Even if translation has a long tradition within the conveyance of foreign languages, there has been a vehement discussion on its role since the 1970s – at least with respect to some languages, such as English. In the context of German as a foreign language this topic has been discussed only to some extent. With this in mind, the following article aims to examine the role of translation in the field of the German as a foreign language with specific focus on the advantages and limitations associated with its conveyance and the resultant consequences.
Der folgende Artikel untersucht die sich in Thomas Braschs Übersetzung von Shakespeares "Wie es euch gefällt" manifestierenden Übersetzungsstrategien im Hinblick auf den ihnen jeweils zugrundeliegenden Bearbeitungsimpuls. Der Artikel geht dabei von der Annahme aus, dass die kulturelle Leistung einer Übersetzung als unabhängig von Ähnlichkeitskriterien erfahrbar werden kann; nämlich dann, wenn es gelingt, zu verdeutlichen, wie sie ihre beiden an Ursprungs- und Zielsprache gebundenen kulturellen (Kon-)Texte als sprachlich-ästhetisch gefasste Welten zitiert und immer zugleich variiert. In dieser doppelten Distanz zu Ursprungstext und tradiertem Kontext der eigenen Zielsprache manifestiert sich Übersetzung als kulturelle Handlung. Braschs Übersetzung enthüllt ihren emotionalen, sprachlichen, und kulturellen Reichtum, sobald der Leser erkennt, wie die politische Überzeugung des Autors seinen verschiedenen Übersetzungsstrategien zugrundeliegt.
Wie kaum ein anderes Projekt hat die BigS in den vergangenen sechs Jahren nicht nur in der akademisch-theologischen Landschaft, sondern auch in vielen Kirchengemeinden, bei Kirchenleitungen und in der gesellschaftlichen Öffentlichkeit für Aufsehen gesorgt. Dabei hat sich an ihr vor allem die Frage entzündet, ob sie als Übersetzung im eigentlichen Sinn oder bestenfalls als interpretierender Kommentar des biblischen Textes zu begreifen sei. Das damit eröffnete Spannungsfeld soll im Folgenden näher beleuchtet werden, ohne dass dieses mit Blick auf den notwendigerweise geringen Umfang des vorliegenden Beitrags umfassend ausgeleuchtet werden könnte. Die vorliegenden Überlegungen zielen vielmehr darauf, zu verdeutlichen, dass jede Übersetzung immer schon Interpretation und dass Texttreue daher nicht mit Wörtlichkeit gleichzusetzen ist.
This study concentrates on the problems of subtitling, mainly focusing on compensating strategies in the context of its restrictions with respect to time and space. With the help of a corpus analysis, what kind of information is condensed in the subtitling and whether these reductions have a role on the reception of the film will be analysed with regard to the confrontation of 1119 translating segments.
Franz Kafkas Äußerungen zu seiner angeblichen Unmusikalität sind in der Kafka-Forschung hinlänglich bekannt. Weniger erforscht ist, wie diese spezifische Unmusikalität mit Kafkas poetologischem Konzept zu vereinen ist. Die Auffassung von Musik in seinen Texten, wie zum Beispiel in 'Josefine, die Sängerin' oder 'Das Volk der Mäuse', im Schluss des Romanfragments 'Der Verschollene' und in seinen Briefen und Tagebucheintragungen, verdeutlicht, dass er ein ganz anderes Verständnis von Musik hatte als etwa sein musikalischer Freund Max Brod. Vor dem Hintergrund von Brods Übersetzungsarbeit am Libretto von Leoš Janáčeks 'Jenůfa (Ihre Ziehtochter)' und von der Einführung der Oper auf die internationale Szene wird ein Zusammenhang zwischen Musikalität und Kafkas Auffassung von Literatur hergestellt.
In Turkey currently there are about 20 Translation Studies departments with over 4000 students in six different languages. All these departments generally include a final project in their curriculum in the last two semesters, where the students have to prove their translation competence. In the literature and at the web sites of the Translation Studies departments in Turkey and abroad there is very little teaching material about these final projects while these projects are invaluable for the prospective translators. Therefore these projects have to be arranged as very functional, effective and representative of the translation reality. While the connection to the real translation market is assured, the students have to demonstrate their translation competence. Thus all Translation Studies departments have to consider these conditions and to organize this course under the real conditions of translation market and taking into consideration translation theory as well.
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.
Çeviri yaparken her iki dile, kültüre yeterince hâkim olmamak bir dizi çeviri hatalarına yol açabilir. Bu noktada kaynak ve erek dilde yeterli kelime hazinesine sahip olmanın yanı sıra kelimelerin kullanım alanlarını, kurallarını, edim bilimsel etkilerini, sözdizimsel kuralları vs. de iyi bilmek gerekir. Humboldt ve Saussure'ün dil hakkındaki düşüncelerinden etkilenen Trier'in ortaya attığı sözlüksel alan teorisinin metin anlama ve anlatma edinci kapsamında etkilerinin neler olabileceği ve çeviribilimin sözlüksel alan teorisinden nasıl yararlanabileceği konusu irdelenmeye çalışılacaktır.
Trier'e (1973:5) göre bir sözcüğün anlaşılabilmesi için, sözlüksel alanın tamamının bilinmesi gerekir ve ancak sözlüksel alana hâkim isek o sözcüğü doğru anlayabiliriz. Anlam sadece ve sadece sözlüksel alan sayesinde vardır. Sözlüksel alan yoksa anlam da yoktur. Anlatılmak istenen düşünceye veya olguya dair bir kelimenin belli bir dilde bulunmaması bu düşüncenin veya olgunun o dilde olmadığı anlamına gelmez. Hayata dair genel kültür bilgimize ve tecrübelerimize dayanarak bu yeni kavramı anlayabiliriz.
Eines der grundlegenden Probleme, vor denen jeder literarische Übersetzer steht, ist die Übernahme des Stils eines Autors. Die erste Frage, die sich daher dem Übersetzer Sebalds stellt, ist die nach dem Wesen seines Stils, worin seine Magie besteht, damit jeder aufmerksame Leser im Stande sei, ihn sofort wiederzuerkennen und sich, ohne analytische Absicht, bis in die hintersten Winkel des Textes führen lässt - umso mehr ein Übersetzer, der beste Leser eines Autors, nach Friedrich Schlegel der ideale Leser.
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.
