The writer Lion Feuchtwanger makes an appeal against World War I with two dramatic adaptations of ancient texts: 'Die Perser des Aischylos' ('Aeschylus' Persians'), and – based on two works by Aristophanes – 'Friede' (‘Peace’). Feuchtwanger uses metaphors in various parts of these plays to express emotions concerning the war (across the spectrum of human emotions). These metaphors function as instruments for reinforcing the intended criticism of war in both works.
Rezension zu Geert Brône u. Jeroen Vandaele (Hg.): Cognitive Poetics. Goals, Gains and Gaps. Edited by. Berlin, New York (Mouton de Gruyter). 561 S.
Der von Geert Brône (Leuven) und Jeroen Vandaele (Oslo) herausgegebene Band zeigt auf einem sehr hohen und sachkundigen Niveau, an welchen Stellen tatsächlich Skepsis angebracht ist, aber zugleich auch, dass es sich bei den 'Cognitive Poetics' um ein außerordentlich vielfältiges, interdisziplinäres und forderndes Gebiet handelt.
Nazım Hikmet’s fairy tale “Cloud in Love” (Sevdalı Bulut) enjoys a world-wide popularity: It has been already translated into many languages, has been filmed and staged several times. This even confirms the thesis of the poet that the fairy tale would appeal to every nation, every age and every cultural level. This article aims to examine Hikmet’s fairy tales under the aspect of the interculturality in his intersemiotic and interlingual translations. First, Hikmet’s perception of fairy tales will be studied, from which some clues are to be gained about the translations of his work. Afterwards, examples from intersemiotic translations of this fairy tale will be indicated. Finally, the German translation of this work will be analyzed, taking into account the transmission of cultural and stylistic elements.
