin. -

The chapters published in the Breton literary journal Al Liamm have appeared under the Breton form of my name, Reun ar C’halan ] 4 CHAPTER ONE MEVEN MORDIERN'S UNPUBLISHED MEMOIRS Meven Mordiern is recognized today as one of the foremost authors in the history of Breton literature. In many ways, he is quite exceptional. He was not a native speaker of Breton. He was not born in Brittany. He did not even have Breton parents. His real name was René Leroux, and he was born in Bordeaux, in 1878, the son of an army doctor. He later studied at the Lycée Condorcet, in Paris. In his childhood, however, he became passionately interested in the history and the culture of the Celts, to such an extent that he devoted his entire life to their study, eventually adopting the Breton name Meven Mordiern. His published works fully justify his preeminent place in the history of Breton literature (Yann Bouëssel du Bourg et Yann Brekilien, "La littérature bretonne", in La Bretagne , Yann Brekilien, ed.[Paris: Les Editions d'Organisation, 1982], pp. -

It contains speculation on some possible reasons for the growth of separatist feeling, and defines terms that are frequently used in the thesis. Chapter One gives an account of Breton history, tracing Brittany's evolution as an independent state, its absorption by France, the disappearartee of its remaining traces of independence, and the last spasms of action to regain this independence after having become merely part of a centralised state. -
ROS Heather Williams
romance studies, Vol. 27 No. 3, July, 2009, 223–233 Between French and Breton: The Politics of Translation Heather Williams Aberystwyth University, UK This article explores the political implications of different types of translation between French and Breton. The bilingual parallel text publication practice of militant poets active in 1960s and 1970s Brittany is discussed in relation to their perception of Brittany as an ‘internal colony’, and against the French State’s attitude towards regional languages. I argue that the Breton versions of these poems that appear alongside the French function as a synecdoche for racial and cultural oppression and injustice across the world. Transla- tions into Breton from other minority cultures are shown to allow the mapping of political allegiances, and a sense of solidarity. The literature produced in the wake of Gwalarn, a periodical which was characterized by its enthusiasm for translation into Breton, is contrasted with the basically Romantic literature produced by nineteenth-century Breton enthusiasts. For Gwalarnistes translation into Breton from world literature was a key in escap- ing the cliché-ridden Brittany that had become familiar in Breton literature. The article concludes by considering the implications of translation out of a minority language and into the politically dominant language. Drawing on work in postcolonial translation studies, as well as comments by Welsh writers and critics on the issue of translation, I suggest that translation can be complex and indeed dangerous in the case of a minority culture such as Brittany’s, and conclude that there can therefore be no all-encompassing theory of translation. keywords Brittany, Translation, Poetry, Internal colonialism, Minority literature All Francophone Breton literature is written between the two main languages of Brittany: Breton, the indigenous Celtic language, and French, the language of the nation-state of which Brittany forms a part. -
GWALARN : Un Nouvel Essor Pour La Littérature Bretonne !
GWALARN : Un nouvel essor pour la littérature bretonne ! En mars 1925, le premier numéro de la revue littéraire bretonne Gwalarn est publié sous la forme d'un supplément trimestriel au journal Breiz Atao, sous le titre "Premier et dernier manifeste de Gwalarn en langue française" cosigné par Roparz Hemon et Olivier Mordrel ; les 143 numéros suivants, jusqu'en 1944, seront tous rédigés en langue bretonne. Dans ce manifeste, les orientations et les objectifs sont clairement exprimés : " Gwalarn est avant tout quelque chose de neuf et d'unique : une revue littéraire, destinée à l'élite du public bretonnant........" "Pour la première fois, une revue bretonnante fournira des travaux d'une irréprochable tenue littéraire, et, fermant la porte aux patois (même décorés du nom de dialectes) adoptera une langue de forme classique et une orthographe rigoureusement unique suivant l'exemple des Sketla Segobrani." "Les colonnes de Gwalarn sont ouvertes à toutes les plumes, sans distinction de parti. L'adhésion à Gwalarn n'implique pas l'adhésion au nationalisme breton. La littérature peut être mise au service de la politique, mais elle n'en dépend pas essentiellement. Il y aura place dans notre revue littéraire pour l'idée bretonne ; il y aura place pour un art libre vis-à-vis de toute doctrine. Nous concevons qu'on puisse s'attacher au breton par pur patriotisme. Nous concevons aussi qu'on puisse le faire par pur sentiment esthétique." Le pari était osé, dans une époque à caractère romantique et de couleur régionaliste, mais il fut relevé par un premier groupe d'écrivains : Roparz Hemon, Youenn Drezen, Abeozen, Jakez Kerrien, Jakez Riou, Olier ap Suliau, Yann-Eozen Jarl, Frañsez Vallée ha Kerverziou. -

Bezen Perrot: The Breton nationalist unit of the SS, 1943-5 Daniel Leach, University of Melbourne Abstract This article charts the origins and course of the wartime Breton collaborationist force, the Bezen Perrot (Perrot Unit). For the first time in English, and employing source material previously unused in any language, it investigates the impact of the 'Irish example' upon Breton militancy from clandestine beginnings to military 'alliance' with Nazi Germany, with particular focus upon nationalist leader Célestin Lainé (aka 'Neven Henaff'). Employing primary material such as interviews with Bezen Perrot veterans and their descendants, previously unpublished photographs, and Lainé's own unpublished memoirs, the motivations of the Bezen's chief identities are contextualised within a Celtic nationalist framework. The article presents an anglophone readership with a largely unexplored chapter of Celtic history while simultaneously challenging much of the French historiography on this controversial subject. -
Le Racisme Et L'antisémitisme De Youenn Drezen
Le racisme et l’antisémitisme de Youenn Drezen, d’après ses articles publiés dans le journal ARVOR dirigé par Roparz Hemon (1942-1944) et dans L’HEURE BRETONNE (1940-1944). Youenn Drezen (Yves Le Drézen, 1899-1972), passe pour l’un des plus grands auteurs de langue bretonne. Son roman Notre-Dame-Bigoudène (Itron Varia Garmez), même publié en breton, en 1941, chez un éditeur nationaliste puis, en 1943, chez Denoël, l’un des éditeurs les plus compromis avec les nazis, avec préface de Jean Merrien (pseudonyme de René Marie de La Poix de Fréminville, rédacteur en chef de L’Heure bretonne), lui a valu une réputation d’homme de gauche, défendu par la gauche indépendantiste, par l’UDB, les communistes ou les socialistes, comme en témoigne l’hommage qui lui a été rendu par la municipalité socialiste de Pont-L’Abbé en 1999. Adhérent de la première heure du parti raciste Breiz Atao, fondé en 1919, il a, suivant la dérive nazie de ce parti, collaboré au journal Arvor dirigé par Roparz Hemon du 21 juin 1942 au 4 juin 1944. Ces articles en breton ont été réédités en 1986 par le professeur Pierre Denis, dit Per Denez, aux éditions Mouladurioù Hor Yezh, qu’il dirige. Il a également collaboré à L’Heure bretonne qui était, sous l’Occupation, l’organe du PNB nazi. L’ensemble de sa collaboration, publiée par Per Denez en 1989 et 1991 à ses éditions, occupe deux volumes, le premier d’entre eux précédé d’une préface où l’éditeur explique que les textes sont apolitiques. -

Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1966-67 Disgrifiad / Description Journal of the testator's father, Rev William Rees (1839-1919), Independent minister at Llechryd, co. Cardigan, who, with part of his congregation, had been locked out of the Old Chapel on 26 February 1880 (NLW MS 12863F). Two obvious reasons for this dispute were the minister's uncompromising views on temperance and his adherence to the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg. The journal commences on 2 March 1880 and the last entry was made some time after Christmas 1917. The contents of this volume may be broadly divided into three sections: the author's career and the history of the new Tabernacle at Llechryd, 1880-1903 and 1911-[?1918] (pp. 1-228 and 457-94), a section which began with his wife's death, and contains, in addition to material such as that found in the first section, a considerable volume of verse, 1904-10 (pp. 229-436); and a brief sketch of his life (pp. 437- 57).
