The article analyses three poems of a well known Mauritian poet, Umar Timol, from the perspective of translation studies.

The major problem is the choice of translation strategy in case of loanwords adopted from English, Creole or Hindi languages which coexist with French in Mauritius. Seeking translation dominant in the poetry proves to be equally important. The particular attention is given to the prosody and melody of the text.

Agent 007 i M w ocenach wzajemnych – polski i rosyjski przekład wybranych fragmentów filmów1

Author(s): Piotr Mamet,Anna Miś,Gabriela Wilk / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article presents the results of the analysis of the language of M and James Bond in terms of their mutual assessment and criticism. The study has been limited to eight films – the ones in which Judi Dench plays the role of M, as a woman manager. The analysis covers the comparison of the original English source with its Polish (voice over and subtitles) and Russian (dubbing) translation, with the aim of investigating how the translators have dealt with the specificity of the language of the main characters. As for general conclusions, the wisecrackery of the utterances of 007 and M requires a lot of translation skills and creativity on the translator’s part. Even though most of the choices the translators made seem legitimate, considering the limitations inflicted by the conventions and types of translation, some may raise doubts and pose the question if a different linguistic choice would express a given original concept better. Apart from reasonable conciseness, all three types of translations show a tendency to limit the use of swearwords or to exchange them with weaker expletives. Also, many originally tentative statements have acquired a more straightforward and direct character in their Polish and Russian translations.

Author(s): Paweł Łapiński / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article is aiming at analysing the Sample Translations ©POLAND programme, within which the Polish Book Institute is giving literary translators financing for 20 pages of a translation to be furtherly presented to foreign publishers. The analysis is based on the example of the French book market and focused on two main aspects. The first analysed aspect is the effectiveness of the programme with regard to its key assumption (the promotion of Polish literature abroad), which can be assessed from two perspectives: the circulation of titles among the readers and among the publishers. The second analysed aspect is the actual and potential impact of the programme on the position of translator on the market, as well as on his / her global and particular choices in translating. The undoubted advantages related to public financing of translator’s professional activity are juxtaposed with debatable influence the programme may have on the translator by binding him / her to the source culture and requiring from him / her persuasion skills characteristic for literary agent.

Интертекстуалността като интерперсоналност

Author(s): Cleo Protokhristova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The paper discusses Umberto Eco’s idea to create the blind librarian Jorge of Burgos, a principal character in his novel “The Name of the Rose”, as a nod to the Jorge Luis Borges, who exercised major influence on the novel and the works of Eco in general. This artistic decision, qualified by the critique as an act of lèse-majesté, has provoked multiple commentaries. Here the case is examined in the light of the tension between the conscious indebtedness and the “anxiety of influence“ simultaneously experienced by Eco. The case is additionally contextualized in the framework defined by the Bulgarian reception of the two authors.

Отново за сказа като литературнотеоретичен проблем

Author(s): Darin Tenev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The problem of skaz poses a challenge before literary theory, especially in that it requires a rethinking of the way in which a literary work can combine literary and non-literary elements. The present paper offers a reflection on the form skaz from the perspective of the literary theory of models. The main argument concerns the way in which the modelling of the literary field operated by this form (that is, modelling of what can be said in a literary work of art and in what manner) is simultaneously modelling of the reality outside the text. In skaz the questions of style are in an immediate way social and political questions. The literary theory of models sheds new light on the way in which, as Zaprian Kozludzhov has claimed, skaz is an intersection point between esthetics and ethics.

"Двойник" на Ф. М. Достоевски sub specie квантовата литературна херменевтика

Author(s): Nikolay Neychev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The paper attempts to create a new model of literary hermeneutics based on the basic principles of quantum mechanics: Heisenberg's un-certainty principle, principle of superposition, collapse of the wave function, principle of complementarity. Through the so-called „quantum hermeneutics“, the possibility of adequately explaining the mysterious nature of artistic reality is explored, as described in „The Double“ of Dostoevsky. In this work, the Russian writer discovers the „formula“, that he will later apply in his last great novels.

Времето, Бекет и философите

Author(s): Antoaneta Doncheva,Georgi Kapriev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The text examines the possible effects of relevant time theories in the texts of Samuel Beckett. The focus is mostly on philosophers read or mentioned by Beckett: Augustine, Descartes, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Bergson, Heidegger. Time is interpreted as external condition and as an internal characteristic, as well as their convergence. The article discusses time structure in Beckett's texts as a concentrate of his existential experience in a debate with imposed time theories. He does not fully solidify with any of them and builds his own systematically understanding of the temporal or chronotope in his art.
