Przekład omówiony, czyli o statusie i funkcji paratekstu (na przykładzie serii Biblioteka Duchowości Europejskiej)

Izabela Lis-Wielgosz

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Discussed Translation: On the Status and Function of Paratext in the series Library of European Spirituality

The article discusses the status and function of paratext based on theseries of trans lations titled Biblioteka Duchowości Europejskiej (Library of European Spirituality). The series itself has been initiated by the Polish Paleo-Slavic community and was published more than ten years ago. The article’s authoress refers to the definition and classification of paratext elaborated on by Gérard Genette, which has been applied to considerations over translation studies for a long time and served as the basis for distinguishing strategies selected by translators as well as identifying the reception space. In the discussion on paratext, the role of the author of a translation is also taken into account, especially the issue of his or her presence, namely: the translator’s visibility, intentionality, and subjectivity revealed by his or her choices. The reflection made on paratexts, which regards only one series, does not exploit the complicated matter of the problem — it rather inscribes itself into the broader discussion which seems neither to exhaust the subject nor to provide satisfaction, since it forces the researcher to face the field demanding other explorations and contemplations. Yet even this general or superficial outline of the problem exposes or confirms the academic arrangements concerning usefulness and functionality of paratext in the process of translating literary works from one system to another. The article also postulates that translation should be incorporated in the space of destination culture, which may assure the translator (the secondary author) full reception of their text, thus allowing the translator’s work to come nearer to the primary reception namely, to assimilate to the process occurring in the realm of departure culture.

There were translated about thirty books of Serbian literature in the period from 2007 to 2013, most of them were books of poetry.

Antonina Kurtok

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Miljenko Jergović in and about Poland — Notes in the Margin while Discussing Wilimowski the Novel

The article gives a brief summary of Miljenko Jergović’s literary presence in Poland. It concentrates upon the writer’s poems, short stories, novels and essays hitherto translated into Polish and published in Poland. Additionally, Jergović’s manifold connections with Poland are presented, starting with the history of his cooperation with Magdalena Petryńska, who translated all of his novels into Polish. This translator’s impact on the writer’s popularity in our country is underscored. Within this scope, the article concentrates on the Jergović’s “most Polish” work, a short novel entitled Wilimowski. Thanks to Petryńska’s efforts, the book was published in Polish in April 2016, which constituted the novel’s world premiere. The article concisely addresses and describes the circumstances of Wilimowski’s several editions, concurrently discussing motives behind the writer’s interest in Poland (among others, the novel’s protagonist — a Polish football player Ernest Wilimowski), and the book’s reception in Poland. Last but not least, Jergović’s writing technique is characterized along with leitmotifs of his literary works.

Pisati da bi se shvatilo: Sarajevo i Chicago na engleskom, bosanskom i poljskom

Amela Ljevo-Ovčina

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Writing to Understand: Sarajevo and Chicago in English, Bosnian and Polish

The paper discusses Aleksandar Hemon's literary oeuvre through the prism of reception of The Book of My Lives in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Poland. In the present paper, we analyse the function of paratextual elements on the basis of the translations of the Bosnian-American author from English into Bosnian and Polish taking into consideration the fact that the author wrote in English, but reflecting on his Bosnian childhood, his youth, and the period after he moved to the United States of America. The present paper recognizes and emphasizes that Hemon, who writes in English without forgetting his mother tongue, is using subtle emphasis to describe the world and his place in it by means of calm but self-confident expression. The paratextual elements are used to direct and decompress, which enhances the experience of living and writing at two different places and in two languages so that once the experience has been transferred, its language is comprehensible, inspirational, and familiar to the reader. The paper analyses the title, biographical notes and other paratextual elements the editors and publishers selected to present the cultural aspects, the relevance, the quality of artistic persuasion and accomplishment, and the overall literary value as the truly essential value of this and all other literary works the role of which is to illuminate relations through experiences and contribute to understanding but also changing the human and the world.

Leszek Małczak

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Between politics and aesthetic — about the reception and translation of Brešan’s Predstava “Hamleta” u selu Mrduša Donja

Predstava “Hamleta” u selu Mrduša Donja is the most popular Croatian and former Yu­goslav drama and play in Poland. The Polish translation of Predstva… was published in the magazine Dialog (nr. 1/1975) and then in 1988 in the book Antologia współczesnego dramatu jugosłowiańskiego. The first play was realised in Zielona Góra in 1975, the last one in Krakow in 2009. In total, Brešan’s text was played in 16 Polish theatres. The subject of the analisys is the reception and translation which oscillates between two opposite poles: universal interpeta­tion which emphasises human, timeless meaning of the drama and political interpretation which emphasises political and social context presented in the drama.

O stereotypach w recepcji literatury chorwackiej w Polsce w latach 1944—1956

Leszek Małczak

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Stereotypes in the reception of Croatian literature in the period of 1944—1956

There are two stereotypes in the reception of Croatian literature in the period of 1944—1956. Yugoslavia was a political ally for Comunist and Slavic countries in the begining. After 1948, after the Cominform Resolution of June 28th, it became one of their worst enemies. In the first period from 1944 to 1948 the Yugoslav authors present literature as coherent Yugoslav literature, with Polish reviewers insisting on the diffrences between the Yugoslav republics. Yugoslav literature in this period was about war, and writers are judged according to their political profiles and attitude during the World War II. The ones who symphatized with Partisans were progressive, the ones who lived in the occupied coutries were under the harmful infulence of Western culture, with its bourgeois values. After the Cominform Resolution, the literatures of the various Yugoslav republics are presented as homogeneous with no cultural differences. Every type of communication between Yugoslavia and Poland is broken down at that time. There is war rethoric in extremely negative Polish presentations of literary production in Yugoslavia in the second period.

Key words: reception, cultural policy, stereotype, Cominform Resolution.

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.

The primary purpose of this publication is to describe the last thirty years, comparing and organizing the phenomena in the reception of Czech literature for children and young adults in Poland after 1989. The mutual Polish-Czech relations and the reconstruction of the Polish publishing system had a significant impact on the nature and intensity of this reception. The relations from the end of World War II to 1989 were limited by specific political, economic, and cultural conditions and controlled by the state institutions established for that purpose.

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.

„Zbiór ten nie zostanie bezużytecznym w księgarstwie ciężarem…”, czyli Narodowe Pieśni Serbskie wybrane i przełożone przez Romana Zmorskiego

Izabela Lis-Wielgosz

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

“This collection will not be a useless burden for the book trade” that is, Serbian folk Songs selected and translated by Roman Zmorski

In the article, the collection of Serbian folklore song translations, entitled Serbian Folk Songs, is regarded. The collection itself was prepared and published in 1853 and 1855 by Roman Zmorski. Located in the centre of consideration, it also becomes a pretext for a reflection on the essence of a literary text’s translation along with its communicational aspect and the role of the translator in the process of the fusion concerning two axiological systems, two cultural horizons — the initial one and the final one. Furthermore, the article serves to present a traditional translation in the nineteenth century: the reception of South Slavonic (Serbian) folklore poetry. The considerations dedicated to the translation theme and the translator’s role concentrate not on the philological issues themselves, but rather on the broadly comprehended intercultural phenomenon which means a process and the result of a transposition of the text from one cultural realm to the other. Besides the exposition of the translation meaning in the relational, dialogical aspect, its fundamental conditions are emphasized. They refer to the historical and cultural contexts, sources’ selection, and intentional operation on the primary text together with its translation understood as a specific sort of interpretation and communication.

Key words: Serbian folklore songs, folklore poetry, translations, translator, reception, collection

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.

Bariery kulturowe w przekładzie artystycznym na przykładzie słoweńskiego przekładu Pana Tadeusza Rozki Štefan

Nikolaj Jež

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Cultural barriers in a literary translation on the basis of the Slovenian translation of Pan Tadeusz by Rozka Stefan

On the one hand, the overview of the Slovene reception of Pan Tadeusz reveals typical cul­tural barriers which have marked the comprehension of the Polish Romantic Epic by the Slovene public, while on the other hand it also reveals that the tendency of Mickiewicz to distance him­self from the style of High Romanticism brought the original, on its very publication, closer to the Slovene cultural tradition. The evaluation of the poem by Matija Čop, Slovene scholar and theoretician, has eliminated the barriers experienced by readers of the original and outlined a framework for the Slovene reception of Polish Romanticism, as well as creating a basis for the formation of a Slovene version of the Polish Romantic literary canon.

In the Slovene environment, the awareness of barriers in the translation of Polish Romantic poetry has been focused mainly on the questions of metrics and versification. In her transla­tion of the poem (1974), R. Štefan applied the principle of the substitution of thirteen-syllable verse with the syllabotonic iambic structure (with deviations in caesura and sound figures). Pan Tadeusz also constitutes a barrier on the levels of lexis and style; „Old Poland virtue” equiva­lents are manifest in the use of personal names, rhetorical figures, and in the naming of realia. For the most part, the translator preserved the original names, which, being anthroponyms, are functional but of a limited denotative value (Podkomornik, Vojski, Vozni). In selecting lexical equivalents, one observes in the translation a noticeable tendency towards lowering the status pertaining to the rural-country environment typical of the Slovene rural community. The princi­ple of preserving the specifics of the original is respected to the extent permitted by the lexical and structural features of the Slovene language. The Polish name forms of the central characters acquire distinctive Slovene phonetic features (Tadej, Zosja, Matej, Gervazij), while the names of minor characters retain their original form (Rymsza). As a characteristic translation strategy, neutralisation is adopted in historical expressions related to the cultural model of Sarmatian nobility, having no translation equivalents in the target language. The translator aimed to resolve the cultural barriers in three ways: lexeme replace­ment, neutralisation of stylistically marked expressions, and preservation of original expressions.

Key words: Rozka Štefan, Pan Tadeusz in the Slovenian translation, Adam Mickiewicz, cultural barrier in the translation, metrics and versification in the translation.

Twórczość poetycka Nikołaja Kynczewa w Bułgarii i Polsce

Dorota Gołek-Sepetliewa

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 11-07-2022 | Abstrakt | s. 1-12

This article presents analyses and interpretations of the work of the Bulgarian poet Nikolay Kanchev (1936—2007), collected in the Polish-language volume Against the Absence (2020), translated by Wojciech Gałązka. It takes into account the critical context of the Polish and Bulgarian reception of Nikolay Kanchev’s poetry. The
presence of Nikolay Kanchev’s work in Poland since the 1980s is possible thanks to the long-standing efforts of his translator, Wojciech Gałązka. In his homeland, the poet experienced the censorship’s rejection of his first two volumes Presence (1965) and As a Mustard Seed (1968), many years of silence (1968—1980), and a successful but belated reception since the 1990s. A review of historical-literary studies makes it possible to
identify the ideological and aesthetic choices of Kanchev’s poetry — neoclassicism, metarealism, conceptualism, philosophical intellectualism, laconicism, and paradoxicality.

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.

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Dora Gabe i Anna Kamienska — poetic dialogues

In this article poetic dialogues between the women poets and translators are represented as a conversation about the mother who is an inspiration for their artistic creativity. From this point of view the translation practice of Dora Gabe is described as palimpsest, because it gives the op­portunity for the language to expand so there is place for another, foreign language in its bounda­ries. In the process of erasing of the Polish source-text, the Bulgarian target-text is being fulfilled with translators’ creative energies. This translation strategy disrupts the stereotypical reception model of Polish poetry in Bulgaria, popularized by Boian Penev. It overcomes its asymmetrical patterns. Svetla Gurova’s and Blaga Dimitrova’s translations are analyzed as continuation of the palimpsest translation model, introduces by Dora Gabe.

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.

Lubomír Feldek’s concept of translation in the context of the Slovak translatological thoughts

In Poland, Slovak translatological thought is mainly associated with the concepts of Anton Popovič and his school of translation. The article presents an overview of the history of the development of translation and translation studies in Slovakia, and then discusses the poet Lubomír Feldek’s concept based on his practical experiences as an interpreter and critic of translation. Feldek, like Popovič treats translation as a form of communication, emphasizing a focus on the issues of reception. He presented his conception in the book Z reči do reči (1977), which was met with great interest by Slovak theoreticians of translation.

The article presents the polemical and critical opinions and acceptance and praise which were formulated at the time of the publication of the Feldek’s book, and the comments subsequent to the most recent controversy, which document the place of the views of the poet — translator in Slovak translatology.

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.

Key words: literature of exile, reception, Croatian translations, Polish translations, translation choices

Wypełnianie pola literackiego. O zmianie w recepcji literatury bułgarskiej w Polsce

Magdalena Pytlak

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 31-12-2020 | Abstrakt | s. 25-34

This article is a commentary on the changing reception of Bulgarian literature in Poland in 2018 and 2019. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of the literary field, it shows the mechanisms of recognition by the main actors within the field, including publishers, media, and others. The analysis focuses on three books translated from Bulgarian to Polish in 2018: Sofia Berlin, by Plamen Doynov, and Koniec minotaurów (The End of the Minotaurs) and Fizyka smutku (The Physics of Sorrow), both by Georgi Gospodinov. The analysis is made on two levels. One is generic, owing to the fact that two of the three books are poetry. The second is authorial, as two of the books are by the same author.

Recepcja słoweńskiej literatury dla dzieci w Polsce 1990—2020

Alicja Wang

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 20-02-2024 | Abstrakt | s. 1-15

The aim of this paper is to investigate the problem of reception of Slovenian children’s literature in Poland between 1990 and 2020. The author notices the fact that Polish translations of Slovenian children’s prose are very rare on the Polish book market. The author notices a complete lack of Polish translations of Slovenian children’s literature in the years 1990—2010, which was caused probably by societal and cultural factors, which changed after 2010.

Dušan Karpatský a česko-chorvatské literární vztahy

Matija Ivačić

Język: ##locale.name.cs_CZ## | Data publikacji: 17-08-2023 | Abstrakt | s. 1-14

This paper deals with the contribution of Dušan Karpatský (1935—2017) to the reception of Croatian literature in the Czech Republic, and Czech literature in Croatia since the 1960s until the present day. In his numerous translations, Karpatský worked tirelessly to introduce Czech readers to the achievements of Croatian (and
Yugoslav) literature, and vice versa. By selecting texts for his translations that were as current as possible, and by meeting high aesthetic criteria, made him influential in both cultural milieus where he played the role of an intermediary. His work in lexicography, bibliography, history of literature and non-fiction is also of great importance. His research has made Croatian culture permanently indebted to him because he discovered
and translated into Croatian the Prague Papers, written in Czech by the Croatian politician Stjepan Radić, and because he discovered a seven-language dictionary written by the Prague Benedictine monk Peter Loderecker, which was based on a five-language dictionary written by Faust Vrančić. Owing to all of the above, and much more, Karpatský is considered a key figure in literary and cultural communication between Croatia and the Czech Republic in the last six decades.

Obcy w nas i my w obcym: przekład jako różnica i podobieństwo czy przypominanie

Bożena Tokarz

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

A Stranger in Us and We in a Stranger: a difference and a similarity or a reminder

The knowledge on translation, which was developed by different methodologies and different disciplines, fulfills the need of taking into consideration the structurally-artistic issues by comparative literary studies, most basic for literature and literary studies, occupying the central place in comparative literature. This shift in comparative interests is accompanied by a revealing lack of works undertaking research into developmental-typological regularities in general literature. Moreover, with the central position of translation in this discipline, it is paradoxical that resigning from text and its subject matter in favour of reception and the results of functioning of translation in the target culture has been declared. While the dislike for systemizing and typologizing facts of general literature is doubly hard because of the disapproval of dogmatic theories and the difficulties within research into the abundance of literary material, the target, the place, the circumstances and the way of functioning in time and in culture are inherent parts of the linguistically-artistic structure, that is, everything that is within interests of the contemporary culturally oriented literary studies.

Key words: translation, comparative study, translation studies, hermeneutic, a „cultural turnabout”.

Polska polityka wydawnicza na przykładzie tłumaczeń prozy rosyjskiej lat zerowych

Irina Ermashova

Język: RU | Data publikacji: 03-11-2023 | Abstrakt | s. 1-17

Głównym tematem artykułu jest wpływ polityki wydawniczej na recepcję prozy rosyjskiej lat zerowych (проза „нулевых”) w Polsce. W jakim stopniu i dlaczego zmienił się odbiór tej literatury w tym okresie? Wybór pierwszej dekady stulecia nie jest przypadkowy. Według różnych ekspertów (kulturowych, ekonomicznych,
politycznych itp.) była to mała epoka pewnego rodzaju pokojowego współistnienia Rosji ze światem zewnętrznym, rodzaj restartu, zerowania, przerwy między napięciami politycznymi, okres wychodzenia z rosyjskiej izolacji i chęci wpasowania się w kontekst zachodni. Jednak zainteresowanie było obustronne. Wiele krajów, m.in. Polska, chciało poprzez literaturę ponownie zapoznać się ze złożonym, wielostrukturowym krajem.

Gottland Mariusza Szczygła w czeskim przekładzie i jego czeska recepcja

Izabela Mroczek

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Czech translation of Mariusz Szczygieł’s Gottland and its Czech reception

Mariusz Szczygieł’s Gottland presents Czech modern history by descripting “private stories” of people, that are unknown or slightly known in Poland. Among them we can find: Tomáš Bat’a, Lída Baarová, Otakar Švec, Karel Fabián, Marta Kubišová and Evald Schorm. Czech critiques underline, that this book shows the character of Czech nation, is a mirror of Czech complexes and traumas. An enormous popularity of Gottland in Czech Republic proves, that Czechs still need publications, which could help with describing their modern identity and their position among European nations. Despite of its popularity, we can find many differences between original text and its Czech translation made by Helena Stachová: not only in dates and names, but also in citations and dialogues introduced to Polish book in Mariusz Szczygieł’s translation from Czech language.

W części pierwszej dziesiątego tomu publikujemy artykuły, które stanowią rezultat konferencji zatytułowanej „Peryferie i przekład”, zorganizowanej w dniach 11—13 października 2018 roku w Ustroniu. Zainteresowanie kategorią peryferyjności z jednej strony stanowi konsekwencję ponowoczesnego kryzysu wielkich narracji, z drugiej strony ma wymiar uniwersalny, ponieważ zjawiska peryferyjne (nieeksploatowane lub niedostrzeżone w kulturze) w każdej epoce przyciągały pisarzy i artystów. Autorzy prezentowanych artykułów tytułowy problem rozpatrują z wielu perspektyw i stanowisk badawczych, opierając się na zróżnicowanym materiale językowym. Wśród podejmowanych tematów znalazły się takie kwestie, jak: eksperyment w przekładzie; przekład jednego ze słowackich dialektów na standard językowy; dokonywane za pośrednictwem języka polskiego przekłady literatury angielskiej i literatury rosyjskiej na regionalny język kaszubski; problem polskiej recepcji literatury staroserbskiej; możliwość przekładu na język trzeci swoistego dialogu, jaki prowadzą ze sobą kanadyjscy poeci: francusko- i anglojęzyczny; problem potencjalnego przekładu literatury wyobrażonej z języka polskiego na język angielski; w dwóch odległych czasowo i przestrzennie przypadkach relacje między twórczością przekładową i twórczością własną; przekład powieści gejowskiej czy figury retorycznej onomatopei; problem literatury mniejszościowej oraz „literatury z kulturalnych peryferii”, która trafiła na salony; polska recepcja czeskiej myśli strukturalistycznej; przekład jako forma promocji oraz sytuacja, kiedy błędny przekład okazuje się sukcesem. Wśród autorów dzieł, których przekłady stały się tematami poszczególnych artykułów, znaleźli się między innymi (niektórzy z nich występują w podwójnej roli — autora dzieła oryginalnego i autora dzieła tłumaczonego): Adam Mickiewicz, Wisława Szymborska, Julian Tuwim, Michał Witkowski, Robert J. Szmidt, Jan Mukařovský, Bohumil Hrabal, Milan Kundera, August Šenoa, Herta Müller, Jozef Kolarčik-Frantický, Edward D.

Attributive errors — their psychological distribution, possible evaluation and elimination in the translating process

This paper attempts to provide for the psychological mechanisms of attribution, which appear in secondary text reception and evaluation of the role of the interpreter. The mechanisms described in the article relate to the difference in the perspective of the actor (the translator) and the observer (reader) and are described in the context of the stereotypes that appear in the source text and secondary text. The author acknowledges that the process of stereotyping is inevitable and at each step the reader asks the question about the (non) translatability is well founded, but is doomed to impose excessive “psychologization”.

Paradoksy antologizacji poezji polskiej w przekładach na język bułgarski

Adriana Kovacheva

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

The Paradoxes of Polish Poetry’s Anthologising in Bulgarian Language Translations

This article explores two paradoxes related to the concept of the Anthology of Contemporary Polish Poets that are associated with stereotypes about Polish poetry which exists amongst Bulgarian readers and researchers. The first paradox is related to the establishment of a model of the reader, introduced by Boyan Penev in his anthology from 1921, which limits opportunities for comparative reading of the proposed anthologized material. The second paradox is the discrepancy between the statements made in the introduction to the anthology that the relationships between literary phenomena of the periods before and after the Second World War will be clarified and elaborated and the actual omission of the role of the vanguard in the development of the Polish poetry. This paradox is caused by attempts to impose stereotyped notions of poetics and ideology of the literary avant-garde in the time the anthology was published.

Key words: anthology, anthologising, translation history, bulgarian contemporary poetry, stereotypes in literary reception

Polski dramat w Serbii w latach 1990—2006 / Polish drama in Serbia between 1990 and 2006. Author Name: Jadwiga Sobczak

Jadwiga Sobczak

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

The research on translation of Polish drama to the languages of former Yugoslavia countries is becoming an interdisciplinary discourse. This is because the theatrical reception is wider than the literery one and Polish drama and theatre plays an important role in the history of the culture of South Slavonic countries after the World War II. The period between 1990 and 2006, that is analysed in this article of Polish drama publications in Serbia, is especially important for Balkans because of undergoing war. Due to the situation that paralyses cultural activity, therewas only one drama published in Belgrad translated by Biserka Rajcic (I. Villquist Helver’s Night) and there were four excerpts of contemporary dramas in the magazine Polja translated by Zoran Djeric (P. Jurek Porno Generation, M. Pruchniewski Łucja and her children, P. Sala Good from now on, A. Saramanowicz Testosteron). The author emphasizes translation dilemmas that emerged in theatre scenarios that are far away from literery translations also the ones that weren’t published. She also suggests looking at theatrological research that would show more of Polish drama in many Slavonic languages and cultures.

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.

O recepcji tłumaczeń czeskiej literatury bestsellerowej w Polsce (na przykładach tłumaczeń książek Michala Viewegha, Ireny Obermannovej i Haliny Pawlowskiej) / About reception of translations of Czech bestseller literature to Polish (based on translations

Izabela Mroczek

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

Czech so called „bestseller literature” is represented in Polish readers’ enviroment by translations of Michal Viewegh’s, Irena Obermannová’s and Halina Pawlowská’s books. These authors are celebrities in Czech Republic, their activity (both as writers and TV programms’ moderators) evokes distinct cultural connotation. Their books are extremally popular and best selling on domestic market. But in Poland all these authors are slightly known. We can find reasons of such situation in many levels: in a lack of marketing actions accompanying their books on Polish market, lack of information about these authors, in an existence of pattern of Czech culture and literature in Polish readers’ consiousness that approves high artistic literature and depreciates bestseller literature.

Długa droga do litewskiego przekładu Traktatu poetyckiego Czesława Miłosza

Beata Kalęba

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 29-12-2021 | Abstrakt | s. 1-20

W 2021 roku ukazał się litewski przekład Traktatu poetyckiego Czesława Miłosza pióra Tomasa Venclovy. Niniejszy artykuł powstał z inspiracji tym wydarzeniem literackim. Pierwsza część szkicu jest poświęcona rekonstrukcji obecności utworów Miłosza w litewskiej literaturze przekładowej od lat 30. XX wieku po dziś dzień oraz miejscu Miłosza w edukacji literackiej w litewskich i polskich szkołach na Litwie. O ile w szkołach Miłosz jest czytany przede wszystkim przez pryzmat obecnych w jego utworach tematów i motywów litewskich, o tyle historia tłumaczeń ukazuje, że zainteresowanie nim wśród Litwinów rozwijało się dwutorowo: po pierwsze — ze względu na osobiste kontakty pisarza nawiązane jeszcze przed II wojną światową w Wilnie (np. z poetą i tłumaczem Juozasem Kėkštasem); po wtóre — ze względu na to, że problematyka twórczości Miłosza, zwłaszcza tej z lat 40., 60., odpowiadała na potrzeby intelektualne i estetyczne części pisarzy i intelektualistów litewskich tamtego czasu. Chodzi tu o środowisko emigracyjne, reprezentowane przez literatów i artystów skupionych wokół czasopisma „Literatūros lankai” (1952—1959) oraz intelektualistów związanych z liberalnym ruchem Santara-Šviesa (1957); to jemu poświęcona jest druga część artykułu.

This text examines the reception of Polish literature into professional Bulgarian publications for literature and art. It submits to a discussion the following sources: The special issue of „Literaturen westnik” („Literary Weekly”) entitled Polish Literature of the Nineties, no.11 (22.—28.03.2000), devoted entirely to the changes occurred in Polish literature and artistic life at the end of the past century; and no. 18 (8.—14.05.2002) of the same journal presents under the title Polish Nike, presents the most prestigious Polish literary award and its laureates during the years 1997—2002. Mentioned above journal „Literaturen westnik” („Literary Weekly”) had two more special issues: Literature on Heel – or Better Literature, no. 35 (2.—8.11), and Literature before the Mirror or Better Literature, no. 6 (15.—21.02), published in 2006, both focused on Polish women’s feminist writers. The article takes also into account the issue of „Panorama”, no. 3 (2002), which gives an overview of Polish literature translated into Bulgarian after 1989. Included into this discussion is the periodical „Kritika”, no. 3—4 (2006); it gives a survey of the most interesting statements of Polish literary critical thought in the same period, that is, after 1989. Similarly, the „Slavianski dialozi” („Slavic Dialogues”), no. 8 (2007), that presents some most important ways of development in contemporary Polish culture.

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

Jana Unuk

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 31-12-2020 | Abstrakt | s. 297-311

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.

There is no other way but comparative studies and translation studies

The world we live in seems to be created for comparative-translation studies. There is real revolution, the change of system in the humanities and philology studies; there is the end of one world and the beginning of new digital era. Research methods and research themes are changing. On the one hand literature has lost its position in society and this is why a new formula of comparative studies cannot be limited to literature or culture but comparative studies must take into account non-artistic spheres of man’s activity; philology studies, if they want to survive, cannot be limited to exclusively literary, text oriented studies. On the other hand age of Internet, globalization, communication, transcultural society cannot function without translation which is the best way to get to know other cultures and enrich each other. The space between culture and languages, border zone which implies multiperspectivism seems to be the most appropriate for neo-philology studies and research.

Key words: comparative studies, translation studies, reception, Croatian Studies abroad

(Błędny) przekład jako sukces literacki

Marta Skwara

Język: EN | Data publikacji: 29-06-2020 | Abstrakt | s. 29-46

Oba pojęcia — błędny przekład i sukces literacki — dalekie są od klarowności i jednoznaczności, co z jednej strony prowadzi do rozmaitych ograniczeń, ale i do potencjalnie odkrywczych nowych odczytań z drugiej. Co więcej, różnica między przekładem a błędnym przekładem nie jest łatwa do ustalenia (zwłaszcza w przypadku poezji), podobnie jak trudne jest wymierzenie sukcesu literackiego. Oprócz świadectw recepcji pozostają nam przede wszystkim kryteria estetyczne w cenie zarówno sukcesu literackiego, jak i — do pewnego stopnia — udatności przekładu. Aby przedyskutować te nieostre, ale połączone z sobą pojęcia, sięgam do trzech przypadków. Najpierw skupiam się na dwóch niewątpliwych przykładach błędnego przekładu i sukcesu literackiego, aby wskazać możliwe (i niemożliwe) kryteria oceny obu zjawisk. Następnie przechodzę do konkretnego przypadku (błędnego) tłumaczenia i sukcesu literackiego (Romantyczność Mickiewicza w wersji Audena), aby nieco inaczej naświetlić omawiane zagadnienia. Wreszcie konfrontuję szczegółowo analizowany przekład z innym, pozornie podobnym (Dzieci epoki Szymborskiej w przekładzie Bassnett i Kuhiwczaka), ale dającym odmienny efekt końcowy. W zakończeniu wskazuję, na czym może polegać różnica w ocenie błędności lub poprawności przekładu i jego sukcesu czytelniczego.

Granice nowego dramatu serbskiego — płynne i stale wytyczane na nowo. Perspektywa lokalna i recepcja w Polsce

Gabriela Abrasowicz

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 31-12-2020 | Abstrakt | s. 175-202

Since the turn of the millennium, Serbian drama has been increasingly valued and recognized in the post-Yugoslav region and in Europe. In recent years, the process of globalization has become progressively stronger, with an improved infrastructure for promotion that has made possible the crossing of material and symbolic boundaries. This in turn has led to transformations in artistic expression, as well as increasing opportunities for mobility, co-productions, and translations. The status of the drama has been somewhat problematic because of its situation between literature and theatre. Its heterogeneous nature has required the development of an appropriate method of presentation. The performative/stage reading has emerged as a compelling answer.

Dzieci umarłych Elfriede Jelinek w pułapce marketingu. Poznawcze i pragmatyczne aspekty przekładu / Elfriede Jelinek’s Die Kinder der Toten (The Children of the Dead) entrapped by book marketing Cognitive and pragmatic facets of translation

Anna Majkiewicz

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 30-05-2019 | Abstrakt | s. 13-27

This article attempts to answer the question: why the Polish translation of a novel by Elfriede Jelinek The Children of the Dead (Die Kinder der Toten) did not stir any debate in the circles of literary criticism in Poland. While analysing the actions carried out as a part of the W.A.B.’s (a Warsaw-based publishing house) strategy to advance the publication process and to popularize Jelinek’s oeuvre, we may notice that they actually confirm the publisher’s endeavour to balance economic and symbolic capital (Bourdieu). It allows us to reconstruct the “marketing” aims of the translation in question. Yet both the cognitive and pragmatic facet of the Austrian Nobel Laureate’s Polish translation remain to be reconstructed by the readers.

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.
