  • Translation, Reputation, and Authorship in Eighteenth-Century Britain
    Translation, Reputation, and Authorship in Eighteenth-Century Britain by Catherine Fleming A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Catherine Fleming 2018 Translation, Reputation, and Authorship in Eighteenth-Century Britain Catherine Fleming Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This thesis explores the reputation-building strategies which shaped eighteenth-century translation practices by examining authors of both translations and original works whose lives and writing span the long eighteenth century. Recent studies in translation have often focused on the way in which adaptation shapes the reception of a foreign work, questioning the assumptions and cultural influences which become visible in the process of transformation. My research adds a new dimension to the emerging scholarship on translation by examining how foreign texts empower their English translators, offering opportunities for authors to establish themselves within a literary community. Translation, adaptation, and revision allow writers to set up advantageous comparisons to other authors, times, and literary milieux and to create a product which benefits from the cachet of foreignness and the authority implied by a pre-existing audience, successful reception history, and the standing of the original author. I argue that John Dryden, Alexander Pope, Eliza Haywood, and Elizabeth Carter integrate this legitimizing process into their conscious attempts at self-fashioning as they work with existing texts to demonstrate creative and compositional skills, establish kinship to canonical authors, and both ii construct and insert themselves within a literary canon, exercising a unique form of control over their contemporary reputation.

  • Translation and Nation
    TRANSLATION AND NATION: THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY IN THE AMERICAN RENAISSANCE A Dissertation by KOHEI FURUYA Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Larry J. Reynolds Committee Members, Richard Golsan David McWhirter Mary Ann O’Farrell Head of Department, Nancy Warren May 2015 Major Subject: English Copyright 2015 Kohei Furuya ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the significance of translation in the making of American national literature. Translation has played a central role in the formation of American linguistic, literary, cultural, and national identity. The authors of the American Renaissance were multilingual, involved in the cultural task of translation in many different ways. But the importance of translation has been little examined in American literary scholarship, the condition of which has been exclusively monolingual. This study makes clear the following points. First, translation served as an important agency in the building of American national language, literature, and culture. Second, the conception of translation as a means for domesticating foreign influences in antebellum American literary culture was itself a translation of a traditionally European idea of translation since the Renaissance, and more specifically, of the modern German concept of it. Third, despite its ethnocentric, nationalistic, and imperialistic tendency, translation sometimes complicated the identity-formation process. The American Renaissance writers worked in the complex international culture of translation in an age of world literature, a nationalist-cosmopolitan concept that Goethe promoted in the early nineteenth century. Those American authors’ texts often take part in and sometimes come up against the violence of translation, which obliterates the marks of otherness in foreign languages and cultures.

  • Propuesta De Didactización De Contenidos De Historia De La Traducción Para La Formación Del Traductor” by Pilar Martino Alba
    A PROPOSAL FOR A COURSE ON THE HISTORY OF TRANSLATION FOR A HUMANISTIC TRANSLATOR TRAINING1 Pilar Martino Alba [email protected] Universidad Rey Juan Carlos Susi Herrero Díaz (Translation) Abstract History of Translation should be considered a fundamental issue and one of the founding areas in the formative years of a translator. Within the teaching–learning process, the prospective translator has the opportunity to expand his/her worldview and learn how to handle the tapestry of encyclopedic knowledge which will allow weaving the texts with artistic skills and real craftsmanship. This constitutes the main objective of my proposal. The approach I take here extends beyond the introduction of chronological distribution divided into major historical periods. In each of them, I analyze the historical, sociological and political contexts based on texts and biographies which enable highlighting the real actors of the translation process. Finally, this approach leads toward the analysis and comments on the texts, those being the product of reflections on the translators‟ work. Thus, I propose a circular vision of the History of Translation, starting with a debate on the iconographic symbols which show clearly the translator´s activity and, subsequently, drawing the circle mentioned previously, across the areas of context, actor and text. Resumen La formación humanística inherente al traductor tiene uno de sus pilares en el conocimiento de la historia de la disciplina. En el proceso de enseñanza–aprendizaje, el futuro traductor tiene la oportunidad de ampliar su cosmovisión y aprender a manejar la lanzadera del telar de conocimiento enciclopédico que le permitirá tramar sus textos con artesanal y artística destreza, siendo éste uno de los objetivos de nuestra propuesta.

  • A Guide to Translation Project Management
    A Guide to Translation Project Management David Russi – UCAR/COMET Rebecca Schneider – Meteorological Service of Canada Published by The COMET® Program with support from NOAA’s National Weather Service International Activities Office and the Meteorological Service of Canada Version 1.0 ©Copyright 2016 The COMET® Program All Rights Reserved Legal Notice: https://www.meted.ucar.edu/about_legal_es.php Preface This Guide to Translation Project Management provides a set of written guidelines meant to assist organizations around the world wishing to produce quality translations. Although it was designed primarily as a resource for National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) interested in translating instructional materials to support their training and professional development efforts, the general concepts are relevant to any agency or organization desiring to distribute information in other languages. Translation is a complex endeavor, requiring the active collaboration of multiple participants in order to produce a quality product. This guide explains the process involved, describes some possible pitfalls and ways to avoid them, and offers guidance in creating a translation team, including the selection of a translation company or independent translators. It also touches on aspects such as translation and distribution formats, rates, tools, resources, and best practices that can contribute to a good outcome. Finally, the guide includes sample checklists, guidelines and instruction sheets that can be customized for use in various stages of the translation process. This guide was developed as a collaboration project by The COMET Program and the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC). Many thanks to Corinne McKay for her many excellent suggestions, and to Bruce Muller, for editing.
