Úvod Překladatelstvím, i když prozatím pouze v laické podobě, se zabývám již delší dobu. Stejně tak se zajímám především o vědecko-fantastickou literaturu. Ve své bakalářské práci jsem spojila obojí. Po delším hledání vhodného překladového materiálu jsem narazila na díla skotského autora Hala Duncana. Ten se do povědomí širšího okruhu čtenářů fantasy zapsal teprve relativně nedávno svou románovou prvotinou Pergament. Jeho tvorba určitě stojí za povšimnutí, už jen kvůli nápaditosti a originalitě témat, o kterých píše. Na jeho oficiálním blogu jsem nalezla odkaz na povídku „Spatřín oka“, kterou jsem použila pro účely své bakalářské práce. Ta obsahuje můj překlad povídky z angličtiny do češtiny. Stručně představí autora a jeho literární tvorbu. Dále se zabývá rozborem překladu povídky, a to z hlediska stylistického, syntaktického, lexikologického a morfologického. Upozorňuje na problémy spojené s překladem uměleckého díla, zejména z oblasti vědecko-fantastické literatury. Používá teoretických poznatků z odborné literatury zaměřené na překlad a posléze se podrobně věnuje konkrétním problematickým pasážím a jednotlivým výrazům z překladu. 1 2. Překlad povídky Spatřín oka Obrazy chtíče „Spatřín oka,” řekla Hopskalka, Vokoberova nevlastní prasestra (adoptovaná), „je místo, kam si lidé ukládají obrazy chtíče – jinýma slovama všechno, čeho si nejvíc cení, věci, který je zaslepí svým oslnivým leskem. Může to být určitá malba nebo socha, pokladnička se zlatem a šperkama nebo kufřík plnej tisíce různých poznámek nebo vysněnej dům, kterej viděli v časopise, ohromující podívaná z cest, dokonce i druhý lidi. Cokoli zachytí jejich oko, chápeš, je zachyceno v oku, uskladněno ve Spatříně, všechno se to v průběhu života člověka vyvíjí v jeho soukromou kupu divů. Lidi říkaj, že krása je v očích pozorovatele, rozumíš, ale jako obvykle to maj celý naruby; měli by říkat něco dočista jinýho.“ „Krása je ve Spatříně oka,“ vysvětlila Hopskalka. „Takže tam v současnosti žije většina nás víl.“ Vokober se vyhoupl vedle ní na okraj skleničky na víno, kde se předtím nahý koupal, otřepal Rioju ze svých křídel a rozhlédl se kolem po křišťálovém lese na stolku, kde se právě před několika málo hodinami narodil, v momentě čirého rozmaru vyšlehl do existence při cinknutí u uštěpačného přípitku, a posléze se rozechvělý objevil v rozplizlém mnohobarevném světě – po stěnách a stropě kroužily mandaly, hrany každé rovné linie v místnosti se svíjely jako hadi. Třepotal se ve spleti gestikulujících rukou, točil se v salvách smíchu, tančil na plamíncích zapalovačů zdvižených k jointu a přistál na nose sněžného leoparda, který se povaloval ve stínu koutku oka. Měl odtud dobrý výhled na jednoho z hostů, jak předvádí úžasný karetní trik se srdcovým klukem. A tak tam tak dřepěl, civěl jako pitomec do víru dění a vystřeloval z prstů malé plamínky (protože to uměl), když v tom se přitřepetala Hopskalka a pohupovala se před ním ve vzduchu. „Je fajn čas od času se dostat ven, co?“ prohodila. „Ahoj, jsem Hopskalka.“ „Já jsem… Vokober,“ rozhodl se. „Co je to čas od času? A ven z čeho?“ 2 Svraštila čelo a ze zvědavosti naklonila hlavu. „Jo, tak,“ řekla. „Ty musíš být nováček.“ Pak se pustila do vysvětlování. Hrací plocha se teď ustálila. Všichni opilí, zfetovaní a motající se lidští hýřilové se už vytratili v úsvitu, hostitelka ve své posteli nevěděla o světě, ale do ranního nebesky modrého okna se sklonil sluneční svit a zajiskřil na stromech z vinných sklínek a na věžích ze sklenic nastavěných po celé ploše snídaňového pultu. Zabarvil celou místnost hřejivým jasem, který měl Vokober jako novorozenec za právě tak vzrušující jako ostré odlesky kaleidoskopu jeho zrození. Hory a útesy z kožených křesel a pohovky, poliček a skříní, krbu, ledničky a barového pultu byly všechny velmi vysoké; prázdné lahve byly zality svěže zelenou září; pivní plechovky s nedopalky od cigaret působily jako lákavě strašidelná místa, dutá a s ozvěnou; dokonce i popelníky s vysoko nakupenými špačky od jointů vydávaly opojnou vůni. Zatímco Hopskalka vysvětlovala, Vokober zkoumal. Teď si přehodil nohy přes okraj vinné sklínky vedle ní a prohlížel si svoje teritorium. „Chceš říct, že si tohle všechno schovávají ve Spatříně?“ zeptal se. „Napořád?“ „Ne, to asi ne,“ řekla Hopskalka. „Většinou by tady na ně byl moc velkej binec. Koberce jsou fajn a je to tady celkem útulný, ale jedině nějakej svéráznej magor by si to tady zařídil takhle. Ne, kdyby tohle místo bylo ve Spatříně, nejspíš by vypadalo trošku víc jako z katalogu Ikey.“ Vokober vážně přikývl, i když neměl potuchy, co to Ikea je, ale měl za to, že to bude mít něco společného s těmi nazlátlými proužky. Sluneční svit, jeho oslnivý zdroj i výrazný účinek, spustil jeho představivost. „Pochopíš to, až si najdeš spatřitele,“ řekla Hopskalka, „a to budeš chtít udělat šupito presto. Vzala bych tě s sebou, ale dva ve stejným Spatříně? To by prostě nedělalo dobrotu, končí to pak hašteřením kvůli vzhledu interiéru; a ty lidi, no, jedna víla ve Spatříně jim dodá jiskřičku obrazotvornosti, ale víc by jich způsobilo něco jako přiblblej ohňostroj. Začnou být celí vrtkaví a mít umělecký sklony, jsou zaslepení kouzlem všeho, skutečnýho nebo vymyšlenýho,

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Ink by Hal Duncan Ink : the Book of All Hours 2
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Ink by Hal Duncan Ink : The Book of All Hours 2. After the release of the bitmites -- hybrids born from a union between nanotechnology and the engraved souls of the dead -- everything has changed. Trying to create the worlds of human imagination, the bitmites have torn reality apart and cast the shade of Hinter over the Vellum. Small enclaves of civilisation, ruled by scattered Unkin, remain, stuck in an eternal present. In these barren lands, Reynard's little troupe of actors stages a mystery play for a duke of hell. Soon, this drama of sex, revenge and revolution becomes fatally interactive. In a different fold, 1949, the futurist movement has given the rivalling fascists a run for their money, and the former turn out to be far from the lesser evil. Jonathan, who calls himself Jack now (and for good reasons), enlists his brother, master thief Reinhardt von Strann, to steal the Eye of the Weeping Angel, a magical artefact that is supposed to help him rewrite the course of history. Meanwhile, an eternity later, a small squad of inter-dimensional adventurers, whom we got to know, in other lives, as the Troupe D'Reynard, prepare for their ultimate mission: to secure the final draft of The Book of All Hours and keep the rogue angels from creating their god of wrath from its pages. The final battle takes place in 1929, in a city that was once known as Sodom, and which is about the be destroyed yet again. But this time, Mad Jack Carter is determined that even if he can't save the people of Sodom, he will find the one reality, the one possibility where one man is allowed to live: Tammuz, Thomas Messenger, the eternal victim of the ever-raging war.

  • Contextualizing Reading Within the Lives of Avid Readers
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: READING BEYOND THE PAGE: CONTEXTUALIZING READING WITHIN THE LIVES OF AVID READERS Jennifer Anne Nolan-Stinson, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Dissertation Directed by: Professor John L. Caughey, Department of American Studies My dissertation seeks to add to our understanding of reading as a social and cultural practice by examining the roles that reading plays within the everyday lives of four avid readers. The recent proliferation of national reading studies in the English-speaking world indicates a current international preoccupation with reading, but neither these studies nor most previous academic scholarship on reading have taken actual, individual readers into account. Through employing a self-reflexive ethnographic life history approach that includes a series of interviews with each reader and an analysis of how the readers arrange their reading materials in their homes, my work contextualizes how readers use reading and make it meaningful. I argue that new questions and emphases emerge once we center studies of reading within the lives and words of actual readers. For example, my focus on these readers’ daily reading practices reveals problems inherent in privileging book and literary reading and points to the need to include a broader variety of genres and a wider array of formats, such as periodicals and online reading, if we wish to understand how reading is used in everyday life. Looking at each reader’s life history also emphasizes the need for considerations of the influences of space and time on reading, both at home and while traveling, as well as the material aspects of the reading experience.

  • “Correcting the Balance” Nalo Hopkinson Interviewed by Terry Bisson
    “CORRECTING THE BALANCE” NALO HOPKINSON INTERVIEWED BY TERRY BISSON Your work is often described, even by yourself, as “subverting the genre.” Isn’t that against the rules? Or at least rude? Science fiction’s supposed to be polite? Dang, may- be I’ll take up poetry instead. To tell the truth, I kinda rue the day I ever let that quotation out into the world. I used it in a Canadian grant application fifteen years ago. In that context, when not a lot of science fiction and fantasy writers were getting grants from the arts councils because many of the jurors thought science fiction and fantasy were inherently immature, it worked. It allowed me to come out swinging and get the jury’s attention. But as something said to science fiction people, it just sounds presumptuous. I don’t remember how it got out of my confidential grant application and into the larger world. It was probably my own doing, and my own folly. Now the dang thing keeps coming back to haunt me. People quote it all over the place, and I can feel my face heating up with embarrassment. Science fiction and fantasy are 72 | NALO HOPKINSON already about subverting paradigms. It’s something I love about them. And yet, if I’m being honest, there is some truth to that piece of braggadociousness. No one can make me give up the writing I love that’s by straight, white, Western male (and female) writers, but at a certain point, I began to long to see other cultures, other aesthetics, other histo- ries, realities, and bodies represented in force as well.
