Shin, Jisun. "The impact of translated Harry Potter on children’s fantasy literature system in South Korea." FORUM / Revue internationale d’interprétation et de traduction / International Journal of Interpretation and Translation 18, no. 1 (June 16, 2020): 68–85. http://dx.doi.org/10.1075/forum.19020.shi.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract This study examined the impact of translated Harry Potter series on Korea’s literature system, adopting Even-Zohar’s polysystem theory. Literature review shows that (1) discourses on children’s fantasy literature increased; (2) the number of the country’s original children’s fantasy books apparently inspired by Harry Potter rose; (3) the country’s discourses about children’s fantasy literature began to focus more on its own originals and their distinctive features. This indicates that translated Harry Potter moved to the centre in Korea’s children’s literary system. And this is mainly attributed to the weakness of the country’s fantasy literature system. This research is based on Even-Zohar’s polysystem theory which is considered an effective framework to describe the dynamic and competitive interplay between systems, and it is significant as the first attempt to explain the rise of translated fantasy children’s books in Korea’s children’s literature system in the wake of the sweeping popularity of translated Harry Potter.

Full textAbstract:
This is a thematic study of Harry Potter (1997-2007) concerning the theme of alienation. Joanne Rowling is a British novelist famous for writing her best-known fantasy book series, Harry Potter (1997-2007). This study argues that Rowling employs fantastical elements in Harry Potter to present symbolic and real-life themes that summon the postcolonial discourse of alienation. In addition, the study aims to raise the role of fantasy in serving Humanity and the dignity of people and understanding the conflicts among the members of society. Moreover, this study investigates how racial discrimination and postcolonialism work against the Humanity of heroes and their companions in their community. Therefore, that relationship causes a realistic commentary on real-life situations. The theoretical platform deployed in this study is a postcolonial perspective that purports to grasp the striking overlaps between the theme of alienation and the insights of the racial and social postcolonial discourse. The findings achieved in this paper prove the juxtaposition between alienation on the one hand and racial and social discrimination on the other hand. The researcher seeks to demonstrate that Harry Potter reflects the suffering and alienation of characters.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article focuses specifically on two examples of fantasy stories and their translations into Russian: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (Lewis 1950), a classic English fantasy story, and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (Rowling 1997), a modern blending of fantasy with the traditional English school story. The analysis shows that the approach to translation is largely random. In the translations of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, there is some evidence of simplification as a strategy, and some confusion over the appropriate translation of cultural items in the translations of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Generally, however, the translators are shown not to have attempted to situate the stories in a Russian context, and have retained intact both the cultural backdrop and the moral values put forward in the works. A study of the reception of such works by young readers would provide valuable information about the success or failure of the translations discussed in this article.

Arab World English Journal 12, no. 3 (September 15, 2021): 294–307. http://dx.doi.org/10.24093/awej/vol12no3.20.
Full textAbstract:
The paper is focused on stylistic features of English fantasy texts. The research materials include four fantasy novels written by British and American authors of the late 20th century: Jordan’s The Eye of the World, Martin’s A Game of Thrones, Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The research question of the study lies in need to systematize expressive means and stylistic devices used in the texts and distinguish the common stylistic features of English fantasy texts. To do this, the researchers implement the notion of a stylistic portrait of English fantasy text, and the main aim of the paper is to provide its definition and description. The study employed the complex of linguistic research methods, including analysis and generalization of theoretical sources, contextual analysis and the elements of quantitative analysis of linguistic units used in the texts. Based on three essential aspects of a stylistic portrait, the paper shows that the English fantasy texts are characterized by the dominance of expressive means and stylistic devices at the syntactic level of language. In addition, the researchers identified the most productive stylistically marked linguistic units at each level of language correlated with the semantic field within which they functioned, and studied connotative dominants in these texts.

Full textAbstract:
The Harry Potter saga, written by the British writer J.K. Rowling, has gained accredited attention worldwide, thus being translated in more than 64 languages, including Albanian, and selling more than 450 million copies. The saga combines a variety of genres, fantasy being the most predominant one. The magical elements in the fantasy genre are portrayed with a delicate choice of words on the part of the writer, encompassing neologisms, Latinisms and French-rooted words which name the objects, events, behaviors of the imaginary world, to mention a few. The present paper aims to investigate how these features are rendered into Albanian so that the effect of the source text is preserved in the target text. The first three Harry Potter novels will constitute the corpus of our study. Such an investigation will be possible through the conduction of a comparative analysis illustrated with examples which will theoretically be based on the translation procedures and strategies offered by scholars in the discipline of translation studies. Two approaches will be utilized as far as analysis is concerned: following Axiela’s division of culture specific items in two groups – common expressions and proper nouns - Finally, conclusions will be drawn regarding the transfer of the similar effect of the magic-related terms from the source text to the target text.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the issue of politics and hegemony in Harry Potter, a fantasy series by British author J. K. Rowling. The work is apparently coded with class systems and hierarchy in its society, and how it can be seen as a reflection of real-life society. It explores how the ruling group tries to keep the power only on the hands of the few by inserting their views and ideologies to their people, and thus resulting into a certain status quo that the ruling group finds desirable. The seven novels of Harry Potter are analysed through Marxist perspective using Antonio Gramsci’s theory of Cultural Hegemony, in which the people in power impose and spread their ideas to those below them as a way to control them. It is concluded that the series also involves criticisms on class domination, corruption on power, and rebellion.

Full textAbstract:
The heritage film is generally considered to be a less commercial form of film-making, one which eschews populism for ‘quality’. This article seeks to question the distinctions drawn between the heritage film and more commercial film franchises by examining the links between the conventions of heritage cinema and the Harry Potter films. Bringing together scholarship on the heritage film, the Harry Potter series and film genre, the article considers these productions in the light of their themes, with the political or class-centred aspects of the narrative examined in relation both to the visual display and to Andrew Higson's early critique of the heritage film. The article argues for different associations of heritage iconography in contemporary film-making from the initial criticisms of heritage cinema made by Higson. Details of the visual style of the Harry Potter films are also considered in relation to the allegedly typical characteristics of the heritage film. Ultimately, the article argues for the success of this film cycle being due to the incorporation of genre characteristics from both the heritage film and the fantasy genre and suggests that because of the increased prevalence of generic hybridity it is time that we began to reconceptualise the heritage film and its associated audiences.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCrossover fantasy series such as Harry Potter (Rowling, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2003), designed to appeal to readers of all ages, have received much popular and critical attention. Series like His Dark Materials (Pullman, 1995, 1997, 2000), more sophisticated and complex than Rowling's, have benefited from Harry Potter's press. In Rowling, nonhuman animals play roles but are not foregrounded. They are not central to action or theme or, in any sense, developed characters. Pullman's books foreground nonhumans and develop their characters. His three novels, however, belong to their human protagonists. In the worlds of true Crossover Animal Fantasy Series such as The Wolves of Time and The Duncton Trilogies (Horwood, 1997, 1989), the novels belong to their nonhuman protagonists. This review essay suggests how understanding the characteristics of Crossover Animal Fantasy Series enhances readers' imaginative grasp of the lives of other species. The best of these series cross cultural, species, and age boundaries, and are an unsung force in bringing about a paradigm shift that will affect our cultural perception of nonhumans.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe way that nonhuman animals and other nonhuman sentient beings are portrayed in the Christian-based Harry Potter series, C. S. Lewis's Narnia series, and Tolkien's Middle Earth stories is discussed from a Christian animal liberationist perspective.Middle Earth comes closest to a liberationist ideal, in that vegetarianism is connected with themes of power, healing, and spirituality. Narnia could be described as a more enlightened welfarist society where extremes of animal cruelty are frowned upon, but use of animals for food is acceptable. In contrast, the more recent Harry Potter series portrays a less enlightened attitude toward human and nonhuman animals. Animals are treated merely as ends, vegetarianism is unheard of, and the view that even iconic species have intrinsic worth is ridiculed.

The following article examines the ways of translation of anthroponyms from English to Russian in fantasy fiction and computer games. The purpose of the study is to analyze and compare the anthroponyms translation variants in the literary text. In the following article works of Russian and foreign scientists in the context of anthroponimics were used, the usage of classification models was taken up, comparative analysis and functional analysis were used. The following study can be used in textbooks, in the process of translation and localization of fantasy fiction and computer games. The research material involves translations of anthroponyms of fantasy literature cycles (Harry Potter, The Song of Ice and Fire, The Lord of the Rings) and fantasy role-playing computer game "World of Warcraft". Particular patterns of anthroponyms translation were shown in terms of early and modern translations.

Abstract Most characters in fantasy novels seem to be irresistibly drawn towards the world of magic, whether they can actually reach it or not. This paper deals with the special situations of Susan Pevensie in C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia and Petunia Dursley in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. Having had contact with magic, these two women find the strength to renounce dreaming about a reality that has closed its doors to them and build a “normal” functional life for themselves.

Full textAbstract:
Because of the current fantasy trend to represent lycanthropy as a genetically inherited or inborn feature, with werewolves frequently belonging to werewolf families and/or packs, many contemporary narratives for children and young adults encourage readings of lycanthropy as a metaphor for racial or ethnic difference. Diverse representations of lycanthropy, from monstrous and sympathetic werewolves to benevolent and idealised werewolves, non-essentialist werewolves, and incommensurable werewolves thus suggest shifting conceptions of race and ethnicity. The divergent ideological implications of these distinctive werewolf schemata are analysed in a variety of contemporary children's and young adult fantasy texts, including Maggie Pearson's Owl Light ( 1996 ), Annette Curtis Klause's Blood and Chocolate ( 1997 ), Patrick Jennings's The Wolving Time ( 2003 ), J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series (1997–2007), and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series (2005–8).

Have you ever thought of making visible things invisible, just like the Harry Potter? Have you ever thought how does one supersede backgrounds and add effects in a movie? The cloak was magical and invisible in Harry Potter, the movie. As we know there is no magic and no invisible cloak which exists in the world. It’s all about the graphicstricks. The concept of an invisibility cloak is a mixture of science, fantasy, and the collective imagination. This paper helps to create one’s own ‘Invisibility Cloak’.It will make use of Python and OpenCV module specifically targeting Image Processing and Image Segmentation to create a false sense of invisibility in the frame. It will explore how an object of a specific color or texture can be manipulated using the OpenCV library of python. To achieve this, initially we’ll be capturing and storing the backdrop frame . Thereafter we’ll be identifying the red coloured fabric by making use of the above mentioned algorithms. Then we’ll segment out the red colored fabric by generating a mask and then finallywe’ll generate the final augmented(magical) output to create Invisibility cloak. These steps are discussed deeper in thepaper.

It has been established that while creatingthe onomastic space of the cycle the author draws parallels with J. Rowling’s novelsabout Harry Potter and forms onyms – occasionalisms based on the precedent names(folk, mythological, religious, literary, and historical), foreign language vocabulary,phraseology, etc. The desire to comprehend the author’s intention and to understand thecharacteristics presented in onyms not only motivates readers to expand their horizon,but also engages them in cross-cultural communication.

Full textAbstract:
Despite its phenomenal success, and in some cases because of it, J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series has provoked unease in some readers on both aesthetic and ideological grounds. This essay seeks to supplement the important contribution of scholars like John Pennington, Suman Gupta, Elizabeth Teare, Jack Zipes, Elaine Ostry and Michael Ostling by foregrounding what I see as a still under-examined issue: Rowling's decision not to install her wizards and witches in a distinct secondary world. I argue for a systematic connection between this key narratological option and Rowling's conflicted ideological commitments across the seven books. The lack of a self-coherent fantasy realm, I suggest, leads Rowling into severe pragmatic confusion on several fronts, with a host of ideological as well as narrative anomalies arising symptomatically to trouble her text.

This study aims to find out the types and the most dominant illocutionary acts used by the main character in a fantasy movie, ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret’. A descriptive qualitative study was done by observing the utterances spoken by the main character in the movie. The spoken utterances were then analysed based on the types of illocutionary acts, namely: representative, directive, commissive, expressive and declarative. The results of the study showed that out of the five, only four types of illocutionary acts were found in the movie, they are representative, directive, expressive, and commissive. The most frequently illocutionary act used is directive (47.64%), while the least frequently used is commissive (4.19%). The directive forces used by the main character are varied. Directives are used get the hearers to do something, where in the movie, he often used asking and ordering. Meanwhile, declarative is not employed by the main character since performing declarative act needs authorities and status; this act is used to change the world through utterances. But the main character in this movie do not have any certain status or authority in any position at the magic school he attended, he is a student, still new with the magic world and do not have much power. This is why declarative was not found in the utterances of the main character.

This article describes the core structure of one of the most important concepts in the series of novels by J. K. Rowling «Harry Potter», the concept «witch» and its corresponding concept in the Russian language, the concept «ведьма». Both of these concepts are extremely important for the majority of fantasy pieces of literature, they contribute to the authentic worldview. The model of the author’s concept «witch» is conveyed with the help of the analyses of verbalization of the concept in the original text. The invariant features of the concept are identified by comparing the models of traditional and author’s concepts, as well as the unique markers of the author’s concept. The most common transformations and techniques used by translators are highlighted through the comparative analyses of two variants of translation of the same novel. This also shows the ways that were used to verbalize the English concepts in Russian translation.

Full textAbstract:
In 2008-2018, the Polish market of young readers’ books was subject to various fluctuations related to economic determinants, demogra-phy and changing cultural trends or fashions. The dynamics of sales was determined by best-selling fantasy series coming mainly from the Anglo-Saxon literature. Although Harry Potter was not followed by an equally successful novel cycle, the main elements of its marketing strategy have been duplicated and continued. An important reinforce-ment of the message was the screening of a particular plot, and thus its multiplication in various media channels. Fantasy themes often re-ferring to the elements of horror, Gothic novels, and even dystopian thrillers dominated. Generic syncretism and even various formal ex-periments in the spirit of deconstruction have become characteristic of the contemporary youth book market. In contrast, the list of awards of the Polish section of the IBBY stands in opposition to this trend, which promoted, in the overwhelming majority, novels of morals na-ture, addressing difficult and controversial problems of adolescence, interpersonal relationships, otherness, etc. In this context, we can ob-serve a change in the values promoted and a transition from an edu-cative normative system to glorifying freedom and tolerance towards a wide range of behaviors and attitudes.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines the cultural maps of Eastern European nations drawn by Philip Pullman in His Dark Materials trilogy, Jonathan Stroud in The Bartimaeus Trilogy and J. K. Rowling in the Harry Potter series. I argue that each of those authors, in subtle and unintentional ways, perpetuates Western politico-cultural superiority in regard to Eastern Europeans. One reason for this may be that Pullman, Stroud and Rowling share a specifically British cultural attitude of regarding the continent as alien and incomprehensible. This perspective is part of a fuzzy cluster of notions, seemingly widespread across Europe, which comprise what Lawrence J. Sharpe calls ‘an East-West continuum of cultural one-upmanship’ (309). As the most westerly people on this continuum, so the explanation goes, the British tend to look down on everyone else to the East. My focus in this article is on how these attitudes are communicated in some of the most internationally popular British fantasy series of the recent years.

Full textAbstract:
In today’s economy, consumers demand experiences. From Star Wars to Harry Potter, fans do not just want to watch or read about their favorite characters— they want to be them. They don the robes of Gryffindor, flick their wands, and drink the butterbeer. The owners of fantasy properties understand this, expanding their offerings from light sabers to the Galaxy’s Edge®, the new Disney Star Wars immersive theme park opening in 2019.Since Star Wars, Congress and the courts have abetted what is now a $262 billion-a-year industry in merchandising, fashioning “merchandising rights” appurtenant to copyrights and trademarks that give fantasy owners exclusive rights to supply our fantasy worlds with everything from goods to a good time. But are there any limits? Do merchandising rights extend to fan activity, from fantasy-themed birthday parties and summer camps to real world Quidditch leagues? This Article challenges the conventional account, arguing that as the economic value of fantasy merchandising increases in the emergent “experience economy,” intellectual property owners may prove less keen on tolerating uncompensated uses of their creations. In fact, from Amazon’s Kindle Worlds granting licenses for fan fiction, to crackdowns on sales of fan art sold on internet sites like Etsy, to algorithms taking down fan videos from YouTube, the holders of intellectual property in popular fantasies are seeking to create a world requiring licenses to make, do, and play. This Article turns to social and cultural theories of art as experience, learning by doing, tacit knowledge, and performance to demonstrate that fan activity, from discussion sites to live-action role-playing fosters learning, creativity, and sociability. Law must be attentive to the profound effects these laws have on human imagination and knowledge creation. I apply the insights of these theories to limit merchandising rights in imaginative play through fair use, the force in the legal galaxy intended to bring balance to intellectual property law.

Abstract Some American science fiction and fantasy (SF&F) female fans participate in Cosplay or costume play, the global practice of dressing in costume and performing fictional characters from popular culture. Cosplay is typically only socially sanctioned at conventions and other fan events, leaving fans searching for new ways to express their fandom in everyday life. Closet cosplay is one solution in which everyday clothing and accessories can be worn to express fandom. The motivations for wearing everyday fan fashion have been only briefly mentioned by other authors or studied within limited social contexts. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to explore SF&F female fans' participation in closet cosplay as it is worn in everyday contexts. An exploratory qualitative study was conducted using a social interactionist perspective, and Sarah Thornton's concept of subcultural capital and Pierre Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital. Semi-structured, online interviews were conducted with sixteen participants who wore closet cosplay related to SF&F films and/or television series, which included Star Wars, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Disney films, Harry Potter and anime fandoms like Sailor Moon (1995‐2000). The interview data were analysed using NVivo qualitative analysis software and the constant comparison method. Two themes emerged from the data: the definition of closet cosplay and motivations for wearing closet cosplay. Through examining these themes, it was evident that female SF&F fans used closet cosplay to express a salient fan identity, which enabled them to simultaneously gain subcultural capital and feminized cultural capital.

The article examines the current situation in the modern Russian net-literature, where, along with the predominance of romantic fantasy and theso-called Lit-RPG (stories based on computer role-playing games), there is a rise of fan fiction, i. e. amateur fiction based on milestones (literary and cinematic — books, films, TV series, anime, computer games, etc.) of popular culture. As a special subgenre of amateur creativity, fan fiction has emerged in the English-speaking culture in the 1930s, then the emergence of the Internet has contributed to its spread and further development, and in the 1999-2000s a Russian-speaking segment of fan fiction has been formed, significant in volume and diverse in topics. This work examines the genesis of this kind of neterature and reveals the post-folklore nature of modern fan fiction, defines fan fiction as a specific phenomenon of modern popular culture, characterizes the peculiarities of fan fiction as a subject of scientific research, and provides some quantitative characteristics of the corpus of Russian-language fan fiction. The article presents outlines and prospects for further study.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This article discusses the nexus of religion and media on the basis of an analysis of one example of religion in popular culture: the expansion of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series in the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2001) and the subsequent film by the same title connected to the book (directed by David Yates, screenplay by J.K. Rowling 2016). I present a study of religion-based, media-focused approach to film analysis that distinguishes between verbal and non-verbal aspects of mediation. The analysis treats the mediation of religion – traditional religion, magic and monstrous beings – in the film, as well as the mediality of the film. The analysis shows that the film forms part of a broader trend that portrays traditional religion as ossified and authoritative, while magic, monsters and green religion are represented as fascinating and attractive. Moreover, I argue that the mediality of the film sustains a blurring of boundaries between worlds in terms of the film-internal world structure, in terms of the diegetic vs. the afilmic world, and in terms of the hu-man vs. the nonhuman world. The key argument of the article is that pop-cultural me-dia constitute an important arena for religion, as media such as fantasy films both re-flect and form religious transformations today. This arena needs more attention in the study of religion.
DANSK RESUME: Denne artikel diskuterer religion og medier ud fra en analyse af et eksempel på religion i populærkultur, nemlig en videreudvikling relateret til J.K. Row-lings Harry Potter univers: udgivelsen af bogen Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2001), en bog der er fiktivt indlejret som undervisningsbog på Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, og den senere filmatisering der knytter sig til bo-gen, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (instrueret af David Yates, screenplay af J.K. Rowling 2016). Artiklen præsenterer en religionsvidenskabelig, mediefokuseret tilgang til filmanalyse, der inkluderer både verbale og non-verbale medierings-aspekter. Analysen behandler fremstillingen af religion – hhv. traditionel religion, magi og det monstrøse – i det filmiske univers, samt filmens medialitet. Analysen viser, at filmen indlejrer sig i en bredere trend, hvor traditionel religion fremstilles som forstenet og autoritær, mens magi, monstre og grøn religion fremstilles positivt og tiltrækkende, samt endvidere at filmens medialitet understøtter en udviskning af grænserne mellem verdener både i den tekst-interne verdensstruktur, mellem den diegetiske og den afilmi-ske verden, samt mellem den humane og den non-humane verden. Artiklen argumente-rer grundlæggende for at populærkulturelle medier såsom fantasyfilm udgør en vigtig arena for religion, og at denne arena bør behandles religionsvidenskabeligt, da den både afspejler og former religiøse forandringer i samtiden.

En este artículo, la autora desarrolla varias ideas sobre la teoría y la práctica de los campos científicos desde un punto de vista social y pedagógico directamente relacionado con la literatura y las artes plásticas para niños. La cuestión es analizada desde el marco teórico diseñado por Jean Perrot en su último libro, Du jeu, des enfants et des livres à l’heure de la mondialisation (Editions du Cercle de la Librairie, Paris, 2011). Jean Perrot es un reconocido estudioso de la literatura y la ficción infantil y el director fundador del Instituto Internacional Charles Perrault de Francia. En su última obra, el autor reflexiona sobre las metamorfosis de los libros y la cultura para niños en la era de la "videoesfera" y la "sociedad del espectáculo" bajo el impacto de la globalización. Explora de forma relevante los numerosos fenómenos nuevos conectados a la "producción para niños" que describe como una cuestión particularmente compleja.El libro de Jean Perrot supone una mirada exhaustiva sobre la investigación realizada en el campo de la literatura infantil en los albores del tercer milenio, con análisis relevantes sobre el público objetivo, la tentación de considerar el libro como un objeto, la compleja relación entre discurso y pintura, y el tema del cuerpo fantástico en obras y novelas dirigidas a jóvenes lectores. La conclusión que Jean Parrot elabora en su libro es lúdica y optimista en la medida en que, por medio de una sutil estrategia intertextual, el autor adopta y adapta la idea del “eterno retorno” en referencia a Harry Potter, el “león” de la infancia y Friedrich Nietzsche. In the present paper, the author develops several ideas about the theory and practice of scientific fields from a social and educational viewpoint directly connected to children’s literature and visual arts. The issue is analyzed inside the theoretical frame designed by Jean Perrot in his latest book, Du jeu, des enfants et des livres à l’heure de la mondialisation (Editions du Cercle de la Librairie, Paris, 2011). Jean Perrot is a well-known scholar of literature and children’s fiction and the founding director of Charles Perrault International Institute in France. In his latest work, the author reflects on the metamorphoses of children’s books and culture in the era of the “video-sphere” and of the “show society” under the impact of globalization. He relevantly explores the numerous new phenomena that are connected to “children’s production” which he describes as a particularly complex issue. Jean Perrot’s book is an overall view on research done in the field of children’s literature at the beginning of the third millennium, with relevant analyses of the target audience, of the temptation of the book seen as an object, of the complex relationship between discourse and picture, of the theme of the fantasy body in plays and novels addressing young readers. The conclusion that Jean Perrault draws in his book is ludic and optimistic as, through a subtle intertextual strategy, the author adopts and adapts the idea of the “eternal return” when referring to Harry Potter, to the childhood “lion” and to Friedrich Nietzsche.

Coming of age and classification of adolescents In Salla Simukka’s YA-dystopias Jäljellä and Toisaalla
Finnish YA-author Salla Simukka takes a current societal problem into the center of her novel pair Jäljellä (Left Over, not translated, 2012) and Toisaalla (Elsewhere, not translated, 2012). These novels criticize the current system, where even young children are forced to choose specialized studies and make decisions that affect their whole future. This is a consequence on a modern western information society, where branches of knowledge are differentiated. These theme Simukka’s novels handle with the methods off dystopic fiction.
Both novels depict a dystopic world, where adolescents are classified into groups based on their personality and their talents. Both novels depict a world very much like our own, but the time of the story lies in the near future. As usual to the dystopic fiction the author pics up some existing progressions from the reality and then extends those conditions into a future, and this way the flaws of the current conditions are revealed. In my article I claim, that Simukka’s novels take under critical consideration the whole Western concept of coming of age. Especially crucial is the idea of growth as being something controllable. In western cultures the growing up of an individual is standardized and regulated by institutions and fields of science such us daycare, school, medicine, and psychology. In Simukka’s novels this idea is exaggerated but still recognizable.
The motif of classifications or sorting the adolescents has lately been popular in YA-fantasy and YA-dystopia. Simukka’s novels borrow from two bestsellers: J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter -series (1997–2007), and Veronica Roth’s Divergent-series (2011–2013). These examples seem to prove, that the idea of adolescents of being sorted or being classified is important in contemporary genre fiction targeting young audiences. Sorting or classification as motifs seem to be connected to the contemporary understanding of youth and growing up.
In this article I consider the classification motif in Simukka’s novel. I consentrate especially to the connections between the motif and the wider theme of growing up. I examine the motif beside the Western ideas of growth and coming of age. Besides that I also study the different genre frames Simukka’s novels use to discuss of growing up in contemporary society. These genre traditions include dystopic fiction, YA-literature and fairytale. In this article I propose, that the classification motif allegorizes the demands set to adolescents in contemporary society but also appeals to the young readers as a fantasy of belonging to the group.

Full textAbstract:
O presente artigo, uma reflexão crítica sobre o sujeito da contemporaneidade a partir de um de seus produtos - a literatura, especificamente a saga de Harry Potter - parte de quatro premissas básicas ligadas à teoria psicanalítica. As duas primeiras ligam-se aos estudos de Bruno Bettelheim acerca dos contos de fadas, e mostram as possibilidades de identificação do sujeito com as histórias infantis bem como a necessidade e pertinência do acesso à fantasia no mundo anímico da criança. A terceira toma de empréstimo a uma analista junguiana - Marie Louise von Franz - a noção de que as histórias podem funcionar como compensação de algo que está faltando aos sujeitos ou a uma época. A quarta premissa traz a marca da releitura freudiana feita por Jacques Lacan acerca da carência paterna no mundo contemporâneo, que se manifesta - entre outras possibilidades - na dissolução de traços nítidos de demarcação entre gerações e no afrouxamento do ato educativo. Procuramos questionar, neste artigo, partindo desses pressupostos, como a saga de Harry Potter pode sustentar novos traços identitários a partir de novas condições de subjetivação.

O presente artigo tem como seu objetivo principal trazer os livros paradidáticos/de literatura como ferramenta pedagógica a ser utilizada pelos professores de Química no Ensino Médio, a fim de ajudar os docentes a aumentar sua bagagem pedagógica, facilitando a forma de transmitir conteúdos e evidenciando a seus discentes como ocorrem as descobertas científicas, os fatos e mitos presentes nos livros de fantasia, utilizando como exemplo a pseudociência que foi a alquimia. Foi realizado uma profunda pesquisa de cunho qualitativa acerca de livros, cuja principal temática se relacionasse a fantasia e com utilidade no ensino. A escolha no horizonte do mágico, do fantástico, da fantasia, deu-se devido a um aumento da capacidade imaginativa provocada quando se lê obras desse cunho, e devido a facilidade linguística com que os alunos do ensino médio estão familiarizados, uma linguagem que os aproxime da leitura e os deixem emergidos no mundo da imaginação e da criatividade. No final do artigo podemos evidenciar a pouca utilização de livros paradidáticos/de literatura em áreas diversificadas do ensino.

O cinema é considerado como a 7ª arte que fascina e absorve o espectador. Observa-se o uso crescente desta linguagem como ferramenta didática no cotidiano escolar. Ao aluno com deficiência visual deve ser garantido o direito de apreciar a linguagem fílmica, fato que requer a criação de mecanismos e estratégias que assegurem as condições de acessibilidade. A audiodescrição (AD) é um dos recursos de acessibilidade e é considerado também com um recurso pedagógico. O Centro de Referência em Educação Especial – Instituto Municipal Helena Antipoff, órgão da Secretaria Municipal de Ensino da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro, utiliza o recurso de audiodescrição em suas pesquisas aplicada na Rede de Ensino. Os estudos são desenvolvidos na Oficina de Audiodescrição. O objetivo deste artigo é relatar o estudo desenvolvido no ano de 2015 e 2016, resultado da elaboração de um roteiro de audiodescrição do filme Harry Potter e a Pedra Filosofal incluindo os elementos relevantes da linguagem cinematográfica. A pesquisa teve como objetivo obter dados acerca dos benefícios do referido roteiro para a formação de imagens, conceitos e fruição da pessoa com deficiência visual. Assim como, a relevância da audiodescrição dos elementos cinematográficos para a melhor percepção e compreensão da obra fílmica. Podemos concluir, através dos depoimentos, que a linguagem fílmica com áudio-descrição contribui na formação de conceitos referentes à realidade e a ficção.

No primeiro semestre do ano passado, quando assumimos a revista, deparamo-nos com uma mudança sem precedentes no cenário mundial, que se prolongou ao longo de todo o segundo semestre, e agora, mais uma vez, estamos reféns de um cenário de muita tristeza e desolação, porque o país ultrapassou o número de mais de 500 mil mortos.O vírus e suas mutações trazem a sensação de que estamos convivendo com um monstro que nos consome, o que nos remeteu à mitologia grega. Assim, trazemos a história de Teseu e o Minotauro, como uma metáfora que ajuda a expressar este momento.Teseu é lembrado como um herói, por ter libertado os atenienses da submissão perversa do Minotauro, um monstro com cabeça de touro e corpo de homem que se nutria de carne humana. Assim, ele exigia que, todo ano, sete rapazes e sete moças lhe fossem entregues para serem devorados por ele, que vivia num labirinto. Teseu se propõe a enfrentar a dominação e, quando é o tempo de enviar as vítimas ao monstro, ele segue junto. Ariadne, por quem tinha se apaixonado, dá a Teseu um novelo de linha, que lhe permite sinalizar o tortuoso trajeto no interior do labirinto e retornar sem se perder naqueles meandros. Teseu triunfa sobre o monstro e consegue voltar como herói.Hoje, assim como Teseu, também precisamos do fio de Ariadne para encontrar a saída de uma realidade marcada pela morte de milhares de pessoas, com o sofrimento de seus familiares, e pelo negacionismo científico, com suas consequências nefastas. Os desafios que se colocam à nossa frente são substanciais e requerem o respeito à vida e à ciência. Assim como nesta narrativa, temos vítimas e heróis; na nossa realidade, temos os pesquisadores, médicos, enfermeiros, paramédicos e uma legião de trabalhadores que dão suporte diário ao enfrentamento do monstro Covid-19, que vitimiza uma parcela significativa da população.O fio de Ariadne pode ser entendido como uma linha de esperança que nos conduz para fora do labirinto, apontando outras possibilidades a serem trilhadas fora do espectro da sujeição ao monstro. Este fio condutor pode ser representado pelas vacinas, pelo uso de máscara, pelas regras de distanciamento, que se traduzem pelo cuidado de si e cuidado dos outros. Na tessitura deste fio, trazemos o conjunto de artigos que apresentamos neste número e esperamos que sirvam de base para construir novas fontes de pesquisa e pensamento renovado.Abrimos com o dossiê sobre Educação e cinema: atos formativos. O cinema nos convida a visitar não só a realidade, como também a ficção, a fantasia, e nos transporta para o mundo dos heróis e dos vilões, da aventura, do amor, cultivando nossa sensibilidade. O leitor encontrará neste dossiê artigo sobre o cinema documental, o latim nos feitiços de Harry Potter, a cultura de massa e a diversidade sexual.Os artigos que se seguem na parte diversificada tratam de temas instigantes que estão presentes no nosso cotidiano e que exigem nossa contínua atenção. Um artigo aborda o acolhimento, a socialização e o relacionamento de estudantes imigrantes. Há um conjunto de reflexões que analisam a inclusão e seus impactos educacionais. As temáticas da educação infantil e alfabetização compõem outra série de textos. Em relação a esta área, temos também o efeito das brincadeiras e encenações na aprendizagem das crianças. Ainda sobre educação das crianças, uma das pesquisas trata sobre a avaliação e intervenção psicopedagógica no transtorno da dislexia. Em outro ainda, os adolescentes que participam de projetos esportivos foram ouvidos em entrevistas abertas e percebem as ONGs como espaços de educação e formação humana. Em outro artigo, é proposto um diálogo entre a disciplina de Educação Física e a semiótica. O processo de ensino e aprendizagem no discurso filosófico da série de televisão Merli suscita uma crítica sobre a desvalorização do ensino de Filosofia. O trabalho sobre educação em Direitos Humanos traz aproximações entre esta proposta educacional e os ideais do Iluminismo, problematizando o contexto da pós-modernidade e do neoliberalismo. Como resultado de uma pesquisa exploratória sobre a expropriação secundária, outro artigo destaca como a sociedade capitalista interfere direta e indiretamente no nosso cotidiano e nas relações sociais. Na sequência, um artigo analisa aspectos institucionais da trajetória das Fundações Estaduais de Amparo à Pesquisa (FAPs) no Brasil. Tendo como foco a produção audiovisual do gênero documentário, o artigo apresenta uma revisão bibliográfica sistemática em plataformas de pesquisa.Na seção resenha, apresentamos o livro de Vigotski, Imaginação e criação na infância.Por fim, desejamos a todos e todas que os trabalhos apresentados tragam fecundidade e que se constituam em espaço e meio de troca de ideias.Cleide Rita Silvério de AlmeidaElaine Teresinha Dal Mas DiasEditoras

Full textAbstract:
The paper pays attention to the polysemous words Harry Potter (HP). In this story, the present study exams some picking polysemic words to the extent that the translators of HP prevail to render the proposed significance as per the setting of the first content. Obviously, the picking translators in this examination were not mindful of the wonder of polysemy in the HP. They embrace a strict interpretation methodology to pass on the greater part of the polysemic sense. The method of data collection is divided into two stages. Firstly, determining the situational context of the fantasy and identifying the polysemic sense to clearly make all the contextual meanings of the source text. Secondly, reviewing the selected translation to examine how far they express the TL meaning of the polysemic sense. The present study clarifies that strict translation is reasonable to convey all components of the polysemic words. Furthermore, the translators need to utilize a selected methodology to conquer the confounding circumstance in deciphering polysemic words. In order to get a standard equivalence from multilingual dictionaries, comparative stylistic study functions to determine the contextual connotation and make the sense of polysemous notion.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Much has been written about the international phenomenon that the Harry Potter series has become and inevitably about the translations that contributed to its success. Eirlys E. Davis’s comparative analysis of some of these translations in particular shows dissimilarities between the strategies adopted in different languages and presents individual translators’ choices as inconsistent. This paper deals almost exclusively with the French translation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and reveals that, in the light of the ideological and cultural reality of the receiving corpus, patterns of translation techniques do appear. This paper looks at the transformative strategies and their effects in the target text, first focusing on the treatment of alien British values. Their transformation and disappearance indicate the need to produce a text morally suitable for its assumed readership: French youngsters. Indeed, it seems that the skopos of the target text – being read by French children – determined the translator’s decisions not only to smooth down extreme British otherness but also to reinforce the fantasy of Harry Potter’s world. Indeed, the French creates an utterly “other” world by strengthening its fantastic and magical aspects while undermining the sense of familiarity and credibility of the community portrayed. The shift from a child’s perspective in the original to an adult’s in the translation leads to numerous omissions of banal and realistic details, weakening the realness of the setting and the protagonists. I give textual and extra-textual examples of these transformative strategies which ultimately reduced Harry Potter à l’école des sorciers to a fairy tale and shaped the way it was perceived and received in France.
