Different use of linguistic devices by translators in representing nonverbal behavior of the source text would portray different images of characters. This paper, taking Chinese writer Shen Congwen’s short story Pai-tzu as an example, compares the translation of nonverbal behavior in its two English versions (by Ching Ti and Hsu Kai-yu). It firstly reviews definition and category of nonverbal behavior by scholars in diverse fields, as well as related theories in literature and translation. It then compares the two versions in dealing with the paralanguage and kinesics of the two characters, and explores how the differences between them lead to different features of the characters. This paper comes to the following conclusion: Ching’s version, by the choice of material or behavioral process and illocutionary verbs indicating voice quality, shapes a louder and more dynamic image of the woman, in contrast with a static image in Hsu’s version; the image Pai-tzu is vividly portrayed by Hsu due to the use of marked vocabulary and addition of chronemics and proxemics elements, in contrast with core vocabulary and word omission in Ching’s version; in dealing with body parts as agent metonyms, Ching’s version is closer to the style of the original due to the choice of agent metonyms and material process, while Hsu opts for mental process with human agent.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85238075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Mental Health Conditions in Omobowale’s Seasons of Rage","authors":"Esther Oluwapelumi Odewale","doi":"10.3968/12294","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3968/12294","url":null,"abstract":"The sub-discipline of “Literature and Mental Health” is gradually gaining root in the Nigerian literary scholarship. The depiction of medical experiences in literature have enjoyed some critical patronage, especially on trauma and scriptotherapy. Earlier studies on Nigerian Literature have privileged socio-cultural and socio-political issues to the marginalization of its mental health relevance. This study examines the mental conditions in Emmanuel Babatunde Omobowale’s Seasons of Rage. This text robustly represents mental health conditions through characterisation. Freddy is diagnosed of bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder and depression. This is evident through his character, as his mental state tends to be unstable. At some points, he would behave strong, bold and confident just as he did during the board meeting. At other points, he would be broken, weak and feel defeated as shown when he heard the news of his father’s death and Miriam’s kidnap. Martin also portrays the symptoms of obsession, depression and anxiety. This is evident in his inordinate desire for their father’s wealth and the various unreasonable means he employed to ensure that the whole wealth becomes his. The text also reveals that there is a psychological disorder peculiar to the Fezannis. This is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). They all tend to be obsessed with taking drugs and substances. Omobowale’s creative works have demonstrated capacity to embed the study of Literature and Medicine. The exploration of Literature and mental health in Nigerian literary scholarship is capable of enriching mental education and practice in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82763430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It discusses the traumatic effects of slavery and colonization on the individual and the society in Jamaica and the Caribbean. The action of the play takes place in Jamaica where people struggle against the oppression of European system of slavery and British colonial system. Scott retrieves the grievous memories of slavery, where the phrase ‘echo in the bone’ refers to racial memories of oppression and exploitation. Scott’s creativity appears through recalling cinematic flashbacks with concentric notions that depict the painful experiences of slaves and colonial policies. Recalling the continuous effects of trauma, which contemporary Jamaicans had been encountering since the history of slavery until the postcolonial era, are explored. The framework of the play’s action is provided by the Nine Night ceremony of the dead – a tradition that transcends the mourning manifestation of funeral traditions to glorify and liberate the dead person’s spirit. To this end, the researchers argue that recalling trauma through Jamaican tradition is a means of asserting that trauma is a heritage that was passed down through several generations. The researchers conclude that the play resurrects all the traumatic experiences of oppression and exploitation under the systems of slavery and colonialism to address the traumatic conditions encountered by the contemporary post-independence society in Jamaica.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74842605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
