Samoskrivljen povratak u djetinjstvo

Author(s): Aleksandar Mijatović / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 2/2014

The paper compares two Foucault’s commentaries on Kant’s 1784 essay “Answering the Question: What is Enlightenment?” (Beantwortung der Frage: Was ist Aufklarung?): one concerns Foucault’s 1982-1983 lecture “The Government of Self and Others” (Gouvernement de soi et des autres), and the other his 1984 essay “What is Enlightenment?” (Qu’est-ce que les Lumieres?). Starting with a thesis that Baudelaire connects modernity (la modernite) with the experience of childhood, Foucault in his argument distinguishes between childhood, on the one hand, and immaturity or nonage (Unmundigkeit), on the other. Accordingly, enlightenment (Aufklarung), as the emergence from nonage, refers to the ability not to be governed (freedom), and not to the ability to govern (power). Hence, to emerge from nonage is at the same time the ability of the self-imposed return to childhood. This ability for intentional infantilism is connected with the concept of modernity as an attitude. The paper further juxtaposes and discusses Foucault’s modernity as an attitude and modernity as an event from his lecture “The Government of Self and Others”.

MÉTAPHORE GRAMMATICALE ET GÉOMETRIE IMAGINAIRE DU TEMPS EN FRANÇAIS ET EN ESPAGNOL

Author(s): Antonio Pamies Bertrán / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2019

French and Spanish possess many figurative expressions of TIME, which are conceptual mappings from the source domain of SPACE. These metaphors fit into more general models described by cognitive linguistics for other languages (e.g., Lakoff and Turner 1989; Lakoff 1993; Haspelmath 1997; Yu 1998; Radden 2011). Two main theoretical approaches can be distinguished in the treatment of this conceptual metaphor: those based on universalistic apriorisms and those based on empirical studies. While the former tend to extrapolate from English, reducing this mechanism to two or three basic "natural" models (e.g., Lakoff 1993), the latter rely on "exotic" languages, whose data are more complex and often contradict theoretical (speculative) principles. This contrastive work analyzes several associative models in two widely spoken Romance languages, within the general frame of the <SPACE TO TIME> conceptual metaphor, in order to bring out additional data and arguments related with this issue.

Kierkegaardův rytíř víry a jeho obraz v románech počátku 20. století

Author(s): Andrea Raušerová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 3/2020

Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling analyses the biblical figure of Abraham, who was supposed to sacrifice his son Isaac, an act he calls “a knight of faith’ s conduct”. As other authors add, there are different aspects of behaviour – order, decision, jump, sacrifice and silence. We have borrowed the concept and applied it to two novels: Troje paměti Víta Choráze (The Three Memoirs of Vít Choráz) by Julius Zeyer and Hécate by Pierre Jean Jouve. Both transform this concept but show this knight of faith according to the abovementioned attributes as well.

Skúsenosť lásky a jej diskurz: Marionova fenomenológia a mystika

Author(s): Martin Vašek / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2020

The aim of this article is to approach the proximity of Jean-Luc Marion’s phenomenology to mysticism. Marion’s transcendence to mysticism can be seen in two directions: in the interpretation of Dionysius the Areopagite’s work, and in the understanding of saturated phenomena. Marion claims that Dionysius the Areopagite indicates a new pragmatic function of language, targeting God who overcomes all the names. The discourse of hymn and praise of God does not lie in predicting attributes (positive or negative). It is not a masked prediction, but it is outside the dual framework of true and false. Marion also believes that man, as an image of God, is not equal to his icon. His reflections can be understood and interpreted in such a way that two incomprehensible and loving beings come together in the encounter of God and man. Here we can see the first condition, assumption and the very possibility of mysticism as such. The intersections of phenomenology and literature are obvious, but phenomenology still remains both an invitation and a challenge for literary theory.

Porównanie strategii translatorskich w polskich przekładach wybranych komiksów z serii Asteriks

Author(s): Joanna Kierska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2019

The aim of the article is to compare the translation strategies used by Jolanta Sztuczyńska and Jarosław Kilian in Polish translations of the same ten volumes of the comic series Asterix by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. The most difficult task faced by Sztuczyńska and Kilian was translating the humorous elements of the books, both these addressed to the child reader and those appealing to the adult. The differences between their methods of translation are visible, above all, in the translations of proper names, dialects, texts embedded in the picture, citations, lyrics, and other content that includes cultural and linguistic allusions.

Od Verne’a do Tulleta. Sto lat obecności francuskiej literatury dla dzieci i młodzieży na polskim rynku książki

Author(s): Joanna Frużyńska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2019

Paprocka, N. (2018). Bibliografia polskich przekładów i adaptacji francuskiej literatury dla dzieci i młodzieży wydanych w latach 1918–2014. Kraków: TAiWPN Universitas. Paprocka, N. (2018). Sto lat przekładów dla dzieci i młodzieży w Polsce. Francuska literatura dla młodych czytelników, jej polscy wydawcy i ich strategie (1918–2014). Kraków: TAiWPN Universitas. This review article discusses two books by Natalia Paprocka (2018): Bibliografia polskich przekładów i adaptacji francuskiej literatury dla dzieci i młodzieży wydanych w latach 1918–2014 [Bibliography of Polish Translations and Adaptations of French Literature for Children and Youth Published in the Years 1918–2014] and Sto lat przekładów dla dzieci i młodzieży w Polsce. Francuska literatura dla młodych czytelników, jej polscy wydawcy i ich strategie (1918–2014) [A Hundred Years of Translations for Children and Youth in Poland: French Literature for Young Readers, its Polish Publishers and Their Strategies (1918–2014)], which belong to the field of children’s literature translation studies, bibliology, and sociology of art. The article describes the arrangement of the bibliography of Polish translations of French literature for children and young adults compiled by Natalia Paprocka and it summarises the most important assumptions of her research: she applied the concept of the literary field of Pierre Bourdieu, the notions of import/transfer and culture repertoire as understood by Itamar Even-Zohar, and Bruno Latour’s actor-network theory. According to the researcher, throughout the entire century, Polish publishers chose the strategies of re-releases of the classics, which significantly reduced the transfer of innovative phenomena of French children’s culture.

ZWISCHEN ERINNERUNG UND FIKTION: LITERATURSKANDAL 1995 UM BINJAMIN WILKOMIRSKIS BUCH BRUCHSTÜCKE. AUS EINER KINDHEIT (1939–1948)

Author(s): Siniša Vučenović / Language(s): German Issue: 70/2019

Der Begriff Vergangenheitsbewältigung2 ist eines der wichtigsten Forschungsthemen in Deutsch- land, das sich zur Aufgabe stellt, den Umgang mit der deutschen Vergangenheit des 20. Jahr- hunderts zu erforschen. Dabei wird der Begriff namentlich in Verbindung mit der Aufarbeitung der nationalsozialistischen Vergangenheit gebracht und ist somit insbesondere seit den 60er Jahren3 als einer der zentralen Begriffe in die öffentlichen Debatten gerückt. Ein wichtiger Forschungsaspekt stellt die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Holocaust4 an den europäischen Ju- den und die damit verbundenen nationalsozialistischen Verbrechen dar, dem, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die noch wenigen Zeitzeugen, besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird. Unter diesem Gesichtspunkt will der Artikel die Schwierigkeiten bei der literarischen Aufarbeitung der NS-Vergangenheit durch die Zeitzeugen5 exemplarisch behandeln. Das Augenmerk liegt dabei auf dem Verhältnis zwischen dem Erinnern und Fiktion. Als Basistext dient dabei das 1995 beim Suhrkamp Verlag veröffentlichte Buch Bruchstücke. Aus einer Kindheit 1939–1948.

FREI LUÍS DE SOUSA D’ALMEIDA GARRETT. POUR UNE APPROCHE PRAGMATIQUE DU TEXTE DRAMATIQUE

Author(s): Vlad Dobroiu / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2020

Frei Luís de Sousa by Almeida Garrett: a pragmatic analysis of the theatre dialogue. In this article, we analyse, from a pragmatic point of view, the dialogue of the play Frei Luís de Sousa by Almeida Garrett and its translation made by Maxime Formont at the beginning of the 20th century and published in Livourne. We focus on the strategies used by the participants in the theatre discourse in order to consolidate and sometimes even to renegotiate their interpersonal relationship. Our main interest concerns the use of nouns and pronouns in the 1st Act. For a better understanding of the socio-historical context of this play, we propose a short introduction to the 19th century, in Portugal. We also present and analyse some important para-textual pieces of information that accompany the translation made by Maxime Formont.

Camus i francusko imperijalno iskustvo

Author(s): Edward Said / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 25/2020

Nisu sve imperije bile iste. Francuski imperij, kao što kažejedan od njegovih najslavnijih povjesničara, premda je kao i britanski bio usmjeren na profit, plantaže i robove, pokretao je »prestiž«. Njegovim raznim područjima stjecanim (i katkad izgubljenim) tijekom tri stoljeća upravljao je blistavi »genij«, koji je kao takav određena funkcija Francuske »vocation superieure«, kao što su rekli Delavigne i Charles Andre Julien, autori fascinantnog djela, Les Constructeurs de la France d’outre-mer. Njihov popis likova započinje sa Champlainom i Richelieuom i obuhvaća zastrašujuće prokonzule kao što je Bugeaud, osvajač Alžira, Brazza, čovjek koji je osnovao Francuski Kongo, Gallieni, koji je pokorio Madagaskar i Lyautey, uz Cromera, najveći europski vladar nad muslimanskim Arapima. U tom golemom asimilacijskom pothvatu naslućuje se određena podudarnost sa britanskim »upravnim shvaćanjem«, ali daleko više osobni stil Francuza.

La poétique de la simplicité et le sens philosophique de la providence divine dans le récit La Jeune Sibérienne de Xavier de Maistre

Author(s): Łukasz Świercz / Language(s): French Issue: 12/2018

The article aims to present and analyse main problems of the novel of Xavier de Maistre La jeune sibérienne. Four main questions are taken under consideration: the poetics of the novel, relations between the philosophy of Joseph de Maistre – brother of Xavier – and the novel in question, problem of sentimentalism in La jeune sibérienne, and the category of simplicity in the text. The novel of Xavier de Maistre is compared to Sophie de Cottin’s fiction, presenting the same story in a more sophisticated way. The article also presents the theological and philosophical problems posed by the text, most of all the question of the providence and grace divine.

Metamorfozy Pigmaliona: przekład w serii transformacji tekstu archetypu (Rousseau, Baudouin, Węgierski)

Author(s): Michał Bajer / Language(s): Polish Issue: 11/2020

The article touches upon new threads as regards the Polish reception of J.J. Rousseau’s melodrama Pygmalion so as to settle a few debatable issues. For that purpose, the author ventures to study a broader array of source texts: apart from the well-known translation by T.K. Węgierski, J. Baudouin’s prose rendering and the French edition of the work published by Piotr Dufour are also discussed. This allows both for the formulation of a number of hypotheses on the influence of particular French editions on the translated versions of Rousseau’s work (e.g. making redundant a number of stage directions, planning to create a prospective bilingual edition) and ascertaining the exact sources of Węgierski’s adaptation; a difficult task, given the traditional dichotomy between the original and its translation. Approaching the translation as but a hub on the way towards the target text seems promising though, the more so that such an approach has already been tested with regard to the French culture. Considering the above, Rousseau’s Pygmalion should not be viewed merely as a source text, but rather a textual archetype evolving in course of its reception, both in France and in Europe.

Le noble, le serf et le révizor: Daniel Beauvois w Bibliotece „Kultury”

Author(s): Anna M. Brzezińska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 12/2020

This article presents the person of Daniel Beavois – a distinguished student of the Polish-Russian-Ukrainian relations in the post-partitioned era – and his contacts with the editors of the Paris ‘Kultura’. The author’s concern is also with the question of how Beavois’ work on the Polish nobility in Ukraine in the years 1831–63 was received among Polish post-war exiles, and with Beavois’ postcolonial diagnosis that emerged on the margins of his research and concerned the tensions to which Polish national identity was subject in Poland’s old eastern borderland (the so-called Kresy).

Edukacja społeczna w pisarstwie François Mauriaca na podstawie powieści Le Noeud de vipères i Le Sagouin

Author(s): Beata Kędzia-Klebeko / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2020

Upbringing within the family and the family itself are of crucial importance for the proper functioning of communities and entire nations. The reproduction of negative behavioural patterns perpetuates a perception of reality acquired over generations. This can lead to the destruction of the entity and communities. The aim of this article is to present the thoughts of F. Mauriac, a French Catholic writer of the post-war period. In his novels, Mauriac revealed threats to the individual that come from rejecting friendship towards the world and people. In the pages of many of his novels, Mauriac traces the fates of French families. He shows their dramatic entanglements, stemming from concentration on illusions of their own beliefs about happiness. The subject of analysis in this article are two selected novels, Le Noeud de vipères, known to the Polish reader as The Viper’s Den, and Le Sagouin, which is not yet translated into Polish. The first part of the article presents the relationships between literature and social life as seen from the socio-literary perspective, while the second presents Mauriac’s understanding of his literary commitments and his commitment to Catholic culture. It aims to show readers the barrenness of existence of anyone who disregards the concept of love in interpersonal relations. The following parts present the problems of institutional and family education raised by Mauriac and highlight his understanding of the responsibility incumbent upon parents and teachers for the fate of the younger generation. This generation, in the long run, determines the fate of social civilisation in the broad sense of the term. Responsibility for the other, in the spirit of empathy, turns out to be the key slogan for everyone’s actions.

Фатима Риза-Заде (Сайях), исследовательница Достоевского

Author(s): Zeinab Sadeghi Sahlabad,Oksana A. Kravchenko,Alina A. Shuldishova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 4/2021

The article is devoted to the biography of the Soviet-Iranian researcher F. Riza-Zade, also known as F. Sayyah, and her studies of Dostoevsky’s literary heritage. A number of archival materials that reflect the professional and friendly relations of F. Riza-Zade in 1929–1930s have been introduced into scientific circulation. A review of the articles “Dostoevsky and Modern French Literature (On the Influence of Dostoevsky)” and “Dostoevsky in Western Criticism,” as well as the preface to the Persian translation of Dostoevsky’s novel White Nights, published in Tehran, has been carried out. It is noted that the researcher’s works have laid the foundations of Soviet and Iranian comparative studies: Dostoevsky’s work was interpreted in the broad context of French literature, German philosophical and aesthetic tradition and Iranian cultural symbols of good and evil. The key methodological principles of F. Riza-Zade are analyzed: the focus on sociological criticism of the Pereverzev school, a cultural and aesthetic approach to the analysis of genre problems, tendency towards self-sufficiency in literary research and rejection of philosophical speculation. The conclusion is made about the importance of the works of F. Riza-Zade in the study and popularization of Dostoevsky’s work and in the fostering of Russian-Iranian cultural ties.

Два доктора: Осип Дымов и Шарль Бовари (Интертекстуальная структура рассказа Чехова «Попрыгунья»)

Author(s): Sergey A. Kibalnik / Language(s): Russian Issue: 3/2021

A. P. Chekhov’s short story The Fidget (1892) is an abridged hypertext of G. Flaubert’s novel Madame Bovary (1856). The article undertakes a detailed comparison of the characters who occupy a similar place in the narrative and figurative system of these two works: Osip Dymov and Charles Bovary. Both of them are doctors, but Chekhov’s character seems to realize the untapped potential that was laid down in the character penned by Flaubert. He is no longer a failed doctor, but a talented one, with all the qualities required to become an excellent medical scientist. Thus, Chekhov does not merely stand up for the medical community, which he is no stranger to. Thanks to this, the story of the Russian writer transforms into a polemical interpretation of the classic French novel. In Flaubert’s Emma’s imaginary search for the meaning of life, which explains her two adulteries in Madame Bovary, Chekhov seems rather inclined to see the selfishness and lack of responsibility that destroy her family and lead to her own death. It is not by chance that Dymov, rather than Olga Ivanovna dies as a result of her own similar behavior in Chekhov’s short story. At the same time, Chekhov’s text is also a polemical interpretation of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina (1873–1877), which was created as an explicit hypertext of Flaubert’s novel. In the short story, Chekhov’s critical reinterpretation of these two works is clearly based on a kind of “folk” morality of the Ant from the canonical Krylov fable The Dragonfly and the Ant (1808), which is clearly referenced in the title and text of the story. The intertextual structure of Chekhov’s story is examined in the article primarily as a system of its pretexts, some of which relate to it in unison, and others-dissonantly. At the same time, the former are the object of polemical interpretation, while the latter are the subject of stylization and value orientation.

Les anticipations courtes dans la presse française du XIXe siècle

Author(s): Laurent Portes / Language(s): French Issue: 11/2021

The 19th-century French press abounded in short stories of a utopian nature. On examination, these "short utopias", with authors often unknown or anonymous (at times due to famous journalists using pen names, turn out to be witnesses of the political thought of the moment: sometimes reflecting major utopian currents, sometimes extravagant, sometimes at odds with the political situation imposed by authoritarian regimes. Their diversity forces one to ask questions.Their frequent presence in popular almanacs, their publication in entertainment and satirical press (Le Charivari, Le journal amusant, and Le journal pour rire contain them in great numbers), their frequent juxtaposition to amusing illustrations without political aim, or on the contrary their presence even in the daily political press, legitimately make them enter what has been called "the civilization of the newspaper".
