2	När Ronja blev Ronia : En komparativ stilstudie av Astrid Lindgrens Ronja Rövardotter & två av dess översättningar / When Ronja Became Ronia : A Comparative Study of the Style of Astrid Lindgren's Ronja Rövardotter & Two of Its Translations van Lint, Linus January 2023 (has links) Astrid Lindgren is arguably the most famous Swedish author of all times, known for her children’s books about Pippi Longstocking, the Brothers Lionheart, Ronia the Robber’s Daughter, and many more. Subsequently, her works have been translated into over a hundred languages. In Sweden her books are recognized for their peculiar, playful language, and immersive imagination. This paper is examining how that style of writing is translated to other languages. Specifically, Lindgren’s last novel Ronja Rövardotter (1981) and its translations to English, Ronia the Robber’s Daughter (1985), and Dutch, Ronja de Roversdochter (1982), are compared according to the particular elements that the novel uses to build its own unique feeling: the style of the narrator; the language of the characters; the names; and the illustrations. In the source text these four aspects collaborate to create a medieval fairy tale-like atmosphere, which especially is accomplished by the transformative language which combines older colloquialisms and dialectic words with a poetic phrasing, which is simultaneously unique for this literary work and deeply rooted in Swedish tradition. This is difficult to properly translate to other languages, as it is built upon playfulness with a certain language and culture. Therefore, even though both translations are perfectly valid and retell the story adequately, they both are incapable of fully translating the style of the original. Besides that, other (more deliberate) changes are resulting in a different reading experience – i.e., the inclusion of illustrations, the narrator’s oral (original)/textual (translated) language, and whether Ronia flees from wild ‘vittror’ (north-Swedish gnome-like creatures), harpies, or bird–witches. Altogether, the English Ronia and the Dutch Ronja are significantly different from the Swedish Ronja, with their own styles, but attributed to the same original author. translation translation studies literature Swedish literature comparative literature Astrid Lindgren children's literature fairytales Räuberroman vertaling literatuurwetenschap Astrid Lindgren Rita Törnqvist-Verschuur Patricia Crampton zweeds literatuur kinderboeken Räuberroman sprookjes Astrid Lindgren översättning barnlitteratur engelska nederländska Patricia Crampton Rita Törnqvist-Verschuur sagor rövarroman General Literature Studies Litteraturvetenskap
