Emma Bovary – Gemma Bovery Barbara Vinken schreibt im nächsten Heft der Romanischen Studien über den Film Gemma Bovery (2014) von Anne Fontaine und über den zugrundeliegenden Comic (1999) von Posy Simmonds. Quittant son amant Patrick à Londres, l’artiste Gemma épouse le restaurateur de meubles Charlie Bovery et le couple achète une fermette en Normandie. Leur voisin Martin, le boulanger du village, est passionné de littérature. Lorsque Gemma démarre une liaison avec Hervé, le fils du château, Martin est consterné parce qu’il imagine qu’elle suivrait la descente tragique de Emma dans Madame Bovary de Gustave Flaubert. Il lui envoie une lettre, faisant semblant d’être signée par Hervé, pour terminer l’histoire d’amour. Charlie ayant quitté le foyer à cause de cette infidélité, Gemma se trouve seule lorsque son ancien amant Patrick apparaît, cherchant à raviver leur relation passée. Lorsqu’il arrive, un pain spécial que Martin a préparé pour elle est devant sa porte. Mais Gemma s’étouffe en le goûtant. Patrick essaie de l’aider par une manœuvre de Heimlich, quand Charlie réapparaît prenant l’acte médical qu’il pratique sur elle pour un acte amoureux. Alors que les deux hommes se mettent à se battre, Gemma meurt étouffée. (Wikipedia) Als „Gemma Bovery“ vor zehn Jahren in Frankreich erschien, löste es eine Kontroverse aus. Dabei ging es keineswegs darum, dass sich eine Engländerin erfrechte, einen französischen Klassiker zu einer Bande dessinée umzuformulieren, sondern um die Frage, wie textlastig ein Comic sein darf. Tatsächlich missachtet Simmonds etliche Konventionen des Comics. […] Besonders auffällig sind die Textpassagen, mit denen sie die Bildsequenzen unterbricht: Tagebuchaufzeichnungen, Briefe, Beschreibungen, innere Monologe.

Their welcoming neighbor, local baker and Flaubert expert Martin Joubert (Fabrice Luchini) becomes entranced with Gemma and sets out to be her guide and mentor to her new surroundings. It doesn't take long before he is drawing parallels between the literary and real life woman, while he insinuates himself into her life. As reality sets in on the fantasy of rural French domesticity, the Boverys' marriage begins to fray and Gemma finds herself at loose ends. She soon catches the eye of a handsome young playboy and when her magnetic ex suddenly reappears, she finds herself at a crossroads and seems to be fulfilling Joubert's worst fears that her destiny is linked to that of Flaubert’s doomed heroine.

Dans l’univers de la narration graphique, nous trouvons Gemma Bovery (2014) de Posy Simmonds, actuel- lement le seul roman graphique inspiré du chef-d’œuvre Madame Bovary (1857) de Gustave Flaubert. L’objectif du présent article est d’étudier l’ironie flaubertienne comme source de l’humour de Posy Simmonds dans Gemma Bovery (2014). D’abord, nous contextualiserons notre étude dans le domaine des adaptations, de la bande dessinée et du roman graphique à partir des ouvrages et des auteurs clés. Ensuite, dans une partie méthodologique, nous essayerons de définir brièvement le concept d’ironie ainsi que les différents concepts qui peuvent la déclencher dans un texte littéraire. Finalement, dans l’analyse proposée, nous étudierons la présence de l’ironie flaubertienne de la forme au contenu de ce roman graphique, afin d’observer également son originalité.

Flaubert, Apuleius and Ovid: the Genesis of a Recurring Theme
STEPHEN GODDARD Flaubert, Apuleius and Ovid: The Genesis of a Recurring Theme Abstract: This essay examines the way in which Flaubert uses classi- cal intertexts in his works, and, in particular, how the rewriting often gives rise to a burlesque version of the original. It focuses on the tale of Acteon, as recounted by Ovid in Metamorphoses and alluded to by Apuleius in The Golden Ass, and demonstrates how these classical stories are activated in Flaubert’s work. By means of an examination of often striking textual similarities between Flaubert’s work and that of Ovid and Apuleius, this piece shows how a clear pattern of intertex- tual reference emerges in Flaubert’s work, ranging from early “straight” borrowings from the classical texts to later burlesques of certain of their aspects. Numerous commentators have noted the importance of the fairy tale as a point of reference in Flaubert’s work.1 Equally as obsessive, and, of course, also related to a particular fairy tale – that of La Belle et la Bête – is the appearance of the Cupid/Eros and Psyche myth as a point of reference for much of Flaubert’s symbolism.2 So well-known is the latter intertext that the myth emerges in the most unlikely circum- stances: for example, in Gemma Bovery, Posy Simmonds’s cartoon re- 1 See, for example, Anne Green, ‘Flaubert and the Sleeping Beauty: An Obsessive Image’, in New Approaches in Flaubert studies, ed. by Tony Williams and Mary Orr (Lampeter: Edwin Mellen Press, 1999), pp. 65-80. 2 The most obvious example is Margaret Lowe’s study, Towards the Real Flaubert: A Study of ‘Madame Bovary’ (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1984).

presenta Gemma Bovery un film di ANNE FONTAINE con FABRICE LUCHINI e GEMMA ARTERTON Tratto dall’omonima graphic novel di Posy Simmonds FRANCIA - 2014 - 99 minuti distribuzione: Officine UBU www.officineubu.com ufficio stampa film Stefania Collalto – [email protected] - +39 339 4279472 Lisa Menga – [email protected] - +39 346 3854354 Diletta Colombo – [email protected] - +39 347 8169825 SINOSSI Martin è un intellettuale parigino riciclatosi, più o meno volontariamente, come panettiere in un paesino della Normandia. Delle sue ambizioni di gioventù gli rimane una fervida immaginazione e una passione mai sopita per la grande letteratura, in particolare per le opere di Gustave Flaubert. Questa passione si risveglia quando una coppia di inglesi, dai nomi curiosamente familiari, si trasferisce in un rustico nelle vicinanze. I nuovi arrivati si chiamano Gemma e Charles Bovery, e persino i loro comportamenti sembrano imitare gli eroi di "Madame Bovary". Martin si prodiga affinché il destino della coppia non segua la stessa trama, ma la bella Gemma Bovery non ha letto i classici della letteratura e intende vivere la propria vita come più le piace… INTERVISTA AD ANNE FONTAINE Come ha scoperto la graphic novel di Posy Simmonds? Conoscevo Posy Simmonds per via di Tamara Drewe - Tradimenti all'inglese, e il solo fatto che il libro fosse intitolato Gemma Bovery mi intrigava molto: il gioco di parole su un archetipo letterario femminile mi sembrava promettente e divertente. Quando ho letto la graphic novel, i personaggi mi hanno intrigata e toccata nel profondo: ho percepito chiaramente il loro potenziale comico e la loro profondità umana, e sono stata sedotta dal tono dell’autrice, tra commedia feroce e formidabile ironia.

Read the review by Eric Hillis. If you are familiar with Flaubert's work, you are aware of the story although there are a few "updates" and it's twists and Gemma Bovery through the characters lives. Anne Fontaine confirmed in early that she Gemma Bovery direct the film with Philippe Carcassonne and Faye Ward producing it. This is a hybrid of novel and comic book: much of the story is told through chunks of text, representing Joubert's narration, with accompanying illustrations showing what really happened. Martin, an ex-Parisian well-heeled hipster passionate about Gustave Flaubert who settled into a Norman village as a baker, sees an English couple moving into a small farm nearby. Bruno Coulais Original Music. Gemma Bovery Critics Consensus Gemma Bovery 's bursts of charm -- among them Gemma Arterton's winsome performance in the title role -- are often enough to compensate for its lack of focus. Gemma, unable to resist, makes love to him again witnessed by the furious Joubert but then realises to her delight that she is now able to resist his charms. Loved the sultry atmosphere in this french film. This work needs no explanation or apology to readers of this paper, who felt inconsolably bereft when the strip reached an end over Gemma Bovery year ago.

Ort, Datum ................................................................................................ Unterschrift Abstract: Die Diplomarbeit hat ausgewählte Comic- und Filmadaptionen, die sich an dem literarischen Thema von Madame Bovary anlehnen, zum Thema und beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob und warum diese beiden Arten von Medien besonders gut für intermediale Transfers geeignet sind. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit wird eine Definition von Intermedialität vorgestellt sowie auf die verschiedenen Typen eingegangen. Des Weiteren stellt sich heraus, dass sich Comics und Filme vieler ähnlicher Erzählstrukturen bedienen. Die Besonderheit aber ist, dass die Sequenzialität von Bildern, sowohl in Form von Panels als auch von Einstellungen, das wichtigste gemeinsame narrative Merkmal dieser beiden Medientypen darstellt. Diese Erkenntnis wird sogleich mithilfe von Film- und Comicanalysen zur Probe gestellt.

TURUN YLIOPISTON JULKAISUJA ANNALES UNIVERSITATIS TURKUENSIS SARJA - SER. B OSA - TOM. 341 HUMANIORA Caribbean Journeys Intersections of Female Identity in the Novels of Michelle Cliff By Kaisa Ilmonen TURUN YLIOPISTO UNIVERSITY OF TURKU Turku 2012 ISBN 978-951-29-4941-0 (PRINT) ISBN 978-951-29-4942-7 (PDF) ISSN 0082-6987 Layout Linda Talve Cover photo © Lars Christensen Uniprint – Turku, Finland 2012 Acknowledgements One thing that I remember from my childhood is my love of stories. I began to invent all kinds of stories myself, before I even could read or write. Another point is that I almost always found the protagonists in the children’s books extremely boring, and I used to imagine that they had hidden evil sides, ulterior motives, or secret characteristics. I also wanted to know more about the rather flat secondary characters. I tended to ask questions like, ‘What happened to them after that?’, ‘Where did they come from?’, ‘What are their families like?’, and I never received satisfactory answers to my ponderings. Today, more than thirty years later, my love for stories has grown into an academic interest in the study of narratives and literary theory. Indeed, I feel lucky almost every day that I have had the opportunity to turn my love of books into a profession, and that I get to teach my favorite short stories to students who share the same love of narrative with me. My path to being a literary scholar, however, has been long, and at times, also rough. Now, it is time to stand back and thank all of you people without whose help, intelligence, inspiration, advice and friendship, I would never have achieved my dream of completing my doctoral dissertation.

Gemma Bovery: Dal Graphic Novel All’Adattamento Cinematografico Francese Gemma Bovery: from the Graphic Novel to the French Cinematographic Adaptation
GEMMA BOVERY: DAL GRAPHIC NOVEL ALL’ADATTAMENTO CINEMATOGRAFICO FRANCESE GEMMA BOVERY: FROM THE GRAPHIC NOVEL TO THE FRENCH CINEMATOGRAPHIC ADAPTATION Marilisa Finocchiaro Dipartimento di Scienze Umanistiche, Università degli Studi di Catania (Italia) Laurea magistrale in lingue e letterature comparate (2018) [email protected] Supervisor: prof. PhDr. Loredana Pavone ([email protected]) Parole chiave traduzione intersemiotica, graphic novel, adattamento cinematografico, Flaubert Key words intersemiotic translation, graphic novel, cinematographic adaptation, Flaubert 1. Introduzione Che cosa vuol dire tradurre? All’inizio del suo libro Dire quasi la stessa cosa (1), Umberto Eco risponde a questa domanda, scrivendo che tradurre coincide col “dire quasi la stessa cosa in un’altra lingua” (Eco, 2003, p. 45). Quel “quasi” che lo scrittore utilizza sta ad indicare il fatto che, per quanto una traduzione possa essere ben fatta, non sarà mai del tutto uguale all’originale, poiché ogni lingua ha le sue peculiarità grammaticali, stilistiche e culturali. Secondo Jakobson (2), la traduzione pone un problema d’interpretazione del segno linguistico, che non si limita solo alla trasposizione interlinguistica, ma anche a quella intersemiotica. Egli continua, affermando che quest’ultimo tipo di traduzione, chiamata anche trasmutazione, consiste nell’interpretazione dei segni linguistici per mezzo di sistemi di segni non linguistici. L’argomento centrale di questo articolo riguarda proprio la traduzione intersemiotica relativa al graphic novel, Gemma Bovery (3), dell’autrice britannica Posy Simmonds (pubblicato nel 2000) e all’omonimo film francese di Anne Fontaine del 2014. Il titolo riecheggia sicuramente il celebre romanzo di Flaubert, Madame Bovary (4), e ciò non è per nulla casuale: attraverso alcune interviste rilasciate dall’autrice inglese, dimostrerò come e perché si sia lasciata ispirare da questo romanzo francese.
