On Slovak Translations of Wisława Szymborska’s Poems

This paper deals with the Slovak translations of poems by Wisława Szymborska who was awarded Nobel Prize in 1996. Twenty years later two collection of her poems were published in the Slovak language. The author of this paper summarized all translations of W. Szymborska’s poems into the Slovak language which have been published in literature magazines as well as books since 1952, the year of the poet’s debut. Since some poems were translated more than once by different translators, the phenomenon of retranslation is also discussed. Various translations of three poems are compared and analyzed in the paper as well.

Why Do New Translations Come into Being? Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita in a New Polish Translation

Literary works tend to be amongst the most often translated texts. A perfect example is Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel The Master and Margarita: over the previous two years (2016—2017) three new translations thereof into Polish appeared, one of them being a translation by Leokadia, Grzegorz, and Igor Przebinda. In this paper, the main reasons for the publication of this new, “family” translation were discussed. The question about the need for makeing new translations was accompanied by other questions: how are such texts translated what strategies are used by the translator?, to what extent does he or she take account of the assumed expectations of contemporary readers? In the presentation, two research perspectives were proposed. The first of them is the translator’s viewpoint, for whom the newly done translation is a domesticated translation. The other perspective, the researcher’s one, consist in analyzing the translated text itself, in particular with regard to the applied translation strategies (exoticization vs. adaptation), indicating the differences between the latest translation and the previous ones (first by Irena Lewandowska and Witold Dąbrowski, and second by Andrzej Drawicz). The analysis of the translated text along with the accompanying paratexts in the form of numerous footnotes leads one to a conclusion that exoticization is a dominant strategy.

KEY WORDS: domestication, exoticization, Master and Margarita, Mikhail Bulgakov

Paratekst w serii przekładowej — polskie przekłady dwóch wierszy Milivoja Slavička

Katarzyna Wołek San Sebastian

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Paratext in a Series of Translations: Polish Translations of Two Poems by Milivoj Slaviček

Paratext has a considerable impact on the shaping of the way in which a literary work is open to each translation, as well as the dynamics of this openness. Critical paratexts that refer to an existing translation prove that new attempts arise from the readers’ unfulfilled expectations. Peritexts, where the poetics of a given author is discussed, point out that the aesthetic value of a given work corresponds to the number of readings of that work (including translations). They also provide a justification (albeit not an indirect one) for individual translation solutions, similarly to paratexts, where the translator provides reflections on his or her own translation. On the other hand, elements of critical epitexts (i.e. reviews) oftentimes become an integral part of a new translated text in a series.

Obraz katolików i muzułmanów w polskich przekładach opowiadania Ivo Andricia U musafirhani

Leszek Małczak

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

The picture of Bosnian Catholics and Muslims in the Polish translations of Andrić’s short story U musafirhani

There are two Polish translations of Andrić’s short story U musafirhani. First one by Maria Znatowicz-Szczepańska was published in 1937. Second one by Alija Dukanović, Bosnian who settled and lived in Poland, was published in 1966. The story presents two Bosnians communities: Catholics and Muslims. The analysis of these two translations shows that the Catholic community is stonger in the Polish translations than in the original text. This tendency is more clear in Znatowicz-Szczepańska’s work. On the one hand the position of Catholics is much better and on the other hand their dependence on Muslims is smaller, as it was in real and as it is shown in Andrić’s pieace. In Dukanović’s translation there is a tendency to present Muslims in a better way as well. They are not so primitive, demanding and ruthless. Differences between translations corresponde with the context they were written. In the period between two world wars there was an antiphaty for the Muslim part of Bosnia which was treated as a dangerous element, warlike and communistlike. After The Second World War, during Communist times, rules unitarist ideology and it wasn’t coreect to emphasis civilizations, religious and national differences. It helps to understand both strategies of translations, why Marija Znatowicz-Szczepańska is very familiar with Catholics and very distanced from Muslims and at the same time why Alija Dukanović presents Muslims in a better way. Znatowicz-Szczepańska’s way of translation we can treat as domestication, Dukanović’s one as foreignization with strong element of the manipulation.

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.

A commentary on the Bibliography of Slovak literary translations in Poland in 2015

The author of the article considers the latest translations of Slovak literature in Poland in 2015. 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).

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.

Na dnu strani? Nejezikovne prevajalske opombe v izbranih prevodih novele Balada o trobenti in oblaku Cirila Kosmača

At the Foot of the Page? Non-linguistic Translators’ Notes in Selected Translations of The Ballad of the Trumpet and the Cloud by Ciril Kosmač

The translator’s notes in the Serbian, Russian, Polish, and German translations of the novella Balada o trobenti in oblaku (The Ballad of the Trumpet and the Cloud), written by a Slovenian writer, Ciril Kosmač, differ with regard to their formal and content features: the Serbian, Russian, and Polish translations contain footnotes; the German translation, on the other hand, has endnotes; content-wise, among the analysed texts, the Serbian translation occupies a special position, being the only one without the non-linguistic notes. The number of all the non-linguistic notes, explaining historical, mythological, geographical elements and everyday items, is relatively low — the Polish translation has eight such explicative notes, the Russian translation six and the German one has four; their absence in the Serbian translation may be a result of a higher socio-cultural proximity between Serbia and Slovenia in the 20th century. Despite their low number, the non-linguistic translator’s notes appear to be a very complex translation technique in the analysed translations ot Kosmač’s novella: on the one hand, they represent explanatory paratexts, added to facilitate the target reader’s comprehension of different text elements (even with a low narrative importance); on the other hand, however, they also enable the preservation of the source-text elements, contributing in such a way to the source-text orientation; translator’s notes are also a channel through which the translator and his wider socio-cultural background enter the target text in a more explicit way. The analysis of particular translations and their comparison has revealed also an intricate competition between translator’s notes and other translation techniques.

Básnický preklad na Slovensku po 1945 / Tłumaczenie poezji w Słowacji po 1945 r. (tłum. Marta Buczek)

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

The translation of poetry in Slovakia after 1945

After the clear dominance of naturalizing tendencies in the 1950s, when classic translations were preponderant, a predominance of up‑dated translations appeared. This was introduced by Feldek’s manifestation appearance in Mladá tvorba at the end of the 1950s and throughout the 1960s by the dominance of modern literature. This alternation of dominant tendencies is by no means mechanical, but it is also applicable in hindsight. Whereas in the period of Realism, naturalization tendencies (Kukučín, Hviezdoslav) seem dominant, the period of Modernism foregrounds those of exotization (Roy, Krasko). However, in the inter‑war period, exotization took turns with naturalization (Jesenský, Jesenská, Rázusová‑Martáková). J. Felix praises these translations although with respect to historization and modernization he is in favor of so‑called ‘vivification’, i.e. adapting translation to the epoch in which it originated, as well as the reader. Furthermore, Surrealists in the period of the Second World War and shortly before it seem to prefer modernization and exotization besides naturalizing translations. Thus, they bridge the period of naturalization from the 1950s to the 1960s when they became closer with the starting generation of Concretists. Again, after 1968 modernization was not pushed to the background mechanically; prime translations are still being modernized or up‑dated. After 1989, gradually after a wave of exotization, especially Americanization (shortly after the Revolution), attenuation of the modernizing and exoticizing methods in supreme translations, those of poems, in particular, may be observed, in contrast to what was referred to by Felix as vivification on a temporal axis and creolization, i.e. mixing of cultures, by Popovič. This is called an attenuated or classicist translation method; translation fulfils its basic role, it approximates to the style of a translated author and is at his service.

Key words: modernization, exotization, creolization, naturalization, Slovak translation theory of poetry

Translation as an Act of Subversion: About one of the Polish Translations of Historical Tragedy Zriny by Theodor Körner

The object of the analysis in this article is one of the Polish translations of historical tragedy of Theodor Körner entitled Zriny. The German author’s piece has been at least six times translated into Polish language and was — especially in the second part of the 19th century, after the collapse of January Uprising — very popular. The reason of the popularity was his subversion. Through Zriny it was possible to talk about a struggle for freedom — the theme forbidden by Russian censorship. Historical piece written by a foreign author, which talks about the struggle for freedom and for defence of the homeland, the struggle lead by someone else, in other time and place, became a medium for manifesting of patriotic feelings. This function of Polish Zriny confirms his interpretation in critics and one of the translations which was written by Ludwik Jenike in Russian occupation zone with all subversive translation shifts made by the translator.

Translation and World Literature

Compared to the original production within national literary systems, literary translations are traditionally regarded of lesser importance, although it is through translating that the representative works of world literature have been introduced into these very systems (Eysteinsson). The translation is constitutive of world literature, be it understood either as an aggregate of literatures expressed in all the languages of the globe, the canon of “eternal” artworks of humankind, or as the global space of inter-literary relations. The presumed universality of world literature is always already inscribed in particular literary systems through different variants and perspectives articulated by translations, the latter representing the most prominent form of cross -cultural circulation of literature.

Since cultural nationalism saw literature in the standard mother tongue as the pillar of national identity and the main evidence of the nation’s creative originality, literary translations were often discarded as mere derivatives restricted to the realm of cultural consumption. In the first half of the 19 th century, however, the quality and richness of the translation repertoire began to figure also as quasi-international standards for evaluating to what degree the particular “national” language and culture were developed. As early as post-positivist comparatistics, the translation was treated as an important factor of international literary mediation (e.g. Ocvirk), but it is only the late twentieth-century translation studies that raised the reflection on translation to the level of theory enabling to ground a paradigmatic shift of methods for the entire study of literature, in national and comparative literary studies alike (Bassnett, Even-Zohar).

The valorization of translation that is going on since the beginning of the 21st century has been decisively influenced by the global renaissance of Goethe’s Weltliteratur. More than a decade after Ďurišin’s theory of the world literary system and based on the reinterpretations of Goethe’s notion of world literature, a new scholarly paradigm is in full swing that attempts to transcend national literary history, comparative literature, and postcolonialism (Lawall, Casanova, Moretti, Damrosch, etc.). However, the translation was of key importance already in the historical beginnings of the conception of Weltliteratur, with which Goethe aimed at promoting humanist aesthetic cosmopolitanism, creatively reviving national literature and establishing German literature as a new hub of international literary life. The present article focuses on how experiencing translations had formed Goethe’s ideas of circulation and the self-reflection through otherness and how these ideas were recently reinterpreted by Damrosch and Thomsen. Juxtaposing works of various European and “Oriental” literatures (either in the original or in translation), Goethe reflected on his literary and cultural identity and discovered new qualities of his aesthetic experience.

Generally speaking, the translation — because of its position within the asymmetries of the world systems of economy, languages, and literatures — is not only the primary mode of transnational literary circulation and cross-cultural dialogism, but also the relay for the global spread of Western geo-culture and the hegemony of its aesthetic discourse. The possibility of a particular literary text to gain access to the global literary circulation depends, among other factors, on the fact whether the work in question has been produced in a “major” Western language or has been translated in a global language.

Key words: literary translation, world literature, literary systems, comparative literature, Goethe Johann W.

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.

Polskie przekłady dramatu słowackiego w latach 1990—2005 / Polish translations of slovak drama between 1990—2005

Lucyna Spyrka

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

The review of polish translation of slovak drama between 1990—2005 regards two areas of dramatic text’s circulation. They are: scenic area and literatury area, which are also two spaces for direct contact between recipient and a text of a drama’s translation. During an indicated time slovak drama were staged by polish theatres seldom, stagings of radio-plays were dominated. The reason is in insufficiency of slovak drama’s translations in polish. Translations from before 1989 weren’t published, they loos at translators’s archives and now stage managers haven’t approach to them. From the beginning of 90. years only four translations of slovak drama were published. They also weren’t staged by polish profesional theatres. The direct presence of slovak drama in Poland is almost zero. This situation is only slightly owing by translators’s decision about a text to translating. It’s also slightly owing by a quality of translations like a final effect of a translators’s choices during his work. The minimal knowlegde of polish recipient anout slovak drama and theatre is also very important agent.

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.

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 bibliography includes translations into the Silesian language made both in the standard script as well as in the non-standard one. The starting point for translations into the contemporary Silesian may be dated back to 2002. Since then, there have been irregularly published, usually in the form of collections, translations of various literary genres (with a preponderance of poetic forms) from dozen or so world languages, such as: Greek, Latin, French, German, Polish, Mandarin Chinese, English, Welsh, Russian, or the Upper Sorbian. No single translation from Silesian into other language is included, since heretofore no such a translation has been made.

There were little number of translations in the literary magazines and journals. The number of translations is quite big but the reception of Serbian literature and culture was weak. The wars which accompanied the decay of the Second Yugoslavia has had big negative influence on the reception of Serbian literature and culture. Nowadays, after the fall of communism, literary contacts depend on initiative of individuals, the institution of translation literature has gone through the process of privatization.

Key words: translation literature, Serbian literature in Poland, reception.

Polish translations of Croatian tales of long ago by Ivana Brlić‑Mažuranić

Despite the over one hundred years long popularity of Ivana Brlić‑Mažuranić in Croatia, her collection Croatian Tales of Long Ago remains almost absent in Poland. An attempt to determine the reasons for this absence involves the reconstruction of the circumstances of its Polish translations and the outline of the translators’ silhouettes, which leads to Wanda Pogonowska, who was a visual artist and a painter by education and who should be considered as the first Polish translator of the famous Croatian tales. Although she took on the translation twice (in the 1930s and 1950s) and has remained the only person who translated the entire collection into Polish, the final effect of her translation efforts, due to the problems with its publication, is still unknown, and the memory of Wanda Pogonowska is slowly fading away. Wiktor Bazielich was also an amateur translator but who made up for his lack of professionalism with his extraordinary perseverance and managed to publish in the interwar press his own translation of one fairy tale from the Brlić‑Mažuranić’ collection. The same tale about the fisherman Palunko was translated again forty years later by Magdalena Petryńska (unaware of the existence of the earlier Polish version), who, with her considerable achievements, in contrast to the pre‑war translators of Brlić‑Mažuranić, proudly represents the circle of the most outstanding contemporary Polish translators of South Slavic prose. Existing translations show that the translators adopted extremely different translation strategies. Wiktor Bazielich’s attitude, which could result from his intention of introducing Polish recipients to the realities of South Slavic culture or from the translator’s skills, is close to formal equivalence; while the procedure of Magdalena Petryńska was dictated by a concern for the communication comfort of the story’s recipients — children and can be described as functional equivalence.

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

„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.

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.

(tłum. Agnieszka Bukowczan i Joanna Cieślar)

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

Blossoming of Romance Language Literature Translations During the Era of Croatian Second Moderna: Translations of Spanish Literature in the Journal Krugovi

Sanja Knežević

Język: EN | Data publikacji: 09-12-2024 | Abstrakt | s. 1-20

Poets of second wave modernism in Croatian literature, and especially the generation of Krugovi journal poets, open up through translations from other literatures. There has been much talk about the importance of Anglo-Saxon translations penned by Antun Šoljan, Ivan Slamnig, and others, but it is also the generation that opened up to translations of Romance literatures. Translations from Romance literatures (especially Italian literature, and to a lesser extent Spanish) were viewed, due to post-war ideological and political circumstances, as somewhat subversive. However, with the appearance of the journal Krugovi (1952), translations of Italian, Spanish, and French literature experience a new boom. In this paper, I will examine the translation work of poet and editor of Krugovi, Nikola Milićević, and his translations of Spanish poets.

The reader of Herta Müller’s novels in translation seeks to get to know / acquaint onself with otherness in / through translation, which will be familiar to him or her in a manner consistent with the idiomaticity of the source language. Cognitive values are especially present in the topic offered by Herta Müller, that is, what living in a communist dictatorship means: constant fear of the secret police, reporting to authorities, individual incapacitation, censorship, thus — topics known to Czech and Polish readers from their own history.

Translations of Certain Contemporary Polish Prose Works into Czech — a Contribution to the Dialogue between Cultures

In his paper, the author deals with the topic of rendering the contemporary Polish  literature, created after the year 1989, into the Czech language. He reminds the reader of certain facts from the literary life of the last 20 years and analyses certain texts of the contemporary Polish prose which were translated into Czech. It is not guaranteed that the outcome of numerous translations will be ever printed. What is more, Polish literature is not systematically published in the Czech Republic. On the other hand, the translations which have been published may show a Czech reader Polish people and the contemporary Poland in a different light than it was done earlier. The researcher quotes D. Maslowska’s prose, who introduces a Czech reader to the subculture of „dreserzy”(„dresiarze”), which requires a translator to find an adequate style and language in order to render the whole context into the target language. Another approach to the issue of shattering the image of Poles has been taken by J. Witkowski, who looks at the specific gay community in his texts. Finally, in the last example, the author shows how M. Szczygiel, a Pole, views the Czech history in the XXth century (the prose Gottland). The author also mentions the fact that there have been analogical processes in both literary cultures (subject matter, selection of means of literature, etc.).

The unequal import of (literary) translations of male and female authors from Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia in German will be critically examined in this article regarding the following three aspects: 1. The gender differences in the quantity of translations; 2. The selection strategies for the translation of female authors, especially in the period from 1992 to 2012 (which mostly covers the period of the Yugoslav wars); 3. The role of female actors in the translatory field. The answers to these questions will show whether in this period one could speak of the “gender translation gap”.

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.

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.

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.

Semantic matrices of the cultures — Macedonian poem in Polish and Croatian reflection

This article describes the ways of transformations of the cultural-semantic elements in parallel translations of the Macedonian poetry. Their comparison through the material of lyric from 1955—1977 period (along with wide annotation in the perspective of communicational theory of translation) depicts differences in the extent of equivalency — ensuing from divergence of both traditions of intercultural relations. Croatian translations show much higher accuracy, articulateness and economy of forms of expression, relying on common extensive corps of south Slavonic lexis, often phraseology. Polish translations on many levels use a compensation — especially archaic stylisation, language embellishing advanced to affectation has high frequency. In the first case dominant method is usually syntagmatic translation or reproduction of the plates (cliches), in the second — applying of the functional cultural equivalents and deriving from the romantic heritage.

The purpose of this article is to show the ways of expressing the Macedonian category of witness in Polish translations of Macedonian prose. At the beginning we present the situation of the прекажаност category against a background of the other Slavonic languages and than we characterize this category and its grammatical exponents. After that we describe the problem of truth modality which the category of witness is included in. We particularly take into concideration Polish language and the Macedonian adverbs serving this function. In the final part of this article we present some examples showing the Macedonian прекажаност category which are taken from the Polish translations of Macedonian texts. It lets us get the representation of the practical usage of the devices approchable for translators.

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).

The atmosphere of a Serbian-Turkish borderland in the Polish translations of Borisav Stanković’s prose

Works of Borisav Stanković, who introduced the atmosphere of his home town Vranje, are the space of the two cultures dialogue: — his own (Serbian) and the strange (Turkish). The last one formed the mentality and the life style of the inhabitants of this region during more that five centuries of Turkish bondage. Thanks to the translations the picture of the Serbian-Turkish borderland has been recorded in Polish readers consciousness. The descriptions of family celebrations, ceremonies and rites interweave there with the scenes of everyday life. However, despite the strong Stanković’s bonds with the concrete geographical region, the reader can find in translations the universal message about human condition and about the man who — in the situation of confrontation with restrictions and prohibitions imposed by the society — loses his battles and cannot fulfil his emotional and physical needs.

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.

Robert Grošelj

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 06-12-2021 | Abstrakt | s. 1-24

Prispevek je posvečen analizi italijanskih in hrvaških prevodov izbranih konstruktivističnih pesmi (konsov) Srečka Kosovela, enega najpomembnejših slovenskih pesnikov (gre za sedem konsov v italijanskem prevodu Jolke Milič in hrvaškem prevodu Josipa Ostija). Prevedeni konsi (»rekonsi«) so bili analizirani glede na prevajalske strategije A. Chestermana (predvsem skladenjske, deloma tudi pomenske in pragmatične), obenem pa je bilo opredeljeno celostno prevodno razmerje med izhodiščnimi pesmimi in prevodi ter globalni prevajalski pristop. Analiza je pokazala, da tako v hrvaških kot v italijanskih prevodih Kosovelovih konsov prevladuje privzeti prevod, ki je pogostejši v hrvaščini; v italijanskih prevodih se pogosteje pojavijo druge skladenjske prevajalske strategije, enako velja za sinonimijo in pragmatično spremembo informacije; hrvaški prevodi dosledneje ohranjajo izhodiščne retorične sheme in so oblikovno bližje izhodiščnim konsom; v obeh prevodih se tipi povedi in tipografske značilnosti ujemajo z izhodiščnimi. Razlogi za razlike med hrvaškimi in italijanskimi prevodi lahko ležijo v jezikovnih razlikah, slogovnem vrednotenju prevodnih rešitev (v kontekstu ciljnega jezika in ciljne književne tradicije), interpretaciji in informativno-interaktivni vlogi prevajalca. Kljub razlikam pa lahko tako hrvaške kot italijanske »rekonse« — glede na izvirne pesmi — označimo kot poustvarjalne prevode (po F. R. Jonesu) oz. verodostojne prevode (po A. Lefeveru), kot metapesmi, ki skušajo mimetično poustvariti izhodiščno obliko (po J. Holmesu). Poleg tega lahko oboje prevode obravnavamo kot zvečine potujitvene: »rekonsi« skušajo ohranjati lastnosti Kosovelovih konsov — njihovo zgradbo, obliko, vsebino in sporočilo — in jih tako v njihovi večplastni razsežnosti predstaviti ciljnemu bralstvu.

Modernistyczna obsceniczność w przekładzie: ukraińskie i rosyjskie tłumaczenia Kochanka Lady Chatterley D.H. Lawrence’a u schyłku ZSRR

Andrij Saweneć

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 23-07-2021 | Abstrakt | s. 1-23

The paper focuses on Ukrainian and Russian translations of Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D. H. Lawrence, published in 1989 and 1990. The framework for the analysis is provided by Loren Glass’s idea of a significant role of obscene vocabulary in the aesthetics of the twentieth-century Anglo-American literary modernism. The comparison of the two translations shows significant differences in the translators’ approaches to rendering Lawrence’s sexual-based language.

In this commentary, we will limit ourselves to presenting the reception of Czech literature in Poland and Polish literature in the Czech Republic in the year 2018. Czech and Polish literature reaches its readers across their respective borders in several ways: via translations of books by well-known and esteemed writers; through representatives of the younger generation; and as translations of prose and poetry published in magazines. The reception of Polish and Czech literature has been very positive; specifically, there is a growing interest among Polish readers in Czech literary offerings.

Poezja w podroży i translatorskie synopsis. Komentarz do Bibliografii przekładów literatury chorwackiej w Polsce w 2018 roku

Katarzyna Majdzik Papić

Język: PL | Data publikacji: 31-12-2020 | Abstrakt | s. 63-77

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.

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.

O polskich przekładach nowej czeskiej „powieści praskiej” (M. Ajvaza, D. Hodrovej, J. Topola) / About Polish translations of a new Czech „Prague novel” (M. Ajvaz, D. Hodrová, J. Topol)

The article engages attention to the translation problems of a new „Prague literature”. It analyzes three polish translations of the following novels Podobojí by Hodrová, Druhé město by Ajvaz and Sestra by Topol. It underlines that L. Engelking overcame almost perfectly mixture of the styles, convention, words; but on the other hand he chooses the solutions that weaken the relation between Prague tradition and topography. The Prague context is important as a starting point, however in a translator strategy Prague specific is often subordinated to a general meaning.

Recepcja twórczości Olgi Tokarczuk w Bułgarii

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.

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

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.

Key words:  translations in 2015, translation choices, intercultural dialogue.

„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.

Słoweńskie wybory literatury polskiej: przekłady z lat 1990—2006 / Slovene choices from Polish literature: translations from 1990—2006

Bożena Tokarz

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

Between the years 1990 and 2006, about 50 Polish books (poetry, prose and drama) were translated in already independent Slovenia, also a lot of single poems, short stories and fragments of more substantial compositions. Slovene macrochoices from Polish literature on the one hand constitute continuation of the traditional presence in the Slovene culture, on the other hand they result from increasing language and encyclopedic competencies of the translators. The choices are defined by four criteria: Polishness, empathy, the desire to get to know the Polish mentality, the historically-literal process and personal motivation. The authors of choices and translations of Polish literature are translators belonging to many generations, differently evaluating the needs of a Slovene reader and the character of Polish literature and mentality. Although Polish literature is distinctly present in the Slovene literary life, in the Slovene choices from it dominates perspective of strangeness, with which translators from different generations familiarise the native recepient, choosing works belonging to the canon and often to the opposite pole.

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).

Obraz ojczyzny w polskich przekładach poezji Miloša Crnjanskiego

Małgorzata Filipek

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

The image of a homeland in the Polish translations of Miloš Crnjanski’s poetry

The translations of poems by M. Crnjanski were published in Poland before World War II. Currently, the Polish reader known the volume entitled Lyrics of Ithaca and three poems: Stražilovo, Serbia and Lament over Belgrade. The leitmotif of his poetry is the return to the homeland (Lyrics of Ithaca) and longing for it (poems). In Crnjanski’s poetry the homeland is symbolized by toponyms, whiche are already exhibited in the titles. They present some elements of tradition, e. g. a reference to folk songs (heroes: Prince Marko, Miloš Obilić) and Orthodox religion (churches, icons). The transfer of local names and some elements of foreign culture expose the exotic feature of this territory. It is an example of the cultural barrier and difficulties with understanding cultural context. The poetry by Crnjanski refers to a foreign space (Jan Mayen, Libon, Spain, Tuscany) which is exotic, not only for the Polish reader, but also for readers of the original texts.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fałszywi przyjaciele tłumacza i jego wierni wrogowie w praktyce bułgarsko-polskich tłumaczeń literackich

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Translator’s false friends and his true enemies in the practice of Bulgarian‑Polish artistic translation

Issues presented in the title are considered from the perspective of a practicing translator and illustrated with examples from the Polish translations of Bulgarian fiction. It is pointed out that for a professional translator the proximity of two languages, is more of an obstacle than a convenience. Different types of lexical interlinguistic homonyms (translator’s false friends) are viewed in comparison with corresponding translation solutions. The role of context and textual distribution of lexical units is highlighted. The specifics of phraseology as the object of translation is analyzed. A peculiar group of difficulties is generated by the so-called by the author „translator’s true enemies”, which include: problems caused by differences in the grammatical system of the two languages (distribution of prepositions; desemanticization of prepositions; the semantic load of double object, the specificity of the imperceptive mood, the abundance of pronominal forms) and subjective factors associated with creative behavior of the translator (lack of necessary pedantism; moments of inattention or fatigue, inadequate linguistic and extra-linguistic competence). In the end of the paper the possibility of translations and translators contributing in the development of Bulgarian-Polish lexicography is emphasized.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Keywords: English language, Bosnian language, Polish language, paratextual elements, publishers, reception, Aleksandar Hemon

Biografija uz prijevod: Hrvatski ilirac Medo Pucić o Adamu Mickiewiczu

Tea Rogić Musa

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Biography with a Translation: Croatian Illyrian Medo Pucić
on Adam Mickiewicz

This paper deals with and comments on the biography and description of the literary work of the Croatian author of the Romantic period, Medo Pucić, with a special review of the biography of Adam Mickiewicz which he wrote in Italian, along with translations of excerpts from Forefathers’ Eve. The objective of the paper is twofold: to establish a parallel between the two contemporaries in the context of wider Croatian-Polish literary connections of the 1830s and 1840s as well as to establish the value of biography as a literary-historic genre, especially when it is written in temporal synchrony with an intent to establish cultural reciprocity. In that light Pucić’s text on Mickiewicz, originally written in a non-Slavic language for an Italian audience, is not read simply as a Croatian version of the impact of Mickiewicz’s work among the Southern Slavs, but as an ambitious implementation of the Pan-Slavic idea.

Keywords: Medo Pucić, Adam Mickiewicz, biography, La Favilla, Croatian-Polish literary connections of the 19th century

After 1989 the number of translations of Bulgarian literature into Polish decreased dramatically in comparison with the output of the previous 50 years. On the one hand, this seems to be caused by a complete change of the Polish state’s cultural policy principles, too little activity on the part of relevant institutions, or even giving up the obligation to create and support the inter-cultural dialogue or to mediate in this process. On the other hand, it is primarily market economy and interest of the media and not the efforts or commitment of the translators that are decisive factors for the number and quality of publications.

Pinocchio in Emojitaliano. The Experimental Translation in the Culture of Visual and Performative Turn

The article discusses the experimental translation of the classic of children’s literature — Pinocchio (La storia di un burattino) by Carlo Collodi — from Italian into an artificially created language of the emoji signs. The translation was dicussed in the context of other translations of literature into emoji sings and experimental translation in general. This originally new-media translation illustrates the cultural transformations of modernity and can be understood as an expression of the iconic (visual) and performative turn in the humanities.


KEY WORDS: Pinocchio, Carlo Collodi, experimental translation, intersemiotic translation, iconic turn, performative turn

Stereotyp mężczyzny w przekładzie Opowieści o mężczyznach Miloša Crnjanskiego

Małgorzata Filipek

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Male gender stereotypes in the Polish translations of Miloš Crnjanski’s, Tales about men

Gender stereotypes present a conventionally simplified and standardized conception or image concerning the typical social roles of males and females. M. Crnjanski focuses on the problem of the various stereotypes of men. The writer shows his characters in areas that are stereotypically considered to be appropriate for men, such as professional work, politics, war, and sexual relations. The book contained stereotypes that the readers of the original version and the readers of the translations perceive differently, because Polish and Serbian readers have different historical and cultural experiences.

Key words: stereotypes, men, Crnjanski, translation.

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.

Podwojony dialog — przekładu i twórczości własnej — ujęcie komparatystyczne?

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.

Key words: literary translation, comparative study, Adam Wiedemann, Primož Čučnik, dialogism

O destereotypizacji odczytań tekstu oryginału w przekładzie. Rozważania o słoweńskim tłumaczeniu kulinariów w Panu Tadeuszu

Język: PL | Data publikacji: | Abstrakt

Source text’s destereotypization of interpretations in the process of translations — some theses about the culinary art of Adam Mickiewicz’s Sir Thaddeuss in Rozka Štefan Slovenian translations

Adam Mickiewicz’s Sir Thaddeus, or the Last Lithuanian Foray — Polish national epic poem, written in the Romantic period — is a masterpiece, considered to be untranslatable. It contains and codifies certain “patterns of Polishness”: stereotypical depictions of everything that are typically Polish, and indivisibly connected with the Polish (cultural, historical, literary, political) context and environment.

In the article it is asserted that a number of terms and depictions, which, in a certain culture are considered as stereotypical, in a translation change their status: they are neither schematic nor obvious anymore (they lose their stereotypy). The process of “destereotypization” takes place mainly because of the transfer into another language and into another cultural context, and because of the receiver’s (reader’s) different cultural education, who interprets the text from a completely different, new point of view.

Key words: „Polishness”, untranslatable, typical dishes (culinary), intercultural communication, interpretation, destereotypization, cultural context.

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.

Parateksty w przekładach Jozefa Hvišča

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.
