Abstract

This study analyzes the repercussions and treatment of the production of the Valencian poet, Vicent Andrés Estellés during exile. It takes as a starting oint different moments and texts both from the post-war period and the sixties and the beginning of the eighties –especially during 1956, a seminal year in the evolution of the author. On the one hand, I have carried out an analysis of intertextual relations with Carles Riba with regard to the referent “Súnion” and its appearance in the Llibre de meravelles. On the other, I have recuperated and made detail comments on the unpublished original version of the manuscript of «L’exiliat» from the end of 1956, in the book of poems Llibre d’exilis, which has been analyzed in great detail vis-à-vis its characteristic subject matter and poetic attitude. Finally, I have attempted to analyze the impact of these writings using the fictional strategies that appear in the works of the poet on the subject of exiled writers, entitled Cercles del Russafí and Exili d’Ovidi.

Abstract

Abstract: This paper is an analysis of four translations into Catalan of the Odyssey 6th song. Two of the texts were translated by Carles Riba, and published in 1919 and 1948, another one by Joan Aymerich in 1997 and the last one was translated by Joan F. Mira in 2011. From a descriptive perspective, the study apply instruments of corpus linguistics to focus on how the four translations deal with aspects related to the field of translation studies, such as simplifi cation, explicitation, normalization, interference and the use of some lemmas. In turn, the analysis allows us to explain the use of these lemmas in the cultural and historical context in which the author translated the text. Results from this analysis show that the translations are directly linked to the period in which they were produced and that this link can be deeply personal.Key words: translation, corpus linguistics, Odissea, Carles Riba, Joan Aymerich, Joan F. Mira.

Abstract

T. S. Eliot and Carles Riba are two writers with many similarities: they both lived around the same time (the first half of the twentieth century), both stood out as poets and critics, and both wrote on similar literary topics, such as humanism, and several authors of European lite­rature, like Dante, Goethe and Baudelaire. But their different biographical circumstances and their different literary, social, and political contexts conditioned their conception of humanism and their interpretation of some of the leading writers of Western culture. The aim of this paper is to do a comparative literature exercise to relate and contrast these different conceptions and interpretations of Eliot and Riba.
