There is a broad consensus that this is a transfer from the centre to the periphery, from the original genre to numerous adapted subgenres and variations. For the latter, the problematic term “‘ ethnic ’ chick lit, ” which in the broadest sense includes all chick lit by authors with non-Western sociocultural backgrounds, has become established. The implicit (re-vision, recovery) and explicit (circulation, collage) comparative strategies introduced by Susan Stanford Friedman serve as a methodological framework for analysing such practices of ethnic labelling. These strategies are applied not through a close reading of primary literature but through a distant reading, or rather comparison, of the Anglo-American chick-lit label with two of its so-called “ ethnic ” subgenres or variations: African-American and African chick lit. A re-visioning of Anglo-American chick lit through a recovery of African-American chick lit, as well as a focus on the label ’ s circulation in Africa, resulting in a collage of African chick lit, demonstrates that the label ’ s dissemination was not as linear as has been suggested by the dominant discourse of chick lit gone global.","PeriodicalId":101944,"journal":{"name":"Literary Translation, Reception, and Transfer","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132939227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was standardized in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries for literary purposes, among others. The poetic utilization of dialectal or colloquial varieties of Afrikaans, however, has been an important trend in its literary history, especially since the advent of the so-called Movement of the 1960s. The relevant varieties include geolects like Karoo Afrikaans, but also sociolects like “Loslitafrikaans” (informal Afrikaans, characterized by being mixed with English), Cape Afrikaans, and Griqua Afrikaans. As a stylistic device, the use of dialectal Afrikaans has served both literary-strategic purposes (literary renewal) and socio-political aims (as actuality literature or socio-politically engaged poetry). As a whole, it transpires that the pressing socio-political and broader cultural conditions that have dictated past developments, or are driving present ones, in South and southern Africa (resistance to nineteenth-century efforts at anglicizing southern Africa, the advent and decline of Apartheid, the increasingly hegemonic position of English in the post-Apartheid dispensation) loom large behind the relative importance of this trend in Afrikaans poetry.","PeriodicalId":101944,"journal":{"name":"Literary Translation, Reception, and Transfer","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125107550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses, in particular, on the accuracy and adequacy of translations of Gulliver ’ s Travels in Fascist Italy, and analyses how responses to the Fascist “ revision ” system changed depending on law, patronage, and the material circumstances in which the translators worked. By examining the translations published during the regime, we can iden-tify different translation strategies that can be interpreted respectively as acts of submission to or resistance against the dominant way of thinking. In particular, I will analyse the first two translations of the full text of Gulliver ’ s Travels by Jonathan Swift, which, interestingly, were issued during the Fascist regime (in 1933 and 1934 respectively). In fact, I believe that a lack of critical analysis, stemming from the fact that Swift was a foreigner and the work was a classic “ universally recognized as such ” (as we read in a circular from the Minister of Popular Culture, Dino Alfieri, to the prefects), 1 left the way open for translations in first unabridged versions. seldom continues above Three Genera-tions, unless the Wife takes care to provide a healthy Father among her Neighbours, or Ac-quaintance, in order to improve and continue the Breed. That a weak diseased Body, a mea-ger Countenance, and sallow Complexion, are no uncommon Marks of a Great Man ; and a healthy robust Appearance is so far disgraceful in a Man of Quality, that the World is apt to conclude his real Father to have been one of the Inferiors of the Family, especially when it is seen that the Imperfections of his Mind run parallel with those of his Body and are little else than a Composition of Spleen, Dulness, Ignorance, Caprice, Sensuality, and Pride. Without the Consent of this illustrious Body, no Law can be enacted, repealed, or altered: And these Nobles have likewise the Decision of all our Possessions without Appeal.

Jane & Theo: Affinities Stylistic and Temperamental in Jane Austen and Theodor Fontane 简与西奥:简·奥斯丁与西奥多·方檀在风格与气质上的相似性

{"title":"Jane & Theo: Affinities Stylistic and Temperamental in Jane Austen and Theodor Fontane","authors":"","doi":"10.1515/9783110641998-015","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110641998-015","url":null,"abstract":": Inhabiting different historical periods, and separated by linguistic, cultural, and literary traditions, Jane Austen and Theodor Fontane seem unlikely candidates for fruitful comparative treatment. The predominance in Germany of the Bildungsroman emphasizes the inner development of the individual; it is Fontane who moves the German novel into the European mainstream by representing characters engaged in life, rather than in meditation or art. If Austen ’ s interests lie in social customs embodied in the novel of manners, Fontane later initiates a teu-tophone version of the genre, with the work of Thackeray at mid-century being, this article proposes, a crucial go-between. From a common attraction to the topics of courtship and marriage, of decep-tive appearances, of small-scale events in realistically observed contemporary settings where women prevail over men, similar authorial attitudes are evident. Austen and Fontane exploit various forms of irony to mock excesses of sentiment and feeling, illustrated in the play of dialogue and the artifice of conversation. With literary styles exhibiting lucidity, balance, and order, each writer projects common sense, reserve, and moderation, issuing from a core outlook of restraint. This prevents their critiques from becoming polemic, and their irony from darken-ing into caricature, and ultimately assures Austen and Fontane of the high regard in which they are held as novelists.","PeriodicalId":101944,"journal":{"name":"Literary Translation, Reception, and Transfer","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116632518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
