Bacchini in tipografia. I paratesti editoriali
2020
A refined and methodical scholar like Benedetto Bacchini could not renounce the constructive and effective use of scientific communication also through the paratextual apparatus of the works he wrote, or of which he was curator and promoter. Among the many tools that he had at his disposal - typical of the Republic of Letters to which he fully adhered - the paratext editorial offered a particularly favourable context to clarify the reasons, the basic elements, the methodological structure of that "Unitary logic of science" consciously pursued by him throughout his spiritual and intellectual activity.
Els llindars de les Alonsíades. Els paratexts en La Alonsíada, de Joan Ramis, i L’Alonsíada, de Vicenç Albertí
2017
Resum: El 1818, l’il·lustrat menorqui Joan Ramis i Ramis (1746-1819) va publicar La Alonsiada , un poema epic en castella que narra la conquesta per part d’Alfons III d’Arago de l’illa de Menorca l’any 1287, aleshores en mans sarraines. El mateix any es va imprimir tambe la traduccio del text al catala, L’Alonsiada , a cura del seu coetani Vicenc Alberti i Vidal (1786-1859). Tot i que es tracten d’una obra original i la seua traduccio, hi ha diferencies notables en la presentacio de les dues versions. Aquestes divergencies afectes aspectes de caire civil i politic, com son la finalitat de cada text o el public al qual estaven adrecats. En aquesta linia, son molt interessants les implicacion…
« Paratexte »
2013
Le paratexte est, selon la double étymologie du préfixe grec para-, l’ensemble des pages et messages qui entourent et protègent le texte. Sa fonction relève autant de la protection physique (couverture, pages de gardes) ou symbolique (prologue, préface, postface, épigraphe, etc.), que de l’identification (nom de l’auteur, titre de l’ouvrage, nom de l’éditeur, lieu et date d’édition, lieu d’impression, nom de la collection, code barre, etc.), de l’organisation (table des matières, bibliographie, répertoire, index, annexes), de la distinction (couverture souple ou rigide, format du livre, choix du papier) ou de la séduction (jaquette, illustration de surface, graphisme, etc.).

Rinse, Repeat. Paratextual Poetics of Literary Twitter Collage Retweeted
2019
This essay studies what happens to the poetics of a text that was first written on or for a certain internet platform when it is later copy-pasted to a different literary medium – that of an edited and printed book. The main target of the discussion is Finnish author Karri Kokko’s conceptual literary work Retweeted (2016), a print-on-demand book, the roots of which are firmly in both the traditions of print media and the digital interfaces of the social media platform Twitter. The analysis pays close attention to the medial qualities of both Twitter and the conceptual novel that draws material from it. The essay aims to highlight the poetic qualities of the material produced and circulated …
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…
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
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…
Structure de la page WEB
2009
The concept of paratext appears to be useful to try to describe the structure of a complex Web page. This article will firstly tackle the meaning attributed to this concept by Gérard Genette. Secondly, by trying to spot and to name whatever is likely to appear simultaneously on the screen upon the display of a written document extracted from the Web, it will Webwise redefine the two components of the paratext, namely the epitext and the peritext. Their functions, their feasible meanings and their effects will then be analysed.
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…
Paramedia : thresholds of the social text
2017
This work is an adaptation of Gerard Genette’s theory of paratexts to social media. Paratexts are information surrounding texts, and usually helping the user to decide whether or not to consume a text. In social media, a plurality of new information surrounds texts we read every day. They are dynamic by nature and have different authors: the social platforms, like Facebook or YouTube; the authors of texts, and the users who comment and share them. This collection of four articles will debate the ethos in social media, what is an author in social media, what are the identified paratexts in selected social media websites and the limits of interpretation of paratexts in contemporary Brazilian …
