The story of Hansel and Gretel, published by the German Brothers Grimm, has been translated from German to Turkish many times by many translators. In this context, our study aimed to examine the translation approaches, processes and strategies of translation works produced by different translators and in different years. The sentences forming the source text were selected at random and their equivalents were searched for in three different translation texts. Our research evaluated general translation strategies and included the similarities/differences found in the source and target translation works. As a result, it can be seen that translation strategies such as addition, rearrangement, enlargement and reduction are applied. Our study was examined according to Gideon Toury‘s goal-directed translation theory and tried to determine within the framework of adequacy and acceptability using examples.
One of the most memorable moments of Joe Biden’s inauguration as president of the USA was that of Amanda Gorman reciting her inaugural poem The Hill we Climb. The translation of this text led to a far-reaching controversy in the international media while at the same time raising a series of theoretical questions in the field of translation studies. The present paper intends to discuss certain theoretical issues such as the translator’s visibility and literary translation related to forms and relations of power by placing them in the context of the shift of theoretical paradigms in translation studies which started in the second half of the 20th century.
The aim of this article is to elaborate on the nouns listed in the title based on selected vernacular records, which in a certain phrase, but also by themselves, express the meanings making troubles/difficulties and seeking excuses/evasions. First of all, Transylvanian Saxon and High German respectively the German colloquial language have these lexemes in common, as well as vernacular words that do not belong to this linguistic level. Furthermore, it should be clarified that these vernacular words are attested in different sound variants from case to case in the Rhenish, in the Palatine and in the Bavarian-Austrian vernaculars, in the same or similar meanings in corresponding vernacular dictionaries. Transylvanian Saxon proper vocabulary is represented by a borrowing from Latin and two borrowings from Romanian. The dialect documents presented in the article are taken from the Transylvanian-Saxon Dictionary, its archive, the North Transylvanian Dictionary as well as from dialect and specialist literature. The etymological explanations respectively the etymological considerations of the analyzed lexemes have been prepared mainly based on relevant specialist dictionaries.
German-language literature of the Banat develops under specific historical circumstances amidst a multiethnic Region, in which the multiple social-political, religious and linguistic relations to Romanians, Hungarians, Serbs and Jews find their immediate expression. The beginning of the German-language writings of the Banat Swabians are under the aegis of the Austrian model, especially of the Viennese model. Here one mainly includes the extremely stimulating press and theater tradition of the Banat, which can still be remarked in the interwar period, and which created the conditions for the unfolding of a lively spiritual life. Johann Friedel born in Timișoara, an outstanding representative of Josephine epistolary satire, was considered on account of his novels and letters to be the founder of the local German-language writings by several scholars.
Zeuge schauerlicher Tragik : Erhard von Mutius im Briefwechsel mit Gerhart Hauptmann 1933-1944

Yvonne Hergane‘s first novel The Chameleon Ladies can be discussed from several perspectives. On the one hand, it can be read as a generational novel, on the other hand, it can also be read as a women‘s novel in the sense of portraying the history of emancipation of four generations of women. The novel can also be seen as a historical novel, because it covers a historical period of over 120 years and describes the living conditions of four generations of women, three of them living first in Romania and then in Germany, which are also historically conditioned. The novel could therefore also be seen as part of migration literature. This article will explore this complexity of this structure.
The new forms and practices of communication on the Internet open up an interdisciplinary field of research within which social media interaction is a central research area. In the first months after the outbreak of the Corona pandemic (2020), fake news has been spread massively via social media. Social media data allow the extraction of large amounts of data and can be used in a variety of ways, e.g., to detect side effects of drugs or to identify groups of people who are critical of certain treatments. Drawing on comments on the discussion platform Reddit, the article reveals the role of everyday experience in fixing knowledge about the placebo effect.
"Herakleitos sagt, dass die Wachenden ein und dieselbe gemeinsame Welt (éna kai koinòn kosmon) haben, während von den Schlafenden ein jeder sich zu seiner eigenen (Welt; eis ídion apostréphesthai) abwende." (DK 22 B 89) Diese "eigene" Welt des Schlafenden heißt ídios kósmos, die Welt der Träume. "In der Nacht entzündet der Mensch ein Licht für sich selbst, sterbend, seine Sehkraft ist erloschen." (DK 22 B 26). – Heraklit (535 - ca. 475 v. u.Z.) trifft die Überzeugung der gesamten antiken Kultur, dass der Wachzustand eine Welt des Zugänglichen, des Lichterfüllten, die Welt also des Öffentlichen, des Gemeinsamen und des Logos darstelle: koinos kósmos. ...

The Chess Story, written at the end of 1941, is considered internationally to be Stefan Zweig‘s greatest success. At the center of the novella is undoubtedly Dr. B. He comes from a distinguished Austrian family, was the head of a law firm in Vienna, which advised monasteries and part of the imperial family in property matters. When the Nazi occupation of Austria was imminent, the activity became dangerous. A day before Hitler invaded Austria, he was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned in the Hotel Metropole. The isolation and monotony wore him down. Shortly before a new interrogation is scheduled, Dr. B. discovers a book with a collection of one hundred and fifty chess games. To escape the threat of nothingness, he plays chess games blind. Playing chess is not understood by Dr. B. as a mere pastime, but as meaning; it has an existential significance.
The article is devoted to a historical German settlement in present-day Slovakia, since the small German minority of the lumberjacks/woodcutters (Slovak. Huncokári) has received little attention. The urgency of the need for research is also pointed out, since there are only very few speakers of this dialect left. The article therefore informs about some background of the settlement history, the present state and about approaches for ethnological field research.
In his tale „Der Wortmann“, the Transylvanian-German author Traugott Teutsch tells the story of Peter Emerich, an influent man in his community, who is keen on getting rich and climbing up the social ladder, while preserving the image of an honest person. The article follows through different stages the evolution of his mindset up to the point where he repents of his past actions, tries to make amends for some of his mistakes and decides to lead an unselfish life of faithful service to the community. Guilt, repentance and redemption are some of the main topics followed in this article, which constituted also some of the founding stones of the Transylvanian-German collective mentality.

Die Verdienste des Justus Georg Schottelius um die deutsche Sprache zu einer Zeit, wo die Fremdländersucht sie in die allerschlimmste Gefahr brachte, daran fast zu Grunde zu gehen und zum Gespötte des Auslandes zu werden, können gar nicht hoch genug angeschlagen werden, und nicht mit Unrecht hat man ihn den grössten Germanisten der Deutschen vor dem Erscheinen des Altmeisters Jacob Grimm genannt. Seine Verdienste um die deutsche Grammatik haben ihre Würdigung gefunden in einer Monographie von F. L. Koldewey unter dem Titel : Justus Georg Schottelius. Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der Germanistik. Wolfenbüttel 1899. Seine Totenklage, die hier aufs neue zum Abdruck kommt, ist einer der vielen Stossseufzer, durch die er als wahrer Patriot seinem bedrängten Herzen Luft zu machen suchte. Seine Verse mögen uns abgeschmackt vorkommen und hie und da ein Lächeln abgewinnen, aber wie man sich auch zu dem Ganzen stellen mag, der heilige Ernst, der aus jeder Zeile spricht, ist unverkennbar. Schottels Name verdient mit Recht in einem Zuge mit Wimpfeling und Lauremberg genannt zu werden, deren Namen aus jenen traurigen Tagen glänzend hervorleuchten und deren Begeisterung für alles Vaterländische nicht umhin konnte Anhänger zu werben und Nachfolge zu wecken. Das Original der Lamentatio befindet sich auf der Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel.
