Tereza Jůzová's thesis Georg Trakl's Poetry in Czech Translations tries to discover which specific expression this Austrian poet takes in three Czech versions created by Bohuslav Reynek (1917, 1924), Ludvík Kundera (1965) and Radek Malý (2005) - three translators belonging to three different generations. The first chapter is devoted to Trakl and his work, ranked in the social and literary context. The second chapter presents the translators and their achievements, summarizes the period reception, and gives a brief overview of the poet's influence on original Czech literature. The focus of the thesis is the third chapter - translation analysis of six selected poems transposed to Czech. It is theoretically based on the translation shifts theory of Anton Popovič and on the method of translation analysis developed by Jiří Levý. It turns out that each of the original translators handled the original in their own way and accentuated different aspects of Trakl's work. Reynek colours the words by kind and gentle expression and his translation is the most peculiar. Kundera and Malý approached Trakl's plain style, Kundera, however, does not hesitate to underline some poetic passages. Malý intentionally reproduces the frequent ambiguity of the poet's formulations, which his predecessors insufficiently took...

Why did so many poets attempt English verse in Ancient Greek and Latin metres during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? And what was at stake in these attempts? The most immediate importance of these questions to literary criticism is the fact that they mark one of the most striking and consistent points of contiguity between the verse-forms — and poetic theories — of poets commonly categorised as ‘Modernists’ and ‘Victorians’. This study uncovers a lineage of experimentation with classical metres connecting Algernon Charles Swinburne to Ezra Pound and H. D., in the process challenging received periodizations of English verse-history. The assumption that vers libre and metrical verse constitute alternate and incompatible paradigms prevents us from being able to perceive, in either of them, the endless performative possibilities that rhythm offers us — possibilities which, as I intend to demonstrate, underpin some of the period’s most influential experiments in verse-form. My close studies of these poetic forms raise another question: what is the ontological status of these poetic forms that pass through multiple languages and millennia? I frame my readings of English poetry in classical measures through the metaphor of the ghost because English poetry can only encounter classical metres as a kind of spectral or incomplete presence. I refer to this encounter, borrowing a term from Jacques Derrida, as ‘hauntology’: a situation of temporal, historical, and ontological disjunction that occurs when a being or entity, apparently present, is revealed to be an absent or continually-deferred (non-)origin. The hauntological character of English poems in classical measures is due not only to fundamental differences between the syntaxes and phonologies of Ancient Greek, Latin, and English, but also to the loss of knowledge concerning the traditions and conventions of metrical performance in Ancient Greek and Latin. This is why writing English poetry in classical metres generally poses a far greater challenge — both technically and conceptually — than writing English poetry in the metres of a living language: recreating classical metres in English requires reimagining the very nature of the encounter between poems and bodies, while also facing up to the quasi-magical charge that ‘the classical’ holds in the English literary imagination.

Pound traduziu criativamente Propércio e Mário Faustino traduziu parcialmente Pound, daí a possibilidade de relacioná-los; a tradução de Pound, central para este trabalho, é constituída por uma coletânea de doze poemas (e um extra) intitulada Homage to Sextus Propertius, dos quais apenas cinco foram traduzidos por Faustino. Pound mudou o modo de ler literatura latina em língua inglesa, propondo uma tradução que procurava ao mesmo tempo homenagear e renovar Propércio. Sua abordagem crítica e tradutória ressoou no Brasil através de poetas como Faustino e os irmãos Campos; além de levar em consideração seu paideuma, o ensinamento mais marcante de Pound retomado por Faustino é o da responsabilidade do poeta e de sua função na sociedade. A partir de uma apresentação da poesia de Propércio, analisamos comparativamente as traduções de Pound e Faustino, a fim de inferir quais foram as diferenças, perdas e os ganhos de cada uma, levando em conta o projeto tradutório e a época em que estavam inseridas. Por fim apresentamos uma proposta de tradução integral de Homage to Sextus Propertius, procurando aplicar na prática a discussão teórica sobre tradução que foi desenvolvida durante o trabalho. / Three different poets are aproched in this research, are they: Sextus Propertius, Ezra Pound and Mário Faustino, poets from different times and languages. Pound creativily translated Propertius and Mário Faustino partialy translated Pound, thence the possibility of connecting them; Pound’s translation, central in this work, consists in a colection of twelve poems (and an extra) entitled Homage to Sextus Propertius, from which only five were translated by Faustino. Pound changed the way of how to read latin literature in english language, proposing a translation that seeked to pay tribute and to renew Propertius at the same time. His critic and translating approach echoed in Brazil through poets like Faustino and the Campos brothers; besides taking into account the paideuma, the most outstanding guideline Faustino learned from Pound is that of the poet responsability and his function in society. Starting from a presentantion of Propertius’ poetry, we proceed to comparatively analyse the translations made by Pound and Faustino, in order to infer the differences, gains and losts of both, considering the project of translation and the age of each. Lastly we present a complete translation suggestion of Homage to Sextus Propertius in portuguese, seeking to apply in practice the teorical discussion about translation that was developed through this work.

Centrado no campo dos Estudos da Tradução em confluência com o campo da Educação, este trabalho visou investigar, diretamente com as crianças leitoras, a recepção de poemas infantis traduzidos para o inglês, e contrastá-la à recepção dos respectivos poemas fonte, escritos em português, valendo-se, para a geração de dados, da prática de letramento Pensar Alto em Grupo (ZANOTTO, 2014). Os poemas fonte, \"As meninas\" e \"O menino azul\", pertencem à coleção de poemas Ou isto ou aquilo (1964), de Cecília Meireles. As versões para o inglês foram elaboradas pela pesquisadora, e pela poeta e tradutora britânica Sarah Rebecca Kersley, aplicando critérios que privilegiam a correspondência de atributos poéticos entre poema fonte e traduzido (BRITTO, 2002; 2005; 2010). O contraste entre as recepções fez-se com base nas interpretações infantis: cada poema fonte foi \'pensado-alto\' por dois grupos de crianças brasileiras e cada poema traduzido por dois grupos de crianças estrangeiras. Do lado brasileiro, crianças de 9 a 11 anos, matriculadas na EMEF Vera Lúcia Fusco Borba (São Paulo); do lado estrangeiro, crianças da mesma idade, matriculadas no correspondente Y5 das escolas inglesas Thriplow Primary School (Cambridge) e King David Primary School (Birmingham). No que concerne à Educação, este estudo contribuiu para confirmar a aplicabilidade do PAG como instrumento para promover a leitura de poesia no Ensino Fundamental I. No que concerne aos Estudos da Tradução, este estudo permitiu afiançar o PAG como ferramenta de apoio a tradutores e a estudiosos da tradução, em especial aos de literatura infantil e/ou aqueles voltados à recepção. Ao comparar as interpretações, foi possível apontar convergências de leituras entre os diferentes grupos, sugerindo que o horizonte de expectativas das crianças, no que concerne os valores afetivos na esfera doméstico-familiar é muito semelhante dentro de uma mesma cultura e também entre diferentes culturas. Foi possível também apontar divergências entre as interpretações, e distingui-las em pelo menos dois tipos: 1) aquelas motivadas pela ancoragem linguístico-cultural, a saber, os diferentes ambientes histórico-geográficos, em conjunto com a história de vida dos participantes, seu conhecimento de mundo, além do \"horizonte de expectativas\" dos leitores em face de uma nova obra (JAUSS, 1994 [1967]); e 2) aquelas provocadas por interferências na tradução e que, mesmo quando aparentemente inofensivas, podem provocar o popular \"efeito borboleta\" (ASLANOV, 2015) descrito na Teoria do Caos. Assim, no plano específico, a par dos dados gerados pelo PAG, o tradutor pode fazer escolhas mais conscientes e éticas. E num plano mais amplo, o estudioso pode se deparar com resultados que comprovem teorias já existentes ou apontem para novas hipóteses, novos caminhos. / This thesis, which encompasses both Translation Studies and Education Studies, examines how English-speaking young readers receive Brazilian childrens poems translated into English and compares their reactions to those of young Brazilian readers receiving the source poem in the childrens source language. This study uses data from the dialogical literacy practice known as Think Aloud in Group (ZANOTTO, 2014). The source poems, As meninas [Girls at the window] and O menino azul [The blue boy] are part of the collection Ou isto ou aquilo (1964) by Cecília Meireles. The English translation was rendered by the author together with British translator and poet Sarah Rebecca Kersley and subscribed to the criteria of correspondence of poetic attributes between the source poem and the translation (BRITTO, 2002; 2005; 2010). Comparison of how the poems were received was based on the childrens interpretations: each source poem was thought aloud with two groups of Brazilian children, and each translated poem was thought aloud with two groups of English-speaking children. In Brazil, the groups consisted of children ages 9 to 11 enrolled in the 4th grade at Vera Lúcia Fusco Borba Municipal State-Funded School (São Paulo); in England, the children were the same age and enrolled in the equivalent Y5 at Thriplow Primary School (Cambridge) and King David Primary School (Birmingham). In terms of education as a field of study, this research confirms the applicability of Think Aloud in Group as an instrument to encourage children in primary school to read poetry. In terms of Translation Studies, this work demonstrates the efficacy of Think Aloud in Group as a support tool for translators and scholars of translation, particularly for specialists studying childrens literature and/or how translated childrens literature is received by non-native speakers. A comparison of the childrens interpretations evidences convergences among the groups, suggesting that childrens horizons of expectations, in terms of home and family values, is very similar within the same culture as well as between different cultures. And two types of divergences in the interpretations are also apparent: 1) differences owing to linguistic and cultural references: the readers historical and geographic setting, individual life story, understanding of the world and \"horizon of expectations\" when exposed to a new poem (JAUSS, 1994 [1967]); and 2) differences caused by interferences in the translation that, even when seemingly innocuous, may lead to the popular butterfly effect\" expressed in chaos theory (ASLANOV, 2015). Thus, specifically speaking, using data from Think Aloud in Group practices allows translators to be more cognizant and ethical in their translating choices; and broadly speaking, these practices provide a rich data set that can be used both to test current theories and to generate new hypotheses.

The aim of this thesis is to analyse methods used in translation of the Arabic poetry written in a quantitative metre based on the syllable length to Czech, regarding its form and preserving, substitution or elimination of the classical Arabis metre, and to try to propose a new, alternative method of translation that would corresponded with demands of the Czech prosody but also would preserve - at least partially - some typical elements of the Arabic poetry. In the first part of this thesis the basic character of the Arabic prosody is explained and the two basic formal components of the Arabic metric poetry are introduced: the quantitative metre and the continuous rhyme scheme. Then, a comparison of the Arabic verse to several European systems is provided. In the second part, the existing Czech translations of the Arabic poetry are summarized, especially regarding the metric poetry, and the attention is also paid to the way in which the translators deal with the formal components of the translated verses. The crucial parts of this thesis are the third part and the forth part. The third part includes the overview of the possible ways to translate the Arabic metric poetry with regard to the metre and the rhyme scheme. It presents four individual ways: complete preservation of the metre, its complete...

The thesis focuses on the rendering of the poetics of Anna Akhmatova and Marina Tsvetaeva in Czech translations. The first part deals with the phenomenon of poetesses in the Russian literature and subsequently with Akhmatova's and Tsvetaeva's life, works, style and reception. The second part is focused on contrastive translatological analysis of different approaches to their poetry and detailed analysis of existing Czech translations of Akhmatova's poem Rekviem and Tsvetaeva's work Popytka revnosti. It defines the approach of all translators to translation and evaluates the quality and adequacy of individual translation solutions in relation to the author's style and intention.

Jitka Nešporová doctoral thesis ABSTRACT The doctoral thesis focuses on the translation persona and work of Ludvík Kundera. A poet himself, he translated verse first and foremost and was able to do so from many languages, although he sometimes resorted to the use of interlinear translations. The research, however, concentrates primarily on the description, analysis and reception of his direct translations in the Czech - German language pair, which was predominant in Kundera's translation work. The thesis contributes to the understanding of the history of Czech literary translation after 1945 by describing Kundera's translation method, making accessible part of his literary estate, notably his correspondence, and providing an update to Kundera's translation bibliography. Kundera is best known as the exclusive, authorized translator of Bertolt Brecht's drama and poetry. His translations of Expressionists Georg Trakl and Gottfried Benn, for which he received the State Award for Literary Translation in 1996, are considered canonical today. The same holds true for his translations of Paul Celan's poetry and Alfred Kubin's novel Die andere Seite (The Other Side). Kundera was also the first to introduce Czech readers to the poetry of Alsatian Dadaist Hans Arp and the poetry of East German lyricist Peter Huchel....
