A multidimensional comparison of discourse organization in English and Chinese university students' argumentative writing

Three methodological limitations in English-Chinese contrastive rhetoric research have been identified in previous research, namely: the failure to control for the quality of L1 data; an inference approach to interpreting the relationship between L1 and L2 writing; and a focus on national cultural factors in interpreting rhetorical differences. Addressing these limitations, the current study examined the presence or absence and placement of thesis statement and topic sentences in four sets of argumentative texts produced by three groups of university students. We found that Chinese students tended to favour a direct/deductive approach in their English and Chinese writing, while native English writers typically adopted an indirect/inductive approach. This study argues for a dynamic and ecological interpretation of rhetorical practices in different languages and cultures.

Translating Nietzsche, mediating literature: Alexander Tille and the limits of Anglo-German intercultural transfer

Dr. Alexander Tille (1866–1912) was one of the key-figures in Anglo-German intercultural transfer towards the end of the 19th century. As a lecturer in German at Glasgow University he was the first to translate and edit Nietzsche’s work into English. Writers such as W. B. Yeats were influenced by Nietzsche and used Tille’s translations. Tille’s social Darwinist reading of the philosopher’s oeuvre, however, had a narrowing impact on the reception of Nietzsche in the Anglo-Saxon world for decades. Through numerous publications Tille disseminated knowledge about British authors (e.g., Robert Louis Stevenson, William Wordsworth) in Germany and about German authors (e.g., Johann Wolfgang von Goethe) in Britain. His role as mediator also extended into areas such as history, religion, and industry. During the Boer war, however, Tille’s outspoken pro-German nationalism brought him in conflict with his British host society. After being physically attacked by his students he returned to Germany and published a highly anglophobic monograph. Tille personifies the paradox of Anglo-German relations in the pre-war years, which deteriorated despite an increase in intercultural transfer and knowledge about the respective Other.

A presença inglesa no Brasil e sua influência nas obras de escritores brasileiros do século XIX

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo investigar a presença dos escritores ingleses nas obras de escritores brasileiros do século XIX. Os romancistas ingleses que se destacaram na Inglaterra do século XVIII foram Daniel Defoe, Samuel Richardson e Henry Fielding. Eles contribuíram para ascensão e consolidação do romance como gênero literário. No Brasil, o romance desenvolveu-se com maior liberdade e atraiu o público leitor. O novo público começa a ler romances que recriavam a cidade, as ruas e a vida de uma classe social emergente: a burguesia. O novo gênero que surgiu na Inglaterra promoveu o crescimento do comércio, a proliferação de revistas e jornais, de cunho popular e literário. Os escritores brasileiros como José de Alencar e Machado de Assis sofreram influências dos escritores ingleses, no entanto, essa influência não foi refletida somente nos romances desses escritores, foi sentida também nos negócios, na cultura e na vida social do Brasil. Alguns exemplos dessa presença são igualmente revelados nas obras de Machado de Assis por meio das citações, das referências e das alusões. Machado de Assis, sempre quando possível, faz referências aos escritores ingleses tanto dos séculos XVI e XVIII quanto do século XIX, tais como Shakespeare, Swift, Fielding. Sterne, Lamb e Dickens entre outros romancistas ingleses.
