Gender-Translation-Gap: Die Kategorie Geschlecht als Faktor beim Transfer (post-)jugoslawischer Literatur ins Deutsche
Gender Translation Gap: The Category of Gender as a Factor in the Transfer of (Post)Yugoslavian Literature into German

Summary/Abstract: 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”.
