Sustaining Tradition with Inspiration from Modernity: Countering Elitism in Teaching Shakespearean Drama
Authors: Fonseka Edirisingha Arachchige Gamini 
Published: November 2022

The tradition of teaching English Literature in most universities round the world has evolved in such a way that a degree programme in English is not considered complete without a component of Shakespearean drama. Yet the poetics and the noetics of the Shakespeare plays written in a 16th Century dialect have become bitter delicacies for most students, as the comprehension and personalization of Shakespeare texts remain an unresolved challenge. The traditional mechanism of teaching Shakespeare texts involves reading the lines with a glossary, comparing the meanings with influential critical interpretations, reflecting on the implications either diachronically or synchronically, and writing unguided essays on topics related to classroom discussions. Most students fail in these activities as they find it difficult to internalize the meanings conveyed by word and action in relation to the historical settings depicted in the plays. Hardly a stage production of a Shakespeare play takes place in their environments to give them an idea about the actual form of it and therefore they are destined to remain totally segregated from Shakespeare. Unfortunately, this turns Shakespeare scholarship into an elitist pastime, and invites undue controversies from students who feel fenced off from the process. In attempting to develop solutions to the problems of teaching Shakespearean drama faced in this way, so much inspiration can be drawn from the numerous cinematic productions of Shakespeare plays. They present not only approximate models for pronouncing the lines but also lively simulations of the persons and situations concerned. Cultural commodities developed in a spirit of modernity prove effective only if they preserve the essence of tradition. There are numerous films on Shakespeare, very articulate in this sense. Therefore, using a series of exemplars developed on Shakespeare’s Othello, this article demonstrates how inspiration can be drawn from modernity in countering elitism in teaching Shakespeare.
A Phenomenological take on the Problem of Reification
Authors: Bell Jr Wade A 
Published: November 2022

This article attempts to provide a new look at an old idea within Marxist discourse. Reification, as first imagined by Marx and later Lukacs, describes a process by which capitalism transforms human beings and social relations into things. Although the concept has been subjected to much abstraction and reinvention over the years, this article attempts to address a foundational problem that has remained unsolved since its inception: Close analysis reveals that the concept of reification has never been developed to include an example of an alternative or non-reified state of being. To solve this foundational problem, I look beyond Marxism and to the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. For Merleau-Ponty, the body is our primary vehicle for being-in-the-world, but what makes his philosophy unique is his emphasis on embodied subjectivity, as well as his dialectical conception of corporeality and being-in-the-world. From this view, the social and material worlds can best be understood as dynamic realms of intersubjectivity, while sentient beings always exist as subjects prior to the reifying effects of capitalism. Building upon an ongoing dialectic between the ideas of Marx, Lukacs, Merleau-Ponty and others, I will ultimately reframe the concept of reification as a objectifying tendency, precipitating from capitalism’s ability to obscure the lived experience of the phenomenal body.
Traduzione e ricezione delle scrittrici italiane del Novecento in Svezia. Alle soglie dell’immortalità letteraria
Authors: Dahl Karin Ingrid Eva 
Published: November 2022

Studying the translations in Swedish language of Italian twentieth century women writers, one is astonished by the randomness and the incompleteness. It is often the case of single translations published almost haphazardly and with lack of consistency when it comes to follow up the work of an author. Despite favorable critics, despite a Nobel Prize, the Italian women writers of the twentieth century have never really been established in Sweden. Except for a brief period, Elsa Morante and Natalia Ginzburg. Only the works of the latter could in theory rise to the status of a classic of in the mind of Swedish readers. This is not the case, however, of books by Grazia Deledda, which after a very successful period around the Nobel Prize in the twenties, have disappeared from the shelves of bookstores and libraries. It is as if these authors have fallen into some gray area of literature, almost an intangible cemetery for forgotten novels and old translations.
This work represents the first outcome of a mapping of the publishing of Italian women twentieth century writers in Sweden. Hence, the interest is also to publish a bibliography hitherto unedited of these authors in Swedish language translation.
Die Vermittlung von Lesestrategien und ihr Einfluss auf den Strategiegebrauch
Authors: Sönmez Genç Nurcihan , Cigdem Ünal Dalim 
Published: November 2022

In dem folgenden Beitrag wird eine Untersuchung zum Einfluss eines expliziten Strategietrainings auf den Lesestrategiegebrauch von Lehramtsstudierenden des Deutschen als Fremdsprache an der Hacettepe Universität vorgestellt. Insofern wird ein Instruktionsmodell zum expliziten Trainieren von Lesestrategien präsentiert. Entsprechend dieses Modells wurden Unterrichtskonzepte erstellt und unter der Teilnahme von 35 Studierenden im Rahmen eines Studienfaches der Deutschlehrerausbildung angewendet. Um den Einfluss des expliziten Trainings auf den Strategiegebrauch zu untersuchen, wurden vor und nach der Durchführung des Strategietrainings der von Oxford et. al. (2004) entwickelte Fragebogen Reading Strategy Questionnaire und ein Set von Arbeitsblättern eingesetzt.
Zur Auswertung der quantitativen Daten des Fragebogens werden die Mittelwerte ausgerechnet und gepaarte t-Tests durchgeführt. Für die Auswertung der qualitativen Daten der Arbeitsblättersets wird ein Auswertungskonzept genutzt, mit dem der faktische Gebrauch von sechs Lesestrategien analysiert wird. Aus der Analyse dieser miteinander triangulierten Daten geht hervor, dass ein statistisch belegbarer positiver Zusammenhang zwischen dem expliziten Training und dem Strategiegebrauch vorhanden ist. Gemäß den Ergebnissen liegt nach der Durchführung des Strategietrainings sowohl ein noch frequenter als auch adäquater Gebrauch von Lesestrategien vor.
British landscapes in the works of Maria Ondina Braga and Jorge de Sena: Issues of Identity in Crossing Borders
Authors: Gago Dora Nunes 
Published: November 2022

This article analyses the relationship between descriptions of English landscape and the configuration of the narrators’ identity in the works of two Portuguese writers: Maria Ondina Braga’s Estátua de Sal (Pillar of Salt, 1969) and Jorge de Sena’s Inglaterra Revisitada (England Revisited, 1986). We will focus on how the narrators’ views are reflected in the landscapes described, and how the image of the “other” relates to the constantly evolving identitary universes of the narrators.
A Rainha Ginga – o queer não se deixa colonizar
Authors: Ferreira Helena , Ferreira Aline 
Published: November 2022

A Rainha Ginga, romance histórico de José Eduardo Agualusa conta a história de uma rainha africana que ultrapassou todas as fronteiras que lhe eram impostas e que se reinventou numa nova forma de existência. Tendo-lhe sido dada voz, por ocupar o lugar hierárquico supremo na sociedade angolana, esta mulher/subalterna demonstrou que esta mesma voz estava impregnada pelos discursos dos que criaram a subalternidade e exibiu uma voz híbrida, composta por um lado, pelo seu desejo de emancipação e por outro, pelos vários valores e fundamentações que produziram a sua opressão. Partindo dos trabalhos de académicas que reflectem sobre os estudos queer e os estudos feministas pretende-se, através desta obra, explorar a “desidentificação” vivenciada pela rainha Ginga, que ocupou um lugar de resistência na história angolana.
Mediating Poetry in the ESL Classroom: A Study of Swedish ESL Textbooks for Junior High School
Authors: Käck Elin 
Published: November 2022

This article situates the ESL textbook within current scholarship on intermediality and multimodality and, with poetry as the main focus, considers how the media ecology within the covers of the ESL textbook, as well as that implied outside those covers, e.g. web pages, workbooks, audio files and so on, affects the literary text. This qualitative study of how poetry figures in the Swedish ESL textbook series Wings 7, 8, and 9 analyses the case of Emily Dickinson’s poem “I heard a Fly buzz – when I died,” included in Wings 9, at length to uncover the rich textual web of which a poem in a textbook forms part, as well as the resources it asks learners to mobilize in the emergent event of classroom learning.
The inclusion of poems in ESL textbooks typically requires no editorial interventions in terms of abridgement, which makes this genre useful for considering the implications of the medium on the text itself. Poems in ESL textbooks continuously interact with other texts, themes, images and tasks within the textbook. Thus, the medium of the textbook has a transformative effect on the original literary texts it comprises.
La correspondance entre coordination copulative et disjonctive dans un corpus parallèle suédois-français
Authors: Ramnäs Mårten 
Published: November 2022

Dans la présente étude, nous nous proposons d’analyser les exemples où une conjonction copulative correspond à une conjonction disjonctive ou l’inverse (och ↔ ou, et ↔ eller) dans un corpus parallèle suédois-français, le CPSF (Kortteinen et Ramnäs 2002). L’analyse nous montre que cette équivalence s’explique par deux phénomènes de nature différente : soit les éléments coordonnés se réfèrent à un groupe de participants ou d’événements susceptible de neutraliser la différence entre interprétations exclusive et inclusive, soit la coordination apparaît dans un contexte monotone-décroissant ou modal caractérisé, lui aussi, par une certaine interchangeabilité entre conjonction copulative et disjonctive. L’analyse nous montre aussi que le suédois semble préférer une coordination avec och dans certains contextes où le français se sert plus volontiers de ou. En effet, nous constatons que och se laisse bien plus souvent traduire par ou (182 occurrences) que et ne se laisse traduire par eller (12 occurrences).
La construcción <artículo indefinido + posesivo + sustantivo> en el español de Guatemala
Authors: Gutiérrez-Rodríguez Edita 
Published: November 2022

En este artículo estudiamos la construcción de <artículo indefinido + posesivo + sustantivo> en español guatemalteco. En primer lugar, diferenciamos dos empleos del posesivo desde el punto de vista gramatical. Uno que indica posesión, o posesivo canónico; y otro, que no tiene significado posesivo y aporta un significado valorativo, que denominamos posesivo enfático. El resto de los valores semántico-pragmáticos que se reconocen en la bibliografía se pueden asociar a estos dos empleos gramaticales básicos del posesivo. Cuando el posesivo expresa posesión (entendida en sentido amplio) funciona como un adjetivo posnominal o complemento genitivo del sustantivo que contribuye a la intensión del sintagma y favorece por ello la lectura específica. Por eso, los sintagmas con el posesivo canónico introducen referentes discursivos que frecuentemente se retoman en el discurso posterior. Este posesivo se emplea sobre todo con sustantivos con el rasgo [+humano], aunque su uso se está extendiendo a los sustantivos inanimados. El posesivo enfático, en cambio, no funciona como un adjetivo restrictivo y, por ello, el sintagma encabezado por el artículo indefinido da lugar por igual a lecturas específicas e inespecíficas; incluso en ocasiones la construcción equivale en su significado y distribución sintáctica a un sintagma nominal escueto. Tras analizar los valores semánticos asociados a los dos tipos de posesivos, hemos esbozado un análisis formal para ellos. Siguiendo a Eguren (2018), hemos propuesto que el posesivo enfático se origina directamente en las capas funcionales más altas de la proyección nominal, lo que explica que no establezca una relación complemento-núcleo con el sustantivo. En cambio, el posesivo canónico se origina en la parte intensional del sintagma y sube hasta la proyección que se encuentra inmediatamente por debajo de D, la misma posición que ocupa el posesivo en italiano o en catalán.
L’enseignement de la notion linguistique de symbole à l’aide des symboles culturels pour un public FLE
Authors: Hasan Kandeel Rana , Bedjaoui Wafa , Mansi Faten 
Published: November 2022

Cet article a pour objectif de décrire une démarche de didactisation de la notion de symbole dans un contexte de français langue étrangère (FLE). Dans le cadre d’un module de linguistique qui fait partie d’une formation en traduction, les enseignantes ont rencontré des difficultés à faire comprendre des notions telles que « le symbole » à leurs apprenantes arabophones. Il a donc fallu adapter l’enseignement du concept en mettant en oeuvre des activités sur les représentations culturelles. Cette méthode a aidé les étudiantes à assimiler le concept abstrait de symbole et à acquérir une méthodologie de travail pour l’appréhender. Nous y revenons ici en trois temps. Dans la première partie, nous présentons le cadre théorique qui replace la notion de symbole dans sa relation avec la culture. Nous explorons ensuite les spécificités socio-culturelles et pédagogiques du contexte d’étude, et les difficultés de l’enseignement de la notion en cours de linguistique. Dans la dernière partie, nous mettons en lumière les démarches didactiques mises en oeuvre par les enseignantes de français dans un cours de linguistique pour faciliter l’apprentissage de la notion de symbole.
This article aims to analyze a didactic approach to teach the linguistic concept of symbol in a context of French as a foreign language (FFL). The teachers who taught the linguistics courses found it difficult to inculcate concepts such as symbol to Arabic-speaking learners enrolled in a translation specialization. Therefore, they had to change the way of teaching the concept through the implementation of activities about cultural representations in FFL classes. This method helped the students to assimilate the abstract concept of symbol and to acquire a method to apprehend them. Our article is divided into three parts. In the first part, we present the theoretical framework based on the concept of symbol and its relationship with culture. Then, we proceed to the description of the socio-cultural as well as pedagogical characteristics of our context of study and we analyze the difficulties of teaching symbols. In the last part, we highlight the didactic approaches implemented by French teachers in a linguistics course to facilitate the learning of the concept of symbol, through the learning of French symbols by giving concrete examples from French culture.
Le roman (post)migratoire en tant que « roman spatial » : le(s) rôle(s) de l’espace dans Il ne portait pas de chandail d’Annick Walachniewicz
Authors: Szczur Przemysław 
Published: November 2022

L’auteur de l’article propose une analyse du roman Il ne portait pas de chandail de l’auteure belge contemporaine Annick Walachniewicz à travers la notion de « roman spatial ». Il souligne ainsi l’utilité de la perspective spatiale pour rendre compte de la spécificité de la littérature (post)migratoire. Dans le roman analysé, l’espace joue un rôle structurant tant au niveau du discours que de l’histoire. L’on y remarque une spatialisation de la composition et de la lecture romanesques. Les personnages, y compris la représentation de leur psychologie, sont également spatialisés.
Quant à l’espace, il est narrativisé dans la mesure où il reste dans une relation intime avec l’intrigue à laquelle c’est principalement le trajet migratoire du père de l’héroïne-narratrice qui sert de principe dynamique. Au-delà de la dimension référentielle de l’œuvre, le style poétique qui y domine pourvoit les éléments spatiaux représentés d’une dimension symbolique.
En termes géo-nationaux, c’est le territoire polonais qui y joue un rôle particulièrement important car il renferme le secret du père de l’héroïne-narratrice qui se trouve à la source du récit. Bien que la division fondamentale qui organise l’espace représenté dans le roman soit celle entre l’Est et l’Ouest européens, l’héroïne narratrice raconte aussi ses tentatives de dépasser cette dichotomie.
The author of the article offers an analysis of the novel Il ne portait pas de chandail by contemporary Belgian author Annick Walachniewicz through the notion of "spatial novel". He thus underlines the usefulness of the spatial perspective to account for the specificity of (post)migration literature. In the analysed novel, space plays a structuring role in terms of both discourse and history. We notice a spatialization of the composition and the reading of the novel. The characters, including the representation of their psychology, are also spatialized.
As for the space, it is narrativized insofar as it remains in an intimate relationship with the plot in which it is mainly the migratory path of the father of the narrator-heroine that serves as a dynamic principle. Beyond the referential dimension of the book, the poetic style that dominates it provides the represented spatial elements with a symbolic dimension.
In geo-national terms, it is the Polish territory that plays a particularly important role because it contains the secret of the father of the narrator-heroine who lies at the source of the story. Although the fundamental division that organizes the space represented in the novel is that between Eastern and Western Europe, the narrator-heroine also recounts her attempts to overcome this
Satzwertige Partizipien in schwedischer Übersetzung. Ein sprachliches Mittel im Dienste des Erzählens
Authors: Henriksson Henrik 
Published: November 2022

Im Artikel wird eine Untersuchung zur Übersetzung satzwertiger Partizipialkonstruktionen vom Deutschen ins Schwedische präsentiert. Es geht um unflektierte Partizipialphrasen wie in München angekommen (mit dem Partizip Perfekt) bzw. gegen den Wind kämpfend (mit dem Partizip Präsens).
Auch wenn sich ein propositionaler Inhalt in beiden Sprachen sowohl durch einen vollständigen Satz als auch durch eine Satzentsprechung – z.B. eine Partizipialkonstruktion – realisieren lässt, weisen das Deutsche und das Schwedische z.T. unterschiedliche Präferenzen diesbezüglich auf. Dabei ist die Annahme plausibel, dass die Wahl des sprachlichen Mittels Konsequenzen für die Informationsstrukturierung und die Abbildung von Diskursrelationen und somit auch für das „Erzählen“ haben kann. So scheint eine Partizipialkonstruktion u.a. dafür geeignet, hintergründige Information sowie Diskursrelationen abzubilden, die je nach theoretischem Rahmen als Subordination oder als Satellit bezeichnet werden können. Im Artikel erfolgt dabei anhand ausgewählter Beispiele eine kritische Analyse der möglichen Konsequenzen einer anderen Übersetzungsstrategie als einer Partizipialkonstruktion. Im deskriptiven Teil der Studie wird dabei ein Überblick über typisch verwendete Übersetzungsstrategien schwedischer Übersetzer geboten, der durch eine Diskussion möglicher Korrelationen zwischen der Wahl einer bestimmten Übersetzungsstrategie und der Position bzw. der syntaktischen und diskursrelationalen Funktion der Partizipialkonstruktion ergänzt wird.
Als Korpus dienen populärwissenschaftliche und journalistische Texte mit deutlich narrativen Abschnitten, bei denen angenommen werden kann, dass sprachspezifische Gebrauchsnormen zum Vorschein kommen.
Una lectura postpornográfica de Roberto Bolaño: escritura, feminismo y postcolonialismo
Authors: Hernández Rodríguez Josué 
Published: November 2022

La proliferación de movimientos críticos y creativos postporno, que reivindican la representación de las sexualidades disidentes bajo una nueva perspectiva feminista, queer y transgénero, proporcionan herramientas de análisis para repensar las producciones pornográficas literarias y audiovisuales pretéritas, así como para reformular las actuales. En esta línea de investigación intermedial, entre el cine y la literatura, se plantea una aproximación a la obra del escritor chileno Roberto Bolaño que permita discernir si se le puede considerar un autor postporno emparentado con la Edad Dorada del cine pornográfico de los años 70 y 80. Se estudiarán dos de sus relatos y una novela: “Joanna Silvestri”, del que se hará una lectura de género que problematiza el papel de la mujer dentro de una industria eminentemente heteronormativa, obsesionada con representar la eyaculación masculina; “Prefiguración de Lalo Cura”, analizada bajo una perspectiva postcolonial de apropiación de los cuerpos subalternos concebidos como territorios geográficos, y Una novelita lumpen, en el ámbito de la pedagogía del porno. Los hallazgos resultantes permiten establecer que efectivamente Roberto Bolaño puede considerarse un autor postporno al trasladar las propuestas narrativas del cine porno de la Edad Dorada a su propio proyecto literario, con una intención crítica feminista y postcolonial.
The proliferation of critical and creative post-porn movements, which vindicate the representation of dissident sexualities under a new feminist, queer and transgender perspective, provide tools of analysis to rethink past literary and audiovisual pornographic productions, as well as to reformulate current ones. In this line of intermediate research, between cinema and literature, an approach to the work of Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño is proposed that will allow us to discern whether he can be considered a post-porn author related to the Golden Age of pornographic cinema in the 1970s and 1980s. Two of his stories and a novel will be studied: “Joanna Silvestri”, from which a gender reading will be made that problematizes the role of women within an eminently heteronormative industry, obsessed with representing male ejaculation; “Prefiguración de Lalo Cura”, analyzed under a postcolonial perspective of appropriation of subaltern bodies conceived as geographical territories, and Una novelita lumpen, in the field of porn pedagogy. The resulting findings make it possible to establish that Roberto Bolaño can indeed be considered a post-porn author by translating the narrative proposals of the Golden Age porn films into his own literary project, with a feminist and post-colonial critical intention.
