{"title":"Colouring écriture féminine in Peter Manson's translations of Mallarmé","authors":"Rebecca Varley-Winter","doi":"10.16995/BIP.758","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.16995/BIP.758","url":null,"abstract":"This article considers the possibilities of ecriture feminine in Peter Manson’s translations of Mallarme, particularly focussing on the use of colour in Herodiade, ‘Don du Poeme’, and ‘Les Fenetres’. In this work, I firstly trace an association between colour and the erotic in feminist theory and art, which can be seen in works such as Audre Lorde’s ‘Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power’ (1978), Pipilotti Rist’s ‘Ever is Over All’ (1997), and in Meiling Cheng’s ‘The Unbearable Lightness of Sight’ (2003), in which she writes: 'the image seized for view, however deliberately designed, exists in a state of indifference, whereas the viewer is most likely already overdetermined by his/her interpretive desire. Perhaps the best we can do is to bypass the conundrum by pursuing the liberating potential of that discrepancy, recognizing the being of an image as light/intangible and the core of desire as heavy/matter-producing'. In translation, the translator negotiates with their source text, and with the sensual dimensions of the source language, in a manner that is comparable to this interpretation of colour vision. Julia Kristeva argues that Mallarme’s work exemplifies ecriture feminine because it draws the reader into a state anterior to language, which she compares to the pre-linguistic communion between mother and infant. In Mallarme’s work, colour reveals the materiality of light, transforming it into a bodily force that Mallarme initially codes (perhaps too simplistically) as feminine. I begin by reading reds and purples in Herodiade as allusions to blood, then the golds of coloured glass in ‘Les Fenetres’ and ‘Don du Poeme’ as a way of making conflicts between bodily abjection and transcendence visible (the pane of glass becoming a coloured body between the lyric ‘I’ and the sky). I finally consider Mallarme’s use of the word ‘Azur’ as a metaphor for virginity (azure being associated, through lapis lazuli, with the blue of the Virgin Mary). Manson’s translations are particularly attuned to Mallarme’s combinations of the ‘heavy/matter-producing’ and the ‘light/intangible’, and I argue that Manson’s word choices emphasise an erotic force in Mallarme’s use of azure, treating this colour as a reservoir that, in Manson’s translation, threatens to ‘drown’ the ‘self-coloured cinders’ of Mallarme’s speaker, colouring symbolic boundaries between languages and genders, and between self and other.","PeriodicalId":40210,"journal":{"name":"Journal of British and Irish Innovative Poetry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41864732","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}

{"title":"‘Linguistically Wounded’: Veronica Forrest-Thomson, Sylvia Plath, and the Limits of Poetic Artifice","authors":"A. Moser","doi":"10.16995/BIIP.44","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.16995/BIIP.44","url":null,"abstract":"Based on the archival evidence of Veronica Forrest-Thomson’s annotations to Sylvia Plath’s 1971 collection Winter Trees, as well as a 1972 typescript of Forrest-Thomson’s review of Winter Trees, which she never published, this article argues that Forrest-Thomson’s engagement with Plath’s late poetry played a crucial role in the development of her theory of ‘poetic artifice’. Yet I contend that the poems of Winter Trees by no means offer themselves as self-evident exemplars of such a theory, and I explore this disjunction by juxtaposing Forrest-Thomson’s revisionary account of Plath in Poetic Artifice: A Theory of Twentieth-Century Poetry, which posits the poems ‘Daddy’ and ‘Purdah’ as anti-confessional works of art that clearly indicate their own ‘unreality’, against the Winter Trees review, which is more critical of Plath’s ‘compromises’. Because Forrest-Thomson’s aesthetic project is further complicated by her own development as a poet, I also consider a selection of poems published in the 1974 Omens Poetry Pamphlet Cordelia: or ‘A poem should not mean but be’, in order to explore an elided, yet suggestive, relation between feeling and theory in her poetry. Finally, I argue that this relation, which Plath’s ‘Purdah’ would seem to both prefigure and sanction, signals the presence of a reticent ‘linguistic emotionality’ in Forrest-Thomson’s work that not only contests the authority of her male modernist models, but also anticipates contemporary critical discourses in experimental poetry and poetics.","PeriodicalId":40210,"journal":{"name":"Journal of British and Irish Innovative Poetry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41898373","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}
