Reimagining Translated Children's Literature Reimagining Translated Children's Literature: Gender and Physical Difference in Selected English Translations, Retranslations and Re-Editions of Le Avventure di Pinocchio and La Belle et la Bête. REBECCA CHARLENE WILLIAMS School of Modern Languages, Cardiff University A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. February 2021 Acknowledgements This thesis is the product of the effort, support and encouragement of several people to whom I am truly indebted. First and foremost, I extend my sincere thanks to my supervisors, Dr Cristina Marinetti and Professor Loredana Polezzi. Thank you for meticulously reading copious drafts of my work and helping me to navigate my way through what has been an intellectually stimulating and unforgettable journey. It has been a pleasure to work with you both. I would like to thank Dr Liz Wren-Owens, who has offered invaluable feedback at various stages of this research. Thank you for your constructive criticism and for providing a fresh perspective when I needed it the most. I also owe a great debt of gratitude to Dr Carlos Sanz-Mingo, Cathy Molinaro and Vanna Motta, who have nurtured my passion for foreign languages and translation since I was an undergraduate student and guided me to this point in my academic career. I am unreservedly thankful for your affectionate motivation and unwavering kindness. Last but certainly not least, I am eternally grateful to my family. I am truly fortunate to be surrounded by your unconditional love. To my parents: you have been a constant source of support throughout this academic voyage. Without you, I would have had neither the opportunity nor the confidence to complete this PhD. To my brothers, Matthew and Peter: your humour and warmth brighten up even the most challenging of days. To my grandparents: thank you for your continued encouragement and for simply being there. i Abstract Translated children's literature represents a cultural experience which intervenes in a child's perception of the world, and its social value is thus important to examine. The aim of this thesis is to understand how translated children's literature is deployed as a tool to communicate to young readers representations of gender and physical difference, two notions that are pivotal within contemporary discussions of identity. To do this, it engages with the theoretical conceptualisations of translation, retranslation, rewriting and re-editioning which are located in the field of Translation Studies. The thesis turns to two classical European children's tales – Le Avventure di Pinocchio (1883) [The Adventures of Pinocchio] and La Belle et la Bête (1756) [Beauty and the Beast] – to explore how processes of translation affect the construction, transmission and transformation of gender and physical difference in stories for children. It examines how translation can intervene in the way in which these notions are exhibited in these two popular children's tales, both of which have travelled diachronically and diatopically. Le Avventure di Pinocchio and La Belle et la Bête have been passed from generation to generation and from culture to culture since their inception, and they are thus ideally positioned to investigate how the child reader has been presented with notions of identity at different moments in time and in different cultural contexts. The analysis specifically considers how these two classics of children's literature have journeyed to and within Britain, carrying images of gender and physical difference with them. It aims to disentangle those images as they cross cultural, linguistic and temporal borders and are reshaped for young audiences in Britain over time. As its methodological approach, it uses retranslation, rewriting and re-editioning to unpack how translation can mediate in portrayals of gender and physical difference and how this, in turn, can shape children's narratives. ii Table of Contents Acknowledgments i Abstract ii Table of Contents iii List of Abbreviations x List of Figures xi Introduction 1-13 I.

  • Dear READER, Winter/Spring 2021 SQUARE BOOKS TOP 100 of 2020 to Understate It—2020 Was Not Square Books’ Best Year
    Dear READER, Winter/Spring 2021 SQUARE BOOKS TOP 100 OF 2020 To understate it—2020 was not Square Books’ best year. Like everyone, we struggled—but we are grateful to remain in business, and that all the booksellers here are healthy. When Covid19 arrived, our foot-traffic fell precipitously, and sales with it—2020 second-quarter sales were down 52% from those of the same period in 2019. But our many loyal customers adjusted along with us as we reopened operations when we were more confident of doing business safely. The sales trend improved in the third quarter, and November/December were only slightly down compared to those two months last year. We are immensely grateful to those of you who ordered online or by phone, allowing us to ship, deliver, or hold for curbside pickup, or who waited outside our doors to enter once our visitor count was at capacity. It is only through your abiding support that Square Books remains in business, ending the year down 30% and solid footing to face the continuing challenge of Covid in 2021. And there were some very good books published, of which one hundred bestsellers we’ll mention now. (By the way, we still have signed copies of many of these books; enquire accordingly.) Many books appear on this list every year—old favorites, if you will, including three William Faulkner books: Selected Short Stories (37th on our list) which we often recommend to WF novices, The Sound and the Fury (59) and As I Lay Dying (56), as well as a notably good new biography of Faulkner by Michael Gorra, The Saddest Words: William Faulkner’s Civil War (61).

    Pinocchio and the Childhood Rights Secondo Istituto Comprensivo di Cassino Erasmus+ “Valuing Play” 2 Once upon a time Geppetto, an old carpenter, made a puppet that had a big long nose. His body was made of wood. Because he was made of wood he was called after a pine: Pinocchio. ¢ Art. 7 -You have the right to be given a name at the moment of birth and registered. ¢ Art. 23 - If you are disabled you have the right to special care and to an education that allows you to grow as all children. 3 Pinocchio was good but sometimes clumsy which made him difficult at times. Sometimes he would be angry, sometimes wanting to run away , sometimes distracted to the point that once he burned his feet while sleeping too close to a fire ¢ Art. 27 - You have the right to a good standard of living: food. Clothing, shelter, must be guaranteed. 4 Geppetto rebuilt Pinocchio’s feet making them better than before. To help Pinocchio, Geppetto thought that it would be better if Pinocchio went to school. So he sold his jacket to buy Pinocchio clothes, books, pencils, notebooks and all the necessary things for school. ¢ Art. 18 - Your parents, or guardians, have to do what is best for you. 5 While Pinocchio is going to school he sees a puppet show and forgets Geppetto’s warnings and joins the puppet theatre. ¢ Art. 14 - You have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. 6 On stage Pinocchio meets many new puppet friends.

  • Pinocchio Script
    Ziptales Timeless Tales Based on the classic tale by Carlo Collodi Pinocchio 1 Once upon a time there was a poor carpenter named Geppetto. He had never married, and so had no children. ‘How I wish I had a little boy of my own!” One day, he saw a puppet theatre in the street. The puppets seemed so lifelike. “I will make a child of my own.” 2 He hurried back to his workshop, and set to work immediately. He made the puppet’s head, and the eyes seemed to watch him. He made the puppet’s arms, and they seemed to move. He made the puppet’s legs and feet, and he fancied that they were ready to dance. “I will call you Pinocchio.” 3 Suddenly, the puppet leapt off the bench, and ran away, laughing. “Pinocchio, come back!” Night came, and snow began to fall. Geppetto was still looking. 4 Finally Pinocchio returned to the old man’s workshop, laughing. “It is not so funny, my friend.” “Who are you?” © Ziptales Developing Literacy | Timeless Tales Ziptales Timeless Tales “I am your conscience. And I want to help you.” “Don’t be silly.’ ‘How could you possibly help me?” “By telling you what will happen if you do not learn to behave.” “Go on.” 5 “Boys who disobey their parents come to no good.” “Nonsense, I want to have fun. No one can tell me what to do!” “Do as the old man says, for he loves you. Go to school. Be good. And then one day you may become a real boy.” “Go away!” 6 Then he settled down by the fire, and fell fast asleep.

  • Study Guide Pinocchio
    Study guide Pinocchio A Word from The Director Table of Contents If the story of this little puppet seems timeless, that is because it is about much more than just his nose that grows longer whenever he tells a lie. Pinocchio is one of the most beautiful representations of mankind, with About the Show – Page 1 all its faults and shortcomings but also its most touching and noble aspects. Theatre Conventions – Page 2 Collodi did not want to relate the feats of princes and princesses, rather he decided to tell the life of someone who was born at the very bottom of About the Company – Page 3 the social ladder, at the lowest rung imaginable: that of a “common block of firewood, one of those thick, solid logs that are put on the fire in Before the Show Ideas – winter”. Pinocchio is a story about the growth of a tiny being who has the Page 4 misfortune of being born into a difficult environment and who will learn, through the many hardships of life, to become what he has always Lesson 1: Human Puppet dreamt of becoming: a real boy, a good son, a righteous man. Show - Page 5 And this is a much-needed story in this dark and cynical time wh en Lesson 2: Pinocchio, Part II – descendants of the Fox and the Cat are making headlines on a daily Page 7 basis.

  • The Pinocchio Syndrome
    Ben Palpant Article Title: The Pinocchio Syndrome ___________________________________________________________________________________ The Pinocchio Syndrome Pinocchio, the witless. Pinocchio, the mischievous. Pinocchio, the sometimes brave. No sooner had Geppetto finished carving Pinocchio's legs and taught him to walk than the marionette bounced off the table and scampered out the door. With spindle legs and great flopping arms, Pinocchio gamboled off in search of adventure and fresh air. Accused of hating children because little Pinocchio ran off, Geppetto was imprisoned. When poor Pinocchio wandered back home, he found himself poorer than he thought: no Geppetto. He scavenged for food and found, instead, a talking cricket. The candid cricket said that a disobedient boy will become nothing more than an ass. The wisdom of Solomon. Petulant Pinocchio wanted nothing to do with such a kill-joy. He promptly hurled a hammer at the cricket and mashed it into a discolored pile of juice. “What?!” you cry. I know, Disney forgot that part. So Pinocchio wandered into the street, begging for food. Poor Pinocchio. The neighbor, still reeling from a bad day, was cranky and dumped a bucket of water on Pinocchio. Welcome to the world, pal. Pinocchio tried to warm himself on the stove, but fell asleep. When he awoke, his feet were burnt off: a symbol in more ways than one and a warning for the lad who would disobey his father. Geppetto was finally freed after clearing up the confusion. He built new feet for Pinocchio who promised to be good. In a thrall of good intention, Pinocchio promised to attend school and Geppetto sold his only coat to provide school books for Pinocchio.

  • Oceánide 6 2014 Humour in Pinocchio's Liberating
    Oceánide 6 2014 Fecha de recepción: 4 agosto 2013 Fecha de aceptación: 11 octubre 2013 Fecha de publicación: 10 febrero 2014 URL:http://oceanide.netne.net/articulos/art6-10.php Oceánide número 6, ISSN 1989-6328 Humour in Pinocchio’s Liberating Discursive Practice Alcina SOUSA (University of Madeira, Portugal) RESUMEN: Aunque Pinocho pueda representar de algún modo a la figura del héroe romántico, varios pasajes de este cuento infantil exploran en realidad los diversos usos retóricos del humor. Localizaciones hilarantes, personajes y situaciones contribuyen a crear una figura picaresca hasta el momento en el que éste (Collodi, 1883, Chap. 36) “finalmente deja de ser una marioneta para convertirse en una chiquillo de carne y hueso”. A pesar de apoyar esta investigación en un enfoque estilístico, el objetivo de este artículo consiste en debatir algunas técnicas lingüísticas frecuentes en la evocación del humor en este relato, fuente de comicidad manifiesta. En resumen, este relato retrata la emergencia de diversos significados que se difuminan entre sí, nuevos y antiguos, así percibidos a través de la interacción entre educación y poder, a la vez que narra un cuento que personifica temas tan relevantes como la identidad, la comicidad y la imaginación, la autenticidad o lo maravilloso. Para finalizar, la enriquecedora narración de Las Aventuras de Pinocho, a pesar de ser un texto muy popular entre los lectores más jóvenes, puede permitirse agradar a una audiencia más amplia, cruzando así los límites del tiempo, el espacio o la cultura. Palabras clave: humor, estilo, literatura infantil, dimensión intercultural ABSTRACT: Although Pinocchio might be said to stand for a sort of romantic hero, there are several passages exploring the various rhetorical uses of humour in his adventures.
