Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines the catalogue of a prominent twentieth-century Welsh musical publishing company, the Gwynn Publishing Company, in its first decade. The act of performance as it connects to the development and evolution of culture informs the discussion, and the company’s director William Sidney Gwynn Williams, along with writer and translator Thomas Gwynn Jones, are considered as agents of both translation and the musical performance culture. The article discusses texts published by the company as well as individual translation strategies used, shedding light on the motives and objectives of these cultural agents. This, in turn, enables an exploration of how a flexible translation approach can be used by agents of minority language cultures to contribute to an ongoing process of performance of national identity and culture.

摘要本文考察了二十世纪著名的威尔士音乐出版公司格温出版公司成立的第一个十年的目录。与文化发展和演变相关的表演行为为讨论提供了信息,该公司董事William Sidney Gwynn Williams和作家兼翻译家Thomas Gwynn Jones被认为是翻译和音乐表演文化的代理人。本文讨论了该公司出版的文本以及所使用的个人翻译策略,揭示了这些文化代理人的动机和目标。这反过来又使我们能够探索少数民族语言文化的代理人如何使用灵活的翻译方法来促进民族身份和文化的持续表现。
