On Beş Köpek, Turkish Translation and Analysis of André Alexis's Modern Fable Fifteen DogsKeskin Saldi, Rana January 2017 (has links)
ABSTRACT The modern fable differs from the classic fable in terms of style, form, and content. Translating the modern fable likewise diverges from translating the classic fable in terms of the concerns that a translator might have along the way. This thesis serves as a case study on the practice of translating the modern fable by using On Beş Köpek, my Turkish translation of André Alexis's Giller Prize-winning 2015 modern fable, Fifteen Dogs, as a paradigm. This thesis is built upon six chapters, the first and the last of which are designed to be introductory and conclusive respectively. In the second chapter, the apologue/fable is defined and a historical review is provided from Aesop's fables to the modern fable. The third chapter provides an analysis of the source text, i.e. Fifteen Dogs, by mainly discussing the “fabulous” characteristics it displays. The fourth chapter is my complete Turkish translation, i.e. On Beş Köpek, whereas the fifth chapter presents an analysis of my Turkish translation within the framework of Gideon Toury's descriptive methodology.
RÉSUMÉ
La fable moderne diffère de la fable classique en matière de style, de forme et de contenu. La traduction de la fable moderne se distingue donc également de la traduction de la fable classique quant aux préoccupations du traducteur au moment de traduire celle-ci. Cette thèse sert d’étude de cas relative à la pratique de la traduction de la fable moderne en proposant On Beş Köpek, ma traduction en turc de Fifteen Dogs (la fable moderne et récipiendaire du prix Giller qu’André Alexis a écrite en 2015) comme exemple de paradigme. Cette thèse compte six chapitres, dont le premier et le dernier agissent respectivement comme introduction et conclusion. Dans le second chapitre, l'apologue/la fable est définie, et un survol historique d'Ésope à la fable moderne est ensuite offert. Le troisième chapitre fournit une analyse du texte source – Fifteen Dogs – traitant principalement des caractéristiques «fabuleuses» qu'il contient. Le quatrième chapitre renferme ma traduction complète en turc – On Beş Köpek – tandis que le cinquième chapitre présente une analyse de ma traduction suivant le cadre de méthodologie descriptive proposé par Gideon Toury.

Translating Culture - An analysis of the cultural transfer in literary translationPålsson, Linda January 2018 (has links)
The loss in translation between languages has long been debated, and a current issue within Translation Studies is that of the cultural aspect. Using two opposing concepts by Lawrence Venuti; domestication that is used to assimilate the source culture into the target culture, and foreignization that is used to preserve and highlight the foreign culture in the target text, this paper examines how culture is transferred in literary translation between English and Swedish. In order to establish which strategies are used, data consisting of 30 passages from the American novel Dead Until Dark (2001), and the corresponding passages in two different Swedish translations of it, is analysed linguistically. While the first translation is found to show no marked preference for either strategy, the second translation uses domestication thrice as often as foreignization. However, both translations use domestication in 9 out of 10 examples in the category ‘Figurative use of language’, which suggests a marked difficulty in preserving the source culture while translating metaphorical language. The analysis also shows a difference in the way the strategies are employed, suggesting a further division of the strategies into ‘passive’ and ‘active’. The author calls for further research on the effect of such a division.

Translating Japanese Onomatopoeia into Finnish in Literature: A Case StudyVanninen, Kosti January 2020 (has links)
Japanese is a language rich in onomatopoeic and mimetic words, words that mimic sounds and other phenomena with their form. They are an integral part of the language and are used in nearly all situations, they also pose their own peculiar challenge to both learners and translators of Japanese. This study examines the Japanese onomatopoeic and mimetic words in the novel Sensei no kaban by Hiromi Kawakami, and their translations in its Finnish translation, to determine what techniques are most commonly used and why? As Finnish is also said to have a rich onomatopoeic and mimetic vocabulary, the frequency at which these terms are translated into equivalent onomatopoeic or mimetic words is also examined. The results show that the majority of the Japanese onomatopoeic and mimetic words, most of which function as adverbs, are translated as adverbs or verbs or they are completely omitted. Exactly a quarter of the examined cases have been translated using onomatopoeic or mimetic words, most of which are verbs.

Translatologická analýza českého překladu I Munjolova díla Básník / Translatological analysis of the Czech translation of Yi Munyeol's work PoetKim, Marie January 2019 (has links)
In the beginning, the specific problems of the literary translation will be introduced on a theoretical level. Based on the theory, the detailed translatological analysis of chosen Czech translation of Yi Mun Yeol's novel The Poet will follow. The translation will be compared to the original from various points of view. The biggest focus will be on various translation methods and strategies used for the transfer of the lexical and grammatical expressions, the information structure organization of the target text, cases of amplification, reduction, etc. The attention will be also focused on non-linguistic aspects of translation, such as transferability of cultural and historical facts to a distinct environment.

Tout un cirque pour si peu : micronouvelles en traductionLessard, Véronique 25 July 2018 (has links)
La présente étude invite le lecteur à s’éloigner des longs fleuves d’encre pour plonger dans le monde du bref, du furtif et de l’allusif, et à explorer le genre qu’est la micronouvelle. Cette étude sert de prétexte, paratexte et péritexte à la traduction, de l’espagnol au français, du recueil de micronouvelles Fenómenos de circo (2011) de l’écrivaine argentine Ana María Shua.
La micronouvelle jouit d’une diffusion différentielle dans le monde : particulièrement intense dans l’espace hispanophone, beaucoup plus timide dans l’espace francophone. À la traduction du recueil de micronouvelles le plus récent à ce jour d’une auteure connue et réputée en microfiction, j’ajoute la production d’une sorte d’état des lieux thématique des réflexions théoriques actuelles sur ce genre littéraire, sa définition, sa dénomination et une partie de son histoire. J’étudie ensuite huit caractéristiques qui ressortent des œuvres de microfiction en général et de celles d’Ana María Shua en particulier : fractalité, brièveté, métafiction, hybridité, intertextualité, effet de chute, présence du fantastique et rôle actif du lecteur.
La traduction de la microfiction ne semble pas fondamentalement différente de la traduction de toute autre œuvre littéraire dans la même combinaison de langues. Elle reçoit néanmoins l’influence du rayonnement différentiel de la micronouvelle dans les espaces hispanophone et francophone ainsi que des caractéristiques propres au genre microfictionnel.

La traduction et le Québec anglophone (2000-2020)Roman, Karolina 31 August 2022 (has links)
Abstract: This thesis takes the literary periodical the Montreal Review of Books (mRb) as a starting point to study the trends characterizing literary translation in Anglo-Québécois literature. Starting from a corpus comprising paratextual information on literary translations reviewed in the mRb and literary reviews from the periodical between 2000 and 2020, the author offers preliminary diachronic analyses of trends in source languages and publishers of literary translations, an overview of the most important figures of translation in Anglo-Québec, as well as the evolution of translation reception in the Anglo-Québécois literary system. The thesis is methodologically characterized by its use of digital humanistic approaches, both in terms of data gathering (web scraping, Python) and analysis (distant reading with the help of AntConc, network analysis assisted by Gephi, basic statistical analyses with Excel). -- Résumé: Ce mémoire prend comme point de départ le périodique littéraire la Montreal Review of Books (mRb) afin d'analyser les tendances qui caractérisent la traduction littéraire dans le système littéraire anglo-québécois. L'analyse part d'une base de données comprenant les informations paratextuelles des traductions littéraires recensées dans la mRb et les comptes rendus littéraires entre 2000 et 2020. À partir de ces données, l'autrice effectue une analyse diachronique préliminaire des langues de départ et des maisons d'édition des traductions littéraires, ainsi qu'un aperçu des grandes figures de la traduction en Anglo-Québec et de l'évolution de la réception de la traduction dans ce système. Le mémoire se démarque sur le plan méthodologique par l'utilisation des approches en humanités numériques pour la collecte (le moissonnage, Python) et l'analyse de données (la lecture à distance assistée par AntConc, l'analyse de réseau avec Gephi et les analyses quantitatives de base à l'aide d'Excel).

A Project for a Translation into Guarani Based on an Analytical Interpretation of a Medieval ApologueAmato, Nathalie 01 January 2019 (has links)
El propósito de este proyecto de tesis es presentar una traducción analítica al idioma guaraní de un apólogo escrito en español medieval con el objetivo de demostrar la utilidad de los ejercicios de traducción literaria que faciliten el aprendizaje de idiomas. La transferencia lingüística y cultural de un texto medieval al español moderno y consecutivamente al guaraní constituye un ejemplo del esfuerzo cognitivo que debe realizar un traductor/una traductora para buscar soluciones e ir articulando poco a poco el rompecabezas que posteriormente se convertirá en la nueva versión de la obra, pero siempre respetando y conservando la esencia del mensaje original del autor/de la autora.

A Case Study of Battle Royale : A Showdown of TranslationsBrännström, Emma January 2024 (has links)
According to Paul Bensimon, the retranslation hypothesis advocates for a pattern between the first and second translation of a literary work. The hypothesis runs that the second translation (also called “retranslation”) tends to be closer to the original text and more foreignized, while the first translation is farther away from the original and more domesticated to better fit with the norms of the target audience. This paper intends to test this view of the retranslation hypothesis on the two English translations of the Japanese novel バトル・ロワイアル (“Battle Royale”). The study compared proper names and cultural terms from both translations in semantic similarity and from the perspective of the domestication/foreignization theory. The results show that the retranslation has more foreignizing tendencies concerning the translations and the translation strategies of cultural terms, and a closer semantic similarity to the original work regarding proper names. On the other hand, the first translation has a more frequent tendency of using foreignizing translation strategies for proper names. Thus, the results show a partial agreement with the retranslation hypothesis.

Una poeta : perspectives on the translation of Janet Frame's Verse into ItalianCozzone, Iolanda January 2014 (has links)
Janet Frame (1924-2004) is known for being one of the most prolific, translated, and unconventional New Zealand novelists. Her work, however, includes a vast production of poems, which scholars and translators have ignored or, at least, not considered worthy for a comprehensive approach to her. Frame's work has undergone the further limitation of a strongly biography-based hermeneutics: from the gossiping around her alleged schizophrenia, to the popularity of the filmic version of her autobiography (An Angel at My Table) by Jane Campion, and the countless legends that have sprung around her, she has often been stigmatised and labelled the 'mad writer' of Campion's movie. This thesis links the risks of the life/myth-driven perspectives to the current lack of interest in Frame's poetry. Her poetic production is here presented as a fundamental part of her oeuvre and her idiosyncratic approach to writing. Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap in the literature on Frame and thus reconfigure her role as a poet. Through a combination of methodologies grounded in literary and verse translation theories, creativity and genre studies, poststructuralism and postcolonialism, this thesis investigates the most significant traits of Frame's prose and poetry, particularly the traits shared by both. It critiques past translations of Frame's prose into Italian where these have not taken into account the poetic value of her work, and suggests strategies for the translation of her verse into Italian, arguing that an informed approach to her poetry in translation may greatly contribute to a reconfiguration and re-evaluation of her legacy.
