Abstract:

The theme of motherhood and mother figures constitutes a core pillar in the novel “David Copperfield”. Relying on the context in which the different deictic expressions of person, social, time and place construct the language used to portray mother figures, a pragma-discoursal study can best fit in the interpretation of literary texts. This article aims at identifying specifically the social deixis mostly used by the mother figures Clara Copperfield, Clara Peggotty and Miss Betsey in Charles Dickens’ novel “David Copperfield” and how they determine mothers’ roles in relation to David’s life fr

Abstract:

No one has ever accused Dickens of being a philosopher. But David Copperfield offers an opportunity for thinking philosophically about naming. Unlike the characters unconscious of their satirical names in Dickens's earlier novels, the characters in David Copperfield feel the tension of naming and explore with the author what their names are for. They find, of course, that the order of names-the hierarchy of terms by which they refer to and address one another-betrays rank and sentiment, power and desire. But they find more than that a name expresses and enforces the will of the namer. Names in

Abstract:

The article describes Russian children’s adaptations of the Charles Dickens novel “David Copperfield”. The purpose of this paper is to find out whether the approach to its translation changed at different historical periods — during the Czarist-era, under the Soviet government and in contemporary Russia. In order to achieve this goal, we have analyzed those “David Copperfield” translations into Russian addressed to the younger audience that are accessible nowadays. The text has been envisaged from the translation studies, as well as philological and culture studies point of view. The study has

Abstract:

Margaret atwood's narrator in Bodily Harm, reminiscing about her childhood, says: “I learned to listen for what wasn't being said, because it was usually more important than what was” (55). Making a similar point, in The History of Sexuality Foucault writes that “There is not one but many silences, and they are an integral part of the strategies that underlie and permeate discourses” (1: 27). If we read David Copperfield in this way — listening to the silences, as well as attending closely to what is being said — the narrative which emerges from the surface bildungsroman is very different from

A la lumière de la notion de mimêsis, principe antique qui a donné naissance aux arts et se situe au fondement de la pratique de la traduction, cette étude se propose d’analyser la traduction de certains traits signifiants du réalisme dickensien, dont l’hybridité esthétique se manifeste dans l’œuvre David Copperfield. Huitième roman de Dickens, cet ouvrage de transition initie la seconde période de la carrière du romancier, orientée vers un style plus conforme à l’esthétique réaliste édictée par le mouvement artistique français de ce temps.

Abstract:

Charles Dickens’s David Copperfield abounds with fatherless and motherless children, whose development into adolescence and adulthood is strongly affected by the parenting skills of the remaining parent. This essay studies different parenting and educational practices in the novel to see their impact on the behaviour and personality of the children. In Victorian England, two opposing views of childhood flourished: the Puritan one believing in childhood depravity, and the Romantic view based on childhood innocence. In addition, there were gender differences in upbringing stemming from the middl

Abstract:

The Prelude and David Copperfield reveal strikingly similar patterns of their heroes' development from boyhood to manhood; the idiosyncrasy of their growth can be found in its retrogressive rather than progressive aspect.

Abstract:

O romance de formação é emblemático do Século das Luzes. Surgido na Europa do século XVIII, o subgênero teve seu apogeu neste e no século XIX, confundindo seu período de maturidade com boa parte da vida do romance moderno antes que o gênero começasse a ser desconstruído. Com o foco centrado no desenvolvimento da vida do protagonista e sua consciente adaptação ao mundo burguês, o Bildungsroman tomou formas semelhantes em vários países — inclusive na poderosa Inglaterra de então. Com seu legado de otimismo humanista, influencia (positiva ou negativamente) toda a literatura posterior. David Coppe

Abstract:

La fiction dickensienne met en scene ce qui permet l'avenement d'un sujet a l'ordre symbolique de la parole. La diegese des trois romans choisis illustre comment le desir vient s'articuler a la loi de l'interdit, lorsqu'un processus de substitution permet a l'innommable de se faire entendre a travers les rets du discours, regulant ainsi le rapport du sujet a l'objet du desir. Notre tache, en tantque lecteur, a consiste a etre a l'ecoute de cette parole venue d'ailleurs, d'etudier le travail d'un texte qui voile et devoile a la fois le desir qu'il tait et l'impuissance a le dire, tout en disant
