Such activity of literary translation took place against a cultural background marked by the so-called Language Question, the desire to move away from archaic Greek and toward simplified Greek. Drawing on the poet Tellos Agras’s apposite metaphor of the translator as a fickle butterfly as opposed to the diligent bee, this article argues that decadent translations in Greek were mercurial and capricious creative statements that cared little about accurate transmission of the source text or about elevating national literature. As a result, Greek decadent translators were criticized for their “xenomania,” practices of imitation, and self-indulgent exoticism. Decadent translations appeared in two distinct waves: in the 1890s as part of the New Athenian School, and then during the neo-symbolist or neoromantic 1920s. Greek decadent translators were cosmopolitan dandies who simultaneously translated and emulated Oscar Wilde, Gabriele D’Annunzio, Jean Moréas, Edgar Allan Poe, and others. Their translations stood out in magazines and newspapers by making use of a format that might be called the “tiny anthology.” The article focuses on translations by the short prose stylist Nikolaos Episkopopoulos, the aristocratic dandy-poet Napoleon Lapathiotis, and Agras himself. The concluding section examines a few notable instances of translation by C. P. Cavafy and, briefly, Nikos Kazantzakis, in which Agras’s “butterfly” metaphor is pushed to extremes of invention and individualism.","PeriodicalId":45201,"journal":{"name":"MODERN PHILOLOGY","volume":"121 1","pages":"82 - 103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41560384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"“Clothed with Poetry”: Lafcadio Hearn’s Decadent Aesthetics of Translation","authors":"S. Evangelista","doi":"10.1086/725415","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/725415","url":null,"abstract":"In Europe, the late nineteenth century was marked by an explosion of interest in Japanese arts and culture known as japonisme. While japonisme flourished, however, translations of Japanese literature remained extremely limited. This article explores the contribution of Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904) to the diffusion of Japanese literature in translation, arguing that his works represent a pioneering effort to circulate Japanese literature internationally through the framework of decadence. Focusing in particular on the collection Shadowings (1900), the article suggests that Hearn’s Japanese essays and stories drew on ideas and literary techniques associated with decadent literature in the West and fed, in their turn, a decadent fascination with the exotic, the uncanny, and the relationship between literature and the visual arts. In Shadowings, Hearn suggestively presented translation as an art of shadows, a metaphor that interacted with the theme of the Japanese uncanny while looking back to Théophile Gautier’s definition of decadent aesthetics. Hearn made a highly creative use of translation by mixing different translational forms, ranging from the transliteration of isolated words to entire versions of Japanese source texts. His writings also frequently dramatized encounters with translation in order to present translation as an embodied and collaborative practice involving a network of social relations. In this process, translation shaped not only his cultural and social interactions with Japan but also his self-knowledge as cultural mediator.","PeriodicalId":45201,"journal":{"name":"MODERN PHILOLOGY","volume":"121 1","pages":"104 - 123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43856587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines in particular Hérelle’s relationship with Matilde Serao and Grazia Deledda, two women writers from the southern Italy, and discusses the key role this relationship played in shaping international understandings of their affiliations with decadence. A focus on translation reveals how Hérelle and other male French intellectuals encouraged Italian female writers to minimize their cosmopolitan ambitions and stick to local inspiration in their work. Hérelle felt entitled to select and adapt Serao’s and Deledda’s work for French readerships, promoting features that reinforced their association with territories (Naples and Sardinia) that French readers perceived as exotic and “savage,” rather than coeval with modern Western societies. He also relentlessly discouraged Deledda and Serao from experimenting with foreign languages and assimilating European (and especially French) literary influences. In doing so, he and his collaborators effectively treated them, to use Gayatri Spivak’s terminology, as “native informants,” whose task was to recount and interpret their native traditions for the enjoyment and consumption of nonnative readerships.","PeriodicalId":45201,"journal":{"name":"MODERN PHILOLOGY","volume":"121 1","pages":"32 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42821142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There has been recent interest in microbiota correction by maternal vaginal seeding in Cesarean section-born infants; however, the safety of this practice has been debated. The aim of this study was to assess how other factors, such as timing of sampling, maternal obesity, vaginal Group B Streptococcus colonization (GBS), and antibiotic exposure, affect the maternal and infant microbiota. Methods: Maternal vaginal and saliva samples were collected at three time periods: 35-37 weeks gestation (prenatal), within 24-36 hours after birth (birth), and at ~6 weeks postpartum. Infant saliva and stool samples were collected at ~6 weeks postpartum. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing was utilized to assess the taxonomic and inferred functional compositions of the bacterial communities from both mothers and infants. Results: Samples from 36 mothers and 32 infants were obtained. Gestational age, breastfeeding, mode of birth, and gravidity were associated with taxonomic alterations in the infant samples, while obesity, antibiotic use, and GBS status were not. Maternal samples were predominantly affected by time, whereby significant alterations including increased microbial diversity were seen at birth and persisted to 6 weeks postpartum. Conclusion: This study provides information on the relationship between health and delivery factors and changes in vaginal and infant microbiota. These results may better direct clinicians and mothers in optimizing the infant microbiota towards health during infancy and later life.","PeriodicalId":45201,"journal":{"name":"MODERN PHILOLOGY","volume":"86 1","pages":"29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10688794/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82141420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
