Abstract

This book examines feminist textual and cinematic engagements with the idea of the Middle Ages in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, arguing that the idea of the medieval past is central to the work of novelists and directors interested in embodiment and vulnerability. Careful and illuminating analysis of particular moments in fiction, film, and political discourse dismantles the false binary between popular and intellectual medievalisms, which rests on gendered understandings of genre and audience, while demonstrating that masculinist or patriarchal medievalisms have an equal but understudied counterpart.The book's first three chapters cover Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey and its afterlives, the final works of Virginia Woolf, and late twentieth-century film and music videos from the United States. The final chapter examines the treatment of women's bodies and vulnerability in both political theory and recent electoral politics, arguing that they share a common thread of misogyny rooted in the idea of the medieval past, and that one way to challenge that misogyny is by looking at complex feminist engagements with that same past, both real and imagined.

Abstract

Doelstelling:Het doel van deze scriptie is om de aanwezigheid van de vertaalroutines en de relevantie ervan in mijn eigen vertaling te analyseren als hulpmiddel om een idiomatische vertaling te produceren. Middelen of methode: Deze scriptie is een studie over de vertaalroutines uit de cursus ‘Vertaalroutines: Engelse Vertaaloefeningen’ van Herman Brondeel die gegeven wordt aan de derdejaarsstudenten van de Hogeschool Gent, Departement Vertaalkunde. Om de vertaalstrategie van Brondeel te illusteren, heb ik één aflevering van de BBC-miniserie Pride and Prejudice ondertiteld. Ik heb de ondertitels zelf gemaakt zonder naar een bestaande ondertiteling te kijken. Een vertaalstrategie is een hulpmiddel voor de vertaler om bewust beslissingen te nemen over wat hij moet doen om een bepaalde brontekst op een consequente manier te vertalen. De vertaler moet weten waar te beginnen, wat te doen en waar te eindigen. Deze vertaalroutines zijn niet bedoeld als strikte regels, noch als bijdrage tot een vertaaltheorie. Deze routines zijn eerder een beschrijving van een ad hoc-aanpak die de vertaler een reeks richtlijnen aanbiedt om de brontekst zo te vertalen dat er een coherent en idiomatisch equivalent ontstaat in de doeltaal. Resultaten: De verschillende vertaalroutines werden stap voor stap besproken. De twee routines die het meest voorkwamen in de ondertitels waren de ctieroutine en de Reductieroutine en de Deletieroutine, waarbij zinsdelen ofwel gereduceerd werden ofwel helemaal weggelaten werden. De belangrijkste reden daarvoor is de beperkte plaats die de vertaler heeft om de ondertitel in het scherm in te passen

Abstract

"Romantic Revelations shows that the nonhuman is fundamental to Romanticism's political responses to climatic catastrophes. Exploring what he calls "post-apocalyptic Romanticism," Chris Washington intervenes in the critical conversation that has long defined Romanticism as an apocalyptic field. "Apocalypse" means "the revelation of a perfected world," which sees Romanticism's back-to-nature environmentalism as a return to paradise and peace on earth. Romantic Revelations, however, demonstrates that the destructive climate change events of 1816, "the year without a summer," changed Romantic thinking about the environment and the end of the world. Their post-apocalyptic visions correlate to the beginning of the Anthropocene, the time when humans initiated the possible extinction of their own species and potentially the earth. Rather than constructing paradises where humans are reborn or human existence ends, the later Romantics are interested in how to survive in the ashes after great social and climatic global disasters. Romantic Revelations argues that Percy Shelley, Mary Shelley, Lord Byron, John Clare, and Jane Austen sketch out a post-apocalyptic world that is paradoxically the vision that offers us hope. Washington contends that these authors craft an optimistic vision of the future that leads to a new politics."--

Abstract

Here we come to know Jane Austen by the company she keeps: her predecessors Fielding, Sterne, Lennox, and Burney, her contemporary Scott, and her successors Waugh and Amis-comic novelists all. And comedy is the connection between these twelve elegant essays by the distinguished academic Bruce Stovel, who most lovingly engages Austen herself through his studies of her comic novels, her art of conversation, her pleasure principle, and her prayers. Edited by Nora Foster Stovel, the collection includes an introduction by Juliet McMaster and an afterword by Isobel Grundy.
