Bu çalışma, Sandra Gilbert ve Susan Gubar'ın 19. yüzyıl kadın yazarların eserlerinde kadınlığın bir alt metin olarak var olduğuyla ilgili düşüncesini Kristeva'nın 'genotext' kavramı bağlamında ele almaktadır. Çalışma, Gilbert ve Gubar'ın The Madwoman in the Attic ve Kristeva'nın Revolution in Poetic Language adlı eserlerinde belirttikleri düşüncelere dayandırılmıştır.  Kristeva'nın ‘genotext’ kavramının psikoanalitik çağrışımları olmasına ve özellikle Lacan psikanalizine dayanmasına karşın, bu çalışma genotext'in kadınlıkla ilgili olmasına ve kadınlığı alt-metin olarak konumlandırmasına odaklanmıştır. Dolayısıyla, bu çalışma Gilbert ve Gubar'ın düşüncesini Kristeva'nın genotext düşüncesine göre yeniden okumayı, içindeki boşlukları doldurmayı ve 19th yüzyıl kadın yazarların metinlerinin incelenmesine yeni bir boyut getirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Metaphor Theory

AbstractShakespeare’s works have been translated many times throughout different historical eras, and these translations vary considerably both in their poetic form and in their cognitive underpinnings. This paper investigates the cognitive and poetic differences between three translations of Shakespeare’s sonnet XC: a 19th-century translation by F. A. Gelbcke (Gelbcke 1867), a translation by Paul Celan (Celan 1967) and a translation by A. Thalmayr (Thalmayr 1985). In particular, the use of conceptual metaphor across all versions is compared, and it is established that primary conceptual metaphors tend to remain intact across translations whereas complex conceptual metaphors tend to be replaced by different complex metaphors specific to the era and cultural background of the respective translators. This observation has broader implications for metaphor theory in general: Cross-linguistic studies of literary translations may be useable as a metric for the basic-ness or universality of metaphors. The poetic form variation found in the translations reflects the variation in metaphor material, and the mechanisms of foregrounding and parallelism postulated for poetic language by formalist poetics are shown to be useful for investigating the phenomenon of translation.

Abstract As an attempt to compare Lǐ Hè, a Chinese poet from the Táng Dynasty, and the French 19th century poet Arthur Rimbaud (in spite of a total lack of any traceable historical, cultural and inter-textual connections), this paper focuses on linguistic and stylistic phenomena serving as a proof for a striking resemblance between the two authors. Thus the first part of the article deals with effects of focalization, a specific conception of the metaphor as well as the status of the lyrical subject, establishing a theoretical basis for the concrete comparison presented in the second part. The conclusion is concerned with the question if the poems of Lǐ Hè can be translated into French by ‛adopting‟ Rimbaud‟s poetic language.

The Individual

A patriarchal society has very clear and rigid norms. Its frame does not allow one to move out of it, and a mode of behaviour which attempts any change is severely punished. This kind of society has strict written and unwritten rules, and it seems that the second kind are more harmful and painful for the individual than the first. In 19th century, European society was strongly patriarchal, and a phenomenon which confirms this is the fact that many female writers published their works under a male pseudonym. A patriarchal system attempts to prevent women from any artistic and scientific form and expression, as they are labelled as less intellectually able or talented, but by choosing a male pseudonym they found a way to reach their goal. An author writes about what he knows, what surrounds him and/or what he notices, feels and thinks. Considering that a patriarchal society system is highly defined, female and male points of view, their angles of reflection and aims are obviously different. In novels, choice of character and situation and the description of such, can easily reveal an author’s gender. These approaches will be illustrated by analysing the work of Vincenza Speraz, who lived in North Italy between the 19th and 20th centuries, and published her works under the pseudonym Bruno Sperani.

verbatim will be considered in order to explore poetic language, its function and its existence. The first extract in Figure 2.3, below, is from a speech by a civil rights activist committed to peaceful protest in 1960s America, the second and third extracts are from the summing up in an English libel case in 1983. 2.5.2.1 Extract 1: ‘I have a dream’: Martin Luther King (28 August 1963) Read Figure 2.3, below. This is a political speech, using religious imagery, poetic and emotional language to construct an argument challenging the American Government, calling upon it to honour the promises made in the Declaration of Independence. Obviously this speech has a particular context, ie, geography. Its immediate context is with American civil rights canvassing for race and sex equality laws. With regard to geography, many students may not properly take in the importance of the place where the speech is made. It is made at the Lincoln memorial. This is the memorial to Abraham Lincoln who went to war in the 19th century on the issue of slavery, won and secured the freedom of slaves in the Emancipation Declaration. So, the opening sentence most importantly draws attention to Lincoln:

The Relationship

Opposed to the anxiety of influence supposedly suffered by male writers with regard to their predecessors, Gilbert and Gubar (2000) propounded the concept of anxiety of authorship to hold true for female writers. According to this theory, women joined in a sorority with their literary foremothers in their efforts to prove their worthiness in taking up the male vocation of writing. In Alice Munro’s short story collection Lives of Girls and Women, the mother is ever-present in her daughter’s mind, and their relationship is instrumental in her maturation as a woman and a writer. In this paper, the relationship between the two women is explained in terms of some of the notions put forth in Gilbert and Gubar’s The Madwoman in the Attic, namely the angel/monster dichotomy, the anxiety of authorship, female double consciousness, infection in the sentence, and the parable of the cave. Using these concepts, it is aimed to show that although these notions were proposed as a model for 19th century woman writers, the modern-day Del is yet to come to terms with the anxiety of authorship and its accompanying problems.
