Genre and gender: ossianic poetry from oral tradition to national epic and lyrical drama

Publication . Bär, Gerald

In the case of Macpherson’s Ossianic publications the ambiguity of translation and authorship and the authenticity debate play an important role. The editorial history of these epic poems and their reception abroad emphasize translation. In this essay I want to concentrate on the ‘voice’ of women translators, implicit genre and gender expectations and on some aspects of transmediation.

Grosses Kino: o cinema mudo alemão em Portugal

Publication . Bär, Gerald

O objetivo principal deste livro é documentar e analisar a receção do cinema mudo de expressão alemã em Portugal desde o surgimento da sétima arte até ao aparecimento e implementação do filme sonoro no início da década dos anos 30. Além de aspetos estéticos e teóricos, investigam-se os fatores históricos, políticos, económicos e tecnológicos que determinaram a importação e distribuição das películas em apreço. Esta primeira apresentação de largo espectro da crítica cinematográfica portuguesa da época fornece uma base para posteriores estudos complementares e transdisciplinares. A abordagem foca o papel da imprensa especializada portuguesa como instrumento que registou e influenciou processos de seleção e a receção da produção cinematográfica alemã, austríaca e suíça em Portugal.

Orality, Ossian and translation

Publication . Bär, Gerald

Epics, ballads, prose tales, ritual and lyric songs, as genres, existed orally before writing was invented. Serious debate about them, at least in modern Western culture, may be said to have begun with James Macpherson and Thomas Percy. Considering the ongoing debate on orality and authenticity in the case of Ossian, this book includes ground-breaking, previously published essays which provide essential information relating to orality, Ossian and translation, but have been frequently overlooked. Its contributions focus on the aspects of authenticity, transmediation, popular poetry and music, examining Scottish, German, Portuguese, Brazilian, African, American Indian, Indian and Chinese literatures.
