The Translation Criticism of Poetical Expression in Vladimir Nabokov‘S Lolita of Anton Kurnia (Viewed from Newmark‘S Concept) THE TRANSLATION CRITICISM OF POETICAL EXPRESSION IN VLADIMIR NABOKOV’S LOLITA OF ANTON KURNIA (VIEWED FROM NEWMARK’S CONCEPT) A Thesis Submitted to Letters and Humanitites Faculty In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Strata One Degree (S1) R. KSATRIO ADI HARSANTO 109026000147 ENGLISH LETTERS DEPARTMENT FACULTY OF ADAB AND HUMANITIES STATE ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY SYARIF HIDAYATULLAH JAKARTA 2014 ABSTRACT R. Ksatrio Adi Harsanto, The Translation Criticism of Poetical Expression in Vladimir Nabokov‘s Lolita of Anton Kurnia (Viewed From Newmark‘s Concept). Thesis: English Letters Department. Faculty of Adab and Humanities, State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, 2014. This research is focused on the translation field, especially about translation criticism of poetical expression in Lolita. The objective of the research is to find out how the translation criticism applied on poetical expression translation in the novel from English into Indonesian. Qualitative descriptive research, especially content analysis, is employed as the method of the research in order to reach the objective of the research above. Then, the instrument of the research is the writer himself as a prime instrument in collecting data by criticizing and assessing the types of translation criticism of the poetical expression in the novel. In order to process the data, Newmark‘s theory in translation criticism is adopted as the main reference of the research. The criticism classification such as translation as a science, translation as a craft, translation as an art, and translation as a taste are embraced to present and analyze the corpus of the research. Besides, there are other supporting theories to espouse the research‘s notion, which are poetry and poetical expression theory by Herman J. Waluyo and Roman Jakobson. Eventually, the application of translation criticism theory can be implemented in a structured manner on the poetical expression of the novel which started with reading the source language and target language version of the novel, identifying the specified parts in each verse, comparing and contrasting the translation and the English version in a table, classifying the data which have been collected, and concluding the data analysis in terms of the translation criticism theory. The result can be obtained from these steps and it shows that the criticism is classified as good. There are ten data which have been collected from the novel, and it has been classified into three expression forms; memory, longing, and disappointment. All the data is processed by the theories mentioned above, and as a result, the memory expression and disappointment expression data scores 71,25 while the longing expression scores 95. In other words, the translator has succeeded to transfer the meaning and beauty of the poetical expression from English into Indonesian, it is proved by good word selection, meaning‘s clarity, and expression‘s sublimity found in the data. So, the reader will understand quite easily when enjoying the poetical expression contained in the novel without having much hesitation or confusion. i ii iii DECLARATION I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for award of any other degree or diploma of the university or other institute of higher learning, except where due to acknowledgement has been made in the text.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY 4.0). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Juliane House has split translation into “overt” and “covert” types. Translation has been classified by Lawrence Venuti into “domestication” and “foreignization”. This research attempted to compare the translation typologies rendered by House and Venuti. House’ and Venuti’s translation typologies are similar in 8 points and differ in 4 ones. Overt translation corresponds to foreignization and covert translation to domestication. Dichotomy is neither superior nor inferior to the others. Keywords: Overt Translation, Covert Translation, Foreignization, Domestication, Cultural Filter, Translator’s Invisibility 1. Introduction Communication is a complex and dynamic process. It has a message sender and a message receiver. The former encodes the meaning into a form that the latter recognizes. The receiver decodes the form back into meaningful messages.

  • Translating Humor: a Comparative Analysis of Three
    TRANSLATING HUMOR: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THREE TRANSLATIONS OF THREE MEN IN A BOAT HARİKA KARAVİN BOĞAZİÇİ UNIVERSITY 2015 TRANSLATING HUMOR: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THREE TRANSLATIONS OF THREE MEN IN A BOAT Thesis submitted to the Institute for Graduate Studies in Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Translation Studies by Harika Karavin B U 2015 ABSTRACT Translating Humor: A Comparative Analysis of Three Translations of Three Men in a Boat When academic studies on translating humor are examined in Turkey, there are not sufficient sources or data providing enough space for the discussion of the issue. It is also observed that most of the available studies focus on the linguistic and cultural problems observed in the transference of humorous elements in audio-visual texts and deal only with the translation of the specific humorous elements (e.g. wordplay) in terms of verbal humor. As a conclusion, it has been found out that there does not exist a comprehensive study in the target system that provides detailed information on the translation of verbal humor and the problems to be observed in the translation process. Since the translation strategies display differences in relation to the type of humorous device that texts include, studies focusing on the translation of different humorous devices are required. For this purpose, a descriptive comparison of the three l f J m K. J m ’ f m u l Three Men in a Boat including different humorous devices has been carried out. In the comparisons, the g x ’ lu c h u c x ’ hum u ff c h b analyzed in a descriptive manner and an objective translation criticism has been presented.

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.

  • Reflexive Translation Studies Literature and Translation Literature and Translation
    Reflexive Translation Studies Reflexive Literature and Translation Literature and Translation In the past decades, translation studies have increasingly focused on the ethical dimension of translational activity, with an emphasis on reflexivity to assert the role of the researcher in highlighting issues of visibility, creativity and ethics. In Reflexive Translation Studies, Silvia Kadiu investigates the viability of theories that seek to empower translation by making visible its transformative dimension; for example, by championing the visibility of the translating subject, the translator’s right to creativity, the supremacy of human translation or an autonomous study of translation. Inspired by Derrida’s deconstructive thinking, Kadiu presents practical ways of challenging theories that suggest reflexivity is the only way of developing an ethical Reflexive translation. She questions the capacity of reflexivity to counteract the power relations at play in translation (between minor and dominant languages, for example) and problematises affirmative claims about (self-)knowledge by using translation itself as a Translation process of critical reflection. In exploring the interaction between form and content, Reflexive Translation Studies promotes the need for an experimental, multi-sensory and intuitive practice, which Studies Silvia Kadiu invites students, scholars and practitioners alike to engage with theory productively and creatively through translation. Translation as Critical Reflection Silvia Kadiu is a translator and academic.

  • Translating Connections in Alice Munro's
    Connections: A Journal of Language, Media and Culture Towards a Translator Criticism: (Mis)translating connections in Alice Munro’s “Too Much Happiness” Anna Antonova1 1 Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In Towards a Translation Criticism: John Donne, Antoine Berman centres translation analysis on the translator’s personality itself, suggesting the concepts of individual “position,” “project,” and “horizon” as the cornerstones of translation critique. This article will apply Berman’s model to Alice Munro’s short story “Too Much Happiness” and its Russian translation “Слишком много счастья” by Andrey Stepanov. The resulting comparative analysis framework will highlight how a translation project enforcing its inherent biases on the target text may produce a textual product misrepresenting the original and serving imperialist, rather than purely cultural, goals. Although Munro’s story, based on the life of the Russian mathematician Sophia Kovalevsky, does invite connections between the source and target cultures, the translator’s consistent self-positioning towards the heroine’s gender and nationality leads to profound shifts in meaning. Stepanov’s translation project focuses on asserting his country’s cultural and literary superiority, while revealing his condescending attitude to the female protagonist. As a result, the Russian translation of “Too Much Happiness” plays up non-essential cultural connections and undermines the author’s critical perspective on the Russian reality. At the same time, the translator’s approach discredits the story’s complex main character and effectively erases the feminist undertones of Munro’s narrative. A careful examination of this case study building on Berman’s critical model problematizes the widely-discussed concept of translator’s agency and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive translator-centred analysis which combines textual and extratextual aspects.

  • Translation As 'Rewriting': Revisiting Translation Views of Tagore and Lefevere Abstract Translation Involves the Task of Tr
    Translation as ‘Rewriting’: Revisiting Translation Views of Tagore and Lefevere SUVASH CHANDRA DASGUPTA Abstract Translation involves the task of transferring a text from the source language to the target one. During the process of this transfer, the source text is rewritten and eventually gets accepted in the receptor language as the ‘rewriting of the original’. Tagore for the first time applied the word ‘rewriting’ as an equivalent of creative translation but left it unexplained. Translation practices of Tagore and a few other translators confirm his belief that translation creates a new independent work. Lefevere gives the word a new lease of life in the 1980s through his writings and it has since come to be associated with his name. Both Tagore and Lefevere made theoretical contribution to the concept of ‘rewriting’. One needs to revisit their translation views to understand how ‘rewriting’ of the original comes about in the receptor language. Keywords: Transfer, Source Language, Target Language, Source Text, Receptor Language, Equivalent, Rewriting. Introduction J. C. Catford defines translation as “the replacement of textual material in one language (SL) by equivalent textual material in another language (TL) (Catford 1965: 20)”. Accordingly, translation, whatever be its aim and purpose, involves the task of transferring a particular text from one language to another. What actually transpires during the process of this linguistic transfer is that the source text is rewritten in the target language and that the newly-written text is eventually received in the receptor language as the ‘rewriting’ of the original text. DOI: 10.46623/tt/2020.14.1.ar5 Translation Today, Volume 14, Issue 1 Suvash Chandra Dasgupta In his attempt to trace the genealogy of the term ‘rewriting’, André Lefevere takes us back on a historical journey down to the remote past before touching upon its application and significance in translation literature.
