- At the selvedges of discoursePublication . Bennett, Karen; Departamento de Línguas, Culturas e Literaturas Modernas (DLCLM); Petroleum-Gas University of PloiestiThe notion of the “in-between” has become a common trope in the work of many translation studies scholars in recent decades. However, in 2003, Maria Tymoczko famously took issue with the term, claiming not only that the concept is incompatible with a systems view of languages and cultures, but also that it subscribes to a Romantic notion of the translator as a “déclassé and alienated intellectual” and to a Platonic conception of meaning. This article suggests that Tymoczko has construed the term somewhat differently from the authors she quotes, and that this miscomprehension has arisen from her own embedment in a philosophical culture grounded in empiricism and linguistic realism. Returning to the term’s sources in poststructuralist thought, I argue that the “in-between” should instead be understood on the symbolic level of discourse, which enables it to become a vehicle for a profoundly un-Platonic form of political engagement.
- Lorsque la voix déchire la lettrePublication . Carreto, Carlos; Departamento de Línguas, Culturas e Literaturas Modernas (DLCLM); Instituto de Estudos de Literatura e Tradição (IELT - NOVA FCSH); APEF - Associação Portuguesa de Estudos FrancesesThe emergence of the romance (as language and poetic discourse) in the Middle Ages shows an emancipation from Latin and neo-Latin literary models that suggests an acute perception of the scriptural dynamic acting at the heart of the fiction. Nevertheless, Paul Zumthor’s and Bernard Cerquiglini’s works in the 1980s have clearly shown that this emerging literature does not suppose an interruption with oral background on which it is based. But the opposite is equally true: the prologues remind us constantly that the legitimacy of the literary phenomenon cannot be based entirely on an ethics of the voice and that it supposes more and more an epistemology of the writing. The development of a literary consciousness in the vernacular language is thus neither simple affirmation of a vocal presence that deeply resonates in the texture of the written poems, nor a pure claim of the power of the letter that threatens the fragility of the orality whose symbolic prestige begins to decline especially from the 12th century: as romances and chanson de geste show us fiction seems to appear above all an experience of the in-between which emerges from the constant tension, even counter-diction (R. Dragonetti), between the letter and the voice.
- Body and transcendence in Virginia Woolf and Clarice Lispector = Corpo e transcendência em Virgínia Woolf e Clarice LispectorPublication . Correia, Alda MariaVirginia Woolf and Clarice Lispector belong to quite different historical, political and cultural contexts. Beyond its antecedents and roots in European modernism, Brazilian modernism developed according to peculiar patterns and lines, cultivating, for example, more clearly political, nationalist and regionalist tendencies than happened in the British area. Molly Hite’s essay “Virginia Woolf’s Two Bodies” suggests the existence of two kinds of body represented and perhaps experienced by Virginia Woolf: “one kind was the body for others, the body cast in social roles”, the other, the “visionary body”, a second physical presence, which brings into play new perspectives on the female modernist body and new strategies of political and aesthetic representation. It is this “visionary body”, that, in many moments, intersects with transcendence. These two kinds of body are also present in Clarice Lispector’s work, structured, of course, around other complexities and gradations, explained by a different temporal context, but still touching common seminal questions. In Lispector, it is through the body cast in social roles that you reach the “visionary body” and transcendence. The movement is not a flight, as in Woolf, on the contrary it is a necessity, a condition to get to the essence.
