Anxo Fernández Ocampo As traduccións da materia medieval, literarias ou filolóxicas, poden agachar proxectos ideolóxicos observables mediante a análise das manipulacións cometidas nos intersticios da intertemporalidade. Con esta busca tentase en ultimo termo determinar a direccion do fluxo de intercambios que nutre o sistema literario galego con productos do repertorio procedente da materia bretona. A nosa proximidade co universo breton non dependeu tanto do grao de semellanza cultural nin do determinismo historico ou xeografico como da accion das institucions o proxectarse alen do mar na busca de lexitimacion. Proba dunha particular talasocracia e a conformacion dun espacio atlantico cruzado por textos e personaxes que foron sendo nacionalizados a poder de querelas intelectuais. Este ensaio enceta o mecanismo da invencion do pasado literario e contribue a descricion das relacions atlanticas segundo unha loxica de correntes e de pretextos lexitimadores. Recorrese para iso os Estudios Medievais e a Antropoloxia, que achega modelos de comprension da relacion pasado / exotismo, e empregase a ferramenta descritiva da intertemporalidade tirada da nova disciplina dos Estudios de Traduccion. Axiña a Materia de Bretaña perdeu a sua significacion para converterse en materia arturica, na que se reproduciu e se xustificou a idea dunha orde universal, e que facilitou a apropiacion do prototipo arturico pola industria cultural dominante. Asi xorde o paradoxo do cultivo e da traduccion duns modelos que malia todo acubillan unha esperanza bretona moderna e redentora da nosa identidade.

¿É Rosalía de Castro a mesma autora hoxe que hai cen anos? ¿En que cambiou a lectura da súa obra? ¿Cómo mudaron os códigos de interpretación, as interferencias que actúan sobre o texto, as expectativas, os lectores? Anton Risco, profesor da Universidade Laval, no Quebec, ofrecenos nestas paxinas unha importante reflexion sobre a obra literaria e a sua interpretacion critica, sobre os mecanismos de creacion e lectura (as multiples lecturas posibles, tantas coma lectores, que son outras tantas recreacions), sobre os clasicos e a contemporaneidade.De Apollinaire a Pondal, de Petrarca a Cunqueiro, de Michel Butor a Mendez Ferrin, cada obra propon o lector un pacto (un contrato) do que o autor e so parcialmente responsable, pero que debemos coñecer, pois unicamente dende a sua comprension e aceptacion seremos quen de valorar axeitadamente a verdadeira dimension dos textos.

In its scope and inclusiveness, this ambitious volume is far more than a history of the literature of France from its origins to the present day, though it is that too. It is a book that fully registers the impact of post-modern thought upon our understanding of what we mean by ''literature'' and what historically has been meant by the term. David Coward''s book allows us to see the diverse wealth of French literature, which has been extended and enriched by new Francophone writing in Europe, Canada, the West Indies and North and Sub-Saharan Africa. His history is set in the widest cultural context and links the development of literature to the mentalities and social conditions which produced it. Coward takes us beyond ''literature'' into the world of the best-seller and, beyond words, to graphic fiction and cinema. In the course of his account he maps the rise of the intellectual, from the time of Dreyfus to the divisions of the 1930s, from the Existentialists to the Post-Structuralists and beyond, and in so doing charts a progression from literary doctrine to critical theory. Whatever the subject in hand, from the ''feminism'' of the Middle Ages to the Feminism of the present, from the ''modernism'' of the fifteenth century to the Modernism we associate with Proust and his contemporaries, Coward proves to be a fascinating and inspiring guide. Topics, themes and genres are clearly signposted so that the reader may follow the evolution of theatre, poetry or fiction as well as wider matters such as censorship and writers'' rewards. The text is complemented by a fully comprehensive and reader-friendly index.
