Within this strand, Pascale Casanova (2002) takes Bourdieu’s theory and terminology as a starting point to present an outline of a typology of literary translators. In what ways does this typology help to investigate the translation of the marginal, uneconomical genre of poetry, moreover, in the transfer from a peripheral language (Czech) to a central language (German) during the Cold War? What is specific to translators of Czech poetry into German and what conclusions can be drawn from this? From which perspective is it useful to create a typology of translators, and which blind spots leaves such a structuring, disregarding the dynamics of development over a longer time frame?
To gain an insight an analysis of socio-biographical data (socio-biography, cf. Roig-Sanz/Meylaerts 2018) on the Czech-German poetry translators active in this period, such as their cultural origin, education, activities outside translation, language proficiency, mode of translation (directly or indirectly), and since their activities take place during the Cold War, their geographical location (working East or West of the so-called Iron curtain) as well as the status of their translated authors in Czechoslovakia (were they able to publish or were they censored).
Characterising these translators against the background of existing types adds several factors to the existing pattern, showing specifics of translators of a non-economical genre (poetry) from a peripheral to a central language and across the Iron curtain. Establishing such a typology however shows the problematics of capturing the development of individual socio-biographies and the dynamics of the cultures in which they operate.Pracoviště Ústav pro českou literaturu Kontakt Pavla Hartmanová, hartmanova@ucl.cas.cz ; Veronika Zemanová, zemanova@ucl.cas.cz, asep@ucl.cas.cz, Tel.: 222 828 135 Rok sběru 2023
