Abstract:

American contemporary writer John Irving is one of the few famous for his unique artistic skills. He appreciates traditional novels and criticizes modern novels, and all of them embody metafiction skills in his creation. Through detailed analyses of his several representative works, the writer of this essay explores John Irving’s perception of novel writing and elaborates his own writing practice including his repetitive narration of the same image. With the help of contemporary trauma theory, this paper also analyzes the recurring image of "Broken Arm" in his novels to restore the symptoms of the narrator's post-traumatic behavior so as to explore John Irving's outstanding artistic talent in narrative skills and characterization.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the work of Irving John Gill during his heyday, and then in conditions when the principles of modernism discovered by him, due to the lack of society’s need for new architecture in the United States, were not needed in this country - from 1909 until his death in 1936. New technologies used by Gill in the construction of public and residential buildings from concrete are described as well as his unsuccessful participation in the Panama-California World Exhibition of 1915-191, the construction near Los Angeles of the “ideal” city of Torrance and end-of-life projects. The reasons why Gill did not become the leader of the American and one of the leaders of world architecture are discussed, and his work is still controversial.

Abstract:

This paper is concerned with the Covent Garden production of Weber's ‘Romantic’ opera Der Freischütz which premiered on 14 October 1824. The production depended on the work of translation and adaptation of Irving, John Barham Livius and James R. Planché. Focusing on Irving's contribution, the relation of his draft libretto to British and continental European theories of translation, and the reception of the production in the London press, the paper demonstrates how the visual, verbal, and musical languages of opera could be changed, diminished, and enriched through the collaborative struggle with the foreign in the process of translation.

Abstract:

The story of the life and the fi rst stages of the work of the American architect Irving John Gill, which led to the emergence of modernist architecture “on the very edge of America,” in Southern California, is presented. The author describes in detail the infl uences that the architect experienced in his work and which, in their totality, led him to the creation of the principles of new architecture and new style. The infl uence on their formation of the Chicago school is emphasized, in particular his work in the workshop with Adler and Sullivan, and the theoretical ideas of Louis Sullivan. The principles of Gill’s architecture are compared with the principles of the architecture of European modernism that appeared ten years later, as set forth by Walter Gropius.

Abstract:

This thesis examines animals in the fiction of John Irving and Haruki Murakami, two authors who have much in common, contemporaries whose work is both commercially successful and regarded as literary. Different in that Irving works within a traditional realist framework while Murakami delves into the magical, each includes animals in his fiction. They employ anthropomorphism and zoomorphism in a variety of ways and demonstrate how animals, as Claude Levi-Strauss puts it, are “good to think with”. I draw on the work of Erica Fudge in an overview of thinking with animals and examine the role of anthropomorphism and how it complements animal advocacy and liberationism in Irving’s Setting Free the Bears. I compare and contrast anthropomorphism and zoomorphism in The Hotel New Hampshire. In doing this, I complicate and challenge Wendy Doniger’s assertion that “sexuality makes humans into animals; language makes animals into humans”. This also applies to Murakami’s animals, who have further roles including enabling engagement with a magical dimension. I argue that, as instantiated in both writers’ fiction, animals evoke thought effectively largely because they are, as John Berger puts it, “both like and unlike”, and as Fudge identifies, that the “paradox of like and not like…exists in our fascination with animals”. My argument is that it is this very paradox, that they are simultaneously both “them” and “us”, along with other factors, such as the diversity, versatility and the inherent ambiguity of animals, that renders them fascinating. Furthermore, Murakami’s magically real animals link conceptual realms that are conventionally separate and facilitate criticism and challenging of conventional human hegemonic structures while operating outside national and cultural boundaries. In summary, Irving’s and Murakami’s animals are good to think with for many reasons, not despite their enigmatic furry ambiguity, but largely because of it.

Full text

Abstract:

Critical responses to John Irving's fiction have generally adhered to the well-rehearsed notion that there is an unbridgeable divide between certain literary forms and traditions. The oppositional thinking that has tended to dominate twentieth-century literary criticism has consequently produced a distorted and rigidly binaristic view of Irving, as either realist or postmodemist, populist or experimentalist. This thesis sets out to establish a more complex language or framework for discussing Irving's work, which, rather than erasing or ignoring those features that appear anomalous when placed within the narrow parameters of a single literary tradition, is more able to accommodate and analyze the tensions and contradictions that arise through the juxtaposition and interaction of multiple literary codes. In particular, this approach is designed to facilitate a more complex and fluid exploration of the deployment of metafictional strategies in Irving's novels, as I argue that his work demonstrates the acute interest in the issue of fictionality that is characteristic of metafictional writing, without either rupturing the reader/writer contract or rejecting the referential function of literary fiction. Irving's work thus both explores and reasserts the capacity of narrative fiction to convey different kinds of truth.

Abstract:

Abstract The purpose of this essay is to show that John Irving uses differentiating sexuality in his novels as a means of promoting sexual tolerance. This is done by using Jonathan Dollimore’s theoretical framework called sexual dissidence, which stems from a deconstruction of the Freudian usage of perversion, and applying this framework to The World According to Garp (1978), The Hotel New Hampshire (1981) and In One Person (2012). The results show that, in these novels, Irving uses sexual dissidence through exaggeration and normalization, thereby promoting tolerance of differentiating sexuality. In conclusion, while the usage of sexual dissidence is present in all three novels, In One Person must be considered the so far clearest example of Irving's usage of sexual dissidence.<br>Sammanfattning Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att visa att John Irving använder icke-normerande sexualitet i sina romaner för att gynna sexuell tolerans. Detta görs genom användandet av Jonathan Dollimores teoretiska struktur kallad sexuellt oliktänkande, vilken har sitt ursprung i demonteringen av den Freudianska användningen av termen perversion, och applicerandet av denna struktur på Garp och hans värld (1978), Hotell New Hampshire (1981) och I en människa (2012). Resultatet visar att det finns bevis för att Irving använder sexuellt oliktänkande genom överdrift och normaliserande och därigenom gynnar sexuell tolerans. Uppsatsen drar slutsatsen att medan användandet av sexuellt oliktänkande är närvarande i alla tre romanerna måste I en människa betraktas som det hittills tydligaste exemplet på Irvings användande av sexuellt oliktänkande.

Abstract:

Translation process of fiction is a complex activity. In order to get a translated product with the same effect and value as of the original different competences of a translator are necessary, including intercultural awareness. Different cultures have different experiences of life. Therefore, whenever a cultural gap appears a translator has to decide how to deal with it while translating. The study seeks to answer what possible ways for translating CSIs exist and which of them were applied while translating the novel “The World According to Garp” by John Irving.<br>Grožinės literatūros vertimas – sudėtingas procesas. Tam, kad vertimas atitiktų originalo vertę, vertėjui būtinas tarpkultūrinis sąmoningumas. Skirtingos kultūros turi skirtingą gyvenimo patirtį. Todėl vertėjas turi nuspręsti kaip elgtis esant kultūriniam atotrūkiui. Darbe aptariama kultūrinių realijų samprata bei analizuojamos vertimo strategijos, taikytos verčiant Džono Irvingo romaną „Pasaulis pagal Garpą”.

Abstract:

Various problems which occur during the translation of a literary text are often linked to the linguistic and extra-linguistic particularities of the original text. This thesis, which focuses on A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving and its French translation, Une priere pour Owen by Michel Lebrun, deals with several of these problems. The analysis is based on two axes of reflection. The first, theoretical, is discussed in chapter one and bears on three fundamental elements of the act of translation: the notion of the ethics of translation (which concerns, among other things, the question of accuracy, or "faithfulness"); the actual process of translation, that is the operation during which certain characteristics of the source text are necessarily modified; and, finally, the polysystem theory. This approach allows the consideration of "external" elements, for example, the target culture and reader.<br>The second axis of reflection is in fact inspired in large part by the polysystem theory because of this consideration. As both the original and its translation refer to a specific linguistic context, literary intertext and socio-cultural milieu, chapter two deals with John Irving's and Michel Lebrun's bio-bibliography as well as certain characteristics of the American and French polysystems and of the best-seller markets in the two countries. We felt it would be useful to study these factors in order to better evaluate the translated text and to better understand the translator's choices.<br>In the third and final chapter the translation itself was analysed. The study of the solutions chosen by Michel Lebrun to solve the problems posed by the source text leads us to believe that the translator produced a text responding to the expectations of the average reader, fond of best-sellers.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on Thalberg’s conviction that “every great film must have one great scene,” exploring what this meant for the dramatic and visual scale of epic filmmaking of the day. The chapter considers this theory in relation to The Big Parade (Vidor, 1925) and La Bohème (Vidor, 1926), looking closely at the ways that “great scenes” played out on the big screens of early movie palaces like Grauman’s Egyptian. Thalberg’s role in enhancing the star presences of John Gilbert and Lillian Gish also features here, providing case studies of the development of his star-making process. Indeed, inasmuch as Gilbert is the leading actor in both films, the chapter also explores his significance to Thalberg’s silent-era productions.

Abstract:

New trends in Scottish theology emerged in the late 1820s. These are associated with Thomas Erskine of Linlathen, Edward Irving, and John McLeod Campbell. Reflecting the influence of Romanticism, these theologians moved away from rationalist approaches to Christian faith, with stress on personal experience, the love of God, and filial relations especially between the Father and the Son. Because of their new ways of thinking, Irving and McLeod Campbell were deposed from the ministry. McLeod Campbell rewrote the doctrine of the atonement, with stress on the love of God, introduced the novel idea of the prospective aspect, and advanced a robust view of assurance. These theologians continue to be read, extending their influence into contemporary discussion.
