  • Translating Trump: How Should Politicians Be Translated?
    Translating Trump: How should politicians be translated? London, 31st January 2018, Louisa Van Aeken - The question as to how politicians should be translated is an extremely contentious issue among translators. There are some who believe that the entire purpose of being a translator is to replicate extracts and speeches as literally as possible in another language; it is a crime to stray from the original work and to try to create something entirely new in translation despite this, perhaps, sounding more fluent and authentic. Others, however, contest this thought, declaring that the translator’s role is not solely to translate but it essentially entails creating a new piece of work which exhausts the same meaning but is adapted to suit the linguistic and grammatical divergences between languages, whilst most importantly, keeping the style intact. Donald Trump, 45th president of the United States is the epitome among translators of controversy regarding translation. As many are aware, Trump’s language often contains grammatical errors, prejudiced vocabulary and crude humour and references. For these reasons, it is clearly recognisable that Trump is not only one of the most difficult politicians to understand, but he is also one of the hardest to translate. How to create an accurate and comprehensive translation of his, generally very distasteful, words is a key issue in the world of translation, and a matter which is regularly being reviewed. In this essay, I will examine the concept of “verbatim” translations against translations that may have been ‘adapted’ as the translator attempts to aid the reader (I define these as “oblique” translations.) In the process and development of my investigation, I also encountered several instances in which cultural references in various languages have led to differing interpretations and / or softening of terminology which may have been particularly 1 needed due to Trump’s style.

  • The Transformation of Practices of Soviet Speechwriters from the Brezhnev Era to the Early Perestroika Period
    Speechwriting als Beruf: The Transformation of Practices of Soviet Speechwriters from the Brezhnev Era to the Early Perestroika Period By Yana Kitaeva Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Supervisor: Alexander Astrov Second Reader: Marsha Siefert CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2019 Copyright Notice Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author.

Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The aim of this thesis is to offer a new perspective within the field of Soviet Subjectivity through the concept of the kollektiv proposed by Oleg Kharkhordin and applied to the case study of Soviet Secretary General‘s speechwriters from Brezhnev to Gorbachev. Namely, I examine the transformations in speechwriting practices of the kollektiv in the 1970s and 1980s. The kollektiv underwent a process of routinization in the early Brezhnev era, establishing a system of collective writing intended merely to transmit Party directives. This routine, which the contemporaries had described as numbing and uninspiring, had completely changed under Gorbachev. Practically, the routine of the speechwriting had become the continuous process of the creation of new ideas under the supervision of the Secretary General in the mid-1980s.

  • Examples of Tombstones Belonging to Interpretes, All of Whom Held Positions Within the Roman Army and Administration
    Template: KeyGuides, Font: Bembo Date: 03/06/2015; 3B2 version: 10.0.1465/W Unicode (Dec 22 2011) (APS_OT) Dir: //integrafs1/KCG/2-Pagination/TandF/REIN_RAPS/ApplicationFiles/9780415634328_text.3d RUSSIA examples of tombstones belonging to interpretes, all of whom held positions within the Roman army and administration. One of these is described in addition as a ‘negotiator’, or trader, highlighting the role of interpreters in commercial activities (Kolnik 1978). In the eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea region, where Greek, not Latin, was the LINGUA FRANCA, we find further references to interpreters. Examples from the Bosporan Kingdom, on the northern shore of the Black Sea, show interpreters in dealings with nomadic peoples of the steppe. In Syria, there is evidence of a local interpreter in the service of the Roman administration. Most sources, however, come from EGYPT and from the Greek papyrological record. Over a hundred references to interpreters and interpreting are preserved (Mairs 2012a). Some of these almost certainly refer to middlemen whose role was primarily commercial, although in the multilingual environment of Roman Egypt, knowledge of more than one language will have been an advantage to traders. In other examples, herme-neus appears as a professional title in connection with language MEDIATION. Several key areas emerge in which the Roman authorities had recourse to interpreters to deal with non-Latin-speaking subjects of the empire (Eck 2004). The army is perhaps the most important of these. Interpres appears as a professional title on inscriptions almost exclusively in contexts associated with the army, such as those of the army officers who served as interpreters in the Danubian provinces.
