in that it is possible that it may have a ‘different impact on the TL reader, something quite unlike the original may have had on the SL reader’ (ibid.). Nevertheless, it is important here that the translator using this strategy does not produce a comic or distracting alien format. This can be done by what Landers calls ‘omission’ (2002: 95); this does not mean cutting out a part of the work or deleting any piece of the text, it is done by omitting any explanation, and ‘leaving the reader to his own

and the Devil; who transforms Lucifer sometimes into a toad, and at others into a pygmy; who makes him say the same thing over again a hundred times; who metamorphoses him into a school–divine; and who, by an absurdly serious imitation of Ariosto’s comic invention of firearms, represents the devils and angels cannonading each other in Heaven? Neither I nor any other Italian can possibly take pleasure in such melancholy reveries; but the marriage of Sin and Death, and snakes issuing from the womb of

Carriage People (June, 1847, Godey's Lady's Book). One of her chief collections of stories is Pencil Sketches (1833-1837). "Miss Leslie," wrote Edgar Allan Poe, "is celebrated for the homely naturalness of her stories and for the broad satire of her comic style." She was the editor of The Gift one of the best annuals of the time, and in that position perhaps exerted her chief influence on American literature When one has read three or four representative stories by these seven authors one can grasp

and tearing. The red ribbon and the chenille net worn by the brunette were torn off; the waist of her dress was ripped from throat to belt and showed the white skin on the shoulder. Gervaise had lost a sleeve, and her chemise was torn to her waist. Strips of clothing lay in every direction. It was Gervaise who was first wounded. Three long scratches from her mouth to her throat bled profusely, and she fought with her eyes shut lest she should be blinded. As yet Virginia showed no wound. Suddenly Gervaise

spectators and four for the imperial family.) The confusion of the exit with a specialized vomit chamber appears to be a recent error. The earliest citation in theOxford English Dictionary finds Aldous Huxley using the term incorrectly in his 1923 comic novel,Antic Hay , with the stern comment “erron.” Lewis Mumford inThe City in History (1961) compounded the confusion by saying the exits were named after the chambers where gluttons threw up “in order to return to their couches empty enough to enjoy

qu’il est un phénomène « qui se définit par son absence de définition »18. Salvatore Attardo, dans Linguistic Theories of Humor19 constate : not only has it not been possible to agree on how to divide the category of « humor » (e.g. « humor » vs. « comic » vs. « ridiculous »), but it is even difficult to find a pretheoretical definition of « humor » in the most general sense. En effet, l’humour « moderne », c'est-à-dire tel que nous le comprenons intuitivement aujourd’hui, en est venu à « désigner

their compositions. Pop artists, such as Andy Warhol (1930-1987), Larry Rivers (1923-2002), and Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997), reproduced, with satiric care, everyday objects and images of American popular culture -- Coca-Cola bottles, soup cans, comic strips. Today artists in America tend not to restrict themselves to schools, styles, or a single medium. A work of art might be a performance on stage or a hand-written manifesto; it might be a massive design cut into a Western desert or a severe arrangement

reformuler cette histoire vraie et en ressentir la tension émotionnelle. Ils pourront alors apprécier le mélange des modes narratifs dans ce roman graphique. En effet, Raymond Briggs utilise, à côté des techniques classiques de la bande dessinée, le strip ou la planche, des unités plus larges qui sont la vignette et la double page. Les dialogues ne sont pas toujours inscrits dans des bulles mais dans une partie blanche de l’image, voire hors de l’image. Ainsi, les différentes scènes prennent-elles une

ton avis ! se défendit-il. — Si, Milo. Toutes les femmes ayant trois sous de jugeote pensent exactement comme moi. Combien de filles correctes nous as-tu présentées, depuis le temps ? Aucune ! On en a croisé des tas, mais toujours les mêmes : des strip-teaseuses, demi-putes, ou de pauvres nanas paumées que tu ramasses dans des boîtes minables au petit matin en profitant de leur faiblesse ! — Et toi, on peut savoir quel mec bien tu nous as ramené ? Ah non, c'est vrai : on ne t'a jamais vue avec un

with no parasol or gloves, swinging her arms somehow ridiculously. She was wearing a dress of some light, silken material, which was also somehow oddly put on, barely buttoned, and torn behind at the waist, near the very top of the skirt; a whole strip had come away and was hanging loosely. A little kerchief was thrown over her bare neck, but it stuck out somehow crookedly and sideways. To top it off, the girl was walking unsteadily, stumbling and even reeling this way and that. The encounter finally
