Abstract Taking as a starting point the issue that Brazilian literature translated into French nonetheless remains minor literature, I examine in this paper the status of the translated text. My search is for indicators/evidence of translated text in the content of the text and metatext (not developed here) as well as the paratext. I first tackle the concepts of Brazilian literature and the deterritorialization of translated text, and then analyze the paratext through an investigation of Machado de Assis' novel Quincas Barba.

AbstractCertain recent publications in Spain devoted partly or wholly to historical matters have brought to light a series of difficulties which are very far from being resolved. The confusion mainly stems from the tendency of many researchers to overlook the research which has already been done in the field. We persist in not reading each other's work, in failing to share information, and the inevitable result of such isolation is repetition and lack of progress. With the publication of pioneer studies from the Portuguese perspective, we can now broaden our knowledge of Peninsular history, and at the same time appreciate the importance of a legacy which is little known and has tended to be oversimplified.

AbstractABSTRACT" To Be Taken as Spouse by a Naq ". Implication ot a Marriage with a Spirit in the Burmese Possession Cuit (Myanmar)In Burma, the relationship between " spirit-mediums " and naq spirits who are the object of the possession cuit is mainly thought in terms of a marriage between a female human and a mâle spirit. The spirits appear to be " wife-takers ", contrary to the marriage alliance which is described as the basis of the shamanistic relationship. This relationship is similar to one that symbolically links the king with the local communities, the origin of the " institutionalization " of the naq cuit. The bringing together of various particular communities in the kingdom might well be conceived as the consequence of an initial union between the king and a local hero's sister - a hero who is afterwards appointed by the king as a local tutelary spirit. At both levels, the marriage alliance expresses a domination one may qualify more precisely as a " reversible subordination ", modeled according to the position conferred to the woman in marriage. The relationship which allows " possession " in the Burmese cuit differs also from the shamanistic one because it is not dealing with " surnature " for the human community but with regulating links between particular communities and the greater whole.Key words : Brac de la Perrière, possession, ritual marriage, naq, Burma
