ABSTRACT Drawing on contemporary approaches to otherness, this thesis aims to show that, despite the growing interest in so-called foreignizing translation strategies, the current theory and practice of translation in Western Europe is to a large extent still caught in nationalist self- confirmation. In the first part of my study I expose the nationalist agenda underlying the influential theories of translation developed by Antoine Berman and Lawrence Venuti by contrasting them with the ideas formulated by Walter Benjamin and Jacques Derrida. Basing their arguments on Friedrich Schleiermacher's essay on translation, both Berman and Venuti intend to undermine the nationalist stance of current translation practice by replacing it with the belief that translation primarily serves to further the understanding of the foreign other. However, this seemingly noble purpose ultimately veils the fact that the foreign other is a construct which is devised by and thus confirms the national community receiving the translation. Walter Benjamin and Jacques Derrida, by contrast, whose ideas were anticipated by Friedrich Schlegel, believe that the aim of translation is to reveal the otherness of the translating self. Based on these theoretical premises, I examine the significance of otherness in the current practice of translation. This case study focuses on the multidimensional reduction of otherness, as it becomes apparent in the translation of contemporary German prose in Britain, in particular, and to some extent also in France in the two decades preceding and following German unification (1980-1999). In a general overview which compares the selection of texts chosen for translation, the strategies used for their publication as well as the reception of these texts in the press, I conclude that three factors are of particular importance for the rejection of and the ensuing delimitation from German otherness in British and French translations during this period: ideological, generic and linguistic otherness. These particular areas are then further explored in the detailed studies on Monika Maron, Edgar Hilsenrath and Anne Duden. My case study proves that the translators and/or publishers of these authors tend to reject or appropriate those elements of their texts which would highlight the otherness underlying the British and French selves.

  • Supplementing Ricœur on Translation
    An Ethics Of Discomfort: Supplementing Ricœur On Translation Lisa Foran School of Philosophy, University College Dublin Abstract: This article compares Paul Ricœur and Jacques Derrida on the theme of translation and in particular the ethical implications of the different ways in which they approach the untranslatable. While Ricœur’s account of translation as linguistic hospitality does offer a model for an ethical encounter with the other, I argue that this account does not go far enough. My central claim is that Ricœur’s treatment of translation overemphasizes the movement of appropriation and integration. While it may not be his intention, this emphasis could lead to a certain kind of complacency that would challenge the ethical claims Ricœur makes in favour of translation as a paradigm. I propose to supplement Ricœur’s hospitality with Derrida’s untranslatable, in order to create a situation of constant discomfort thereby guarding against ethical complacency. Keywords: Ricœur, Derrida, Translation, Ethics. Résumé: Cet article compare les approches que Ricœur et Derida font du thème de la traduction en abordant en particulier les implications éthiques de leurs manières différentes d’aborder la question de l’intraduisible. Si le traitement ricœurien du problème de la traduction en termes d’hospitalité langagière offre le modèle d’une rencontre éthique de l’autre, je soutiens que cette approche ne va pas assez loin. Mon argument central est que, dans son traitement de la traduction, Ricœur met exagérément l’accent sur le mouvement d’appropriation et d’intégration. Même si cette emphase n’est peut-être pas intentionnelle, elle pourrait conduire à une certaine suffisance susceptible de remettre en question le pladoyer éthique de Ricœur en faveur de la traduction comme paradigme.

    STUDIA INTERKULTUROWE 10/2017 Maciej Stanaszek ŻYCIE DZIELONE KARLA DEDECIUSA (1921–2016) Kim przede wszystkim był Karl Dedecius? Urodzony 20 maja 1921 ro- ku w Łodzi, zmarł 26 lutego zeszłego roku w wieku prawie 95 lat, po życiu długim i pracowitym. W świadomości ludzi zorientowanych w kulturze powojennej, tak w Niemczech, jak i w Polsce, obecny jest jako tłumacz i popularyzator literatury polskiej. Ale być może – w życiu i w przekładzie – istotne są jednak szczegóły. One to sprawiają, że obraz osoby nabiera ostrości, przekonuje do siebie; przynajmniej tych, którzy gotowi są dać się przekonać. Z licznych tekstów, które pozostawił Dedecius, i nie mniej licznych wypowiedzi o nim wyłania się obraz człowieka, który swoje życie musiał (a później może i chciał) ciągle dzielić. Zaczęło się od języków i kultur. Choć jego rodzice byli Niemcami, to mieszkając w wielokulturowej Łodzi, rozmawiał w domu z ojcem po polsku, a z matką – po niemiecku (do cze- go musiała go ponoć przymuszać). Uczęszczał do polskiego gimnazjum (imienia Stefana Żeromskiego), co wynikało z rozsądku ojca, ale też z przyziemnego faktu, że czesne było w nim o połowę niższe niż w lokal- nym gimnazjum niemieckim1. Kolejne podziały życia Dedeciusa były w gruncie rzeczy konsekwencją wojny. Wcielony do Wehrmachtu, a następnie ranny pod Stalingradem, 1 Por. U. Homann, Brückenbauer zwischen Polen und Deutschland.

Theory and practice in the French discourse of translation Richard Jacquemond Aix Marseille Univ, CNRS, IREMAM, Aix-en-Provence, France Translation theory has always been intimately connected to practice. For centuries, it was mostly elaborated by translators and was always prescriptive, that is, aiming at defining the conditions for “good” translating. Actually, while it would be tempting to take the emergence of “descriptive translation studies” – to mention Gideon Toury’s (1995) most celebrated contribution to the field – as the birthmark of the study of translation as an autonomous discipline, one could argue that translation studies remain till now dependent on prescription in many ways, as remarks Lawrence Venuti (2000: 4). We find within the field of translation studies a much larger proportion of active translators than, say, the proportion of creative writers within the field of literary studies.

  • 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.

As researchers, we 517 have been searching for a satisfying answers to this question throughout the centuries. Carol Maier (1998, p. 205) who mentions how the concept of ―criticism‖ is approached within historical periods, referring to the work of other researchers, explains the difference between the ―reviewer‖ and the ―critic‖ as such: ―The reviewer alerts a reader to new books, describing them and passing judgement as to whether they are worth reading and buying; the critic addresses books that may or may not be new, considering them in detail and usually assuming a reader‘s familiarity with them‖. 1 Bu çalıĢma; dergide her ne kadar ―review‖ baĢlığı altında verilmiĢ olsa da adı geçen kitaba gönderme yapılarak, Antoine Berman‘ın temellerini attığı bir çeviri eleĢtirisi yöntemi irdelendiği için aynı zamanda, bir ―çeviri eleĢtirisi yönteminin analizi‖ olarak dikkate alınmalıdır.

  • Erfahrung Des Fremden Oder Einübung Des Eigenen? Antoine Berman Als Leser Schleiermachers – Ein Rezeptionsgeschichtlicher Problemaufriss
    Dirk Weissmann Dirk Weissmann Erfahrung des Fremden oder Einübung des Eigenen? Antoine Berman als Leser Schleiermachers – ein rezeptionsgeschichtlicher Problemaufriss I. Als eines der Hauptprobleme der Rezeption deutscher Kultur in Frankreich kann die Dichotomie von Dekontextualisierung vs. Hyperkontextualisierung bezeichnet werden, wobei man das Bild von den zwei Seiten derselben Münze benutzen könnte.1 Die damit verbundenen Interpretationsansätze bewirken ei- nerseits, dass bei der Auseinandersetzung mit deutscher Literatur, Philosophie und Kunst der historische, politische und soziale Kontext oft vernachlässigt oder gar ausgeblendet wird. Bereits Heinrich Heine warnte seine französischen Zeitgenossen in seinem Buch De l’Allemagne (1833)2 vor dieser Gefahr beim Umgang mit der deutschen Romantik. Andererseits kann man ebenso häufig beobachten, wie in Frankreich geistig-künstlerische Werke aus Deutschland auf ihre geschichtlichen Entstehungsbedingungen oder politischen Implikationen bzw. Belastungen heruntergebrochen werden.3 Dieses Phänomen kann natür- lich verstärkt in Zeiten ideologischer und kriegerischer Auseinandersetzungen zwischen beiden Ländern beobachtet werden, vor allem während der Periode 1870–1945. Aber auch heute noch – ein halbes Jahrhundert nach dem deutsch- französischen Freundschaftsvertrag – prägt die Epoche des Nationalsozialismus den Blick vieler Franzosen auf Deutschland und beeinflusst maßgeblich die Rezeption deutscher Literatur, Philosophie und Kunst.4 Die hiermit aufgeworfene Frage ist die nach dem notwendigen

In the first part of this paper, we deal with the overall nature of Berman’s hermeneutic turn. In the second part we try to discover the influence of Heideggerian hermeneutics on Berman’s reflection. Next, we discuss the key notions of Ricœurs’ hermeneutics, known as “post”-Heideggerian hermeneutics, with reference to the main concepts proposed by Berman for translation critiques. Finally, we reflect on the significance of Berman’s “unfinished” hermeneutic project. Keywords: Translation – Method – Epistemology – Hermeneutics – Heidegger – Ricœur I. Antoine Berman, a disciple of Heidegger and Ricœur? Antoine Berman, one of the leading French translation scholars, is also renowned for his translations of Ger- man, Spanish, and English literary works into French. He is also acknowledged as a phi- losopher of translation who brought the topic of translation to the level of philosophical reflection throughout each of his three books on the subject: The Experience of the For- 3 4 eign, La traduction et la lettre ou l’auberge du lointain, and Toward a Translation 5 Criticism: John Donne.
