Analizuojant lietuvių eilėraščius ir jų anglišką vertimą akcentuojama tam tikri sintaksiniai ir formalūs laisvųjų eilių bruožai. Darbo tikslui atrinkta devyni laisvųjų eilių eilėraščiai tokių Lietuvių poetų kaip Henrikas Nagys, Sigitas Geda, Nijolė Miliauskaitė, Antanas A. Jonynas ir Sigitas Parulskis. Jų eilėraščius į anglų kalbą išvertė pripažinti literatūros vertėjai, Jonas Zdanys, Laima Sruoginis ir Kerry’is Shawnas Keysas. Analizuojant vertimus siekiama paneigti nuomonę, jog poezija neišverčiama, pateikiant pavyzdžių kaip sėkmingai, išvardyti vertėjai, perteikia originalo teksto stilistines, ekspresyvines ir kultūrines reikšmes. Teorinėje darbo dalyje pateikiami lietuvių poetų biografijos faktai, bei jų laisvųjų eilių kūrybos tematika ir stilistika. Taip pat aptariamos pagrindinės laisvųjų eilių poezijos teorijos, išskiriamos svarbiausios jos savybės ir vertimo ypatybės. Pirmiausiai, apibrėžiamas terminas ‚laisvosios eilės‘, vėliau išskiriami būdingiausi šios poezijos bruožai ir nurodomi jos vertimo sunkumai. Kaip charakteringiausi sintaksiniai bruožai išskiriama eilučių skaidymas ir pakartojimas; formalūs bruožai: eilėraščio forma arba struktūra (teksto išdėstymas puslapyje) ir aliteracija. Lyginamoji originalo ir verstinio eilėraščio tekstų analizė, visų pirma pateikia ir aptaria formalias ir sintaksinias priemones esančias originalo tekste. Tuomet analizuojamas verstinis tekstas, atsižvelgiant į pasirinktus vertėjų sprendimus perteikiant atrastas eilėraščio savybes. Dėmesys skiriamas Jono Zdanio, Laimos Sruoginis ir Kerry'o Shawno Keyso vertimo strategijoms, verčiant lietuvių poetų laisvąsias eiles. Jų sprendimai aptariami remiantis Lawrence‘o Venučio bendraisiais vertimo terminais „svetimžodžio vartojimas“ (angl. „domestication“) ir „priartinimas prie verstinio teksto kultūros“ (angl. „foreignisation“), bei Eirlys E. Davies konkrečiomis literatūrinio vertimo strategijomis. Analizuojant vertimus atsižvelgiama į tai, kaip vertėjams pavyksta perteikti verčiamo teksto eilučių skaidymą, jo formą, pakartojimus, aliteraciją, bei kultūrines realijas. Analizuojant eilėraščius pastebėta, jog pasirinkti lietuvių poetai dažniausiai naudoja tokias menines priemones kaip išskirtinią eilėraščio formą, aliteraciją ir pakartojimus, rečiau aptinkami prasminiai eilučių skaidymai. Tuo tarpu minėti vertėjai kaip įmanoma stengiasi atkurti bendrą originalo teksto efektą jų skaitytojui, sukurtą poeto naudojant pasirinktas sintaksinias ir fomaliąsias priemones. Taip pat vertėjai suvokia kultūrinių realijų svarbą originalo tekste, tadėl jų vertimo sprendimai dažniausiai sėkmingai perteikia kultūrinę informaciją verstiniame tekste. Apibendrinant, vertėjai linkę išlaikyti kuo artimesnę originalo eilėračio reikšmę labiau nei jo formą, o pasitaikantys semantiniai ar stilistiniai praradimai kompensuojami kitomis panašų estetinį ir emocinį efektus skaitytojui sukeliančiomis priemonėmis. 3 SUMMARY In general this thesis discusses some issues in translating free-verse poems from Lithuanian to English. Certain syntactic and formal features of free-verse are considered while analysing the original Lithuanian poems and discussing their translations into English. For this purpose, nine Lithuanian free-verse poems by Henrikas Nagys, Sigitas Geda, Nijolė Miliauskaitė, Antanas A. Jonynas and Sigitas Parulskis have been chosen. The translations of these poems have been done by well-acknowledged translators such as Kerry Shawn Keys, Jonas Zdanys and Laima Sruoginis. The thesis argues against the idea of the untranslatability of poetry and shows how relatively successful these translators are in transferring the stylistic, expressive and cultural values of the Lithuanian free-verse poems. The thesis starts with a theoretical section which, first, offers some major biographical facts about the poets’ lives and points out significant thematic and stylistic characteristics of their free-verse poems. It also provides insights into major theories about the nature of free verse and its translation, first by defining the concept of free verse and commenting on its characteristic features, and then by referring to problematic aspects for its translation. The syntactic features discussed include line-breaks and repetition, while the formal features that are considered include layout and alliteration. A comparative analysis of Lithuanian free-verse poems and their translations is carried out, first by observing and discussing certain formal and syntactic features used by Lithuanian poets and then by looking at the decisions made by translators in rendering these features. The focus is given to the strategies that are used by Kerry Shawn Keys, Jonas Zdanys and Laima Sruoginis in translating Lithuanian free-verse poems. For a discussion of translators’ choices, Lawrence Venuti’s broad concepts of domestication and foreignisation are applied together with more specific categorisations of translation strategies by Eirlys E. Davies. The analysis of the translations looks specifically at how translators manage to transfer line-breaks and layout, to render repetition and alliteration, and to deal with culture-specific items that appear in the original texts. It has been noted that the devices that are commonly used by Nagys, Geda, Miliauskaitė, Jonynas and Parulskis are layout, alliteration and repetition, while line-breaks are less prominent. The analysis of Keys, Zdanys and Sruoginis’ translations shows that these translators do their best to produce the same over-all effects that are created by a particular poet’s use of syntactic and formal devices. They are aware of the importance of cultural references in the Lithuanian texts, and their translation decisions of these are, in the majority of instances, successful. In general, translators seek to be faithful in transferring meaning more than form, but, in most cases, they compensate

  • Lithuanian Writers and the Establishment During Late Socialism: the Writers Union As a Place for Conformism Or Escape Vilius Ivanauskas
    LITHUANIAN HISTORICAL STUDIES 15 2010 ISSN 1392-2343 PP. 51–78 LITHUANIAN WRITERS AND THE EStabLISHMENT DURING LatE SOCIALISM: THE WRITERS UNION AS A PLACE FOR CONFORMISM OR ESCAPE Vilius Ivanauskas ABSTRACT This article analyses how the changes in the dominant attitude of local Soviet writers were encouraged, screened or restricted by the Writers Union [WU] through mechanisms of planning, control and even through measures of creating a secure daily environment. The author looks at the tensions and conflicts between writers of different generations, observing less ideology in the younger generation than in their predecessors since the development and dissemination of national images among the declared values of communism were increasing. The union as a system covered both aspects – conformism and the escape (manoeuvre). Though the WU had a strong mechanism of control, it managed to ensure for the writers such a model of adaptation where even those, who were subject to restrictions, had a possibility of remaining within the official structure, through certain compromises, while actually avoiding involvement in dissident activities or samizdat publishing. Introduction In August 1940 a group of Lithuanian intellectuals, most of whom were writers, went off to Moscow “to bring back Stalin’s Sunshine”, at the same time asking for Lithuania to be incorporated into the USSR. Forty eight years later in early June 1988 a few members of the local literary elite joined the initial Sąjūdis Group and from thenceforth stood in the vanguard of the National Revival. These two historic moments, witnessing two contrary breaking points in history, when Lithuanian writers were active participants in events, naturally give rise to the question of how the status and role of writers and their relationship with the Soviet regime changed.

  • The European and Soviet Identities.Pdf
    Paper prepared for the 8th Euroacademia International Conference Europe Inside‐Out: Europe and Europeanness Exposed to Plural Observers Lucca, Italy 28 – 30 September 2018 This paper is a draft Please do not cite or circulate 1 The Fundamental Incompatibility of the European and Soviet Identities Karolina Bagdone Vilnius University and Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore (Lithuania) Abstract In Soviet-occupied states, including Lithuania, attempts were made to create a new civilizational system and a new consciousness. This consciousness had to resist any Western model of the world which valued personalities, democracy, individuality, and freedom. It was being created through repressions and attempts to remove self-reflection from peoples’ thinking. Individuality was reduced to the life of a peasant or equated to the crowd, while doubts, inquiries, and critical thinking were completely repressed to instil complacency. The Soviet identity existed as a generalized entirety of all Soviet socialist republics. This identity had some aspects of each nation, but their similarity and homogeneousness were strongly emphasized. Lithuanians attempted to define themselves in these conditions. They turned to the supposedly great history of Lithuania and attempted to create a Lithuanian identity which would need protection and defence from everyone and everything. This position is contradictory to the European identity, which constantly re-creates itself, values diversity, fragmentation, and constant change. Is it possible to reconcile these identities? Did a universal identity, i.e. a similar one to the European identity, exist in Soviet times? How could it emerge in Lithuanian poetry in the second part of the 20th century? In my presentation, I will briefly talk about the identity model which emerged in the creative works of Eduardas Mieželaitis and Sigitas Geda.

  • KERRY SHAWN KEYS COLLECTION (Updated, 03/27/02 by Laura Dettloff)
    Archives and Special Collections Dickinson College Carlisle, PA COLLECTION INVENTORY Name: Kerry Shawn Keys (1946- ) Material: Papers (1963- ) Volume: 18 linear feet (38 Document Boxes) Donation: Regular gifts of material beginning in 1997 and continuing to the present. Usage: These materials have no restrictions on usage, except where noted in the inventory. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Keys was born June 25, 1946 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA. Harrisburg is on the banks of the Susquehanna River near the Appalachian mountain range. His father, Elmer Richard Keys, worked as a plumber and sold kitchens. Elmer Keys was of mixed Swiss-German and Irish descent, and had been orphaned at an early age when Elmer’s mother died of pneumonia shortly after his father a chauffeur, Whip Keys, shot in broad daylight in downtown Harrisburg his wealthy mistress and then committed suicide. This event marked both his father and the poet at an early age. The poet’s mother, Helen Louise Kirk, of mixed English, Scottish and Irish ancestry, was a housewife and clerk typist. Both parents were active in sports, and his mother and older brother played the saxophone, and so athletics (in 1964 the poet was chosen as athlete-of-the-year in the Central Pennsylvania public schools) and music were very much a part of the household. The poet accredits his courting of the Muse of Poetry to his skill at stalking and to an inborn body-rhythm, and rhythms inculcated through music, dance, athletics, and silence. Both his parents shared a love for poetry as did Keys’s maternal grandmother, but they were not schooled in it.

  • Folklore in the Modern Culture of Lithuania and Latvia
    Ethnologia Polona, 2012-2013, 33-34, s. 185-195 Ethnologia Polona, vol. 33–34: 2012–2013, 185 – 195 PL ISSN 0137 - 4079 FOLKLORE IN THE MODERN CULTURE OF LITHUANIA AND LATVIA GUSTAW JUZALA INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY, CRACOW POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES Abstract The present article focuses on the issue of references to folklore and mythology present in contemporary art in Latvia and Lithuania. Any scholar analysing Baltic cultures or even a person visiting Lithuania or Latvia for the first time and wishing to learn something about the culture of these countries will quickly notice that it contains a kind of a ‘folklore paradigm’ present in all aspects of everyday life, as well as in modern literature, music and visual arts. Folklore and the old world-views connected with it infiltrate professional art through various channels: (1) Subconsciously, as a part of spiritual experience, ancient beliefs still present in everyday life; (2) Consciously or subconsciously through traditional culture, which includes mythology as a ‘cultural relic’; (3) Consciously, if the artist makes deliberate references to mythol- ogy, studies it to find the answer to the eternal question of the meaning of life and conveying this meaning through works of art. Each day takes us further away from the times when mythology and folklore were the only means of conveying thoughts on the world and humankind as a whole. Nonetheless, folklore still inspires Lithuanian and Latvian artists. The ‘high culture’ of these countries, created by educated people, repeatedly returns to the motif of the lost Baltic paradise, the archetypical pagan community.

Her first book, The Patron Saint of Butterflies (2008), deals with teenage best friends growing up on a religious commune, and the violence the girls experience at the hands of the group’s leader. Galante’s Hershey Herself (2008) features a teenage protagonist spending time in a shelter for battered women. The Sweetness of Salt (2011) introduces readers to a high-school valedictorian who veers off her chosen path after discovering a family secret.

Mindaugas Kvietkauskas Vilnius, 2016 Donata Rukaitė, Lietuvių literatūros tarptautinė sklaida: vertimai į anglų ir ispanų kalbas (1990-2015), Bakalauro darbas, vadovas doc. Dr. Mindaugas Kvietkauskas, Vilniaus universitetas, Baltistikos katedra, 2016, 38 p. Raktažodžiai: lietuvių literatūra 1990-2015 m., lietuvių literatūros vertimai anglų kalbą, lietuvių literatūros vertimai į ispanų kalbą, knygų leidyba Anotacija Pagrindinis šio darbo tikslas – išnagrinėti nuo 1990-ųjų iki 2015-ųjų m. į anglų ir ispanų kalbą atliktus grožinės lietuvių literatūros vertimus: jų kiekybę, dinamiką, tematikos pokytį. Pagal surinktą lietuvių literatūros vertimų į nagrinėjamas kalbas statistiką, į anglų kalbą buvo išverstos 105, į ispanų – 15 knygų. Grožinės lietuvių literatūros vertimų į anglų kalbą analizė suskirstyta į keturis laikotarpius: 1990-1997 m., 1998-2001 m., 2002-2011 m. ir 2012-2015 m. Šie laikotarpiai atskleidžia skirtingas vertimų tendencijas tiek kiekybiniu, tiek žanriniu požiūriu. Grožinės lietuvių literatūros vertimai į ispanų kalbą dėl mažų kiekių neskirstomi į laikotarpius. Daroma išvada, kad vertimai į anglų kalbą nuo nepriklausomybės atkūrimo išgyveno įvairius laikotarpius: pirmąjį dešimtmetį vertimų kiekiai buvo maži, pagrindinė verčiamos literatūros tema – istorinė tautos patirtis. Vėliau, dėl aktyvaus dalyvavimo tarptautinėse knygų mugėse leidyba, ypač poezijos, stipriai išaugo, o paskutiniaisiais metais iki 2015-ųjų, grožinės lietuvių literatūros leidyba vėl sumažėjo, tačiau pradėti versti geriausiais pripažinti to laiko kūriniai. Išanalizavus vertimus į ispanų kalbą paaiškėjo, kad vertimų situacija kiekybiniu požiūriu menka, tačiau profesionalių ir kompetentingų vertėjų dėka į ispanų kalbą verčiami išliekamąją vertę turintys grožinės lietuvių literatūros tekstai.
