A STUDY OF POSTMODERN LITERATURE IN TRANSLATION AS ILLUSTRATED THROUGH THE SELECTED WORKS OF THOMAS PYNCHON
(2015-05-13) Barciński, Łukasz
The subject of the thesis is the analysis of the specificity of postmodern literature as illustrated through the Polish translation of novels by Thomas Pynchon. In order to find the most precise research tool for the analysis of such a complicated research subject, the thesis applies interdisciplinary approach combining the achievements of various disciplines such as: translation studies – foreignisation/domestication (Venuti), literary studies – polyphonicity (Bachtin), intertextuality (Kristeva), plasir/jouissance (Barthes), defamiliarisation/ostranenie (Shklovsky), philosophy – dissemination (Derrida), rhizomaticity (Deleuze, Guattari), psychoanalysis (Lacan), linguistics and information theory (Shannon). The practical analysis examines to what extent entanglements of textual signification (called rhizomes, a term introduced by Deleuze and Guattari) have been recreated in the Polish rendition by analysing the extent of the recreation of defamiliarisation. Foreignisation was recognized to be the adequate translation strategy to recreate the extent of defamiliarisation (which is relatively high in postmodern texts). The term entropy, derived from information theory, was applied to determine the extent of the recreation of defamiliarisation in the translation product i.e. the translated works by Thomas Pynchon.
Canon Disputed. Polish Religious Poetry in English Translations by Adam Czerniawski
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2024-12) Luboń, Arkadiusz
The aim of the article is to analyse and discuss Polish religious poems represented and promoted in Anglo-Saxon culture by the anthology Moved by the Spirit by Adam Czerniawski. This émigré poet and translator not only composed his anthologies guided by a set of unique criteria and individual literary standards but also – following his idea of translation developed in essays and theoretical manifestos – chose texts and introduced semantic shifts according to the philosophy of poetry he discussed in numerous journal articles. Thus, the volume by Czerniawski provides the anglophone reader with an image of Polish religious verses significantly influenced by the anthologist’s individuality and, as a result, considerably different from the pattern most popular in Poland and traditionally copied by the majority of Polish editors of such publications.

„L’eco di un cuore altrui”. Poezja Ewy Lipskiej we Włoszech
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Ślarzyńska, Małgorzata
The article focuses on the critical reception of Ewa Lipska’s poetry in Italy. It takes into consideration the volumes translated by Marina Ciccarini (2013, 2017), Paolo Statuti (2014), as well as the translated poems that appeared in literary magazines (Marco Bruno, 2019). The analyzed material includes the commentaries on Lipska by Italian literary critics published in newspapers and on the Internet. The article presents how the previously translated Wisława Szymborska’s poetry and its success in Italy has influenced the way in which Lipska is perceived in critical reception. The analysis takes into consideration also editorial factors such as the role of the publisher in the diffusion and perception of foreign poetry.
Zagraniczne istnienie literatury polskiej
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Pasterska, Jolanta; Luboń, Arkadiusz; Wyrembelski, Marcin
Interest in reception of Polish literature translated into foreign languages has increased in recent years among not only academic researchers but also publishers, literary critics and readers as well. Both successes of contemporary Polish writers abroad and the endeavors of cultural institutions aimed at promotion of Polish literature in other countries inspire discussions centered on the issue of selection and adaptation of the most representative, unique and/or attractive for foreign readers texts, originally written in Polish. The tenth issue of „Tematy i Konteksty” also addresses these questions, collecting papers focused, among others, on modern translator’s cultural role and status, standard or unconventional techniques and methods applied in literary translation, particular transfers of various artistic texts from Polish into other languages and modes of their reception within target cultures. Articles collected in the volume answer numerous questions related, for instance, to the ways in which foreign readers respond to writings by Polish authors or to the fields of discourse texts of Polish origin enter as an effect of the set of translational transformations. These transformations result from a variety of factors, such as translator’s idea of equivalence, his/her professional and social position, editorial strategies or even detailed choices of lexical items crucial for the preconceived meaning of the text. The articles discussing and analyzing such issues unveil the secret of supralocal successes of certain Polish writers and clearly indicate the importance of translator’s work for their achievements.
