La Edad de Plata dedicada: mapas del paratexto y de las redes culturales en la obra poética de las escritoras españolas (1901–1936)
2019
La presente Tesis doctoral se propone analizar las redes de colaboración, apoyo y afecto que llevaron a cabo las poetas españolas de la Edad de Plata (1901-1936) que publicaron sus libros durante este periodo en lengua castellana, para el impulso de su personalidad autoral y la profesionalización de su escritura. Asimismo, pretendemos recuperar la memoria de estas autoras a través de la búsqueda de material histórico inédito y de sus archivos personales, en el caso de que se encuentren preservados. Para reconstruir estas relaciones entre poetas, así como con otros agentes culturales, partiremos de los elementos paratextuales que rodean al texto literario: prólogos, epílogos, dedicatorias o …
Autopsie einer Graphic Novel: Dostoevskijs Prestuplenie i nakazanie (1866) in der Adaption von Alain Korkos und David Zane Mairowitz (2008)
2021
Summary This study offers a comprehensive comparative analysis between F. M. Dostoevskij’s classic Prestuplenie i nakazanie (PSS 6, 1973) and the black-and-white adaptation Crime and Punishment created by Alain Korkos and David Zane Mairowitz (2008). According to author and artist, the adaptation is meant for recipients acquainted with the novel and first readers of the graphic novel alike. With 417 pages of close-printed canonic text turned into a picture-dominated graphic novel of 118 pages, the adaptation – paying attention to the sequence of crucial fictional scenes – follows the storyline from the beginning of the canonic text to the Epilogue. About 95 % of the precisely and densely fo…
Angst als Textspur und Bildspur in Graphic Novels zum historischen Geschehen des 20. Jahrhunderts
2020
Neben vielen anderen Charakterisierungen, etwa ‚Jahrhundert der Diktatoren‘, ist für das 20. Jahrhundert wahrscheinlich auch die Formulierung ‚Jahrhundert der Angst‘ gerechtfertigt. Dieser Beitrag ist ein erster Versuch, die Darstellung von Angst in verbal-piktoralen Narrativen zu erschließen. Text- und Bildspuren zu Angst – politisch genutzte Techniken der Angsterzeugung einerseits und bis zu dauerhafter Traumatisierung gehende Angsterfahrung andererseits – sind in vielen Graphic Novels zur Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts ein wesentliches Deutungsangebot. Obwohl ästhetisch und intellektuell anspruchsvoll, somit ein Angebot zur Aufarbeitung von Geschichte, ist diese Fokussierung von Angst d…
Translations, Paratextual Mediation, and Ideological Closure
1996
Abstract: This article deals with the way so-called paratexts were used, in Finland in 1890-1939, in publishing translations of Anglo-American literature, and especially with the tendencies towards ideological closure that those paratexts manifest. The dominant ideology in the material is what could be called religious-conservative ideology, emphasizing the thought content of the works and their (educative, civilizing, sometimes also entertaining) impact on readers. This is due to the ideological unification process that penetrated the cultural institutions, which were still relatively undifferentiated and non-autonomous during the period in Finland. The article emphasizes that in studying …
El «Llibre de les Bèsties» (1287-1289) de Ramon Llull: anàlisi d'adaptacions infantils i juvenils
2020
En aquest article presentem una anàlisi de les sis adaptacions que del Llibre de les Bèsties (1287- 1289) es van publicar per al públic infantil i juvenil amb motiu de l’Any Llull (2015-2016). Després de presentar la figura de Ramon Llull com a escriptor de referència en l’època medieval i de situar Llibre de les Bèsties dins de la producció literària de Llull, analitzem els paratextos extratextuals i textuals de les sis adaptacions aquí estudiades. La presentació i l’anàlisi d’aquests paratextos ens permet determinar, d’una banda, a quin tipus de nivell lector va adreçada cada adaptació i quin treball didàctic en pot resultar; i, d’altra banda, com el missatge que Llull transmet en aquesta…
Dades per a l'anàlisi de narratives per al lector infantil i juvenil
2009
El camp de la literatura per a infants i joves reclama habitualment dades objectives que permeten avaluar el tipus de relat amb el qual ha de treballar l’editor, el traductor, el bibliotecari, el gestor cultural o el professional de la mediació. Per tant, la transformació d’un relat en objecte epistemològic és el primer esglaó imprescindible per als professionals de la mediació o de la gestió cultural. L’article proposa un protocol per a l’anàlisi dels relats per a infants i joves
La fragmentation dans l'écriture durassienne : marges textuelles
2018
The work of Marguerite Duras draws on such concepts as rejection, loss, and transgression. A deviation from the current norms and rules of language and rhetoric is part of a wider reflection on the discourse of women in the public sphere. The issue of exclusion in Duras’s texts resonates particularly strongly in the context of ‘thresholds’ of paratext defined by Gerard Genette. Such analysis shows the coexistence of text and nontext in the creative process. The author avoids explicitness to underscore the specificity of her unfinished/broken writing. Particularly noteworthy is the fragmentation of the meta-narrative. Using decomposition, cross-genre, and silence, Duras makes the reader awar…
Textual and pictorial components in the focus: paratext in translated graphic novels
2018
Summary In spite of manifold textual-pictorial make-up and remarkably varied meaning making function, paratext is one of the neglected research topics around graphic novels (graphic narrative in general). Even more so, this goes for translated graphic novels. Distinguishing between carrier media of paratext (front and back covers, blurbs) and forms of information (introduction, imprint, appendix), this study starts from describing most characteristic components of graphic novels’ paratext. Different from many articles on graphic narrative, this contribution is not only based on English, French and German, but also on Slavic (Czech, Polish, Serbian) source and target texts. All source texts …
Towards a digital model to edit the different paratextuality levels within a textual tradition
2008
In the textual tradition of a literary work, our sources (manuscripts, printed books etc.) commonly bear, together with the "main text", different kinds of "paratexts" commenting on it (including interlinear annotations, glosses, scholia, footnotes, modern scholarly introductions and commentaries, and many others). This article proposes a unified model for a document-based digital critical edition including both the 'main texts' and the 'paratexts' as they appear in different single sources. The problematic aspects of such an "enlarged" digital edition are discussed, including the relations between the different 'paratexts' and the 'main text' they refer to 'within each single textual sourc…
On the Strangeness of Pop Art Picturebooks: Pictures, Texts, Paratexts
2011
As a species of picturebook emerging around 1970, some Pop Art picturebooks were quite successful in their time, but appear strange from today's point of view. This strangeness has to do with multiple transgressions of traditional conventions restricting the notion of a “good” picturebook: transgressions regarding artistic style (influenced by the Pop Art movement), transgressions regarding the stories' content (with their emphasis on weird characters, surprising twists in narration and plot, and a fanciful combination of sceneries), and transgressions regarding the idea that politics and economic and social problems should be banned from picturebooks (displaying an anti-capitalist or anti-…
