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.

(2015)

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 argument that worldwide globalization will lead to a cultural homogenization is rarely acceptable for literary translation. German authors are still translated into Turkish, and the classics are retranslated. In view of Translation Studies, retranslations are very interesting because for being justified they are required to be superior to previous translation(s). This challenge is especially immense if it is the translation of an author like Heinrich von Kleist, whose narrative language is not only well-known but also exceptional. The aim of this study is to analyze the individual strategies of the Turkish translators and to demonstrate on examples whether they had been successful on their aim to satisfy Kleist’s specific literary style. The study is done on the example of the novella “Die Marquise von O...” (1808). For the analysis, the translations of Melâhat Togar (1952), Alev Yalnız (1992) and Ayalp Talun İnce (2004) are examined with regard to their distinctive strengths and weaknesses.
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.
