  • European Train Names: a Historic Outline Christian Weyers
    ONOMÀSTICA BIBLIOTECA TÈCNICA DE POLÍTICA LINGÜÍSTICA European Train Names: a Historic Outline* Christian Weyers DOI: 10.2436/15.8040.01.201 Abstract This paper gives a first overview of the onomastic category of train names, searches to classify the corpus and reviews different stages of their productivity. Apart from geographical names (toponyms, choronyms, compass directions) generally indicating points of origin and destination of the trains in question, a considerable number of personal names have entered this category, of classical literary authors, musicians and scientists, but also of many fictional or non-fictional characters taken from literature or legendary traditions. In some cases also certain symbolic attributes of these persons and finally even heraldic figures have given their names to trains. In terms of their functionality, train names originally were an indicator of exclusiveness and high grade of travel quality, but they developed gradually, as they dispersed over the European continent, into a rather unspecific, generalized appellation, also for regional and local trains. After two periods of prosperity after 1950, the privatisation of railway companies starting in the 1990s had again a very positive effect on the category, as the number of named trains initially reached a new record in this decade. ***** The first train names appeared in England in the 1860s in addition to names for steam locomotives, and on two different levels. The Special Scotch Express between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh (inaugurated in 1862) was called by the public The Flying Scotsman from the 1870s, but it succeeded as the official name not before 1924. Also the names of the German diesel trainsets Der Fliegende Hamburger and Der Fliegende Kölner were colloquial name creations, as were the Train Bleu and the Settebello operated from 1922 and 1953 but officially named in 1947 and 1958, respectively.

  • Contamination: 41St Annual Nineteenth-Century French Studies Colloquium
    Contamination: 41st Annual Nineteenth-Century French Studies Colloquium Image: Louis Pasteur, by M. Renourad (L’Illustration, 1884) Princeton University November 5-7, 2015 NCFS 2015: Contamination Princeton University November 5-7, 2015 Thursday 5 November Session 1 – 12:00 pm - 1:45 pm Panel 1.A: Impurities of the Novel Chair: Gerald Prince, University of Pennsylvania “Space and Narration in Les Misérables” David F. Bell, Duke University The narrative logic of realist novels is causal, one event in a novel leads logically to another, and the deus ex machina is banished in favor of a logic of encounter and coincidence, organized around the structure of the biographies of individual novelistic characters evolving in a sort of “naturalized” space. Hugo’s Les Misérables is not always, perhaps not even principally, structured by this realist logic. It has been estimated, for example, that about twenty-five percent of the pages of the novel take the form of digressions, tied to narrative events in only loosely thematic ways, where Hugo discusses ideas and issues at a leisurely, didactic pace while the story in the narrative grinds to a screeching halt. It is almost as if the novel’s organization were a reactivation and exploitation of the classic rhetorical notion of the topos. As Frances Yates argued in The Art of Memory, the notion of topos, analyzed in Aristotle’s Rhetoric, came out of a tradition of architectural mnemonics, and this paper explores the role this architectural mnemonics plays in structuring Hugo’s novel. “Une forme d’hybridation romanesque chez Balzac : organique/inorganique” Francesco Spandri, University of Rome III Le problème des relations entre l’organique et l’inorganique se présente dans La Comédie humaine sous de multiples formes, et notamment à travers l’insertion dans le récit des interactions mutuelles entre le Minéral et le Vivant.

Evans ABSTRACT: This article discusses how Verne mythologizes and poeticizes his fictional machines. More than just a means for solving problems and/or for providing access to exotic geographical locales, Verne’s technology is portrayed as being intrinsically poetic. Bridging the worlds of the industrial and the artistic, Verne’s machines constitute a new kind of objet d’art. Anthropomorphized to make them seem less coldly mechanical, these devices take on a life of their own and exist in a richly symbiotic relationship with their creators. Such machines transport the readers of Verne’s Voyages extraordinaires beyond the mimetic, serving both as a means to build verisimilitude and as a stepping-stone to transcend the real.

  • Sons and the City: a Study of Two Novels by Jules Verne
    SONS AND THE CITY: A STUDY OF TWO NOVELS BY JULES VERNE By CHRISTOPHER WILLIAM SHEARD A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2011 1 © 2011 Christopher William Sheard 2 To Estelle 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would firstly like to thank my committee. My chair, Dr. Rori Bloom, has been most helpful in providing guidance and support. Dr. Terry Harpold's infectious enthusiasm for all things Vernian provided a catalyst for many of the ideas that make up this study. I would also like to thank Dr. Brigitte Weltman-Aron who, in her capacity as Graduate Student Coordinator, has encouraged me in my explorations of French literature. Advanced study of any literature is impossible without first learning the language. I would like to thank my high school French teachers, Mrs. Celeste Newns and Mrs. Marion Halstead, for encouraging me in my early forays into the francophone world. I would also like to pay homage to the late Mr. Leonard Knapper for telling me to keep it simple. I can only hope that my baroque sensibilities would not have disappointed him too much. To the medical staff of UF Shands Hospital in Gainesville, FL, I owe my life. Profound thanks go to Dr. Thomas Beaver for being truly expert. My grandmother, Peggy, deserves a special mention for her unrivaled capacity for conveying drama and mystery in her depiction of the everyday. From her I learned that behind reality lurks fantasy and vice versa.
