The relevance of the work and the influence of Franz Rosenzweig, a German Jewish philosopher of the beginning of the last century; are still to get the appreciation they deserve. Rosenzweig was the author of one of the greatest – and less read – books of the 20th century, "The Star of Redemption", where he develops his philosophical system mainly on basis of theological categories. To the "monologue of the I" of mainstream philosophy, Rosenzweig opposes a "new thinking", of existential character, which values orality and the "other", and where language substitutes reason as a tool for thought. In it one can find some correspondences with the thought of Walter Benjamin. This "new thinking", also, strongly influenced Emmanuel Levinas and nowadays bears its fruits within "linguistic turn" philosophy and theology, and post-modern Jewish thought. This philosophy found in Rosenzweig's work in translation one of its main practical applications. To translate was for Rosenzweig a necessity, emanating from an ethics constituted as "first philosophy". This article examines some aspects of Rosenzweig's writings from where his "philosophy of translation" is made explicit.
Günümüzde, çevrilecek olan metnin sayfa düzeninin basıma hazır hale getirilmesinin çevirmenlerden sıkça istenmesi, çevirmenlik mesleğine olan bakış açısının değiştiğini açıkça göstermektedir. Kaynak kültürde var olan görsel bilgilerin alımlanması ve bunların erek kültüre uygun bir şekilde aktarılması gerekmektedir. Çeviri eğitiminde ‘başarılı’ bir çevirinin yalınızca sözcüklerin ve söz diziminin doğru aktarılmasıyla gerçekleşmeyeceği bilgisi edebi metinlere yönelik çözümleme yöntemini kullanarak verilebilir. Yan metinlerin değerlendirilmesi anlama sürecine katkı sağlar ve kültürel öğrenmeyi kolaylaştır. Bu bağlamda öğrencilere uyguladıkları çeviri stratejisini gerekçelendirme beceresi kazandırır. Edebi metinlerin çözümlenmesinde, yazar tarafından bilinçli kullanılan biçimsel özelliklerin ayırt edilmesi önemlidir. Bu doğrultudan yola çıkarak, bu çalışmada, çeviri sürecinde yan metinlerin önemini ortaya çıkarmaya çalışılacak ve bu bağlamda makro yapının çözümlenmesi yönteminden yararlanılacaktır. Bu nedenle "Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo,-Christiane F" adlı eserin Türkçe çevirisi "Eroin,-Christiane F'in Korkunç Anıları" [Die erschreckenden Erlebnisse der Christiane F.] kullanılacaktır. Ele alınan metnin çözümlenmesi, Koller tarafından ileri sürülen “alımlayıcının farklı beklentilerini saptayan ölçütler” (2004) göz önünde bulundurarak yapılacaktır.
Die Übersetzung, insbesondere die literarische, ist vor allem eine Art Kulturübertragung. Neben der Beherrschung der Sprachen setzt sie die Kenntnis des Allgemeinen und Besonderen des Landes wie Kultur, Tradition, Glauben, geschichtliche und gesellschaftliche Begebenheiten und auch soziale Strukturen voraus. Wenn die Sprachen und Kulturen tiefgreifend wahrgenommen werden, können die übersetzten Texte die Adressaten erreichen, d.h., dass die Ausgangssprache und -kultur für die Zielrezipienten verständlich sein können. So wird der Übersetzer als Kulturträger angenommen. Cornelius Bischoff ist beispielsweise ein wohlbekannter Name für den deutschen und türkischen Literaturkreis. Er ist vor allem bekannt als "der deutscheste Türke und der türkischste Deutsche" sowie als eine Brücke zwischen Deutschland und der Türkei. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, Cornelius Bischoff, einen Kulturträger zwischen der deutschen und türkischen Übersetzung, zu behandeln. Als ein "Haymatloser" fand er in der Türkei die Möglichkeit, die türkische Sprache und Kultur wesentlich kennenzulernen und viele türkische Werke ins Deutsche zu übersetzen. Als ein Übersetzer trug er zuallererst dazu bei, die türkische Literatur, die bedeutenden türkischen Schriftsteller, die türkische Kultur und Tradition sowie den türkischen Sprachgebrauch in Deutschland bekannt zu machen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Besonderheit Bischoffs in der Übersetzungswelt im Hinblick auf drei Aspekte diskutiert: zuerst im Hinblick auf den Zusammenhang seiner Wurzeln in der Türkei und im Türkischen - schon in seinen Wurzeln, besonders mütterlicherseits, wurde das Türkische verinnerlicht -, dann auf die in der Türkei verbrachten Jahre - die Jahre, in denen er "haymatlos" genannt wurde - und zuletzt auf die Wahrnehmung und Aneignung der türkischen Sprache, Kultur und Gesellschaft - was auf ihn lebenslang einwirkte. In diesem Kontext wird versucht, sein Leben, seine Werke und seine Wirkung im Rahmen der übersetzerischen Tätigkeit zu analysieren.
This paper is part of a broader research project, which involves the Brazilian Portuguese translation, with notes and commentaries, of the 'Gesammelte Schriften über Musik und Musiker' (On Music and Musicians) by the German composer Robert Schumann (1810-1856). In such a study, located on the border of language, literature, and music, methodology gains a double significance: firstly, the nature and extent of the incursions through fields which are autonomous in themselves, but connected in the document to be translated, not only requires unity, but also reveals the gaps the translator is exposed to; and secondly, the methodology not only defines the scientific premises of the work, but also brings to light its ethical dimension. With this in mind I have chosen a methodological approach which works in two complementary ways, with the act of translating always being the point of departure and arrival: (1) from the experience of translation and the identification of gaps and problems, followed by the registration of the first notes and comments, through systematic research in connected areas; and (2) the opposite way: from the research in related fields back to the translation and to the editing of notes and comments. Each step of the process is carefully registered, as well as the different versions of the translated text. Allowing methodology to take precedence is therefore an act of self-exposure and defense: on the one hand, it is a means of assuring visibility for the translator; on the other hand, it secures concrete parameters for judgment both by readers and critics.
Este trabalho examina os "Escritos sobre a Música e os Músicos", do compositor alemão Robert Schumann, em especial as resenhas escritas entre 1834 e 1836, com vistas a identificar ecos das principais ideias sobre linguagem e tradução desenvolvidas na Alemanha entre o final do séc. XVIII e o início do séc. XIX. Os eixos escolhidos para construir essa ideia são os eixos do sujeito e do tempo perpassados pela noção de movimento. Do primeiro, destacase a ancoragem vertical, personalíssima, operada no interior do sujeito que transita de um sistema sígnico para outro, que traduz seus pensamentos, ou ainda que empreende a passage de uma língua para outra. Do segundo, tem-se em conta a configuração desse mergulho num produto que desmantela as barreiras do tempo e, de um só golpe, contemporiza o passado e inclui o futuro.
A tradução para a criança e para o jovem: a prática como base da reflexão e da relação profissional
(2005)
This article deals with the attempt of systematizing my experience as translator of literature written for children and young people. On the basis of some considerations about aspects shared by both, the production and the translation of this kind of literature, this article presents a number of examples taken from translations of German texts into Brazilian Portuguese. Consequences concerning the importance of concepts like interaction and creativeness in translation are then briefly discussed. A claim for a more systematic consideration of the question by Translation Studies and for a special position to be occupied by this genre of texts in the professional field is the background of the article.
"Übersetzungsfabriken" : das deutsche Übersetzungswesen in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts
(1989)
Wenn der Anbruch des Zeitalters der Weltliteratur auch noch auf sich warten ließ - was die deutschen Buchhändler und Übersetzer betrifft, so folgten sie Goethes Aufruf zur "Beschleunigung" dieser Epoche nur allzu eifrig. Neben französischen Romanen und Theaterstücken waren zum Zeitpunkt von Goethes Diktum v.a. die Romane Walter Scotts Gegenstand hektischer Übersetzungstätigkeit. Ebenfalls im Jahre 1827 ließ Wilhelm Hauff in seinen satirischen Bildern Die Bücher und die Lesewelt seiner Phantasie in Bezug auf die Herstellung von Übersetzungen freien Lauf. Hauff richtet seine Satire gegen den in Zwickau ansässigen Verlag der Gebrüder Schumann, die sich maßgeblich an dem Geschäft mit den Übersetzungen der Romane Scotts beteiligten.
In her article, Karin Littau proposes a material or medial turn in the humanities and social sciences to end the neglect of the material basis to every act of communication, including translation. This proposal is warmly welcomed. As a comparatist who has for some time been trying to build bridges between literary studies and book history, I strongly support Littau's point of view – all the more since I am less optimistic regarding the general acceptance of such ideas in the humanities, and especially in literary and translation studies. I am not so sure that McLuhan and the other authorities for the importance of mediality and technicity whom Littau quotes (e.g. Kittler, Ong, and Gumbrecht) have really provoked a "crisis in the self-understanding of the human sciences". For brevity's sake, in my response below, I leave aside literary studies to focus on translation studies.
