Abstract:

Abstract The article focuses on the epistemological paradigms that underpin the current trends in comparative legal research, by assessing them within the framework of the law-and-literature movement. In particular, it examines the scientific state of mind and the veering towards quantitative approaches which now percolate through legal comparative studies. The article argues that such state of mind is not merely confined to the ambit of comparative law. It has indeed several traits in common with the scientific mentality which has been saturating the knowledge system in Western culture since the seventeenth century. This scientific state of mind was one of Jonathan Swift’s main targets. In Gulliver’s Travels, A Tale of a Tub, and A Discourse Concerning the Mechanical Operation of the Spirit, Swift satirised the seventeenth-century scientific program, which had reduced the advancement of knowledge into a system that is very similar to twenty-first century information systems. This reduction was influenced by Cartesian philosophy and was achieved through methodological innovation. But it was also a consequence of the debate on ancient and modern learning, which had originated in France, but had immediate resonance in England. Swift rejected absolute reliance on quantitative methods: not only does this make it possible to set an equation between law and literature, but it also allows us to bring humanities into the debate about quantification in comparative law – and, as a consequence, to reappraise through literature some common assumptions we usually make about the law.

Abstract:

Metaphors have become the focus of a wide variety of discussions in the field of translation theory and practice. They are important rhetorical devices with cognitive function that have been thoroughly studied and considered important by various scholars. Taking into consideration the difficulties implied with identifying and translating such devices, this article aims to identify the procedures employed in translating some of the metaphors present in “A Tale of a Tub” and “Gulliver’s Travels”, two of the most prominent satires of Jonathan Swift. In this context, based on the translation procedures suggested by Raymond van den Broeck, special attention is given to the formal characteristics and efficiency of the relevant devices in the target language and the degree to which the originality of the message intended by the author in the source language is conserved and conveyed in the target language, with focus on the culture compatibility between both target and source languages. Finally, the high level of naturalness and presence of various translation procedures employed in the conveyance of metaphors in both works is stated, emphasizing the use of an additional approach, not mentioned in either the procedures suggested by van den Broeck or those suggested by Newmark.

Abstract:

Cette étude porte sur la satire en vers ou satire régulière et la satire en prose ou Ménippée. Notre point de départ est l'Hudibras de Samuel Butler (1612-80) et A tale of a tub (Le conte du tonneau) de Jonathan Swift (1667-1745). La comparaison entre les deux satiristes a révélé de nombreuses affinités. Un examen préalable des deux modes d'écriture, le vers et la prose a été entrepris afin d'en déterminer les caractéristiques et fonctions respectives. L'analyse thématique des deux satires a montré qu'elles ont pratiquement les mêmes cibles, notamment les abus de la religion et du savoir, mais aussi le monde politique, la science, la société dans son ensemble. Les deux satires sont en effet topiques avant d'être typiques, à savoir qu'elles prennent appui sur les évènements en cours avant d'élever le débat au niveau universel et de s'intéresser à l'homme en général. Ceci fait partie de la stratégie de la Ménippée. L'analyse de Hudibras et du conte à partir de cet angle nous aura permis d'expliquer et de comprendre un certain nombre de points obscurs; car bien que Hudibras soit écrit en vers et le conte en prose, les deux satiristes se sont servi des éléments de la Ménippée, laquelle s'attaque aux idéologies en dehors des vices spécifiques et remet tout en cause, même sa forme<br>This study deals with verse or formal satire and prose or Menippean satire. Our starting point is Hudibras by Samuel Butler (1612-80) and A Tale of a tub by Jonathan Swift (1667-1745). A comparison between both satirists showed that they agree on the major points. A previous study of the two modes of writing, verse and prose, determining the characteristics and functions of each one had been undertaken. The thematic analysis revealed that both satires tackled almost the same subjects, namely the abuses of religion and learning, but also politics, science and the society at large; both satires being topical before reaching a universal level through the study of man in general. This is part of the strategy adopted by Menippean satire. The analysis of Hudibras and the tale from this angle allowed us to understand and explain a number of obscure points. For although butler wrote in verse and swift in prose, both used the characteristics of Menippean satire, which is mainly concerned with ideologies besides particular vices and goes against all conventions; its sole purpose being questioning, even its own vehicle

Abstract:

This study revises a dominant narrative of the eighteenth-century, in which a secular modernity emerges in opposition to religious belief. It argues that a major challenge for writers such as Jonathan Swift and Daniel Defoe, and for English subjects generally, was to grasp the object world--including the modern technological object--in terms of its spiritual potential. I identify disputes around the liturgy and common prayer as a source of a folk psychology concerning mental habits conditioned by everyday interactions with devotional and cultural objects. Swift and Defoe therefore confront even paradigmatically modern forms (from trade items to scientific techniques) as a spiritual ecology, a network of new possibilities for practical piety and familiar forms of mental-spiritual illness. Texts like A Tale of a tub (1704) and Robinson Crusoe (1719) renew Reformation ideals for the laity by evaluating technologies for governing a nation of souls. Swift and Defoe's Protestantism thus appears as an active guide to understanding emotions and new experience rather than a static body of doctrine. Current historiography neglects the early modern sense that sectarian objects and rituals not only discipline religious subjects, but also provoke ambivalence and anxiety: Swift's Tale diagnoses Catholic knavery and Puritan hypocrisy as neurotic attempts to extract pleasure from immiserating styles of material praxis. Crusoe, addressed to more radical believers in spaces of trade, sees competent spiritual, scientific and commercial practice on the same plane, as techniques for overcoming fetishistic desires. Swift's orthodoxy of enforced moderation and Defoe's oddly worldly piety represent likeminded formulae for psychic reform, and not--as often alleged--conflicts between sincere belief and political or commercial interests. Gulliver's travels (1726) and A Journal of the plague year (1722) also link mind and governance through different visions of Protestant polity. Swift sees alienation from the national church--figured by a Crusoe or Gulliver--as refusal of common sense and problem solving. Defoe points to religious schism, exemplified by dissenters' exclusion from state church statistics, as a moral and medical failure: the city risks creating selfish citizens who also may overlook data needed to combat the plague.<br>text

Abstract:

This chapter explores Jonathan Swift's role in the evolution of a form of novel that did not yet exist in his own day. It is a form priding itself on immediacy of reporting, a rhetoric of intensive confessional exploration, and a sense that the process of writing itself is part of the self-disclosure. Swift's A Tale of a Tub (1704), while not properly a novel, had a shaping influence on the history of fiction, as well as being the product or by-product of a popular culture, and book-trade practices, which provided a foundation for the evolution of the novel. Swift's speaker, dedicating his book to Prince Posterity, boasts ‘that what I am going to say is literally true this Minute I am writing’. He adds in his Preface that his aim is to achieve ‘a Parity and strict Correspondence of Idea's between the Reader and the Author’.

Abstract:

While examples of conventional romance fiction continued during this decade, fiction also became the vehicle for topical satire, as seen in Jonathan Swift’s Tale of a Tub and Delarivier Manley’s New Atalantis. Publishers were offering collections of novels in uniform editions. Epistolary fictions were increasingly popular, such as Thomas Brown’s Letters from the Dead to the Living. Fictions by Daniel Defoe and others mingled factual accounts of events and people with allegory, fable, and sensational adventure, as found in A True Relation of the Apparition of One Mrs. Veal.
