"Frater, ave atque vale" (Catull. 101.10): fortuna literaria de una fórmula epigráfica
2011
Trabajo realizado dentro del Grupo de Investigación «Tradiciones Clásicas» de la UPV/EHU (GIU-07-26) [ES] En este artículo ofrecemos un panorama con algunos de los autores modernos –Tennyson, Swinburne, V. Woolf, G. Moore, C.K. Stead y Anne Carson– que han dado nueva vida al motivo del saludo directo al difunto, a partir del carmen 101 de Catulo, cuyo verso 10 sigue gozando de un especial éxito, apoyado por la efectiva simplicidad de su saludo emotivo al hermano y de su forma, asequible y reconocible aun cuando el conocimiento de la lengua latina sea menor. [EN] In this article we offer an overview of some of the modern authors (specially Tennyson, Swinburne, V. Woolf, G. Moore, C.K. Stead,…
"Tightrope walking the twenty-first century": Jeanette Winterson's vital connections with Modernism
2012
International audience; In Art Objects (1995), her aesthetic manifesto, Jeanette Winterson calls for a new literature for the new millennium, and new forms of writing that could “answer to twenty-first-century needs”. Far from repudiating the past, Winterson urges the twenty-first-century artist to turn to previous generations for inspiration, and to draw poetic power from the “lineage of art”. Since “every new beginning prompts a return”, before he/she can fully experiment with language, the true artist must first experience his/her vital connections with the past, not in the spirit of ancestor worship, but to reclaim past literature, “(re-state) and (re-instate) (it) in its original vigou…
Polish Translations of Anglo-American Literature and the Question of Ideology : From Romanticism to Twentieth-Century Avant-Gardes
2017
Ideology has always influenced translation, yet this fact became a topic of scholarly research only in the 1990s. The working of ideology in literary translations most often manifests itself as a conflict of value systems. From vast reservoir of foreign sources, the native axiology absorbs values that it needs to sustain its culture. It is not a coincidence that Anglo-American literature, propagating ideas of democracy and individual freedom, became popular in Poland in the first half of the nineteenth-century when Poland did not exist as a state. Only a century later, American literature was the most popular of all foreign literatures in pre-1939 Poland. World War II changed this situation…
Una habitación propia en los márgenes de la cultura
2006
El texto está enteramente dedicado a “Una habitación propia” de Virginia Woolf. En primer lugar, se repasan las dificultades que han pesado históricamente sobre las mujeres con vocación de escritoras y a las que alude la autora. Después, se presta atención a una de las tesis centrales de la teoría literaria contenida en este libro, a saber, la idea de que las grandes mentes creadoras de la literatura han sido esencialmente andróginas. A la luz de este principio se comparan las figuras de dos de las novelistas más sobresalientes del siglo XIX: Charlotte Brontë y Jane Austen. Se hace referencia, por último, a la necesidad, tanto simbólica como real, de que las mujeres dispongan de una habitac…
Orlando, posterity and textual survival beyond the book
2022
This paper’s premise is that certain texts call for adaptation in the sense that they encapsulate anxieties about their posterity and their survival beyond their current material actualization. Orlando’s musings on death and immortality in Virginia Woolf’s eponymous novel are a case in point as they reflect a conflicted longing for the solidity of commemorative monuments and for the immateriality of memory-scapes. Lying “entombed” and “embalmed” in the medium of the book, words also rise “like an incantation” when brought to life by the reader (Orlando, Penguin Classics, 2000, 57). This passage is to be related to the modernist revival of interest in the works of Sir Thomas Browne which not…
A Form for Writing 20th Century Loss: Aesthetics of Absence in Virginia Woolf’s Jacob’s Room
2021
Considerada la seva primera novel·la modernista, Jacob’s Room (1922) de Virginia Woolf seria recordada per les seves tecniques experimentals per a contar la historia de Jacob, qui va morir a la Primera Guerra Mundial. La construccio del que es en el fons del seu personatge mes misterios ofereix una resposta diferent a les realitats canviants de la guerra i serveix com manera literaria de dol que busca no tant consolar com preservar i transmetre l’absencia provocada per les perdues de la Gran Guerra. Aqui es presenta una analisis de l’estetica de l’absencia a l’obra de Woolf, i s’afirma que anticipa preocupacions posteriors al tractar experiencies de violencia de masses en la literatura. De …
