  • René Galand, Saint-John Perse, Poet of the Universal
    René Galand, Saint-John Perse, poet of the universal Saint-John Perse was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1960. Most of the French writers who have won this prize wrote in prose: Romain Rolland, Anatole France, Bergson, Roger Martin du Gard, Gide, Mauriac, Camus, Sartre, Claude Simon. Sartre declined the award: accepting it would have against all his principles. It would have meant condoning the use of literature to give legitimacy to capitalistic institutions. One must recall, however that the first Nobel Prize ever given to a French writer went to a poet: Sully-Prudhomme, who is remembered mostly for a sonnet which appeals mostly to sentimental young persons: “ Le Vase brisé ” [The broken vase]. From Sully-Prudhomme to Saint-John Perse: in the span od half a century, the literary taste of members of the Nobel Academy has remarkably advanced. Saint-John Perse, as is well know, is the pen-name of Alexis Saint-Leger Leger. From the moment when he reached a high rank in the diplomatic service, he felt he had to make a complete separation between his official personality and his literary activity. But why did he choose such an Anglo-Saxon sounding pseudonym? Different explanations have been suggested. It is possible that Alexis Leger, who believes in the prophetic power of poets, was thinking of Saint-John the Baptist whose voice was heard in the desert. Others have indicated that “Saint-John” might come from the American writer of French descent Saint-Jean de Crèvecoeur. Others still, considering the West Indian origins of the poet, have thought that it might allude to the Caribbean island of Saint-John, or that perhaps it could be the English translation of the name of San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico.

Language, the Uncanny, and the Shapes of History in Claude Simon's The Flanders Road Abstract Asking whether it is possible to read The Flanders Road both as text and as history the essay studies repetitions that structure the novel as they relate to historical events evoked therein, from the Revolution to the Algerian War. The tangled and looped itinerary of a cavalry retreat finds its analog in the narrative "line"; generic variations emerge when (hi)stories are told again and again; these, and even certain kinds of wordplay make the novel, and ultimately history, seem uncanny. But it is the novel's self-conscious strangeness, as it enfolds historical knowledge, that constitutes a commentary on how history is told and even how it is experienced.

  • The Narrative Turn in the French Novel of the 1970S
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Helsingin yliopiston digitaalinen arkisto The Narrative Turn in the French Novel of the 1970s Hanna Meretoja University of Turku One of the central aspects of the nouveau roman, the most important French literary movement of the 1950s and 1960s, was the way in which it questioned the idea of the novel as storytelling. The nouveaux romanciers, such as Alain Robbe-Grillet, Nathalie Sarraute and Claude Simon, wanted to bring forth the ideological question- ability of narrativity epitomized by what they called “Balzacian realism” – in terms of which, they felt, the novel as a genre was still viewed and assessed. However, after this period of radical problematization, a rehabilitation of storytelling is visible in the French novel of the 1970s – a shift that some scholars have characterized as the “return of the narrative” or as “re-narratization of the novel” (see e.g. Kibedi Varga 1988, 38; Gratton 1997, 248; cf. Davis & Fallaize 2000, 14–15). In my article, I would like to shed some light on this “narrative turn” by arguing that it can be seen as a turn towards a fundamentally hermeneutic view of the narrative mediatedness of our relation to the world. As my primary example I will use Michel Tournier who has been mentioned as a major representative of this turn (Kibedi Varga 1988, 38; Gratton 1997, 248) but whose precise contribution to it has not yet been examined. Problematization of Storytelling in the Nouveau Roman First, I will have a brief look at why the nouveaux romanciers rejected the idea of the novel as storytelling or as “narration of a succession of fictional events” (to use Rimmon-Kenan’s (1988, 2) definition of ‘narrative fiction’).

  • Translation, Littérisation, and the Nobel Prize for Literature
    TranscUlturAl, vol. 8.1 (2016), 57-75. http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/TC Translation, Littérisation, and the Nobel Prize for Literature Kelly Washbourne Kent State University, USA As I proceed, I will from time to time indicate to you where we are in the manuscript. That way you won’t lose the thread. This will be of help especially to those of you who don’t understand either Italian or Swedish. English speakers will have a tremendous advantage over the rest because they will imagine things I’ve neither said nor thought. There is of course the problem of the two laughters: those who understand Italian will laugh immediately, those who don’t will have to wait for [the] Swedish translation. And then there are those of you who won’t know whether to laugh the first time or the second. Dario Fo, Nobel Lecture (Fo 130) Writers create national literature with their language, but world literature is written by translators. José Saramago (Appel 40) Introduction Translation is quite often a precondition for the Nobel Prize in Literature, to the extent that the canonization of a world-class writer can entail in part the canonization of his or her extant translations. One critic inscribes Mo Yan’s 2012 win in a network of “collaborators,” a process true of most writers working outside global literary languages: “[H]is prize winning is a success of collaboration with the author as the nodal point amid a necessary global network of cosmopolitanites, including translators, publishers, nominators, readers, [and] the media...” (Wang 178).
