11	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
12	De overdracht van Nederlandse getuigenisliteratuur naar Zweden : In welk opzicht verschillen de besluiten om vier getuigenisboeken in het Zweeds te laten vertalen en uitgeven Hoe ziet de receptie van deze boeken uit / The Transfer of Dutch Holocaust literature to Sweden : In what way do the decisions to publish and the receptions differ between four diaries from the Holocaust translated and published in Sweden in the last 15 years Larsson-Toll, Karna January 2021 (has links) In this case study four non-fiction books are being accompanied on their way from the Netherlands to the public in Sweden, that is from one peripheral language into another. Where did the initiative come from? Were there any subsidies and did that matter? What kind of publishers were involved and were there also other agents involved? Who were the most important cultural mediators? How were the books framed in order to be noticed in the new country? How does all this fit in with the sociological theory of transnational cultural transfer? It turned out that these books more or less followed the expected path with a few exceptions: Two of the books were published by large-scale publishers in Sweden although they had not proved to be successful in the Netherlands. And there were no signs of regular co-operation between the involved publishers. Obviously the translated Dutch books in Sweden are such a marginal business for these publishers that they do not influence their network of foreign publishers. Even if all four books belong to the same genre, they are very differently framed to be noticed in their new country.
