The examples of allegory are extracted from bilingual articles written by the professional author-translator Diana Moukalled, namely her opinion articles which are The ."انششق اﻷٔسط" published in the Arabic London-based online newspaper study comprises five chapters. Chapter one serves as an introduction. Chapter two explores the historical perspective of the concept of allegory. Furthermore, this chapter discusses the types of allegory and examines the concepts which are essentially related to it. Chapter three presents allegory’s role in political discourse and deals with the translator’s structural integration of componential analysis in the process of transferring the allegorical sense of political ideas. Chapter four involves discussing and analyzing selected examples that bear an allegorical sense based on componential analysis of their allegorical components which reflects the magnitude of transference of these components whether full, partial or none. Also, this chapter reveals that the transference strategies, namely the strategy of full transference, the strategy of partial transference and the strategy of zero transference, are mainly governed by the major political substratum which surrounds the bilingual articles manifested by means of the processes of monitoring, managing and censoring. Chapter five presents the conclusions, findings and recommendations. The findings show that to some extent partial transference is the most attainable due to linguistic and cultural discrepancies between the ST and the TT. Also, the study reveals that allegory reflects native speakers’ value judgments and conceptual frames of reference; therefore, rendering allegorical sense opens up dialogue between different cultures and potentially spares them political, ideological and cultural misconception resulting from mis-transferring allegory. vii المستخلص ذؼانج انذساسح انحانٍح َقم يؼُى انًجاص انشيضي يٍ انُض اﻷطهً انى انُض انًرشجى فً انخطاب انسٍاسً انؼًاطش. ٔقذ اسرخهظد أيصهح انًجاص انشيضي يٍ يقاﻻخ شُائٍح انهغح كرثرٓا انكاذثح-انًرشجًح انًخضشيح دٌاَا يقهذ ًْٔ يقاﻻخ سأي ذُششْا طحٍفح انششق اﻷٔسط اﻻنكرشٍَٔح انرً ذظذس فً نُذٌ. ٔذضى ْزِ انشسانح خًسح فظٕل. ؼٌرثش انفظم اﻷٔل ْٕ تًصاتح انًقذيح نهذساسح، ؼٌٔشع انفظم انصاًَ انًُظٕس انراسٌخً نًفٕٓو انًجاص انشيضي ٔفضﻻ ػٍ رنك ٌُاقش ْزا انفظم إَٔاع انًجاص انشيضي ٌٔثحس فً انًفاٍْى انًشذثطح تّ اسذثاطا أساسٍا. أيا انفظم انصانس فؼٍشع انذٔس انزي ٌهؼثّ انًجاص انشيضي فً انخطاب انسٍاسً ٌٔرُأل قذسج انًرشجى ػهى اﻻسرفادج يٍ َظشٌح ذحهٍم انًكَٕاخ انذﻻنٍح فً ػًهٍح َقم يؼُى انًجاص انشيضي نﻻفكاس انسٍاسٍح. ٌٔرطشق انفظم انشاتغ انى يُاقشح أيصهح يخراسج ذحًم يؼُى انًجاص انشيضي ٔذحهٍم يكَٕاذٓا انذﻻنٍح راخ انظهح تانًجاص تشكم ؼٌكس حجى اَرقال ْزِ انًكَٕاخ سٕاء كاٌ رنك تشكم كهً أٔ جضئً أٔ

    Socialist Fairy Tales, Fables, and Allegories from Great Britain

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. ■ Introduction In 1974, I visited the mining area of South Wales to make a short educational radio programme about the nationalization of the mines, which took place under the Labour government of 1945– 50. One miner and political activist, Chris Evans, gave me a long interview ranging across the history of locality, mining, work, and his hopes for a socialist future. In describing the nature of life and work, he moved into recitation mode and said: I go to work, to earn money to buy bread to build up my strength, to go to work to earn money to buy bread to build up my strength to go to work . We laughed wryly. I enjoyed the way in which he had reduced the whole cycle of life and work into one rhythmic account. In literary terms, it turns the intricate interactions of existence into emblems, single vignettes that flow one to the other, contrasting with each other. It is, then, a particular kind of storytelling used with the in- tent of revealing or alerting a reader or listener to what the speaker thinks is an unsatisfactory state of affairs. The fact that the story doesn’t end with a conclusion hits the button because through its never- ending form (rather than through words themselves) it re- veals the folly, drudgery, and wrongness of what is being critiqued. 1 For general queries, contact [email protected] © Copyright, Princeton University Press.
  • Alternate History – Alternate Memory: Counterfactual Literature in the Context of German Normalization

    Alternate History – Alternate Memory: Counterfactual Literature in the Context of German Normalization

    ALTERNATE HISTORY – ALTERNATE MEMORY: COUNTERFACTUAL LITERATURE IN THE CONTEXT OF GERMAN NORMALIZATION by GUIDO SCHENKEL M.A., Freie Universität Berlin, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (German Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2012 © Guido Schenkel, 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines a variety of Alternate Histories of the Third Reich from the perspective of memory theory. The term ‘Alternate History’ describes a genre of literature that presents fictional accounts of historical developments which deviate from the known course of hi story. These allohistorical narratives are inherently presentist, meaning that their central question of “What If?” can harness the repertoire of collective memory in order to act as both a reflection of and a commentary on contemporary social and political conditions. Moreover, Alternate Histories can act as a form of counter-memory insofar as the counterfactual mode can be used to highlight marginalized historical events. This study investigates a specific manifestation of this process. Contrasted with American and British examples, the primary focus is the analysis of the discursive functions of German-language counterfactual literature in the context of German normalization. The category of normalization connects a variety of commemorative trends in postwar Germany aimed at overcoming the legacy of National Socialism and re-formulating a positive German national identity. The central hypothesis is that Alternate Histories can perform a unique task in this particular discursive setting. In the context of German normalization, counterfactual stories of the history of the Third Reich are capable of functioning as alternate memories, meaning that they effectively replace the memory of real events with fantasies that are better suited to serve as exculpatory narratives for the German collective.

    From an American Plantation to Interwar Poland: How Uncle Remus Became Bam-Bo the Negro

    Przekładaniec. A Journal of Literary Translation 22–23 (2009/2010): 147–159 doi:10.4467/16891864ePC.13.007.0861 PioTr BluMczyński Joanna Woźniczak FROM AN AMERICAN PLANTATION TO INTERWAR POLAND: HOW UNCLE REMUS BECAME BAM-BO THE NEGRO Abstract: This article opens with the introduction of Joel Chandler Harris and his literary output. As one of “local colourists,” Harris depicted American plantation life in 19th-century Georgia and included many cultural as well as folk elements in his works. The following analysis of his stories about Uncle Remus focuses on (1) the levels of narration; (2) the linguistic complexity of the text (the stories abound in slang and dialectal expressions); (3) the form; and (4) the folklore value. These four aspects guide the discussion of the only Polish translation of the Uncle Remus stories. Prepared by Władysława Wielińska in 1929, it was addressed to children. Therefore, the article aims to determine the profile of the translation as a children’s book, to consider it in relation to the skopos of the source text and to establish the extent to which it preserved the peculiar character of the Uncle Remus stories. Keywords: folktale, dialect, Joel Chandler Harris, Uncle Remus, local colour Joel Chandler Harris (1848–1908) belongs to American “local colourists” (cf. Norton Anthology of American Literature 1994: 7–8). This metaphor, drawing on the analogy to genre painters, seems very fitting as a description of his literary output. Though Harris was a journalist, satirist and poet, he rose to fame as the author of the Uncle Remus stories. The first story was published in 1876 in Atlanta Constitution, others soon followed and in 1881 Harris, encouraged by their enthusiastic reception (countless reprints in mag- azines across the country) and literally compelled by his readers,1 published 1 Harris received more than a thousand requests for a collection of tales (see http://www.

    ELEMENTS of FICTION – NARRATOR / NARRATIVE VOICE Fundamental Literary Terms That Indentify Components of Narratives “Fiction

    Dr. Hallett ELEMENTS OF FICTION – NARRATOR / NARRATIVE VOICE Fundamental Literary Terms that Indentify Components of Narratives “Fiction” is defined as any imaginative re-creation of life in prose narrative form. All fiction is a falsehood of sorts because it relates events that never actually happened to people (characters) who never existed, at least not in the manner portrayed in the stories. However, fiction writers aim at creating “legitimate untruths,” since they seek to demonstrate meaningful insights into the human condition. Therefore, fiction is “untrue” in the absolute sense, but true in the universal sense. Critical Thinking – analysis of any work of literature – requires a thorough investigation of the “who, where, when, what, why, etc.” of the work. Narrator / Narrative Voice Guiding Question: Who is telling the story? …What is the … Narrative Point of View is the perspective from which the events in the story are observed and recounted. To determine the point of view, identify who is telling the story, that is, the viewer through whose eyes the readers see the action (the narrator). Consider these aspects: A. Pronoun p-o-v: First (I, We)/Second (You)/Third Person narrator (He, She, It, They] B. Narrator’s degree of Omniscience [Full, Limited, Partial, None]* C. Narrator’s degree of Objectivity [Complete, None, Some (Editorial?), Ironic]* D. Narrator’s “Un/Reliability” * The Third Person (therefore, apparently Objective) Totally Omniscient (fly-on-the-wall) Narrator is the classic narrative point of view through which a disembodied narrative voice (not that of a participant in the events) knows everything (omniscient) recounts the events, introduces the characters, reports dialogue and thoughts, and all details.
