« In Defense of Freedom of Adaptation: The Case of El hombre descuadernado, an Adaptation of “The Horla” »

2018

International audience; This chapter offers a case study of El hombre descuadernado (2009), a comic book adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s « The Horla » (1886) by Spanish writer Felipe Hernández Cava and Argentinian artist Sanyú. If one considers a good adaptation to be a free adaptation, i.e. one which betrays its source rather than reproduce it, then literary classics provide many opportunities for adaptations insomuch as they are open to multiple readings and to the specific concerns of various eras (in this case, a parallel is made between the figure of the Horla and Alzheimer’s disease). Thus, after exploring Cava’s reasons for adapting the novella with its motifs of disease, madness, …

Ćwok, kiep i frajer, czyli postać głupiego męża we francuskiej prozie realistycznej i naturalistycznej

2017

The paper discusses the theme of a stupid husband in three texts of French Realism and Naturalism: a novel by Gustave Flaubert and two short stories by Emile Zola and Guy de Maupassant. The main reference for the analysis is a paper by Stefan Symotiuk who divides the category of “fools” into several subcategories, according to reasons and signs of their stupidity. In agreement with Symotiuk’s thought, Flaubert’s Charles Bovary can be considered as a “blockhead”, dull but always glad with himself; Zola’s Mr Chabre is a “dolt”, heavily thinking and likely to hoax; finally, Maupassant’s Mr Lantin is a “dupe”, easily cheated because unable to see things as they are. All the three characters can…

Équivalents finnois du futur morphologique français : étude contrastive de dix nouvelles de Guy de Maupassant et de leurs traductions finnoises

2014

Tiivistelmä – Abstract Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, kuinka ranskan kielen morfologinen futuurirakenne esitetään suomenkielisissä käännösteksteissä. Kontrastiivisen asetelman tekee mielenkiintoiseksi se, että morfologinen futuuri puuttuu suomen kielestä kokonaan. Näin ollen kääntäjän on käytettävä muita keinoja futuurisen aspektin ilmaisuun. Tutkielman korpuksen ranskankielinen osa koostuu kymmenestä Guy de Maupassantin vuosina 1881– 1890 ilmestyneestä novellista. Käännöskorpus sisältää kolmen kääntäjän, Reino Hakamiehen, Elina Hytösen ja Annikki Sunin, suomennoksia, jotka ovat ilmestyneet vuosina 1960–1983. Ranskankielinen korpus käsittää noin 36 668 sanaa, suomenkielinen noin 25 …

La Sicile de Maupassant, la sémio-anthropologie des incipit et le nomadisme de la pensée

2017

A reflection on a travel to Sicily by Maupassant becomes an occasion to discuss the category continuous/discontinuous and the symmetric notion of beginning. The starting question is: how can we define a beginning? To answer this question, I adopt a double strategy: on the one side, I resort to some specialists in this field (Lotman, Said, Aragon and Gracq) who allow me – by deferring to some other concepts, authors and theories – to focus on the notion of existence itself and on the nomadism of thinking developed by Deleuze; on the other hand, I concentrate more analytically on a beginning by Maupassant and on a beginning by Malinowski in order to underline the importance of interdisciplina…

Désir souverain, volonté de fer, puissance de manipulation : les personnages des spéculateurs chez Zola et Maupassant

2020

Artykuł ukazuje dwie sylwetki spekulantów – bohaterów XIX-wiecznych powieści E. Zoli (Aristide Saccard) i G. de Maupassanta (William Andermatt). Pierwszy ucieleśnia gorączkowość, chaos i rozrzutność parweniusza z prowincji, który stał się milionerem. Drugi to bankier, którego niezwykły talent do zarabiania pieniędzy opiera się na racjonalizmie, chłodnej kalkulacji i wyjątkowej intuicji. Mimo dzielących ich różnic, obaj stanowią inkarnację podstawowych cech biznesmena: pragnienia, woli i władzy.

O potędze "flexusa", czyli znaczenie przypadku w nowelach Guy de Maupassanta

2018

Guy de Maupassant, mistrz noweli realistycznej, szczególną rolę przypisuje w swych utworach przypadkowi, który uznaje za jeden z głównych czynników kształtujących ludzkie losy. W trzech analizowanych opowiadaniach: Włosy, Kelner, małe piwo!... oraz Clochetle, przypadek, który można określić łacińskim słowem lexus, oznaczającym ‘zwrot, punkt zwrotny’, urasta do rangi swoistego punktu ciężkości całej fabuły. We wszystkich trzech tekstach nagły zwrot akcji spowodowany przez błahe, banalne wydarzenie lub niespodziewany splot okoliczności wywiera silny wpływ na ułożoną i przewidywalną egzystencję bohaterów. A ponieważ w kwestii natury ludzkiej Maupassant jest pesymistą, stąd działanie owego flex…

Zola et Maupassant conteurs fantastiques : le genre en (r)évolution

2018

In “classical” gothic stories, following the patierns established by E. T. A. Hoffmann or E. A. Poe, death is the starting point of the storyline which is imagined in relation to a central extraordinary event, like the appearance of a ghost, a phantom or any other supernatural being. In the 19th century, the fascination with achievements of human mind is completed by the study of mental diseases. Hence, the central event of most of the gothic stories of this time is the imaginary appearance of a double, an invisible persecutor or any other manifestation of the ideas hidden in a sick brain. Zola and Maupassant have created a number of stories following this pattern, where death is no more a …
