碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 台灣文學研究所 / 101 / The first German anthology of Taiwan literature – Blick ubers Meer – was pub-lished in Germany in 1982 by Suhrkamp Verlag. The anthology was compiled and translated by Helmut Martin, a German Sinologist who had been studying in Tai-wan in the late 1960s, and two of his colleagues at Ruhr Universitat Bochum, Charlotte Dunsing and Wolf Baus. The compilation of the anthology was influenced by Joseph Lau, a native of Hong Kong, who had been educated in Taiwan and was teaching in the USA for most of his career.
In this thesis, the author’s main concern is to discover the role Helmut Martin played in 20th century German sinology and the role Blick ubers Meer played in the history of Taiwan literature translated into German. In order to answer this question, chapter two explores the history of German sinology and the history of Taiwan literature translated into German. Furthermore, the thesis elaborates on the question what image of Taiwan literature the editors were trying to create in the anthology. Therefore, chapter three analyzes Helmut Martin’s intellectual background, the editorial and historical background of Blick ubers Meer, its name, its structure as well as the image of Taiwan literature, that is created by the selection of short stories and by the literary essays that offer a frame for understanding them. Finally, in chapter four, the thesis turns to translational problems that occur in Blick ubers Meer. The author addresses general aporias in translation studies and tries to give a clear account of what translation is and what translation is capable of. The thesis discusses concrete problems of the language pair Chinese-German and sheds light on how Blick ubers Meer solves (or fails to solve) these problems.
