Libros de Caballerías
: Pseudotranslations and references to fictitious originals are a staple of chivalric literature before Don Quixote. In particular, 75 % of the Spanish libros de caballerías refer to some form of, mostly invented, source text. Despite its ubi-quity, there are a range of different strategies in connection with what used to be considered a single motif. There are pseudotranslations from fanciful languages, and texts written by magic chroniclers, but also more or less realistic scenarios of translation from foreign tales or chronicles. Some examples are a consequence of the so-called editorial genre – paratextual conventions facilitated by printers and booksellers. Other cases consciously negotiate a textual status throughout the narrative that is less stable and less homogeneous than might be expected. This article briefly explores the different settings of the romances and points out several cases of ambiguous presentation, asking whether pseudotranslations should be treated differently from so-called authentic translations when considering early modern narrative.
在唐吉诃德之前,伪译和引用虚构的原著是骑士文学的主要内容。特别是,75%的西班牙语libros de caballerías引用了某种形式的源文本,大部分是虚构的。尽管它无处不在,但有一系列不同的策略与过去被认为是单一的主题有关。有来自异想天开的语言的假翻译,也有魔法编年史家写的文本,但也有或多或少来自外国故事或编年史的翻译的现实场景。一些例子是所谓的编辑体裁的结果——由印刷商和书商促成的双文本惯例。其他情况下,有意识地协商文本状态在整个叙事,不稳定和不同质比可能预期的。本文简要地探讨了浪漫小说的不同背景,并指出了一些模棱两可的表达方式,探讨在考虑早期现代叙事时,是否应该将假翻译与所谓的真实翻译区别对待。

E. Osmanović, Übersetzung des Unübersetzbaren
: Kennzeichnend für Heimito von Doderers Roman Die erleuchteten Fenster (1951) sind nicht nur hochkomplexe Satzkonstruktionen, sondern auch die in den Text einmontierten Auszüge amtssprachlicher Dokumente. Der Übersetzer Relja Dra ž i ć legte 2015 mit Osvetljeni prozori eine serbische Übersetzung des Textes vor. Unter Maßgabe von Wilhelm von Humboldts Diktum, dass eine Übersetzung zwar das „ Fremde “ vermitteln solle, nicht jedoch das Gefühl der „ Fremdheit “ hin-terlassen dürfe, werden drei Bereiche der Übersetzung daraufhin untersucht, ob und, falls ja, wie die vorliegende Übersetzung die Interpretationsmöglichkeiten des Textes verändert hat.

: Chinese poetic tradition presents such a self-centred system that it seems almost impossible to imagine a bilingual poet working with two languages, one of which is Chinese. It is highly significant to explore what changes in this situation (if any) one can observe in the realm of contemporary Chinese poetry with its openness to foreign influences and important shifts in the poet ’ s persona. The first part of this exploration is an analysis of poets ’ critical and theoretical writing that elaborates themes of poetic language and cultural identity. These are further examined with the help of a series of interviews with poets representing different faces of multiethnic Chinese society. The result shows discrepancies between the projected identity of a globalized “ Chinese poet ” and the vision of a bilingual poet as one rooted in the culture of minorities. The second part is dedicated to a case study of the Australian-Chinese poet Ouyang Yu, who represents a unique case of Chinese – English bilingualism. Ouyang Yu uses several strategies for constructing his multicultural identity, maintaining an illusion that it is the reader and not the author who is an alien in need of the poet to guide him through an unfamiliar linguistic landscape.

Mélanie Yœurp, meines Bruders
: Uwe Timm ’ s autobiographical novel Am Beispiel meines Bruders (2003) epitomizes the wave of family narratives published in Germany around the turn of the millennium. Indeed, many scholars have noted that the narrator exhibits a nuanced and empathetic approach to his family ’ s Nazi legacy. This article proble-matizes Timm ’ s nuanced tone. I argue that he adopts different narrative strategies to discuss his brother, who volunteered for the SS-Totenkopfdivision at eighteen years of age, and his mother, who remains unnamed throughout the novel. Drawing on Itamar Even-Zohar ’ s polysystem theory of translation, and more specifically on his concept of conservative and innovative repertoires, I argue that Timm translates stories about members of the war generation in a differentiated way, thereby producing distinct effects in each case. More specifically, I demonstrate that the narrator creates a rupture with his brother, subjecting his choice of words to scrutiny and following in the footsteps of the well-established Väterliteratur of the 1970s to the 1980s. Conversely, Timm strengthens his affiliation with his mother by avoiding an overly critical examination of her, focusing instead on her use of non-verbal and non-politically loaded language.

: A high percentage of colonial Taiwanese literary works during the late Taish ō period to the Sh ō wa period (1920 – 1946) was written in Japanese. To write in Japanese was not only a promising way to have works published in imperial Japan, but also provided a possible path for Taiwanese authors to reach a wider readership among Japanophone communities in East Asia. However, in the im-mediate post-war years, the body of Japanophone Taiwanese literature was “ torn off ” from Taiwanese literary history in the name of “ decolonization. ” All publications in Japanese were abolished in Taiwan from 1946, and it was not until the lift-ing of the thirty-eight-year period of martial law that Japanophone Taiwanese literature was finally reintroduced to post-war Taiwanese generations in Chinese translation. This article will tackle the issues of how Japanophone Taiwanese literature was “ translated back ” into Chinese in order to reflect “ authentic ” Taiwanese culture. The translations of the Taiwanese writer Nao Weng ’ s works will be used as examples, as his modernist literary representation is particularly worthy of scrutiny and highly challenging for translators to render “ faithfully. ”
