Full textMagical characters highlight the problems of literary bodies, which in these texts are bizarre, exotic, and glamorous. Ishmael Reed employs voodoo ghosts to liberate the novel from cultural essentialist representational practices; voodoo, the marriage of form to spirit, is plural and polymorphous. As celebrations of trickery, voodoo bodies do not reflect inner character. Similarly, magicians are sleight-of-hand artists or escapologists who confound perception. In Chabon's novel, magicians and super heroes evade the bounds of representation through crafts of illusion. Magicians invent visual illusions; analogous to authors, magicians animate inert forms such as golems or automata. The automaton, a spectacular parody of the human body, questions whether any represented body is alive or not. In Kurzweil's A Case of Curiosities, readers wonder about the veracity of the automaton as extensions of or surrogates for novelistic characters. Fortune tellers, on the other hand, turn bodies into objects of destiny. Tarot readers, such as Efrosina in The Volcano Lover, interpret bodies through visual texts in relation to the past and future. By contrast, in Salamander, the freak poses riddles to readers regarding the authenticity of the body. Not unlike automata or voodoo fetishes, freaks are human puzzles that resemble narrative invention rather than mimetic representations of character. Contemporary novels articulate magical bodies as spirit cabinets, ineffable spaces rendered briefly and spectacularly visible for the delight of readers.

Full textBased on my unpublished translation of The Magic Pudding (1918), Australian children’s novel written and illustrated by Norman Lindsay, this thesis aims at demonstrating the peculiarities of translating illustrated children’s literature. Therefore, it analyses the role of the illustrations in the translation while raising questions on literary adaptation at a time when new reading media and technology compete with the printed book for children’s attention. Given that O Pudim Mágico is the first translation of the novel into Portuguese and due to the importance of the illustrations in the narrative, I propose a foreignised translation to preserve Australia’s cultural and natural elements, in particular foods and animals, visible in the target text. For the same reasons, both the text proper and the illustrations are regarded as texts, respectively verbal and pictorial, in opposition to the verbal and pictorial peritexts added to the target text. This study is divided into four chapters: 1) a presentation of the author’s biography and oeuvre, as well as of the context in which The Magic Pudding was written, followed by a detailed summary of the novel, a discussion on the peculiarities of translating for children and, mainly based on Lawrence Venuti and Gérard Genette, a justification for the foreignising approach with the employment of peritextual elements; 2) a presentation of Javier Franco Aixelá’s strategies to translate culture-specific items in order to discuss the treatment of proper names that hold cultural meanings; considering the target reader, the addition of peritextual elements, such as new illustrations combined with a verbal preface, is suggested as a means to avoid the employment of footnotes; 3) an analysis of the influence of Lindsay’s illustrations on the translation with suggestions for the treatment of the verbal target text; 4) a discussion on issues of adaptation and transmediation of children’s literature, with suggestions for treating the verbal and pictorial texts in the transposition of O Pudim Mágico from printed to digitised media; based mainly on the studies by Lars Elleström and Ellen McCracken, digital reading devices such as Amazon Kindle and Apple iPad are analysed to conclude that the novel’s target text is deemed to be a translation in print format, a remediation on Kindle and a transmediation on iPad.

Full textSynthesizing elements of so many traditions, fantasy has grown into perhaps the most pervasive genre of literature in the western world. The archetypal adventures and themes that have been carried into fantasy through ancient legends and myths have survived over the ages because it was decided long ago those tales had great worth. It was the unpopular and poorly formed legends that died out, while the superior stories were carried from culture to culture under new guises. In this way, fantasy can be seen as the culmination of human legends, filtered throughout history so that only the great tales remain. On what greater pedestal could a form of literature be based? Fantasy has even continued the refinement process in the last fifty years, with active writers like Jordan and Goodkind incorporating elements from the greatest of previous fantasy authors like Tolkien, Howard, and Donaldson. Thus fantasy is continually improving upon itself and evolving in new ways through its modification of old themes. How long can critics refuse to recognize fantasy as a legitimate form? With such admirable authors writing today, it seems logical that the answer would be sooner rather than later. Might fantasy be vanquished by sneering critics and replaced with another form of fiction? Gandalf claims even the Wise cannot see all ends, and while in no way do I profess such wisdom, I find it difficult to believe that, as the successor of mythology, fantasy will ever fizzle and die. A force greater than all the magic swords and rings combined would be necessary to kill four thousand years of human imagination

Full textCette thèse soutient que les pièces Othello, La mégère apprivoisée, et Le Conte d'hiver de Shakespeare engagent profondément les représentations de, et associations avec, la personne sociale de la Renaissance connue en tant que bateleur, une sorte de saltimbanque qui spécialisait entre autres en prestidigitation et en prouesses d'agilité. Iago, Petruchio, Katherina, Autolycus et Paulina reflètent ce personnage, et rappellent autres escrocs et filous qui étaient comparés aux bateleurs de l'Angleterre au temps de Shakespeare. Basé sur des perceptions des magiciens de rue et de ceux qui étaient considérés leurs ancêtres culturels et professionnels—les bohémiens, sorcières, ménestrels, et jongleurs—le mot « juggling » s'appliquaient à une série de diverses pratiques sociales et religieuses, dont plusieurs marquées comme illégales ou moralement douteuses. Les activités les plus souvent comparées au jonglage étaient les miracles et le langage catholiques, la tromperie confédérée, la magie spirituelle et la sorcellerie, les comportements sexuels illicites, et, finalement, le jeu sur scène. Ce projet amène en plusieurs nouvelles directions l'étude du jonglage dans les œuvres de Shakespeare et pendant la Renaissance. Tout en énumérant les attributs les plus insidieux du bateleur, ma thèse découvre aussi des caractérisations ambigües et potentiellement productives du magicien jongleur dans d'autres textes de magie de l'époque, notamment dans Discovery of Witchcraft de Reginald Scot. Ces caractérisations plus positives ont jusqu'ici passées plutôt inaperçues dans des études contemporaines. Cette thèse note d'ailleurs que les femmes aussi étaient nommées bateleuses, et qu'au moins quelques-unes des personnages de Shakespeare (Katherina et Paulina) peuvent être interprétées de cette façon. Plutôt que se restreindre à une analyse du bateleur en tant que magicien ou en tant que métaphore, cette thèse examine autant le personnage social du bateleur que les ombres que jette celui-ci dans les discours philosophiques, criminologiques et religieux, donnant forme aux pièces de Shakespeare ainsi qu'à leur réception par son public. Finalement, et du plus important, cette thèse considère comment le jonglage et les pratiques y associées pendant la Renaissance sont évoqués dans les pièces de Shakespeare, non de façon périphérique ou didactique, mais comme principes structurants qui informent crucialement l'action dramatique des pièces.
Coyne, Kelly Marie. ""The Magic Mirror" Uncanny Suicides, from Sylvia Plath to Chantal Akerman." Thesis, Georgetown University, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10272269.
Full textArtists such as Chantal Akerman and Sylvia Plath, both of whom came of age in mid-twentieth century America, have a tendency to show concern with doubles in their work—Toni Morrison’s Beloved , Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon, Cheryl Dunye’s The Watermelon Woman—and oftentimes situate their protagonists as doubles of themselves, carefully monitoring the distance they create between themselves and their double. This choice acts as a kind of self-constitution, by which I mean a self-fashioning that works through an imperfect mirroring of the text’s author presented as a double in a fictional work. Texts that employ self-constitution often show a concern with liminality, mirroring, consumption, animism, repressed trauma, suicide, and repetition.
It is the goal of this thesis to examine these motifs in Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar and the early work of Chantal Akerman, all of which coalesce to create coherent—but destabilizing—texts that propose a new queer subject position, and locate the death drive—the desire to return to the mother’s womb—as their source. I will examine the uncanny on various levels, zooming out from the micro-level elements of the text to its broader relationship to its environment: from rhetoric, to the physical landscapes of the texts, to characters of the text, to the structure of the text (as confined by its frame), and then, finally, outside the text itself, to the author’s relationship with her double. What I will argue here is that Akerman and Plath—in doubling on both the extradiegetic and intradiegetic levels of their work—propose a queer liminal space that siphons and ultimately expels repressed uncanny desire, allowing for both self-sustainability and personal integrity.

The Umbanda´s history in Brazil is marked since its foundation by the intense publication of doctrinal and literary books written by different liturgical currents, also representatives of different political associations. Following the trajectory of one of the greatest Umbanda´s authors, this dissertation analyzes the emergence of a new chain of umbanda. Created by Rubens Saraceni in the late 90´s, the so called Divine Magic inserts in Umbanda´s terreiros the use of mandalas, giving to the old Umbanda´s symbols a new look, linked to the esoteric and modern urban movements. Reaching new audiences, the expansion of this new "energetic" Umbanda ", merges in terreiros the classroom and the altar. The integration of courses and practices of Divine Magic on the terreiros features various implications, such as the formation of a network of interconnected terreiros and the emergence of groups and representatives in order to strengthen and unify within the Umbanda. This effort of indoctrination and standardization of practices next to the insertion of a new conflict resolution´s key seems to offer us clues about the contemporary Umbanda movement itself, part of the religious Market is greater than the Umbanda itself.
A história da Umbanda no Brasil é marcada desde sua fundação pela intensa publicação de livros doutrinários e literários escritos por diferentes correntes litúrgicas, representantes também de diferentes associações políticas. Seguindo a trajetória de um dos maiores autores atuais da umbanda paulista, a presente dissertação analisa a emergência de uma nova corrente umbandista. Criada por Rubens Saraceni no final dos anos 90, a chamada Magia Divina insere nos terreiros umbandistas a utilização de mandalas, oferecendo aos antigos símbolos umbandistas uma nova roupagem, ligada aos movimentos esotéricos e modernos urbanos. Alcançando novos públicos, a expansão dessa nova umbanda “energética”, mescla no terreiro a sala de aula e o altar. A inserção dos cursos e práticas da Magia Divina nos terreiros apresenta implicações variadas, como a formação de uma rede de terreiros interligados e o aparecimento de grupos e representantes com intuito de fortalecimento e unidade dentro da umbanda. Este esforço de doutrinação e padronização das práticas ao lado da inserção de uma nova chave de resolução de conflitos, parece nos oferecer pistas a respeito do próprio movimento umbandista contemporâneo, parte do cenário religioso maior do que a própria umbanda.

Full textThe present work intends to make a brief reflection about traditional oral tale in Portugal. A special emphasis was placed on the traditional tale The Ten Magic Dwarves of Aunt Aquamarine, including the study of part of its editorial history in three editions of the tale. These editions were made by three different publishers, in different periods of time and for that reason we can see the evolution that occurred in the editorial process. The last aim of this work was to present a new editorial proposal with a new and updated version of the story present in the tale. We concluded that the editorial market for Children Literature in Portugal is growing in the last decades. Today, a new generation of authors is giving renovated attention to it in close collaboration with other professionals, like designers and illustrators. In the basis of Children Literature was the traditional oral tales which carry symbols and myths of the past generations. These tales are often rewritten into new versions, with adaptations and updates that may convert them into Children’s Literature or into Adult Literature. Finally, editorial options, such as book size, illustrations or typefaces, also help to define the target audience of a publication. The edition process of a publication has several phases. Starting on a manuscript, which is revised several times, passing through all the book creation chain. Options taken until the book release to the market including not only design decisions, but also marketing and management decisions. Finally, the result of this work is the mockup of a small publication with the titled Did Aunt Aquamarine lend only ten magic dwarves to help? Its intention was to make an updated version which reflected a renovated look over the traditional oral tale under study in this work.
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo fazer uma breve reflexão sobre o conto tradicional em Portugal. Foi realizado o estudo do conto tradicional Os dez anõezinhos da Tia Verde-Água com principal ênfase nos aspetos editoriais de três versões diferentes, de três editoras diferentes e publicadas em diferentes períodos de tempo. Por fim, o último objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar uma proposta editorial com uma nova versão da história presente no conto. Concluímos que o mercado editorial para a Literatura Infantojuvenil em Portugal continua a crescer. Hoje, uma nova geração de autores está a prestar atenção renovada a este campo editorial, em estreita colaboração com profissionais como designers e ilustradores. Na base da Literatura Infantojuvenil estiveram os contos tradicionais que carregam consigo símbolos e mitos de gerações passadas. Esses contos são muitas vezes reescritos, com adaptações e atualizações que podem convertê-los em Literatura Infantojuvenil ou em Literatura para Adultos. Finalmente, opções editoriais, como tamanho do livro, ilustrações ou tipos de letra, também ajudam a definir o público-alvo de uma publicação. O processo de edição de uma publicação tem várias fases. Começando por um original, que após aceitação e revisão, passa por toda a cadeia de edição até chegar ao leitor. As opções tomadas até ao lançamento do livro incluem não apenas decisões de design, mas também decisões de marketing e gestão. Por fim, o resultado deste trabalho é a maqueta de uma pequena publicação com o título Did Aunt Aquamarine lend only ten magic dwarves to help? Cumprindo assim o objetivo de fazer uma nova versão que refletisse um olhar renovado sobre o conto oral em estudo neste trabalho.
