Culture(s) and Authenticity
The Politics of Translation and the Poetics of Imitation
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018
819 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book addresses epistemological and political aspects of the discursive pursuit of authenticity and various ways in which the inauthentic is devalued and marginalized. The essays critically analyze various means by which the authentic is searched for, staged, admired, dismissed, replicated or simply taken for granted. What is at work in such discursive practices is a poetics of imitation. This is seen as a paradoxical kind of poetics which renounces the authenticity of the created text for the sake of its semi-religious offering to the origin. Such a divination of the Authentic posits translation as an idolatrous act accompanied by a suspicion of its simultaneously being iconoclastic.

This book offers an interdisciplinary rethinking of the role of translation in the perception and reception of cultural texts. It also discusses human everyday discursive practices at the time of fluctuation of meanings and the decline of the authentic. The authors focus critically on the phenomenon of imitative replacement by all sorts of simulacra. The essays are addressed to literary and translation scholars as well as to all those interested in finding keys to understating the complex relationship between languages and cultures.

Protest and Dissent
Conflicting Spaces in Translation and Culture
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Essays collected in this book discuss textual and discursive formulations of dominance and resistance. The authors analyze how they are narrated and re-narrated, framed and reframed in different social, political and language communities and realities, through different media and means, and translated into different contexts and languages. As the ways we name, rename, or label events, people and places have implications in the real world, the essays are also meant to investigate the ways in which we partake in negotiating its construction, its changing meanings and senses through the stories we tell and the practices we live by.

Translating a Worldview
Linguistic Worldview in Literary Translation
Inbunden, Engelska, 2021
635 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The book offers a view of the translation of a literary text as a reconstruction of the non-standard linguistic worldview embedded in that text, and emerging from the standard, conventional worldview present in a given language and culture. This translation strategy (and the ensuing detailed decisions) is explained via the metaphor of two icebergs, representing the source and target texts as iceberg tips, resting on the vast foundations of the source and target languages and cultures. This thesis is illustrated by analyses of English translations of two poems by Wisława Szymborska, the 1996 Nobel Prize winner: „Rozmowa z kamieniem“ (Conversation with a Stone/Rock) and „Chmury“ (Clouds).

Staging America, Staging the Self
Figurations of Loss in John Berryman's Dream Songs
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
511 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This study focuses on theatricality and melancholia in John Berryman's The Dream Songs, and proposes to view them as inherent in the American cultural experience. It discusses Berryman's work in the context of a larger debate on the significance of loss in the process of subject formation and its relation to language, with a commentary on the presences and absences found in the Polish translations of the poem. Revealing the mechanisms of staging the Self after loss, the Songs provide insight into the theatrical and dialogue-driven, context-dependent, intertextual and continuously rewritten character of the American subject.

Normativity and Resilience in Translation and Culture
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024
592 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book addresses the dynamics of normativity and resilience through the lens of translation. Engaging with both domestic and foreign cultural, social, economic, and ethical frameworks, the act of translation emerges as a dual force: it uncovers subtle and implicit pressures that encourage adherence to the dominant norm and has the capacity to question, disrupt or even subvert this norm. The concept of resilience, considered in its multifaceted roles as an aspect of the norm, as a means to withstand normative pressures, and as a normative demand in itself, further complicates the relationship between individual agency, systemic constraints, and collective expectations. Essays in this book explore how translation not only reflects but also contests the dynamics of power and identity within the fabric of societal and cultural norms.
