Atherton Swift: a Paradigm of a God Jonathan Swift 6 ‘The influence of Swift on Joyce,’ wrote L. A. G. Strong, ‘goes beyond likeness and coincidence. It is assimilated into the fabric of the mind. The little language of the Journal to Stella contributed to the vocabulary of Finnegans Wake, but the allusions to Swift’s life are deeply woven into the book’s texture.’1 Edmund Wilson has made almost the same comment,2 while Harry Levin says that the ‘great prose master of Dublin who has left his mark on nearly every page of Joyce’s book. Swift … likewise presides over the mythology of Finnegans Wake. He oscillates back and forth between the “sosie sesthers”, Stella and Vanessa. His unmistakable voice breaks in when we least expect it nagging Esther Johnson in as high a key as Yeats’s Words upon the Windowpane. His pet name for her, “Ppt”, is the father’s name for his daughter, and the girl’s for her doll. … Joyce’s mouthpiece, Shem, is clearly to be identified with Swift: the two are consubstantial in “Mr. O’Shem the Draper”. And the Dean of St. Patrick’s is a model as well as a theme. We have only to recall the puns, jingles, and pastiches that interlard his miscellanies, the conscientiously recorded clichés of Polite Conversation, the “little language” of the Journal to Stella, or the letter to Dr. Sheridan that looks like English and reads like Latin.’3 Indeed almost every writer who has dealt at any length with Finnegans Wake has commented on the frequent allusions to Swift it contains. But Professor Levin is the only one who has come near to explaining the use which Joyce has made of Swift’s complex character. In the passage which has just been quoted he states that ‘Shem is clearly to be identified with Swift’. This is certainly true, but it is only a part of the truth. There are three main characters in Finnegans Wake: H.C.E. and his two sons, Shem and Shaun. Swift is identified with all three. As Draper he is Shem, the writer of Swift’s Drapier Letters transmuted to The Crazier Letters (104.14); as the Dean he is Shaun; and as himself he is H.C.E. This mystery of three persons is deliberately contrived to provide this level in the Wake, and this era in our history, with a properly constructed deity. Jonathan has become ‘Trinathan’ (478.26). 1 L. A. G. Strong, The Sacred River, pp. 76-7. 2 Edmund Wilson, The Woman and the Bow. See Bibliography. 3 Harry Jones, James Joyce, p. 117. Jonathan Swift 7 Obviously he is ‘Shaunathaun’ (462.8), and Shaun, speaking of Shem’s ‘prentis pride’ (422.20), says ‘Well it is partly my own, isn’t it?’ and takes, to illustrate this, ‘a hearty bite out of … his hat, tryone, tryon and triune’ (422.23). The most unmistakable equation of Shaun with Swift as the Dean is in the speech to which the Ass replies ‘Hopsoloosely kidding you are totether with your cadenus. … Two venusstas! Biggerstiff! … Otherwise, frank Shaun, we pursued …’ (413.27). In this speech, Shaun uses Swift’s ‘little language’ from the Journal to Stella; ‘two little ptpt coolies worth twenty thousand quad herewitdnessed with both’s maddlemass wishes to Pepette … from their dearly beloved Roggers, M.D.D.

At the time of writing, Joyce was taking a much-needed break in Denmark and four-year-old Stephen was staying at the Villa des Roses in Menthon-St-Bernard.

  • Processes and Strategies of Translating Joyce: Stephen Hero As a Case in Point
    Processes and Strategies of Translating Joyce: Stephen Hero as a Case in Point José Roberto O’Shea Abstract: This essay was read by the author as the second Maria Helena Kopschitz Annual Lecture, delivered at The University College, Dublin, James Joyce Centre, on 25 February 2016. The piece starts from an overview of Joyce’s translations in Brazil and proceeds to draw on thoughts stemming from the author’s own experience translating James Joyce’s fiction, especially Dubliners and Stephen Hero into Brazilian Portuguese. Keywords: James Joyce; Stephen Hero; translation in Brazil. First of all, I wish to thank very much The University College Dublin James Joyce Centre, as well as Professors Anne Fogarty and Margaret Kelleher, for honoring me with the invitation to speak here at UCD to mark both the centenary of the publication of James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and the 2016 Maria Helena Kopschitz Annual Lecture. I am especially grateful that Anne and Margaret have offered me the opportunity to discuss my own work, when they kindly suggested that I speak about my translations in general and about Stephen Hero in particular. And I am honored to mark Professor Kopschitz’s second Annual Lecture. The first time I heard about Maria Helena was back in 1985, when my PhD supervisor at the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill, Professor George Lensing, in our very first meeting, told me Maria Helena had taught him in the late 1960s, when he was a Peace Corps volunteer in Niterói, a city across the bay from Rio de Janeiro, and that she had been instrumental in his decision to teach literature.

  • Aldous Huxley's Children's Tale “The Crows of Pearblossom”
    Iulian Boldea (Editor) - Literature, Discourses and the Power of Multicultural Dialogue Arhipelag XXI Press, Tîrgu Mureș, 2017. eISBN: 978-606-8624-12-9 ALDOUS HUXLEY’S CHILDREN’S TALE “THE CROWS OF PEARBLOSSOM” Daniela Hăisan Lecturer, PhD, ”Ștefan cel Mare” University of Suceava Abstract: Aldous Huxleyřs Childrenřs Tale ŖThe Crows of Pearblossomŗ / ŖCiorile din Pearblossomŗ offers a comparative glimpse at Aldous Huxleyřs only childrenřs tale, written Christmas of 1944 specifically for his niece, Olivia de Haulleville, and its 2016 Romanian edition. Based on some recent works on childrenřs literature in translation (OřSullivan, 2005; Lathey, 2010; Nikolajeva, 2011; Hunt, 2014 etc.), the analysis carried out on the Romanian version of Huxleyřs text follows several key aspects in the field (e.g. varying degrees of adaptation, intensification, translatorřs voice, colloquialism etc.). Keywords: childrenřs literature, translation, adaptation, intensification, colloquialism. Childrenřs literature, as a (marginal as yet) segment of literature at large, is intrinsically hybrid as it comprises works from highly heterogeneous sources. Many books for children are actually crossover books, i.e. adaptations of works from adult literature (see Robinson Crusoe, Gulliverřs Travels, Don Quixote etc.); others recycle traditional narratives often originating in oral stories (see Perraultřs, Grimmřs or Andersenřs celebrated collections of fairy-tales); others, still, areworks of literature written specifically for children, or for children as well as adults (hence the genreřs intrinsic duality). The common denominator of all sources, no matter how far apart, is obviously the audience: The true defining feature of childrenřs literature is [...] its audience: childrenřs literature is indeed literature for children. (OřSullivan, 2010: 4) I see childrenřs literature as literatureread silently by children and aloud to children.

  • THE UNCOORDINATED PUBLIC Domaini
    SPOO ARTICLE (Do Not Delete) 1/18/2017 12:55 PM THE UNCOORDINATED PUBLIC DOMAINi ROBERT SPOO* When nations amend their copyright laws in response to calls for international harmonization, they usually expand authors’ rights without also seeking to harmonize national public domains. Divergent national copyright laws have resulted in an uncoordinated global public domain that renders authors’ works freely available for use in some countries while subjecting them to copyright or moral-rights protection in others. While the fragmented global commons thwarts many valuable uses of cultural resources, it has especially deleterious effects on the ability of researchers to access, copy, and disseminate historical and literary materials, many of which remain unpublished. These effects are mirrored and exacerbated by the inconsistent policies of cultural repositories that control access to millions of documents and images. The uncoordinated public domain shares certain features—notably, fragmented ownership and resource underuse—with an anticommons. This Article offers a theoretical framework for understanding the uncoordinated public domain, and illustrates the tragic inefficiencies of this patchwork commons by discussing its impact on a number of research and publishing projects involving modern authors—in particular, James Joyce. A balanced solution to the checkerboard effects of the commons would be to employ a treaty-based system of compulsory licenses to harmonize national public domains and to coordinate the legal conditions whereby the world’s vast informational resources could be globally disseminated by researchers and other users. i Permission is hereby granted for noncommercial reproduction of this Article in whole or in part for education or research purposes, including the making of multiple copies for classroom use, subject only to the condition that the name of the author, a complete citation, and this copyright notice and grant of permission be included in all copies.

James Joyces texter anses viktiga för förståelsen av irländska barndomar, och Joyces skildringar av barndom har oftast setts som oföränderliga vad gäller den övergripande tematiken fram till att distinktionen mellan vuxna och barn bryts ner i Finnegans Wake. Det har emellertid inte gjorts några omfattande studier av barn och barndom i Joyces verk. Det finns en etablerad uppfattning bland forskare att det fiktiva barnet i Joyces texter är en historisk artefakt inom den Joyciska estetiken, samtidigt har endast begränsade studier gjorts inom ämnet i verk daterade efter Ett porträtt av författaren som ung.

  • Place and Space in English Modernist Children's Literature and Its French Translations Barai, Aneesh
    Modernist Repositionings of Rousseau's Ideal Childhood: Place and Space in English Modernist Children's Literature and Its French Translations Barai, Aneesh For additional information about this publication click this link. http://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/jspui/handle/123456789/7903 Information about this research object was correct at the time of download; we occasionally make corrections to records, please therefore check the published record when citing. For more information contact [email protected] 1 Modernist Repositionings of Rousseau‘s Ideal Childhood: Place and Space in English Modernist Children‘s Literature and Its French Translations Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Aneesh Barai Queen Mary, University of London 2 Abstract It is a little-known fact that several modernists wrote for children: this project will focus on T. S. Eliot‘s Old Possum‟s Book of Practical Cats, James Joyce‘s The Cat and the Devil, Gertrude Stein‘s The World is Round and Virginia Woolf‘s Nurse Lugton‟s Curtain. While not often thought of as a modernist, I contend that Walter de la Mare‘s short stories for children, especially The Lord Fish, take part in this corpus of modernist texts for children. These children‘s stories, while scarcely represented in critical circles, have enjoyed a wide popular audience and have all been translated into French. Modernism is often considered an elitist movement, but these texts can contribute to its reassessment, as they suggest an effort towards inclusivity of audience. The translation of children‘s literature is a relatively new field of study, which builds from descriptive translation studies with what is unique to children‘s literature: its relation to pedagogy and consequent censorship or other tailoring to local knowledge; frequently, the importance of images; the dual audience that many children‘s books have in relating to the adults who will select, buy and potentially perform the texts; and what Puurtinen calls ‗read- aloud-ability‘ for many texts.

  • REVERT to TYPE Jorge Méndez Blake | Stefan Brüggeman | Pia Camil | Idris Khan | Rirkrit Tiravanija
    REVERT TO TYPE Jorge Méndez Blake | Stefan Brüggeman | Pia Camil | Idris Khan | Rirkrit Tiravanija Galerie Fabian Lang is pleased to present ‘revert to type’, a two-part exhibition (5.12.2020 – 15.02.2021). One developed on a virtual platform, and one at the gallery, using the same artworks as two different curatorial interpretations. The gallery in Zurich will display the physical works from the incredible list of international artists on show. The virtual interpretation will be online at www.fabianlang.ch where you are invited to journey through a fictional space in a landscape we have created exclusively for the exhibition. All words are created equal, but some are more equal than others! These five artists have found masterful ways of combining word play, texts and images. Conceptual rigours coalesce to create often bold and pertinent bodies of work focusing on themes of appropriation, displacement, identity and relationships. Through their commentary on our history and current time, the show is rooted in the philosophy and power of language as image and image as language. The artists’ text images leave the viewer in the dark as to whether they are reading or seeing, for such is the power of the word in art. The works are often ironic, provocative, acerbic and seek to use language to expose, antagonize and flirt with today’s realities. What a difference a letter can make in Pia Camil’s We Will Dye For You. A play on words and a reflection of a scaffolded house and a skip in a window of a dry-cleaning store.
