Przekład literatury konceptualnej Studium przypadku lokalizacji Paint the Rock Shiva Kotechy jako Namaluj Popka

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Translation of Conceptual Literature. A Case Study of the Localization of Paint the Rock by Shiv Kotecha into the Polish Namaluj Popka

The article presents case study of a creative practice-based project in which the experimental conceptual book Paint the Rock by Shiv Kotecha was translated into Polish using a conceptual translation strategy. The original is an unconventional “coloring book” that invites the reader to paint American male celebrities from memory. The Polish translation, Namaluj Popka by Aleksandra Małecka and Piotr Marecki, remakes the original experiment, replacing these global household names with figures from the Polish local popular imaginary in a ludic localization. The authors describe the context of the original literary work, the translation process, the new context for reception in Poland, with a special focus on the role of the translator as the ambassador of new trends in literature and the creative and critical potential of conceptual writing and translation strategies.

Parateksty jako wyraz koncepcji przekładu

Bożena Tokarz

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Paratexts as an Expression of the Concept of Translation

There is a connection between paratexts and the translators’ strategy, between the attitude towards strangeness and the concept of translation from the perspective of the hosting culture, represented by translators, critics and researchers. They always define the literary and cultural awareness of individuals and of the epoch. In relation to the main text, they create a new literary and mental reality basing on specific translational solutions at the level of language and culture.
In the translators’ afterword to Slovenian translations of Polish literature in the years 1987—2014, the concept of translation was formulated both directly and indirectly, which places the original in the center of both the process of translation and of research in translation. They are the result of the interaction between the translator and the original, and between the translator and the reader of the translation. The concluded (and continued) transaction between the translator and the reader includes a promise of taking the latter into a fascinating, unknown world and assuring him of his role as an expert. The afterword has a cognitive and mediating function.

In-between Translation, Commentary and Interpretation — Remarks on the Margins of an English Language History of Polish Literature

The paper is devoted to the reciprocal connections among three “metatexts”: translation, commentary, and interpretation. On the basis of Antoine Berman’s theoretical assumptions I demonstrate how these three “reformulations” are intertwined in order to analyze chosen pieces of Polish poetry in English translation. My aim is to explore various roles which translation, commentary and interpretation can play in presenting Polish literature to foreign readers.

Slovak Naturalist Prose in Polish Translations — Strategies for Selection and Translation in the Changing Cultural Perspective of the Second Half of the Twentieth Century

The author of the article analyses Polish translations of the Slovak naturalist prose which is a very interesting phenomenon at the primary horizon and appears to be the most frequently translated into Polish. The author concentrates on the representative translations, strategies for selection and strategies for translation of the naturalism in the changing cultural perspective of the second half of the twentieth century. Historical and cultural situation, historical distance between the originals and their translations has the biggest influence for the selection of the texts but also for the strategies the translators choose during the process of translation. In the perspective of cultural and literature turn in Poland in 1956, the Slovak naturalist prose had the chance to appear in the second horizon but it did not affect recipients and did not have the possibility to impact the development of the receiving literature. The author of the article tries to answer the question why it did not happen.

Twenty five years of translation: a cultural mirror of Croatian and Polish literature

In this article, we have tried to draw an image of Croatian literature in Polish culture, as well as vice versa, in the last 25 years, based on bibliographies and articles on translations in PLS. It has been concluded that, due to translators’ choices of Croatian exile literature, works perceived in the source culture as non -canon, themes related to war, Yugonostalgia and authors whose work belong to the “borderline” of a few nations, Croatian literature in Poland exists as “Balkan” literature. On the other hand, choices of Polish literature in Croatia mainly concerns classic Polish authors. Both cases draw a wider picture of national imagery — a hetero -image  – in the target culture.

„We are close and we know more and more about each other”. A commentary to the bibliography for the years 2007—2013

The discussed here bibliography for the years 2007—2013 is without any doubt one of the most important publications on the subject of translations into Czech and Polish languages. The retrospective bibliography is a very good source for bibliographical information about Polish and Czech literature translation in the years 2007—2013, as well as for the Polish and Czech writing in general. The publication includes a bibliography which makes an attempt to present, if it’s possible, a full picture of the book and periodical production, which were published on the territories of Poland and the Czech Republic. The translations bibliography constitutes a general material for an overview of the development of the Czech and Polish prose, poetry and drama in the recent years. It can be said that we are richer for a book, in which the author was able to elaborate on the development of the translating activity in Poland and the Czech Republic. This work proves to be valuable not only for the highly specialized experts in the fields of philology and literary history, who have now an access to a comprehensive overview of the Czech and Polish literature in translation, but also is a great introductory material for a wide circle of people interested in the culture of the Polish and Czech nations. In this lies the main importance of the work The Slavic Literature Translations, which is a very interesting work in Poland.

Tłumacz jako instytucja — przypadek PRL i drugiej Jugosławii

Leszek Małczak

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

The Translator as an institution — the case of The Polish People’s Republic and the second Yugoslavia

Translators are a part of institutionalized translation literature together with organizations of translators, literary critics, publishing houses, and magazines. They played a very
important role in The Polish People’s Republic. The Polish Communist Party treated them as nest of oppositionists. The first organization of translators, Association of Polish Translators and Interpreters, was established after years of failed attempts in 1981, not accidentally at the time of the biggest popularity of Solidarity. Translation literature was a part of cultural contacts with abroad which were a part of the foreign policy of the state. This particular sphere was under control of the state. Political ideology was the most important factor which influenced cultural policy. Despite those extratextual constraints translators and the sphere of cultural contacts with abroad had a little bit more freedom than other cultural institutions because the political authority wanted to create a positive picture of the country, especially for the foreign receiver. The position of the translator in The Polish People’s Republic was close to The Horace Model of translation. He had to negotiate between a patron (in our case state) and two languages and cultures.

Tożsamość Čefura w polskim przekładzie powieści Gorana Vojno-vicia pt. Čefurji raus!

Monika Gawlak

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Čefur’s identity in translation of Goran Vojnovic’s novel entitled Čefurji raus!

Goran Vojnovic’s novel Čefurji raus! in Tomasz Łukaszewicz’s Polish translation is undoubt­edly an opportunity to commune with cultural otherness, and, simultaneously, it touches upon the issue of seeking one’s identity in the face of multiculturalism. The translator undertook a very difficult and ambitious task. In the translation of the novel, which deals with the issue of multi­culturalism and subculture, the difficulties the translator is confronted with are being multiplied. The comparative analysis of the original and the translation of the novel reveals that Čefur’s identity in the translation has gained more universal frames than in the original. It is mainly because of the cultural barrier which, for the translator, is a strong differentiation between main characters’ language in terms of their nationality. It is a means of conveying vital information as well as a source of characters’ identification which in the original is reduced. Unfortunately the translator did not make an attempt to individualize the characters’ speech using, for example, different language registers or elements of slang, humour, or vulgarity. At the same time, some of the translator’s choices either sharpen the opposition friend-stranger on the basis of which the characters define their attitude to the surroundings and shape their own identity or enhance the familiar character of the relations which take place within Čefurian community. At the stylistic level, the main characters’ language is more crude and limited in comic elements. And thus, in the Polish context, Čefur appears to be more obscene and less sensitive. These displacements give evidence to the translator’s inefficient rhetorical and pragmatic abilities. Despite the fact that, as a consequence of semantic losses the universal features of the main character’s identity are clearer, the novel may become attractive to secondary readers because of the possibility of identification with the analysed issue.

Key words: cultural barrier in the translation, identity in the translation, Goran Vojnović, polish translations of the Slovenian literature, Tomasz Łukaszewicz.

Domesticated translation — foreignizated translation

In the theory of translation rooted terms: domesticated translation — foreignizated translation, They are used as the name of the translation strategies. The first of them consits in bringing the author to the reader; the second one — inversely — consists in bringing teh reader to the author. As a replacement are used the terms: exotic and naturalisation in translation. Tranlsation can be seen as a process and a product. Domestication and foreignization also can be understood as the concept of social, whoch relate to existence of tranlsation in the host culture.In this context domestication is not synonymous with acquaintance and it is inclusion of the work in the tradition of the host literature under the same conditions under which literary works are subject to activation of native with complementary the host culture of the text which intensive impacts on its development. Foreignization means the removal of the host culture of the translation, which had already been domesticated in this culture or which was in a situation of translation — guest or which never existed in the host literature, although it has been published. Choice strategy, nor the quality of translation is not always decide od the domestication and foreignization of translation in the host culture. The domestication largely determines the need for the secondary culture of the text. The foreignization may be come with errors in tranlsation but also with a number of factors, which are outside the lyric, independent of the interpretation. The article discusses the specific cases of domestication and foreignization of translation, mainly in Polish — Slovak interliterature communication.

Slovenian literature translations published in Poland between 2007—2013 — the commentary

The commentary constitues a presentation of Slovenian literature translations published in Poland between 2007—2013. In mentioned period of time the translation of prose (among others written by Jančar, Virk, Žabot, Mazzini, Vojnovic, Möderndorfer, Frančič, Novak) and Slovenian poetry (Šalamun, Čučnik, Kosovel, Frančič, Osojnik, Kušar) appeared both as independent book publications as well as texts presented in periodicals and regular press. Also publications printed as anthology and releases which were a result of translation workshops were developed. In the commentary the author’s concern focuses mainly on books publications due to the fact that they are shaping the literary awareness of secondary culture. It is comforting that presently the increasing tendency for publishing translations of Slovenian literature can be observed. There is a growing need to strengthen and complement the image of Slovenian culture in the Polish reader’s consciousness, a kind of “cultural stereotype” which the reading community assimilate along with the growth of another texts. From the perspective of reception the most important issue seems to be that translations of Slovenian authors (besides Jančar, Virk and Čučnik) were published by independent, local and niche publishing houses. It is clearly seen that creating a coherent cultural‑publishing strategy and providing appropriate popularizing strategy would contribute to enriching, creative dialogue between Slovenian and Polish literature.

Key words: literary translation, Reception of Slovenian literature, cultural politics, translations in Poland.

Bliskość kulturowa a przekład w obrębie literatury polskiej i słowackiej

Lucyna Spyrka

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

The proximity of culture and literary translation within Polish and Slovak

Translatological research generally focuses on problems of translation in the languages and cultures with the average distance between each other. For Poles the common perception is that the Slovak culture is close to the Polish one. According to the latest anthropological concept the culture is considered close when in the receiving area it is well-known and accepted and interest in it puts it in a central position in comparison with other strange cultures. Slovak culture in Poland is little-known, does not attract the interest, so it can only be described as a neighbourly. Such a position of Slovak culture in Poland is reflected in the number of published translations of Slovak literature and their reception. The belief that Slovak culture proximity to the Polish one is applied to the perceived similarity of languages which affects the qual­ity of translation. Differences and dissimilarities in culture are reflected in the language and cause various types of obstacles in the process of translation: in the translation of names, words-realities, collocations, social behaviors, conventions of text, literary trends and currents. Observation of these difficulties leads to the conclusion that contrary to popular belief about the proximity to the Polish and Slovak cultures translation within these literatures poses many problems caused by cultural differences. Solutions of these difficulties adopted by translators, demonstrate the fact that translators yield to the illusion of proximity of cultures. Translations do not perform their functions belonging to them in the Polish-Slovak intercultural dialogue. The belief in the cultural proximity is one of the most significant barriers in translation.

Key words: translation, cultural proximity, Polish, Slovak culture, literature, reception.

Poza granicami schematów. Kilka uwag o polskiej refleksji nad przekładem

Bożena Tokarz

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Going beyond schemas. Some remarks on the Polish reflection upon translation

The diversity of Polish voices about translation draws attention to the fundamental problems of translation: 1) the role of the translator in the process of linguistic and cultural transference; 2) the modeling impact of the receiving culture on the target text; 3) respect for the output work and culture in relation to word and text; 4) linguistic and cultural untranslatability; 5) the desire to create a discipline that “would tame” the complex nature of translation in theory and practice. Reflections upon these issues led to interdisciplinary and descriptivity in translation studies.

Currently we are dealing with the situation of the repealing of faithfulness in translation as an impossible and unnecessary task. The voices of Polish translators, among others, growing over the centuries, were confirmed by this theoretical reflection. Researchers have announced it in Polish translatory reflection. They represented different methodological, phenomenological and structuralist-semiotic options (for example, Stefania Skwarczyńska and Edward Balcerzan in the years 1965—1981). In their reflections on translation, an essential role has been played by the adoption of two basic assumptions. The first one concerns the autonomy of a literary work, whereas the other one is about interpretation, that is, its full implementation in the process of reading. Within their borders, they pointed to the inevitability of the gradable identity of translation with respect to the original.

Key words: Polish translatory reflection, identity, transformations of the original, needs of the receiving literature, repealing of fidelity

Among very well -known and valued Slovak authors whose translations have been published recently are contemporary and modern authors of the younger generation (Pavol Rankov, Peter Krištúfek, Maroš Krajňak, Jana Beňova) and the older generation (Pavel Vilikovský, Daniela Kapitaňová). Their books were very well received by Polish recipients and it occurs that Slovak literature in Poland is read with steadily growing interest. The article concerns  Polish translations of Slovak poetry as well. The survey shows a decreasing number of translations of this kind of literature. In 2015 only three small anthologies of poetry were published. In this way, Slovak poetry was represented by a few local poets (Radovan Brenkus and Pavol Hudák).

Monika Gawlak

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Doubled dialogue of the translation and own artistic work — comparative perspective?

The subject of this article is concerning the area of translation created by an author, a writer. In such case not only the dialogue between poetics of an author’s primary texts and the poetics of self-translated texts is at importance. The relation in which particular translation is involved with the original author’s passages also cannot be diminished. Those problems open a wide space for the translation and comparative studies research. The translation is perceived as an interpretation seen accordingly to the postulates of modern comparative studies — so as an intercultural dialogue, the dialogue of literature, opening itself for further relations in the sphere of ultimate culture and the own artwork of the author of the translation. In Poland it applies to works (original and translational) of — among others — Stanisław Barańczak, Julian Tuwim or Czesław Miłosz. In reference to the translations of Slovenian literature in Poland and Polish literature in Slovenia (after year 1990) one of the fascinating phenomenon in this context would be mutual translation of their own texts of two poets — Adam Wiedemann and Primož Čučnik. Their translations function as a complement rather than polemic factor. The authors explicitly point to initiating the intertextual relations between their texts. The resemblance of the poetics and choices made in the scope of translation unveil the relationship in terms of an idea, outlook on the world and aesthetics.

I. Prijatelj and A. Nowaczyński: the informative and the corrective function of translation (Wilde’s aphorisms rendered into Slovene via Polish)

The Slavic scholar Ivan Prijatelj (1875—1937), who received his university education in Vienna and was a contemporary and collaborator of the group of Slovene writers known as the »Slovene Modernists« (slovenska moderna), established himself primarily as an influential literary historian. Apart from that, he developed his interests in literature as an essayist and translator, being eager to become familiar with important authors and literary currents, especially modern European ones, and to make them accessible to Slovene readers.

He succinctly presented the English writer, who at the time garnered attention in Eastern and in Western Europe, in the journal article Oskar Wilde (1907), which is a translation of Wilde’s aphorisms on art and on criticism. They were translated into Slovene from Polish, on the basis of Oskar Wilde. Studjum. Aforyzmy. Nowele, a book by Adolf Nowaczyński (1906), in which Wilde is dealt with in a more extensive and multi‑faceted manner. Prijatelj’s version, which is thematically homogeneous, is the only one among his translations that is not based directly on the source text. It does not always follow Nowaczyński’s translation, but is consistent with the poetics of translation sketched out by Prijatelj in the introductory chapter to his study on Pushkin in Slovene translations (1901). The study presupposes that for the literature of a small nation such as Slovenia, translation is indispensable in as far as it enables that literature to become connected to other national literatures; in actual fact, translations are considered as a means of informing and educating target readers as well as of correcting local literary standards. In order to perform these functions in a satisfactory way, a translation must preserve the original’s authenticity, while at the same time adapting to the target culture and naturally integrating into it. Accordingly, a translated text does not only bear a mark of the author’s creative genius, but, to an extent, also of that of the translator.

Some minor shifts with respect to the English original are observable in Prijatelj’s and Nowaczyński’s translations, which in some points differ also from each other, and remain within the recommended middle way, which makes it possible for the translator to take into account the author’s intentions, while allowing himself the necessary freedom, so as to produce an effective and convincing target text.

Key words: translation function, aphorism, I. Prijatelj, O. Wilde, A. Nowaczyński

Słowacki klimat Europy Środkowej w Polsce

Marta Buczek

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

The Slovak climate of Central Europe in Poland

The article concerns Slovak literature translated into Polish in recent years, 2013 and 2014. The author focuses on the problem of the translation of contemporary Slovak literature that examines the issue of Central European identity in Central Europe. She considers the latest Slovak literary works and their reception in the Polish horizon, as well as analyses translations which in the Polish horizon play the role of mediation, and promote understanding between two cultures belonging to the common Central European circle. Recent translations of contemporary Slovak literature, including Pavol Rankov, Pavel Vilikovský, Rudolf Chmel, compliment the knowledge about Slovak culture, literature and history among Polish readers. They also raise their awareness for diverse sensitivity and ability of perception. They also inspire exploration and search for new meanings.

Peryferyjna obecność. Problem recepcji literatury staroserbskiej w Polsce

Izabela Lis-Wielgosz

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 29-06-2020 | Abstrakt | s. 147-171

In the article, a problem of translation of the old Serbian literary texts into Polish is discussed together with the basic mechanisms of the reception process of creativity revealed by the Orthodox Slavs from the Balkan region, that is, in other words, the works arisen in the circle of the Slaviae Orthodoxae and their presence in the Polish culture’s space which belonged to the circle of the Slaviae Latinae. The considerations regard the essence and function of translation, presence and absence of translated literature — its initial version in the target space, and their foundation is located in the collections of translations existing in the Polish reading circuit. The issue of the presence or position of the old South Slavonic literatures, namely, the old Serbian texts in their Polish translation, is featured in several possible perspectives. The problem is exposed in the aspect of these texts’ peripheral character and literary genetics.

Polish literature in Slovenian translation in 2014

In 2014, 8 Polish authors’ books were translated and published in Slovenia, among which the dominant literary genre was prose: 5 novels written by authors belonging to different generations (Lem, Myśliwski, Huelle, Tokarczuk, Franczak), 2 books on religious topics (on John Paul II and Jerzy Popiełuszko), and a selection of poems by the Polish Nobel Prize winner Wisława Szymborska. Polish literature was also quite present in literary magazines such as „Lirikon21”, „Poetikon”, „Locutio” and „Literatura”. Most of the translations have been published by the most famous and prestigious Slovenian publishers such as Mladinska knjiga, Cankarjeva založba, Celjska Mohorjeva Družba and Beletrina. It is worthy to note that the prestigious award for the best young translator in 2014 was assigned to Staša Pavlović for her first translation, that is, Pawel Huelle’s Mercedes Benz: From Letters to Hrabal. On the basis of the data presented, it can be seen that Polish literature is becoming increasingly popular among Slovenians thanks to the translators and, especially, to their excellent translations.

Polish literature in Slovenian translation in 2015

In 2015, fifteen Polish books were translated into Slovenian, which is almost twice as much when compared to 2014. Prose has been dominant; Polish poetry was represented by two poets of different generations: Tadeusz Różewicz, whose two collections (Profesorjev nožek and Siva Zona) were translated by the experienced translator Jana Unug. Furthermore, Justyna Bargielska, a young Polish poetess, whose poetry selection entitled Serija manjših ran was prepared by Staša Pavlović. Interestingly, in 2015 Slovenes translated six books for children and young readers (Onichimowska, Maleszka, Żółtowska -Yvette) and two books on religious topics (Ewa Czaczkowska’s Sestra Faustina and John Paul II’s personal notes from 1962 to 2003). The varied selections, translators’ offerings and the growing number of Slovenian translations of Polish literature (which were mostly published by very prestigious companies such as Beletrina, Družina, Modrijan and Cankarjeva Založba) demonstrate that Slovenian readers are interested in Polish culture and interested in reading Polish books.

Bohater groteskowy Ferdydurke Witolda Gombrowicza w przekładzie Katariny Šalamun-Biedrzyckiej

Marzena Osmólska

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

The grotesque character of Witold Gombrowicz’s Ferdydurke translated by Katarina Šalamun-Biedrzycka

The grotesque is an aesthetic category, which undermines the conventional and acknowl­edged image of the world, illustrates the complexity of certain phenomena and their other sur­prising aspects. In Poland the term „grotesque”, being a calque from German, was first used at the threshold of the 19th-century. However, according to the Polish 20th-century literature and art researchers, grotesque becomes prominent in Polish literature on the verge of modernism. The assumption that modernist art had an almost entirely grotesque character cannot however be ruled out. Grotesque manifests itself in the novel Ferdydurke on each level of the work, including language. The grotesque character of the language is shown among other things through ne­ologisms and a mixture of pompous and colloquial style. Body parts (such as bottom and mug), having a symbolic meaning throughout the novel, play an important part in giving the figures their grotesque character. The language of the novel may undoubtedly constitute a problem for the translator, as the writer uses neologisms and disturbs the word order to achieve a grotesque character of events. The translator tried to deliver an identical image of the grotesque character in her translation. Frequently, the translator couldn’t however disturb the correctitude of the Slov­enian language. She preserves the sense of the original on the lexical and syntactic level through imitating the syntactic structures of the original or through replacing them with other grammati­cal categories. Each translator must recreate the model of the world embedded in the source text.

Bibliografia przekładów literatury macedońskiej w Polsce i polskiej w Macedonii (lata 2007—2013) — komentarz literaturoznawczy

Lech Miodyński

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

The Bibliography of  Literary Translations 2007—2013 (Poland — Macedonia). A Commentary

In the study an attention is drawn to the problems concerning the cultural and artistic representativeness of the choices of the translated literary texts, that are made by actors of both sides of the linguistic communities: Polish and Macedonian. An overview of such choices connects the relationships with social backgrounds of the cultural elites and with the continuity of the both literary traditions. The comparison has proved that the Macedonian translations, starting from the 70s of the 20th century, systematically present important Polish literary texts, reflecting our national canon. On the other hand, Polish translators treat their contacts with the contemporary Macedonian poetry, prose and drama incidentally, that results in ad hoc motivations, both institutional and personal.

Key words: Macedonian literature, Polish literature, translation, choice representativeness, cultural restrictions.

„Polskość” w słoweńskich przekładach Rozki Štefan / Polishness” in Slovenian translations by Rozka Štefan

Anna Muszyńska

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 01-01-2009 | Abstrakt

Rozka Štefan an outstanding specialist in Polish studies, translator and expert on Polish literature. She has devoted all her life to presenting Polish culture and literature to Slovenians. She has translated most of Polish Romantic literature into Slovenian (mainly Mickiewicz) and works of the most important contemporary poets rooted in „Polishness”, such as: Staff, Tuwim, Różewicz or Miłosz. Her translator selections (in the broad sense) are always tinted with a strategy of presentation of what is typically Polish, what is specific for the culture of the „country on the Vistula”; this is also proof that for a good translator there are no limits to convey the meaning. In 1999 an anthology of Polish love lyrics titled Antologija poljske ljubezenske lirike was published in Slovenia, in 2000 — her translation of Adam Mickiewicz’s Konrad Wallenrod followed by a selection of Tuwim’s poems (2001) — Julian Tuwim. The last three translation works by the 94 year old translator — covered by this paper — are perfect evidence of her translator consistency; they are a specific „summa” of her translating style, an essence of her translating perfectionism, both with respect to macro and micro choices in the plane of specific translated texts. Their common trait is her strategy of presentation of the „Polishness”.

Comments to the Polish‑Serbian bibliography in 2015

The text analyses the issue of Polish literature in Serbia and Serbian literature in Poland. Most of the translations that appeared in Serbia in 2015 were reprints of previous editions or new, contemporized translations of works already known in the Serbian publishing market. The year 2015 saw 23 book publications (without any volume of poetry) and 17 poems in various magazines. Serbian literature was poorly represented in the discussed time — only two comics, two anthologies of poetry and 23 poems were published. Consequently, there was not a single prose publication. This is a tendency, as in 2014, not a single translation of Serbian prose in Polish publishing market appeared.

The Subculture in the stereotype, the stereotype in the subculture: A few notes on the Slovak translation of Wojna polsko-ruska pod flagą biało-czerwoną by Dorota Masłowska

This paper focuses on a short general description of the Polish translation of the novel by Dorota Masłowska Wojna polsko-ruska pod flagą biało-czerwoną into Slovak (Sneh a krv). The translation, prepared by Tomáš Horváth, tries to show the world of the Polish city subculture of blockers based on the background of the stereotypes in this particular subculture. The author presents the definition of a subculture and stereotype in sociological literature, but also from a linguistic point of view. It also characterizes the language in the Slovak translation regardless of its slang implementation through univerbized units, vulgarisms, pejoratives, dysphemisms and phraseological units. This is to resolve the issue of the loyalty of the Slovak translation with the Polish original.

Cultural barriers in the slovak translation of Witold Gombrowicz’s Ferdydurke

The article presents the problem of cultural barriers in Slovak translation of Witold Gom­browicz’s Ferdydurke which was published in a new translation horizon in 2004. The roman was translated by a very well known Slovak translator — Jozef Marušiak. The author of the article shows the translation strategies which were used by him to overcome cultural barriers and re­construct foreign mental mechanisms as part of different culture. The strategies exploited in the process of reinterpretation of the original meanings were the literal strategy combined with the strategy of neutralization of foreign cultural facts. The question is if it is possible to translate complicated prose of Witold Gombrowicz to Slovak and reinterpret implicated in the original text cultural facts and whether they constitute the cultural barrier in the process of translation.

Key words: Witold Gombrowicz, Ferdydurke, translation, polish literature in Slovak translations, cultural barriers in translation.

Stereotypes in the translation of Slovak short stories under the title Fairy Tales for Naughty Children and Their Caring Parents by Dušan Taragel

The author of the article raises the problem of stereotypes in the Slovak collection of short stories book under the title Fairy Tales for Naughty Children and Their Caring Parents (1997) written by Dušan Taragel. The article focuses on the original text and its Polish translation by Tomasz Grabiński published in 2005. Dušan Taragel‘s short stories are an interesting example of using stereotypes in literature. He uses and forces well known sterotypes to perform tasks inconsistent with their basic semantics which leads to a transformation of the individual components of the stereotype and includes the new atypical structural relationships. Taragel’s short stories undertake a peculiar play with stereotypes using of the genre of the grotesque. An interesting matter is how the Polish translation deals with this and is carried out at all levels play. The article tries to answer the question if stereotypes may be translatable into the second language when the code changes, if they can be translatable in an act of cultural communication.

Key words: Stereotype and translation, Slovak literature, Dušan Taragel, Tomasz Grabiński, Slovak literature in Poland.

The Other in the Other: literary citations in Polish and Italian translations of Anton Ingolič’s youth novel Gimnazijka

The paper discusses the translation of literary citations in Polish and Italian translations of the Slovenian youth novel Gimnazijka by Anton Ingolič. With the help of literary citations the author shapes his narrative (autoreferentiality) and also informs the reader — by using concrete text examples — of the authors included in the canon of world (cf. Shakespeare, Molière) and Slovenian (cf. Kette, Murn, Gradnik) literature (referentiality). In the analyzed translations of Gimnazijka, text fragments with citations are frequently simplified: Polish translator has opted for preserving three, the Italian only two citations out of five. In both translations the text fragments with citations have been frequently simplified, even if the citation itself is preserved (the summary translation has been used more widely by Italian translator). In such a way, the analyzed translations have not only reduced the stylistic qualities and the content complexity of the source text, but also diminished its referentiality (informative-didactic dimension) by disregarding some of the literary citations.

On the margins of literary field. Comment on the Bibliography of literary translations from Bulgarian to Polish in 2014


The paper is a comment on the Bibliography of literary translations from Bulgarian to Polish in 2014. The author of this article focuses on two translations that may be considered as completed — that is, a book with short stories Lomski razkazi (Lom stories) by Emil Andreev and a selection Antologia literatury bułgarskiej w przekładzie Hanny Karpińskiej (Anthology of Bulgarian Literature in translation of Hanna Karpinska). The analysis uses the concept of field and actors/institutions in the literary field by the French sociologist, Pierre Bourdieu. 

The analysis tries to reveal mechanisms beyond the translation process — decision on what is translated (author and piece), cooperation with publishers, but also official cultural policy of Bulgaria. It also shows differences between book and magazine publications in the context of literary filed (in. al. reading audience, literary prizes).

O polskich przekładach chorwackiej literatury wojennej — Dragutin Tadijanović: Molba munji nebeskoj / About the Polish translations of the Croatian war writings — Dragutin Tadijanović: Molba munji nebeskoj

Leszek Małczak

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 01-01-2009 | Abstrakt

After 1990 the translations of the Croatian war writings relatively seldom appear in Polish translations of Croatian literature. In the realm of lyrics the translation of Stamać & Sanader‘s book U ovom strašnom času. Antologija hrvatske ratne lirike is the most importanat publication. In this article two translations of Tadijanović‘ poem entitled Molba munji nebeskoj are analysed. The authoress of the first translation Muriel Kordowicz has translated the poem in the above mentioned antology, the author of the second one Julian Kornhauser has published his own translations of Tadijanović‘ poem in the magazine „Literatura na Świecie”. In the recapitulation of this analysis the statement of two different translators‘ strategies is given. The Kordowicz‘ translation is an example of philological model of translation and the Kornhauser‘s translation is an example of transpositional-modulational one.

The History of Slovenia in a Polish perspective. Slovenian literature as translated by Joanna Pomorska

The article deals with the topic of translator’s choices while investigating the case of the translation of Drago Jančar’s book, Terra incognita, translated in Poland by Joanna Pomorska. This article is based on the theory of tropes by Hayden White, whose research is directly related to the historiography, and points out to the trap of objective or truly scientific history which, in fact, cannot exist. The same also applies to the essays that include some threads of history, such as Jančar’s essays concerning Slovenian history, analyzed not only in the Slovenian, but also in Yugoslavian and even European context. The image of history in his works is built on the remarkable way, where prevails the irony arising from the specific argument on the wheel of history. This unique perspective cannot be retained in the translation, where the translator must take into account a Polish reader’s limited knowledge about the Slovenian history. The author pays particular attention to illustrating the effects of translation strategies and its attitude towards the essay as a relay of history. She analyzes the translation choices on the lexical‑semantic level, and shows their impact on the perception of the text.

The Mikołowski Institute’s Role in Promoting Slovenian Literature in Poland in the last years

This article focuses on the dissemination of Slovenian literature in Polish by the Rafał Wojaczek Institute in Mikołów between 2012 and 2015. The author approaches the role of publishers in promoting literatures that are viewed from the Polish perspective as marginal using Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of social fields. She points to the mechanisms and motivations of both the publisher and the translators, addresses issues related to graphic design, and examines the impact of paratextuality. The appreciation of non -mainstream literatures, including translations, stems from Bourdieu’s notion of illusio, a belief shared by the Institute’s staff and the team supporting the publishing process (i.e. translators) in the value of literature, translation and publishing, and their aesthetic and social impacts. The interest of the Mikołowski Institute in propagating fringe literatures, its attempts to transfer symbolic Slovenian capital into Polish and its relative autonomy in the publishing market are well worth noting.

Odjek mesijanizma Adama Mickiewicza u djelu Ivana Mažuranić / Echo Mickiewiczowskiego mesjanizmu w twórczości Ivana Mažuranicia (tłum. Leszek Małczak)

Tea Rogić Musa , Leszek Małczak

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

The echo of Adam Mickiewicz’s messianism in the work of Ivan Mažuranić

This paper presents Mažuranić’s early translations of Adam Mickiewicz, including the threefold thematic orientation: first we try to shed some light on the origin of six unsigned translation fragments from Mickiewicz’s The Books of the Polish People and of the Polish Pilgrimage, printed in “Danica” in 1837, whose authorship has been attributed differently in literature. Mickiewicz’s work had a significant impact on the Illyrians, and those fragments were the earliest translations of that political work among the South Slavs. The translation consists of a series of prose notes that are a free rewriting of the original, adapted to Croatian circumstances, and very successful as a whole, with an excellent imitation of Mickiewicz’s biblical‑rhetorical rhythm. We will document Mažuranić’s familiarity with Mickiewicz’s work through a possible direct intertextual and literary historic‑poetological relationship between Mickiewicz’s political writings and Mažuranić’s brochure Croats and Hungarians and finally elaborate on the influence of Polish messianism — in its variant found in Mickiewicz’s political writings — on the young Mažuranić in the atmosphere of the Croatian National Revival.

Key words: Ivan Mažuranić; Adam Mickiewicz; messianism; The Books of the Polish People and of the Polish Pilgrimage; Croatian National Revival.

Gombrowicz w Słowenii: ramy interpretacyjne czasu i przestrzeni kulturowej

Bożena Tokarz

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Gombrowicz in Slovenia: interpretational frames of time and cultural space

The recontextualization of the prose by Gombrowicz occurred within three different interpretational frames in the translation into Slovene, time frames and space frames: in the 70., 90. and in 2000. They are appointed by the strategy of the translators, by the political situation, by the translations and the reception of foreign literature (above all western literature), by the global situation connected with culture and civilization and by the condition of the target literature of the translation. All of them are determined by the system of expectations of the audience and by the „life” of the translations.

In the translations of Gombrowicz have evolved cultural barriers and the degree of crossing them from the side of the source culture and also from the side of the target culture: beginning with the political actualization of Polish awareness through its rhetorical over-coding up to hybridization and mutual merging of times, space, cognitive and emotional attitudes.

The difficulty of following the intercultural literary dialogue in the Slovene prose is deepened by the fact that the translations of American literatures occurred more or less when the translations of Gombrowicz were done (particularly, beginning in the mid 80.).

Key words: prose, Gombrowicz, translation, culture, intercultural communication.

Czeski humor po polsku

Lenka Németh Vítová

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Czech humour in Polish

So-called Czech humour is very popular in Poland. This contribution analyzes short sections of Hašek’s novel about Švejk and a play by the Jára Cimrman Theatre in order to explore how hu­mour is translated. The chosen texts represent two different types of humour that Czechs identify with to such an extent that some expressions actually seep into everyday language. The analysis of the novel about Švejk suggests significant differences between the first and final (in fact third) translation into Polish. While the first translation replaces a number of originally neutral expres­sions with stylistically marked ones to denote emotional experiences, the third one reflects the original’s stylistic marks. Yet, it is the gradual use of these marks that brings about a comic ef­fect through the gradual confrontation of disparate elements. The analysis of the play by the Jára Cimrman Theatre shows that humour that mainly involves Czech identity can be interpreted but not translated. Both examples suggest two basic cultural barriers in translation: the language barrier and the barrier of tradition.

Key words: Czech sense of humour, Czech literature, Švejk, Cimrman, translation.

Transformacje translatorskie w przekładzie bułgarskiej bajki magicznej Trzej bracia i złote jabłko (kod estetyczny) / Translation transformations in Polish version of the Bulgarian fairy tale Trzej bracia i złote jabłko (Three Brothers and the Golden Appl

Joanna Mleczko

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 01-01-2009 | Abstrakt

The article discusses translation transformations in Polish version of the Bulgarian fairy tale Trzej bracia i złote jabłko (Three Brothers and the Golden Apple). The fairy tale has been published in the collection Złota moneta za słowo. Bułgarskie bajki i legendy ludowe (Golden Coin for a Word. Bulgarian Fairy Tales and Legends — selection and introduction by Georgi Minczew, Lodz 2006).The main subject of the analysis is aesthetic code of the translation — the ways the translator has shown specific features of the oral text such as repetitions, forms and clichés. The author of the article is particulary focused on traformations on syntactic level (transformations in statements structures, changes in words order and text segmentation).The choices made by the translator prove that he wasn’t fully aware what literature genre he is translating. As the result, the translation is lacking essential for folk texts, and for fairy tale in particular, stylistic features which appear in the original.

„Wolność kontrolowana” — o (nie)zależności tłumacza. Uwagi do polskiego przekładu powieści Petry Hůlovej Umělohmotný třípokoj

Dorota Żygadło‑Czopnik

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

„Controlled freedom” — about the (in)dependence of a translator. A few comments about the Polish translation of Petra Hůlová’s Umělohmotný třípokoj

In 2002 in the Czech Republic a very interesting phenomenon occured — an unknown young woman named Petra Hůlová published a book, which caused the biggest literary stir of recent years. The writer’s debut Paměť mojí babičce received the Magnesia Litera Award in the Objev roku (Discovery of the Year) category and won the Lidove noviny’s poll as Kniha roku (Book of the Year). The prose of Umělohmotný třípokoj won the Jiry Orten Award. In 2008, Hulova was awarded with the Josef Škvorecký Award for the novel Stanice Tajga. In every book the writer seems different, which does not mean that she has no individual style. She is undoubtedly the most award‑winning young author today. She captured readers’ attention with the language used, which is a mixture of colloquial Czech and surprising similes. Quite unique is also the bravery of her storytelling. The book we are interested in, Umělohmotný třípokoj, is the fourth novel by the young writer. The Polish translator Julia Różewicz was awarded for the “New face” category of the literary magazine Literatura na Świecie for her translation of the Petra Hulova’s book (in Polish: Plastikowe M3, czyli czeska pornografia, Afera 2013). The goal of this study is to analyze the Czech author’s specific language and to later confront it with the language chosen for its “Czech mutation” by the translator, Julia Różewicz.

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

On translating Polish literature in the Czech Republic and Czech literature in Poland. Commentary on the 2014 bibliography

The history of Polish‑Czech dealings is long. There is no doubt that the year 1989 brought epochal changes in Polish‑Czech relations. Only then did the Czechs and Poles become rightful neighbours. Territorial disputes are a nonissue and the two countries are connected to each other with mutual affection of the cultural and political elite. Czech‑Polish relations are the best they have been in over a thousand years. This publication, although small in scale, is intended to provide a full picture of the cultural and linguistic relationship between the two nations for the year 2014. It can be viewed as a valuable contribution to this issue. The bibliography is divided into two parts, where the first includes, The bibliography of the translated works of Polish literature in the Czech Republic in 2014, and the second one includes, The bibliography of the translated works of Czech literature in Poland in 2014. Both parts include translated literature. The bibliography is devoted not only to books, but also takes into account periodicals and websites. The ultimate goal of the whole project was to provide both the experts and readers, through the series „Slavic Literature Translations”, with a comprehensive list of translated works of Polish and Czech literature published in Poland and the Czech Republic in the year 2014.

Tatjana Jamnik

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 01-01-2009 | Abstrakt

In this review od Czech and Polish translations of Slovene literature in the past 17 years, the author shows diversity and resemblance in the cultural image of Slovenia in the collective consciousness of the two nations. The chosen era of research falls into two distinct periods. In the first, before the year 2000, the translations lied solely on the shoulders of individual translators, members of the „old” generation. The second period is characterized with a great outburst of translated Slovene literature by the young generation of traslators. Trough analysis and comparison of translated books and translations published in journals and on the internet in the Czech Republic and Poland the author draws our attention to the discrepancy in the amount of translated publications. The article explores the possible reasons for these changes and differences in the field of Slovene translated literature in the two related countries.

Translator’s Footnotes in the Polish Translation of Drago Jančar’s essays Terra incognita

The author has analyzed the translator’s footnotes in the Polish translation of Terra Incognita. The footnotes are problematic, because some people consider them a discredit to the translator, while others think them a sign of erudition. There is also a group of people, who say they are a solution to untranslatability, which is a result of the differences between the languages and cultures. They help to deliver the meaning. The author of the article searches and analyses if the translator was consistent while creating footnotes and if the information important provided in the process is essential and helpful for the reader to understand Slovenian culture. In other words, if the footnotes are a solution to the problems with the untranslatability.

This article summarizes and discusses the body of translations from Croatian literature published in Poland in 2018. The most significant offering to appear on the Polish market that year was a multilingual collection of mid-career poetry by Dorta Jagić entitled The Portrait of The Body, containing Croatian originals and their translations into Polish (by M. Wierzbicka) and English (by D. Šodan, M. Đurđević). “Synoptic” editions (bilingual or multilingual) allow the reader to view both the original and its translation, which has three major benefits: it contributes to a better circulation of texts; enables deziluzionist reading (the awareness of the difference between the original and the translation); and establishes an intertextual bond between the collected texts.

Stylizacja na potoczność w przekładzie literatury czeskiej na język polski

Lenka Vítová

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Stylization of colloquial language in Polish translations of Czech literature

Czech literature has traditionally made use of a distinctive stylization of colloquial language and dialect. This represents a significant challenge for translators into languages with less diverse stylistics as they seek to find a mode of capturing the original’s emotionality. This article explores translators’ strategies when dealing with this problem and uses examples of works by Jaroslav Hašek, Bohumil Hrabal, Jáchym Topol and Irena Dousková who stylize colloquial language in a variety of ways. The author uses a comparative analysis of the original and the translation to determine how and to what extent the individual translators achieved an adequate rendering of the original. The translators in question are Paweł Hulka-Laskowski, Józef Waczków and Antoni Kroh in the case of Hašek; Andrzej Czcibor-Piotrowski, Jan Stachowski and Piotr Godlewski in the case of Hrabal; Leszek Engelking in the case of Topol and Joanna Derdowska in the case of Dousková. In the conclusion the author suggests four categories of stylization of colloquial language (depending on its form and aim): folk (Hašek), aestheticizing (Hrabal), naturalist (Topol) and humorous (Dousková). She also argues that it is increasingly more important to provide as accurate a translation as possible of all the aspects of the text, including those that differ from the national tradition. This is in line with the latest trends when translations incorporate increasingly more of the Other and are characterized by a significant shift from adaptation (viewed through the national prism) to exoticization (viewing one’s home through the lenses of the whole world).

Czech literature „refractions” of the two Wroclaw’s publishing houses: Afera and Książkowe Klimaty

In this paper we consider the theoretical work of the translatologist André Lefevere and apply his model in practical study. Its focus is the analysis of the work of two Polish publishing houses: Afera and Książkowe Klimaty in the context of Lefevere’s work. The Afera Publishing House was created in the year 2010 and the Książkowe Klimaty Publishing House in 2013, in which year they published 11 books. Through their activity they familiarize many readers with interesting books by worth knowing new Czech authors. Their work depends on a very important condition — the close and careful cooperation of said authors with translators and editors during their text preparation process, as well as their commitment to very high quality graphic design. As a result, Afera and Książkowe Klimaty have managed to establish their fame as publishing houses proposing high quality literature of Czech origin. Their focus group is people who are interested only in the highest quality Czech literature, which is the reason why books they publish match their expectations so well.

W artykule dokonano analizy ekwiwalentów przekładowych angielskiego intensyfikatora bardzo w języku polskim, chorwackim i serbskim. Materiał badawczy zebrano z dwóch przekładów na język polski oraz chorwackiego i serbskiego tłumaczenia angielskiej powieści dla dzieci „Kubuś Puchatek” autorstwa A. A. Milne’a. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie różnych rozwiązań tłumaczeniowych związanych z intensyfikacją znaczenia. Rozwiązania te obejmują procedury na poziomie morfologicznym, leksykalnym i semantyczno-syntaktycznym. Analiza przykładów wykazała, że dosłowny odpowiednik angielskiego intensyfikatora nie jest najczęstszym wyborem tłumaczy i że istnieje szeroka gama różnych struktur językowych – zarówno prostych, jak i złożonych – spełniających tę samą lub podobną funkcję. Różne rozwiązania tłumaczeniowe zawierają, oprócz intensyfikacji znaczeń, także znaczenia dodatkowe lub większy stopień intensyfikacji treści niż ten występujący w tekście oryginalnym. Wszystkie ekwiwalenty zawierają jednak element oceny jakościowej lub ilościowej, a ich dobór jest zgodny z kontekstem społeczno-kulturowym, czyli odpowiednim dla dzieci rejestrem językowym i naturalnością wypowiedzi.

Komentar k pregledu slovenskih prevodov poljske literaturę v letu 2018/Komentarz do słoweńskich przekładów literatury polskiej z 2018 roku

W artykule dokonano przeglądu słoweńskich przekładów literatury polskiej wydanych w 2018 roku. W tym czasie ukazało się siedem tytułów: dwie powieści, dwa tomiki poetyckie, broszura festiwalowa oraz dwie ilustrowane książki dla młodszych czytelników. Mimo wciąż niewielkich możliwości publikacji recenzji literatury tłumaczonej przełożone w 2018 roku tytuły wzbudziły wyjątkowe zainteresowanie krytyków literackich i recenzentów, które utrzymywało się również w 2019 roku. Jeśli chodzi o wydany w 2017 roku przekład powieści historycznej Olgi Tokarczuk Księgi Jakubowe, można mówić o nieco spóźnionej reakcji czytelników, gdyż w dużej mierze datuje się ją na 2019 rok. Słoweńscy krytycy literaccy niejednokrotnie poszukują w przekładach współczesnych polskich prozaików sygnałów aktualnych wydarzeń społecznych, a nawet politycznych. Niemniej w ostatnim czasie, zwłaszcza po 2018 roku, z zaskoczeniem obserwuje się większe zainteresowanie wydawców poezją. Prócz wyborów wierszy ukazują się także osobne tomiki poetyckie, a nawet dzieła zebrane. Trudno jednak przewidzieć, czy ten trend się utrzyma w przyszłości. Literaturą współczesną i najnowszą, w tym i poezją, zainteresowane są słoweńskie czasopisma literackie (tradycyjne i internetowe), a przede wszystkim literackie audycje radiowe.

This article presents the rise of translated Polish literature to the Macedonian language in the thirty years period since Macedonia gained independence from Yugoslavia and transformed from a socialist to a capitalist system. The rise of private publishing houses automatically meant the rise of translating from other languages; in addition, the rise of foreign funds and especially the financial support by the EU in culture was a relevant factor for developing literary translations from Polish to the Macedonian language. The main part of this article is about the works which have been translated, their importance and the methods used in making the choices on what to translate.

Among many contacts and similarities between Croatian and Polish cinematic and literary modernism, it is quite interesting to note that Zrinko Ogresta adapted the writings of Marek Hłasko in his feature film Washed Out (Isprani). The comparison of Ogresta’s film to the literary source, The Eighth Day of the Week (Ósmy dzień
tygodnia), before any extensive discussions of wider context, should ascertain the answer to a more elementary question — how close is the story of Ogresta’s film to its Polish literary inspiration?

Dorota Gołek-Sepetliewa

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 31-12-2020 | Abstrakt | s. 47-58

This article discusses Olga Tokarczuk’s presence in Bulgaria, drawing on R. Cudak’s theory of reception while presenting translations, strategies of publication and promotion, literary and critical reflection, and non-literary forms of reception. Widescale, effective, and multi-dimensional promotion, reliable translation (S. Borisova, D. Hamze, H. Simeonova-Mitova, G. Krastev), as well as the openness and interest of readers, have created possibilities for an increase in the popularity of Olga Tokarczuk’s works in Bulgaria within the last two decades. The development in Bulgarian culture of critical and literary thought surrounding Tokarczuk’s works (M. Grigorova) is accompanied by the presence of book translations and other selected texts in leading newspapers and magazines („Literaturen vestnik”, „Panorama”, „Kultura”), constituting a significant platform for the popularization of Polish literature.

Modernizm międzywojenny: Nałkowska i Krleža – metafora »niedobre miłości« literaturach polskiej i chorwackiej

Tea Rogić Musa

Język: ##locale.name.hr_HR## | Data publikacji: 06-12-2021 | Abstrakt | s. 1-23

U radu se pokušava elaborirati narav paralelizma između dvaju modernizama, onako kako su se znakovi književne epohe očitovali u ovdje izabranim proznim djelima Zofje Nałkowske i Miroslava Krleže. Sama činjenica da je u sinkroniji s uzletom recepcije njezinih djela u domaćoj, poljskoj sredini Nałkowska prevedena na hrvatski
jezik nema relevantnost kao književnopovijesni predmet ako se u raspravu ne uključi pitanje, čiji je odgovor krajnji cilj ovoga rada, pripadaju li Nałkowska i Krleža istoj vrsti europskoga modernizma i što taj pojam u poljskoj i hrvatskoj književnosti označuje u međuratnom razdoblju.

Analiza porównawcza opisów przemocy w polskich przekładach powieści Rebecca Daphne du Maurier (1938)

Katarzyna Jaworska-Biskup

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 28-09-2024 | Abstrakt | s. 1-22

Daphne du Maurier to znana na całym świecie autorka powieści określanych mianem gothic fiction i gothic romance. W swej bogatej twórczości, która stała się inspiracją dla wielu reżyserów filmowych, w tym mistrza grozy Alfreda Hitchcocka, pisarka kreuje barwne obrazy nasycone agresją i grozą. Bohaterowie du Maurier doświadczają wszelakiego rodzaju przemocy, zarówno fizycznej i psychicznej, jak również seksualnej. Sceny agresji budują napięcie, stanowią punkt kulminacyjny, obnażają stany psychiczne bohaterów. Obrazom walki i obrony towarzyszą momenty strachu, przerażenia i paniki, które du Maurier szczegółowo opisuje na kartach swych książek. Zadaniem tłumacza jest odwzorowanie ładunku emocjonalnego zawartego w oryginale, co — jak pokazuje zgromadzony materiał badawczy — nie zawsze jest przedsięwzięciem udanym. Artykuł stanowi próbę analizy wybranych scen przemocy w powieści Rebecca du Maurier i dwóch polskich przekładach. Badaniu przyświeca chęć odpowiedzi na następujące pytania: a) za pomocą jakich środków językowych i stylistycznych kreowana jest przemoc w oryginale i przekładzie? b) na ile obrazy przemocy stworzone przez polskich tłumaczy są spójne z obrazami pióra du Maurier? c) z jakimi trudnościami zmaga się tłumacz twórczości du Maurier, a szerzej gatunku gothic literature?

Polska wersja Wzniesienia Milena Ruskowa

Kamen Rikev

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 30-10-2019 | Abstrakt | s. 17-26

The article comments on Milen Ruskov’s third novel Summit (The Heights / Възвишение, 2011) and its critical acclaim in Bulgaria. Set in 19th-century milieu, the revolutionary struggles and the novel’s unique language have been indicated by critics as its most outstanding aspects that provoke new debates on the national and linguistic identity of contemporary Bulgarians. At the same time the novel’s Polish translation by Magdalena Pytlak (Wzniesienie, 2017) poses other questions concerning the promotion of modern Bulgarian culture abroad, the translatability of Ruskov’s work and the translator’s strategies in terms of successfully “importing” Bulgarian literature into the Polish context.

Parateksty w przekładach Jozefa Hvišča

Zuzana Obertová

Język: ##locale.name.sk_SK## | Data publikacji: 30-12-2024 | Abstrakt | s. 1-14

Przez ostatnie dwa dziesięciolecia nieustannie wzrasta zainteresowanie osobowością tłumacza i rolą, jaką odgrywa on w procesie translatorskim. Jednym ze sposobów pokonania „niewidzialności” tłumacza jest badanie peritekstów zapisanych przez niego w dziele przekładowym. W kontekście przekładów polsko-słowackich wyrazisty ślad pod tym względem zostawił po sobie literaturoznawca i tłumacz Jozef Hvišč. Jest autorem posłowi we wszystkich swoich tłumaczeniach literatury polskiej na język słowacki, a także w wydaniach licznych dzieł innych tłumaczy. Jego erudycyjne periteksty rozpatrują przetłumaczone utwory w kontekście historyczno- i krytycznoliterackim. Są demonstracją powodów, dla których książki ukazały się w przekładzie i wzbogacają kulturę przyjmującą.

Trzydzieści lat nieobecności. Chorwacka książka dla dzieci w Polsce (1990—2020)

Magdalena Ewa Ślawska

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 29-11-2022 | Abstrakt | s. 1-28

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zbadanie, w jaki sposób zmiany, które na przestrzeni ostatnich trzydziestu lat dokonały się na gruncie rynku książki dla dzieci w Polsce wpłynęły na wybór utworów dla dzieci chorwackich autorów, które poddano procesowi tłumaczenia i udostępniono polskim czytelnikom, a także ich funkcjonowanie i recepcję na gruncie kultury docelowej. Dzięki przeprowadzonym analizom będzie można oszacować rozmiar oraz kształt, jaki w badanym okresie chorwacka literatura dla dzieci przybrała w Polsce. W centrum mojego zainteresowania znajdą się przede wszystkim mechanizmy selekcji utworów – motywacje wydawców, podejmowane przez nich decyzje oraz konsekwencje ich wyborów. Analizy mechanizmów wyboru tekstów do tłumaczenia przez polskich wydawców oraz ich konsekwencji dokonam w oparciu o teorię pola literackiego Pierre’a Bourdieu.
