Tras las huellas de una traducción excepcional: Reportaje al pie de la horca de Julius Fučík en guaraní

Author(s): Lenka Zajícová / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

In 1983, the Guarani translation of Reportáž, psaná na oprátce [Report from the gallows] of Julius Fučík (1903–1943) was published in Prague. The Guaraní version was prepared in collaboration of a Paraguayan exile with the Czech publishing house Orbis. Apart from the unique historical circumstances, the translation is an interesting contribution to the process of the formation of the Guarani as a literary language and a target language of translations, because it is one of the first complete works translated into Guarani. The paper presents the historical, political and ideological circumstances of the creation of this virtually unknown translation.

The Reception of Karel Čapek’s short stories in Macedonian starts with Vera Janeva-Stojanovich, the author of the only PhD dissertation dedicated to the great Czech and world-wide writer which is named: “Karel Čapek and expressionism” (Skopje, 1973). Čapek’s work is also translated on Macedonian by: Dimitar Dimitrov, Dime Mitrevski and the most by Professor Donka Rous.

Hlasy národů v pohádkách Jana Vladislava (K některým Vladislavovým adaptacím cizojazyčných předloh)

Author(s): Ivan Nemec / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Ivan Němec deals with adaptations by Jan Vladislav. His life and work were adversely affected by the political ideology after the 1948 coup. The ban of publication he had to face several times was reflected to a large extent in his creative development and translation activities as well asin his interest in literature for children. From his own rhymed fairy tales related with hislong-term interest in folklore this excellent translator gradually moved to original adaptations of fairy tales of various nations.

Имена собственные в поэтических переводах Виктора Ворошильского

Author(s): Anna Bednarczyk / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

The aim of this research is to expose Wiktor Voroshilsky’s translation strategy, especially the translation methods and techniques he uses as the author of the Polish versions of Russian poems. Theorists of translation quite often pay attention to the problem of translation of proper names, exploring different contexts related to this issue. Bazyli Tichoniuk wrote about the translation of names within Polish and Russian at the time, while for other languages we can mention works by Ewa Teodorowicz-Hellman, Anna Szcześniak, Elżbieta Skibińska, Anna Majkiewicz, and Krzysztof Hejwowski. This article attempts to indicate a specific translator’s approach to translating proper names. The material under study consists of 25 poems selected from 211 works translated by Voroshilsky. The main selection criterion was the saturation of the poem with elements of interest to the authors, as well as their diversity. This determined the research method, which focused on analysing the repeatability and variety of translation techniques. Finally, we concluded that Voroshilsky employed different methods of translation, often guided by the function performed by the proper names in the text. We also paid attention to his objective to bring the text closer to the target audience and on the creativity of the translator.

Orły – nie sępy; zwłoki – nie padlina. Uwagi na marginesie wersetów Mt 24,28 i Łk 17,37

Author(s): Jacek Salij / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The author of the text devotes attention to the trap of etymological analogy, which is important from the point of view of translation, and affects the way the Gospel is interpreted. He focuses on the key Greek word το πτωμα (to ptõma) for the verse of Mt 24.28 and the word that is important for the verse Łk 17.37 το σωμα (to sõma). These words in Polish translations of the Gospels in the twentieth century began to be translated as “carrion”. According to the author, it was a wrong decision. Contrary to the words used in the source text, in Polish the word “carrion” is associated with emotionally negative feelings, while in the New Testament these words refer to the body of a dead person, often the Savior himself. The article also recalled Origen’s remarks in order not to overlook the detail that our logion talks about eagles, not vultures. According to the author, the false translation decision results in an almost profound closure to the rich tradition that the Fathers of the Church left in commenting on both verses.

Převod koloritních prvků z bulharštiny do češtiny

Author(s): Mariya Rakova / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The translation of local-colour elements is one of the most often-discussed problems in the translation of artistic literature. Although it is generally considered that these elements are usually weakened in the translation, they should not be overlooked. As a main working hypothesis, we accept that the culture-specific elements of the translation are mostly lost. To examine this problem, we will use the translatological analysis of selected short stories and novels from the collection of the Bulgarian author Yordan Radichkov—Six Small Matryoshkas and a Big One and Memories of Horses. The main aim of our translatological analysis is to find out how the local colour of Bulgarian works was weakened, deformed or preserved and the possible emotional effect on the Czech readers. The focus of our interest is not only the translation transformations but also the reception of literary works in different language environments.
