RÉFÉRENCES .............................................................................................................. 101 I. Introduction C’est lors d’un voyage à Londres que j’ai découvert 1971-Never a Dull Moment de David Hepworth, à la librairie de la gare de Saint-Pancras pour être précis. En tant que musicien, je voulais un livre qui traite de la musique. La lecture du livre m’a captivé et la combinaison des aspects culturels et littéraires sur un sujet qui me touche m’est apparue comme le cocktail idéal pour mon travail de fin d’études. J’ai donc contacté l’agent de David Hepworth, George Smit, qui m’a confirmé qu’il n’existait qu’une traduction en espagnol du livre, mais aucune en français. Si, dans les textes techniques, juridiques, dans les contrats voire les modes d’emploi, le but de la traduction est plus évident et l’effet du texte cible plus clair, la traduction d’un livre entier rédigé comme un grand article de magazine retraçant la chronique musicale et sociale d’une époque était pour moi un défi nouveau et motivant. Ce travail porte donc sur le processus mis en place pour aboutir à la traduction la plus pertinente, les théories utilisées et leurs liens avec la pratique dans le cadre d’une traduction à l’aspect culturel très marqué. Après une présentation de l’auteur, la première partie de ce travail consiste en une traduction des trois premiers chapitres de l’ouvrage de D. Hepworth. Dans la deuxième partie, intitulée Commentaires, je m’attarderai sur la théorie du skopos, sur les différentes stratégies et les procédés mis en œuvre, ainsi que leurs effets sur la traduction. A. L’auteur Afin d’éclairer le lecteur, je souhaite présenter brièvement l’auteur pour mieux comprendre son expérience personnelle et sa relation particulière avec 1971, qui est l’année où le rock, tout 1 comme lui, a atteint sa majorité1. Cela nous permettra également de bien cerner l’intention de son ouvrage. Né en 1950 à Dewsbury dans le Yorkshire en Grande Bretagne2, David Hepworth a été un rédacteur en chef et directeur d’entreprise et est aujourd’hui auteur, journaliste et animateur radio3. Malgré son influence colossale dans la presse musicale britannique, il n’est que très peu connu dans le monde francophone. C’est dans le Yorkshire qu’est née sa fascination pour la musique. Dans les années soixante, il a pu découvrir sur scène des artistes tels que Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, The Animals, The Nashville Teens, Louis Armstrong et bien d’autres4. La musique a jalonné son parcours professionnel : dans les années septante, il travaillait dans un magasin de disques à Londres. Ensuite, il a été engagé auprès du label Beserkley Records5 avant de se lancer comme journaliste à plein temps6. Il a publié ses premiers articles dans les célèbres magazines New Musical Express (NME) et Sounds7. En 1981, après trois ans passés au sein du magazine Smash Hits (éditions Emap), il a fini par en devenir le rédacteur en chef. En effet, grâce à sa vision et son influence, le magazine se vendait alors à plus d’un million d’exemplaires8. David Hepworth et Emap ont eu une longue et fructueuse collaboration. Il est à l’origine d’un nombre impressionnant de magazines devenus plus ou moins célèbres : Just Seventeen (1983), Looks (1985), Q (1986), More

  • Biography -- Printable Version
    Biography -- Printable Version Peter Wolf's Historical Biography Written & Researched by Bryan Wiser, and Sheila Warren with Mimi Fox. Born in New York City, Peter grew up in the Bronx during the mid-1950's in a small, three-room apartment where he lived with his parents, older sister, two cats, dog and parakeet. For some time, Peter lived with his grandmother, an actress in New York City's Yiddish Theater. She and Peter had a strong bond, and she affectionately named him "Little Wolf" for his energetic and rambunctious ways. His father was a musician, vaudevillian and singer of light opera. Like Peter did years later, his father left home at age fourteen to join the Schubert Theater Touring Company with which he traveled the country performing light operas such as The Student Prince and Merry Widow. He had his own radio show called The Boy Baritone, which featured new songs from Tin Pan Alley, and was a member of the Robert Shaw Chorale. As a result of such artistic pursuits, Peter's father underwent long periods of unemployment that created a struggle to make financial ends meet. Peter's mother was an elegant and attractive woman who taught inner-city children in the South Bronx for 27 years. A political activist, union organizer and staunch civil rights advocate, she supported racial equality by attending many of the southern "freedom rides" and marches. Peter's older sister was also a teacher as well as a photographer who now works as an advocate for persons with disabilities. She continues her mother's tradition, often marching on Washington to support the rights of the disabled.

  • U2 at the End of the World – Português – Capítulos 41-60
    41. Dublinenses por que joyce teve de deixar a irlanda para escrever ulysses / a carruagem com gavin friday em cima / u2 se transforma nos virgin prunes / por isso win wenders / domingo na tenda com bono Bono conheceu Salman Rushdie devido ao interesse em comum por uma guerra orquestrada por Reagan, contra o governo marxista da Nicarágua. Eles visitaram o país simultaneamente no verão de 1986. Eles não se encontraram na época, mas continuaram ouvindo falar um sobre o outro enquanto viajavam. Um dia, a intérprete de Rushdie veio sem fôlego falar para ele: “Você nunca vai adivinhar quem está vindo! Sabe quem? Bono!”. Então ela se acalmou e disse: “Desculpe - Quem é Bono?” Mais tarde, Bono leu o livro de Rushdie sobre a sua viagem à América Central, O Sorriso do Jaguar, e ficou impressionado o suficiente para convidar o escritor para um show do U2. Eu contei a Rushdie que no voo para a Itália, mês passado, eu estava lendo sua coletânea Imaginary Homelands. Quando eu li esse ensaio sobre Raymond Carver, fiquei impressionado com uma linha do poema “Suspenders” que Rushdie citou sobre o “silêncio que chega numa casa onde ninguém consegue dormir”. Isso claramente inspirou o verso de Bono em “Ultra Violet (Light My Way)”: “Há um silêncio que chega na nossa casa quando ninguém consegue dormir”. Carver foi uma inspiração para as letras de The Joshua Tree, então não foi uma grande surpresa que o U2 o tivesse citado novamente. Porém, quando eu mencionei a referência feita por Bono, ele disse: “Ah, merda! Eu não me dei conta disso! Eu devo ter lido isso e esquecido.
