Prismatic Jane Eyre: Close-Reading a World Novel Across Languages<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n pondelok 11. decembra 2023 Register to watch the event ONLINE<\/a><\/p>\n In this hybrid (in-person \/ online) book launch seminar, co-authors Matthew Reynolds (St Anne\u2019s, Oxford), Eugenia Kelbert (UEA), Jernej Habjan (Ljubljana) and Kayvan Tahmasebian (SOAS, London) will be discussing Prismatic Jane Eyre, which is\u00a0available as an open access download from Open Book Publishers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hear about the interesting book and meet one of its co-authors, our new colleague Eugenia Kelbert Rudan. She joined our institute on\u00a0November 1<\/span><\/span>, 2023, to work on the project TRANSLATION AND CROSS-LINGUAL STYLISTIC TRANSFER: TOWARDS A THEORY OF LANGUAGE CONTACT IN LITERATURE (funded by the grant scheme IMPULZ of SAS).<\/p>\n The event is co-hosted by BCLT, UEA East Centre, Institute of World Literature (Slovak Academy of Sciences) and Oxford Comparative Criticism and Translation.<\/em><\/p>\n Jane Eyre,<\/em>\u00a0written by Charlotte Bront\u00eb and first published in 1847, has been translated more than six hundred times into over sixty languages.\u00a0Prismatic Jane Eyre\u00a0<\/em>argues that we should see these many re-writings, not as simple replications of the novel, but as a release of its multiple interpretative possibilities: in other words, as a prism.<\/p>\n Prismatic Jane Eyre\u00a0<\/em>develops the theoretical ramifications of this idea, and reads Bront\u00eb\u2019s novel in the light of them: together, the English text and the many translations form one vast entity, a multilingual world-work, spanning many times and places, from Cuba in 1850 to 21st-century China; from Calcutta to Bologna, Argentina to Iran. Co-written by many scholars,\u00a0Prismatic Jane Eyre\u00a0<\/em>traces the receptions of the novel across cultures, showing why, when and where it has been translated (and no less significantly, not translated \u2013 as in Swahili), and exploring its global publishing history with digital maps and carousels of cover images. Above all, the co-authors read the translations and the English text closely, and together, showing in detail how the novel\u2019s feminist power, its political complexities and its romantic appeal play out differently in different contexts and in the varied styles and idioms of individual translators. Tracking key words such as \u2018passion\u2019 and \u2018plain\u2019 across many languages via interactive visualisations and comparative analysis,\u00a0Prismatic Jane Eyre\u00a0<\/em>opens a wholly new perspective on Bront\u00eb\u2019s novel, and provides a model for the collaborative close-reading of world literature.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.uea.ac.uk\/groups-and-centres\/british-centre-for-literary-translation\/bclt-events<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BCLT Book Launch Prismatic Jane Eyre: Close-Reading a World Novel Across Languages pondelok 11. decembra 2023 17. \u2013\u00a0 18. hod.
