Children's Literature in Translation ti&t 02 02 translation interpreting and transfer For many of us, our earliest and most meaningful experiences with literature occur through the medium of a translated in translation literature children’s children’s book. This volume focuses on the complex interplay that happens between text and context when works of children’s literature are translated. What contexts of production and reception account for how translated children’s books come to be made and read as they are? How are translated children’s books adapted to suit the context of a new culture? Spanning the disciplines of Children’s Literature Studies and Translation Studies, this book brings together established and emerging voices to provide an overview of the analytical, empirical and geographic richness of current research in the field, and to identify and reflect on common insights, analytical perspectives and trajectories for future interdisciplinary research. This volume will appeal to an interdisciplinary audience of scholars and students in Translation Studies and Children’s children’s literature Literature Studies and related disciplines. It has a broad geographic and cultural scope, with contributions dealing with translated children’s literature in the United Kingdom, van coillie and mcmartin (eds) coillie van in translation the United States, Ireland, Spain, France, Brazil, Poland, Slovenia, Hungary, the former Yugoslavia, Sweden, Germany, texts and contexts and Belgium.

It covers research and scholarly reflection, theoretical and methodological, on all aspects of the core activities of translation and interpreting, but also similar rewriting and recontextualization practices such as adaptation, localization, transcreation and transediting, keeping Roman Jakobson’s inclusive view on interlingual, intralingual and intersemiotic translation in mind. The title of the series, which includes the more encompassing concept of transfer, reflects this broad conceptualization of translation matters.

  • Electronic Solutions to the Problems of Monograph Publishing
    Electronic Solutions to the Problems of Monograph Publishing By Anthony Watkinson Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries 2001 Abstract Electronic Solutions to the Problems of Monograph Publishing examines the suggestion that the so-called monograph crisis can be overcome by making use of the possibilities of electronic publishing. Research monographs are the preferred way in which scholarship is communicated in most disciplines in the humanities and some in the social sciences. The problems faced by publishers influence the practices of the scholars themselves. This study examines the nature of the crisis in the print environment, the aspirations of scholarly publishers in the electronic environment and the attitudes of and impacts on other parts of the information chain. There is as yet little experience of electronic monographs, so the emphasis is on the projections of the various players and on the major experiments that are being funded. There is nevertheless consideration of the practical aspects of making content available in digital form. No immediate solution is presented but there are pointers to fruitful future developments. Anthony Watkinson is an independent consultant with three decades of experience in scholarly publishing. He was a pioneer in putting scholarly journals online.

  • Swedish Literature on the British Market 1998-2013: a Systemic
    Swedish Literature on the British Market 1998-2013: A Systemic Approach Agnes Broomé A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy UCL Department of Scandinavian Studies School of European Languages, Culture and Society September 2014 2 I, Agnes Broomé, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. …............................................................................... 3 4 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the role and function of contemporary Swedish fiction in English translation on the British book market in the period 1998-2013. Drawing on Bourdieu’s Field Theory, Even Zohar’s Polysystem Theory and DeLanda’s Assemblage Theory, it constructs a model capable of dynamically describing the life cycle of border-crossing books, from selection and production to marketing, sales and reception. This life cycle is driven and shaped by individual position-takings of book market actants, and by their complex interaction and continual evolution. The thesis thus develops an understanding of the book market and its actants that deliberately resists static or linear perspectives, acknowledging the centrality of complex interaction and dynamic development to the analysis of publishing histories of translated books. The theoretical component is complemented by case studies offering empirical insight into the model’s application. Each case study illuminates the theory from a different angle, creating thereby a composite picture of the complex, essentially unmappable processes that underlie the logic of the book market. The first takes as its subject the British publishing history of crime writer Liza Marklund, as well as its wider context, the Scandinavian crime boom.

  • ANNIKA THOR Nominated for the 2020 Hans Christian Andersens
    ANNIKA THOR Foto Ulla Montán Nominated for the 2020 Hans Christian Andersens Award 1 Nomination Dear Jury Members and IBBY Secretariat We are delighted to nominate Author Annika Thor to the Hans Christian Andersen Award in the author category 2020. When the Board of IBBY Sweden decided to nominate the writer Annika Thor for the H C Andersen Award 2020, the principal argument was her strong advocacy for the human rights of children and young adults to be treated with dignity and respect. In her authorship, Thor centres on what it means to be human in relation to identity and belonging. The individual's struggle to find a place in existence is a motif, and the quests for love and community as well as loneliness are central concerns. Thor's texts draw attention to how migrants and refugee children are treated in their new context and social environments, in which identity and belonging are created in interaction with others. With gripping realism and insight into children's way of approaching reality, she depicts not least how refugees perceive themselves and are perceived by others as well as the experience of being viewed as an object or reduced to being part of a group without individuality. In the historical novel sequel about the Steiner girls, En ö i havet [A faraway island,] (1996), Näckrosdammen [The Lily Pond] (1997), Havets Djup [Deep Sea] (1998) and Öppet hav [Open Sea] (1999), Thor deals with themes that are as central today as during the pogroms in World War II. In an historical context she portrays how young people's identity, social and cultural belonging can develop.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. What is Literature? A Definition Based on Prototypes Jim Meyer Most definitions of literature have been criterial definitions, definitions based on a list of criteria which all literary works must meet. However, more current theories of meaning take the view that definitions are based on prototypes: there is broad agreement about good examples that meet all of the prototypical characteristics, and other examples are related to the prototypes by family resemblance. For literary works, prototypical characteristics include careful use of language, being written in a literary genre (poetry, prose fiction, or drama), being read aesthetically, and containing many weak implicatures.
