„Nie mogliśmy być oknem”: o wyłanianiu się „Literatury na Świecie” na podstawie zbiorów archiwalnych ZLP i Pen Clubu (1950–1971)
“We Could Not Be a Window”: On the Emergence of “Literatura na Świecie” Based on the Archival Collections of the Polish Writers’ Union and the PEN Club (1950–1971)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the extensive archival material depicting the efforts of the translators’ community to establish a journal devoted to literary translation and, in the longer term, the process of creating “Literatura na Świecie”. The main sources for the analysis are stenographic records from the meetings of the Translation Section of the Polish Writers’ Union and previously unpublished minutes from the meetings of the Translators’ Section of the Polish PEN Club. By juxtaposing these sources, I want to capture the continuity between the initiative to establish “Literatura na Świecie” and the discussions of literary translators in the 1950s urging to create a professional forum for discussing literary translation.
