The increasing demand for popular literary works has given impetus to the issue of quality and acceptability in translation. In specific cases where the novels to be translated include different wordplays, codes, and symbols, the problem of quality and acceptability has become more challenging for translators due to the significant impact of these language-specific components on the plot and the technical linguistic limitations. This book aims to show different methods for overcoming this challenge in translation by elaborating on the theoretical aspects of “creativity” in translation and by analyzing the dimensions of this creativity through the examples selected from Dan Brown’s best...
Language as a complex and dynamic phenomenon is an important instrument for reflecting individual and social identity. The formation of languages under the influence of specific norms and rules, which depend on historical and cultural developments, goes beyond their mere use as a means of communication. Languages are used to formulate thoughts, express emotions, demonstrate behaviour and produce artistic texts as skills and actions. Languages are also used to exert pressure, direct thoughts and influence people. Especially since the 1970s, under the influence of women's rights and feminist approaches in the West, language has played a prominent role in the reflection on gender and identity i...
A collection of poetry from Middle Eastern countries.
The Ottoman Empire covered a vast territory for more than five centuries and was therefore a multi-ethnic and multicultural state from the very beginning. Due to the need to negotiate military, political and economic matters both within and outside its borders, the state relied on the services of interpreters. However, despite the multicultural and linguistically diverse communication in the Ottoman Empire, the practice of translation was not formally institutionalised by the state. Until the modernisation efforts of the 18th century, translation was mainly seen as a facilitating or ancillary activity in the diplomatic context. The primary aim of this collection is to comprehensively analyse...
Interdisciplinarity is significant in the age of globalization and digitalization. It creates new opportunities through comparison and analysis of different findings and methods. Furthermore, it expands the boundaries of each discipline: each topic or phenomenon can be viewed under a whole new light. Instead of conventional or traditional methods, interdisciplinary cooperation can lead to innovative approaches that can contribute to the value of each discipline involved. It also requires respect and recognition between disciplines: their independent positions could be questioned or justified based on their interrelationship. Moreover, interdisciplinary work brings together diverse experts wh...
Das literarische Übersetzen öffnet Pforten in andere Welten, macht Fremdliteratur in der eigenen Sprache zugänglich und reflektiert, was die fremde bzw. andere Literatur ausmacht. Bekanntlich erfordert das literarische Übersetzen mehr als ausgezeichnete Sprach- und Übersetzungskompetenzen. Darüber hinaus sollten Übersetzer:innen über poetische und literarische Kompetenzen verfügen, wobei auch ein großes Maß an Kreativität erforderlich ist. Je nachdem wie der Begriff "Literaturübersetzung" ausgelegt wird — als Reproduktion, als Nachahmung, als eine unendliche Annäherung an das Original oder Ähnliches —, finden unterschiedliche spezifische Aspekte des literarischen Übersetz...
Die lange Geschichte der Übersetzung in der Türkei ist teilweise nur bruchstückhaft bekannt. Viele offene und interessante Fragestellungen ziehen deshalb das Augenmerk derlinebreak WissenschaftlerInnen auf sich. Neuere Forschungen und Arbeiten zur Übersetzungsgeschichte decken dabei wichtige ideologische, soziale und kulturelle Bedingungen im historischen Kontext auf. Unterschiedliche Zugänge zur Übersetzungsgeschichte erlauben neue Einsichten. Unbestritten bleibt die Tatsache, dass Übersetzungsleistungen für die Entwicklung der Kultur, Wissenschaft und Literatur stets eine entscheidende Rolle gespielt haben und spielen werden, da Begegnungen zwischen Menschen, Sprachen und Kulturen ...
The articles in this volume examine historical, cultural, literary and political facets of translation in Turkey, a society in tortuous transformation since the 19th century from empire to nation-state. Some draw attention to tradition in Ottoman practices and agents of translation and interpreting, while others explore the republican period, starting in 1923, with the revolutionary change in script from Arabic to Roman coming in 1928, making a powerful impact on publication and translation practices. Areas covered include the German Jewish academic involvement in translation, traditional and current practices of translating from Kurdish into Turkish, censorship of translated literature, intralingual translations from Ottoman into modern Turkish, pseudotranslation, ideological manipulation and resistance in translation, imitativeness vs. originality and metonymics of literary reviewing.
Çeviri alanında kuram-eğitim-pratik ilişkisini bir arada, kuramsal bir çerçevede inceleyen bir çalışmanın yapılması oldukça önemlidir. Bu anlamda bu çalışmanın çeviribilim açısından önemli bir sorunu tartıştığını söyleyebiliriz. Kuram-pratik ilişkisinin işlendiği çalışmalara sıkça rastlanmakla birlikte, çeviri kuramının çeviri eğitimine yansıması ve bunun sonucunda pratiğe etkisine dair çalışmalara rastlamak zordur. Böyle bir çalışmanın kuramsal dayanaklarının oluşması ve bu kuramsal dayanakların çeviri alanını yansıtması gerekliydi. Kuram-eğitim-uygulama üçlüsünün çeviri alanını oluşturduğuna dair bir iddianın kuram...
