PR137.I8P37 2007 458’.022--dc21 2007020322 Translating Style A Literary Approach to Translation, A Translation Approach to Literature Second Edition Tim Parks Arising from a dissatisfaction with blandly general or abstrusely theoretical approaches to translation, this book sets out to show, through detailed and lively analysis, what it really means to translate literary style. Combining linguistic and lit crit approaches, it proceeds through a series of interconnected chapters to analyse translations of the works of D.H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Henry Green and Barbara Pym. Each chapter thus becomes an illuminating critical essay on the author concerned, showing how divergences between original and translation tend to be of a different kind for each author depending on the nature of his or her inspiration. This new and thoroughly revised edition introduces a system of ‘back transla- tion’ that now makes Tim Parks’ highly-praised book reader friendly even for those with little or no Italian. An entirely new final chapter considers the pro- found effects that globalization and the search for an immediate international readership is having on both literary translation and literature itself. Tim Parks was born in Manchester and studied at Cambridge and Harvard Universities. He presently runs a post-graduate course in translation at IULM university, Milan. He has written thirteen novels, the most recent being Cleaver, and three best selling accounts of life in provincial Italy as well as two collections of literary essays, Hell and Back and The Fighter. He is also the translator of Antonio Tabucchi, Italo Calvino, Alberto Moravia and Roberto Calasso and has twice won the prestigious John Florio prize and the Italo Calvino award for literary translation from Italian. Praise for the first edition This illuminating book should be read closely by anyone interested in the art of translation. Tim Parks belongs to that rarest breed of translator – one who also writes. He is a brilliantly idiosyncratic novelist who brings to the difficult task of translation a keen understanding of the way other novelists work. Paul Bailey, The Daily Telegraph A book … for anyone with an interest in translation studies, whether they are studying, teaching or practising translation. But equally a book for literary critics, essential for anyone concerned with Modernist fiction, and of great value to those working in the field of stylistics. … the reader is rewarded with unexpected and often brilliant insights. This is certainly one of the most interesting books on translation to appear recently. Jean Boase-Beir, The Translator … a stunningly successful essay on the nuts and bolts of translation, the most useful, from a translator’s point of view, that I have ever come across. … All Parks’s examples are rewarding and stimulating, and (more surprisingly, perhaps) he has made the book so readable that I have read it anywhere and everywhere, in bed, on buses, in a hospital waiting room, even in the bath. It is that sort of book, approachable, exciting. Isabel Quigley Attractive and interesting. Umberto Eco Translating Style is the ideal book for anyone who loves great literature … and who is fascinated by the mysterious ways in which writers exploit all the arcane qualities of literary language to expand our experience and our sensibilities.

Author’s Note to the New Edition This is a completely revised edition of a book written ten years ago. As such it represents a radical attempt to extend the book’s readership, to move it out of a niche and put it in the way of any reader interested in style, language and literature. Why was this necessary? Translating Style was never an overly academic book. It was never jargon bound. I had wanted to show how the experience of translation can tell us a lot about literature, give us insights into the books we love that we will not pick up from regular criticism. And I wanted to sug- gest that an understanding of literary strategies is essential for the translator. The only way to do this, I thought, was by analysing extended examples of stylish writing, together with their corresponding translations. To draw in as many people as possible I chose authors and books that many readers would be familiar with: the great modernists in particular: Lawrence Joyce, Woolf, Beckett, plus two favourites of mine, Barbara Pym and Henry Green. The problem was that since I looked extensively at Italian translations of those books (Italian being my second language), readers with little or no Italian would feel left out. I resigned myself to the idea that, for better or worse, such a book could appeal only to a limited audience. Yet again and again, over the years, people with no Italian at all told me they had read Translating Style and found it fascinating. If only, they said, they could get a slightly better sense of the transformations that had taken place in the Italian translation! This edition attempts to meet the needs of these readers, to demystify the Italian translations and hence to make my comments on the original English texts more persuasive. How? Imperfectly no doubt, using back-translations and, occasionally, glosses. From the second chapter on, from the point that is where we begin to discuss the work of our six chosen authors, every passage of Italian translation is followed by a back-translation, which is to say by the same passage returned (back-translated) into English.

  • Mrs. Alavi: Summer Reading List: English IV (2016) Next Year, You'll
    Mrs. Alavi: Summer Reading List: English IV (2016) Next year, you’ll be taking Senior English (English IV). English IV will focus on novels, poetry, memoirs, and short stories. One of the primary themes for your senior year will be the nature of humanity—are we inherently good? Inherently evil? How do the situations in our lives alter our nature? As we work our way through Senior English, we will look at some British literature, particularly that of the Romantic Era. We will also spend time reading what is called “Post-Colonial Literature,” the literature that offers people of non-British, non-European background to tell their own story, rather than being forced to let outsiders interpret their cultures for them. To this end, we will begin with the one required book for this summer: Heart of Darkness by Josef Conrad. Though this novel is short, some people think this is a tough book to read, so give yourself time. This is not something you want to pick up for the first time, two days before we return to school in August—the horror, the horror. As the course progresses, we will follow up this novel with others that are either responses to the book (Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart), or pieces inspired by Conrad’s novel (Daniel Mason’s The Piano Tuner.) Your summer reading assignment is to read two books. The second is a book of your choice from the list attached. If you have trouble picking a book, ask your parents and friends for suggestions, or research some of the titles that intrigue you.

On the left, the main door to the village church, on the right a cafe whose sign is badly in need of repainting, with two tables with chairs. In between the church and the cafe there is a row of three drab houses. On the first house and third house a shutter or two is open, but the shutters of the center house are closed and one or two are hanging askew. A small riser stands in front of the center house. Two older men play cards at one of the cafe tables. An old woman, dressed in black, sits on the stoop of the first house, taking in the scene while absentmindedly gnashing her teeth. Suddenly the blast of a horn from an arriving bus is heard off left, making the old woman and the men jump. Father Sarducci, the town priest opens the door of the church and steps out at the same time, Gaetano, the owner of the cafe and his wife, Giuseppina, step out of the cafe to find out what is going on. The voices of three men singing Bon Jovi’s This House is Not for Sale is heard coming from the direction of the bus.

    Käraste Micke med barn, Tillsammans med er sörjer vi en underbar persons hädangång, och medan ni har förlorat en hustru och en mamma har miljoner av beundrare världen över förlorat en vän och en inspirationskälla. Många av dessa kände att de hade velat prata med er, dela sina historier om Marie med er, om vad hon betydde för dem, och hur mycket hon har förändrat deras liv. Det ni håller i era händer är en samling av över 6200 berättelser, funderingar och minnen från människor ni förmodligen inte kän- ner personligen, men som Marie har gjort ett enormt intryck på. Ni kommer att hitta både sorgliga och glada inlägg förstås, men huvuddelen av dem visar faktiskt hur enormt mycket bättre världen har blivit med hjälp av er, och vår, Marie. Hon kommer att leva kvar i så många människors hjärtan, och hon kommer aldrig att glömmas. Tack för allt Marie, The Daily Roxette å tusentals beundrares vägnar. A A. Sarper Erokay from Ankara/ Türkiye: How beautiful your heart was, how beautiful your songs were. It is beyond the words to describe my sorrow, yet it was pleasant to share life on world with you in the same time frame. Many of Roxette songs inspired me through life, so many memories both sad and pleasant. May angels brighten your way through joining the universe, rest in peace. Roxette music will echo forever wihtin the hearts, world and in eternity. And you’ll be remembered! A.Frank from Germany: Liebe Marie, dein Tod hat mich zu tiefst traurig gemacht. Ich werde deine Musik immer wieder hören.

Academic approaches are generally reviewed in a more pronounced manner. Within the frame of this paper gecekondu phenomenon is conceived according to different time periods well-known in gecekondu studies; i.e. from the 1940s to 1970 as the ‘period of innocence and marginalisation’, the 1970s as period of ‘politization’ and ‘first benefits of speculation’, and from 1980 onwards as the period of the “varoş”, of full speculation and complete illegalisation. It is considered a priori that, its perception changed in line with the above mentioned periods through which the phenomenon itself has materially and considerably changed. INTRODUCTION As the title emphasises, the aim of this paper is not to define the gecekondu phenomenon nor to describe its development through history, but to discuss and explore the way it is perceived and explained by public opinion according to transformations it underwent over time. Gecekondu studies always remained as a focus of interest as well as one of favourite and fruitful subjects in Turkish social and urban sciences literature. Numerous papers, researches, articles and books have been produced and published in this field.

  • The Good Terrorist(S)'? Interrogating Gender and Violence in Ann Devlin's '
    Estudios Irlandeses , Number 7, 2012, pp. 69-78 __________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI The Good Terrorist(s)’? Interrogating Gender and Violence in Ann Devlin’s ‘Naming the Names’ and Anna Burns’ No Bones Fiona McCann Université de Lille 3 Copyright (c) 2012 by Fiona McCann. 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 for access. Abstract. This paper aims to analyse the depiction of IRA female volunteers in Ann Devlin’s “Naming the Names” (1986) and Anna Burns’ No Bones (2001) and to consider the relationship established between gender and violence in these texts. I investigate the extent to which the female terrorists portrayed conform to the “mother, monster, whore” paradigm identified by Laura Sjoberg and Caron Gentry (2007) in their study of women’s violence in global politics and consider what differences, if any, are established with these characters’ male counterparts. The ways in which both authors destabilise traditional gender stereotypes is also explored, as is the question of whether these texts might be considered as feminist fictions.1 Key Words. Female terrorists, IRA, gender, violence, fiction, North of Ireland Resumen. El artículo se propone analizar la presentación de activistas del IRA en el relato “Naming the Names” (1986) de Ann Devlin y la novela No Bones (2001) de Anna Burns, y considerar la relación que se establece entre género y violencia en dichos textos. Se investiga en qué medida las mujeres terroristas descritas se ajustan al paradigma de “madre, monstruo, prostituta” identificado por Laura Sjoberg y Caron Gentry (2007) en su estudio sobre la violencia en la política global, y se considera si es que se establecen diferencias con sus homólogos masculinos.
