Strategies in Translation: A Comparison of the Helen Lowe-Porter and David Luke Translations of Thomas Mann’s Tonio Kröger, Tristan and Der Tod in Venedig within the Context of Contemporary Translation Theory Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Erfurt vorgelegt von John Richard Morton Gledhill aus Huddersfield Erfurt, 2001 urn:nbn:de:gbv:547-200300472 [http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn=nbn%3Ade%3Agbv%3A547-200300472] ii Erstes Gutachten: Prof. Dr. Fritz-Wilhelm Neumann (Universität Erfurt) Zweites Gutachten: Prof. Dr. Karlfried Knapp (Universität Erfurt) Prof. (em.) Dr. Thomas Gardner (Universität Göttingen) Datum der Promotion: 19. 6. 2003 iii To Madeleine iv Zusammenfassung Thomas Manns drei Geschichten Tonio Kröger, Tristan und Der Tod in Venedig werden mit deren Übersetzungen von Helen Lowe-Porter und David Luke verglichen. Aus dem Vergleich lässt sich feststellen, dass Lowe-Porters Übersetzungen gravierende Fehler aufzeigen, während die von Luke im Grunde genommen zuverlässig sind. Auch die Lukeschen Übersetzungen scheitern aber, wenn sie mit den poetischen, philosophischen und humoristischen Aspekten Thomas Manns Prosa konfrontiert sind. Anhand vieler Beispiele werden alternative literarische Übersetzungsstrategien diskutiert, die zu einer neuen Übersetzungstheorie führen: dem strategischen Ansatz. Auf Wittgensteins Sprachspieltheorie basierend wird der Begriff Treue (wortgetreu) neu definiert. Bei diesem Ansatz spielt die Übersetzung dasselbe Sprachspiel wie bei dem Ausgangstext. Summary Thomas Mann’s three stories Tonio Kröger, Tristan and Der Tod in Venedig are compared with the translations by Helen Lowe-Porter and David Luke respectively. From the comparison, it emerges that Lowe-Porter’s translations are deeply flawed whereas those of Luke are generally reliable. However, even Luke’s translation fails to capture the literary, philosophical and humorous aspects of Thomas Mann’s prose. Alternative literary strategies are discussed, leading to the development of a new theory of translation: the strategic approach. This redefines the traditional concept of fidelity and is based on Wittgenstein’s language game theory. In this approach, the translation plays the same language game as the source text.

Even though the official process began in 1999, thanks are due initially to Professor Dr. Ulrich Boas (Erfurt) who was the first to suggest that I should write a doctoral thesis in 1994 when he was Head of the Institute of American and British Studies at the Pedagogical University of Erfurt/Mühlhausen. Professor Dr. Fritz-Wilhelm Neumann (Erfurt) kindly offered his services as supervisor despite his heavy workload. His support has not only been very encouraging but was also tinged with a very English sense of humour. In addition, he provided his doctoral students with a very stimulating colloquium supervised by Professor Dr. K. Tetzeli von Rosador (Münster). Professor Dr. Karlfried Knapp (Erfurt) unhesitatingly undertook the onerous task of marking the thesis as second examiner as well as participating in the oral examination. Professor Dr. Eberhard Klein (Erfurt) was also an oral examiner who gave his unstinting help and support throughout the preparatory period. Professor Dr. Karl Heinemeyer (Erfurt) was always very open and helpful in his capacity as Chairman of the Examinations Committee. I have benefited from the support and help from dedicated lecturers and research workers in Erfurt’s English Department. Dr. Dagmar Haumann (Erfurt) and Professor Sabine Schülting (Berlin) provided invaluable support not only with their painstaking proofreading but also with their useful criticisms and help with initial computer problems. Even though I am used to speaking German in many demanding situations, the prospect of a public doctoral defence in German did seem to be daunting. In this context, my Erfurt colleagues Ursula Renziehausen-Espelage M.A. (Latin Lector), Dr. Andreas Marshollek and PD Dr. Helmut Schwarztrauber helped both with the stylistic aspects for the final presentation in German and with the practical problems faced by a technophobe giving a power presentation. Indeed, the team spirit and animated discussions I enjoyed during the final preparation stage was one of the most positive aspects of the whole undertaking. As I wrote my dissertation whilst working full-time as a lector and part-time as a translator, a special debt of gratitude is due to my wife Madeleine to whom the dissertation is dedicated and who never complained when holiday time had to be sacrificed, but, on the contrary, who always willingly helped with the proofreading, typing and the presentation of the ideas contained in the thesis. Thanks are also due to my son Andrew Gledhill (B.A. German First Class Honours) who not only contributed to the discussion of ideas but also provided his own original poetry for purposes of illustration. He has found the approach in this thesis to be of practical value in his work as a translator. I very much hope he continues the family tradition of translation and will one day give his own contribution to the debate. Finally, I would like to express my appreciation to my teaching colleagues at Erfurt, Dr. Angelika Bonczyk and Christina Seyfarth, who in their capacity as co- ordinators took my academic work into consideration when planning the time-table. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTERS I.

  • 1 Thomas Mann, World Author: Representation and Autonomy In

    1 Thomas Mann, World Author: Representation and Autonomy In

    Thomas Mann, World Author: Representation and Autonomy in the World Republic of Letters Tobias Boes, University of Notre Dame In her influential study The World Republic of Letters, Pascale Casanova draws a firm line between what she calls “national” and “international” writers. For national writers, “literary aesthetics (because they are connected with political questions) are necessarily neonaturalistic.” International writers, on the other hand, are described as “cosmopolitans and polyglots who, owing to their knowledge of the revolution that have taken place in the freest territories of the literary world, attempt to introduce new norms” (Casanova 110-11). There are a number of different criticisms that could be leveled at this distinction. Here, I want simply to point out the striking similarities between what Casanova alleges are universal sociological categories on the one hand, and a particular historicizing narrative about literary modernism on the other. Casanova insists, for instance, that the struggle for “autonomy,” which she defines as “literary emancipation in the face of political (and national) claims to authority” (39), represents the most distinctive characteristic of international writing. She thereby echoes claims that have been made about “modern” art since at least the late nineteenth century (for an overview of these debates, see Goldstone). Even her remapping of the struggle between “autonomous” and “dependent” modes of thought onto the terms “cosmopolitan” and “national” is echoed by recent trends within modernist scholarship (see for example Walkowitz). This homology is striking, especially since a very different kind of “international writer” (or, as I shall henceforth call them, “world author”) seems to have moved to the foreground in the present day.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the fîlm along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Him is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been fîlmed, you will And a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a defînite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

    Analysis of the Translations of Gone with the Wind Based on Gideon Toury's Theory of Norm

    ISSN 1799-2591 Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 9, No. 6, pp. 688-693, June 2019 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17507/tpls.0906.11 Analysis of the Translations of Gone with the Wind Based on Gideon Toury’s Theory of Norm Xunfeng Yin TaiShan University, Tai’an, Shandong, 271000, China Abstract—Since there are many translated editions of Gone with the Wind, there emerged many disputes and comments towards different translators’ different products. In this article, the author intends to analyze Gideon Toury’s theory of translation studies and focuses on norm to show that controlled by a specific translation norm, translators tend to take a specific translation strategy, which would be helpful for readers to better understand different translated editions. Index Terms—descriptive translation studies, translation strategy, translation norm I. CHINESE EDITIONS OF GONE WITH THE WIND Gone with the Wind, written by American writer Margaret Mitchell, was published in 1936. As soon as it was distributed, it became the best seller, and was sold over 2,000,000 copies that year. In 1937, it won Pulitzer Prize and the Prize of American Publishers’ Association. Till 1949, the year Margaret Mitchell died of car accident, the novel had been translated into 18 languages, published in over forty countries, and sold about 8,000,000 copies (Preface of Gone with the Wind 2002 English edition). According to Washington Post, till 1980, the novel had been translated into 31 languages; the sales had reached over 21,000,000 copies (Zhu, 1991). In China, the movie adapted from the novel was released in Shanghai in 1940, and was cheered by Shanghai people during its show of over forty days.
