Abstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the quality of access to translated fiction published between 2007 and 2011 in six large Canadian public libraries, answering the question about what public libraries can do to help acquaint their readers with international translated fiction. Design/methodology/approach – The article uses the method of bibliographic data analysis based on 2,100 catalog records. Findings – As the results demonstrate, enhanced bibliographic catalog records deliver a wealth of information about translated fiction titles and facilitate meaningful subject access to their contents. At the same time, promotional activities related to translated fiction have room for improvement. Practical implications – Despite the fact that the study focuses on public libraries, its findings will be of interest not only to public but also academic librarians, any librarian tasked with the selection and acquisition of translated fiction, reference and readers’ advisory librarians in any type of library, Library and Information Science students and anyone interested in access to translated fiction. Originality/value – While many recent studies have turned their attention to enhanced catalog records and their role in access, discovery and collection promotion, there are no studies dealing with translated fiction specifically. The article also contributes to seeing an in-depth understanding of bibliographic records and cataloging as part and parcel of reference librarians’ knowledge and skill set, which improves retrieval practices and access provision.

Abstract:
With this article, we seek to support the law of growing standardization by showing that texts translated into Belgian Dutch make more use of standard language than non-translated Belgian Dutch texts. Additionally, we want to examine whether the use of standard vs. non-standard language can be attributed to the variables text type and source language. In order to achieve that goal, we gathered a diverse set of linguistic variables and used a 10-million-word corpus that is parallel, comparable and bidirectional (the Dutch Parallel Corpus; Macken et al. 2011). The frequency counts for each of the variables are used to determine the differences in standard language use by means of profile-based correspondence analysis (Plevoets 2008). The results of our analysis show that (i) in general, there is indeed a standardizing trend among translations and (ii) text types with a lot of editorial control (fiction, non-fiction and journalistic texts) contain more standard language than the less edited text types (administrative texts and external communication) which adds support for the idea that the differences between translated and non-translated texts are text type dependent.

Abstract:
Abstract The translation of narrative fiction, unlike that of poetry and drama, has received little critical attention, because it has not been deemed distinctive enough to merit study in its own right. The purpose of the article is to define the literary-critical approach to evaluating translated fiction, first by showing its reverse, the language-oriented approach, and then closely analyzing three instances where it is deployed. Then attention will be focused on one problem area and it is seen that shifts on a micro-structural level can create an effect on macro-structural elements, producing changes significant enough to give rise to alternative interpretations of the text. With specific examples from variant Chinese translations of E.M. Forster's A Passage to India, William Golding's Lord of the Flies, John Fowles' The Collector, and J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, this article shows how the failure to "translate the narrator" belies in fact a failure to tune in to the literary qualities of a fictional text. To translate a novel adequately, one needs to take into account not just contextual meaning, but also "co-textual" or "inter-textual" meaning, the literary significance generated within the text itself. Résumé Contrairement à la traduction de poèmes et d'oeuvres dramatiques, la traduction des ouvrages de fiction narrative a moins été soumise à l'étude critique, parce qu'elle a toujours été considéréé comme une forme moins distinguée, méritant moins d'être étudiée en tant que telle. Le but du présent article est de définir une approche littéraire et critique permettant d'évaluer la traduction des oeuvres de fiction. L'article analyse en premier lieu une approche orientée vers le langage, et ensuite trois exemples qui concrétisent cette approche. L'attention du lecteur est attirée sur un passage à problèmes et ensuite, il découvrira que des glissements opérés au niveau micro-structurel sont susceptibles de produire un effet sur les éléments macro-structurels et d'entraîner par conséquent des altérations capables de donner lieu à différentes interprétations du texte. A l'aide d'exemples extraites de plusieurs traductions chinoises de A Passage to India (E.M. Forster), Lord of the Flies (William Golding), The Collector (John Fowles) et The Catcher in te Rye (J.D.Salinger), l'article tente de démontrer que l'incapacité du traducteur à "traduire le narrateur" n'est autre que son incapacité à se mettre au diapason des qualités littéraires du texte de fiction. Pour traduire correctement un roman, le traducteur ne peut pas uniquement tenir compte de la signification contextuelle mais aussi de la signification "co-textuelle" ou "inter-textuelle", c'est-à-dire de la signification littéraire engendrée par le texte lui-même.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper outlines the processes of censorship affecting translation under Nazi rule. Despite a markedly suspicious attitude towards translated fiction, the Nazi regime did not simply eliminate it. In fact, far from collapsing in 1933, the publication of translated fiction actually increased, both in absolute terms and as a proportion of all fiction, until the outbreak of war. However, if in purely quantitative terms translation flourished, the figures mask deep qualitative shifts: Jewish or anti-Nazi authors, translators and publishers disappeared; safe-selling genres came to dominate the market; and source-language preferences changed. These shifts were clearly the outcome of aggressive state measures, both classic “negative” censorship—the banning of literary producers and products or the imposition of “voluntary” self-regulation—and the energetic promotion of approved forms of translation. At the same time, more detailed study suggests that even for non-approved forms, the influence of state control was not always so clear-cut. In the case of the translated detective fiction of the time, censorship in translation was an amalgam of state intervention, pre-emptive filtering, selective readings of the source genre’s ambivalences, and the “normal” pressures of the book market. Even in this totalitarian context of extreme literary control, it remains difficult to define the borders of “translation censorship” as such.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this article is to make public librarians aware of the wealth of information about translators that is contained in bibliographic records of their own library catalogs so they could use this information for the benefit of readers’ advisory (RA) work involving translated titles. Design/methodology/approach – The article uses the method of bibliographic data analysis based on 350 selected translated fiction titles (and 2,100 corresponding catalog records) from six large Canadian public libraries. Findings – As the results demonstrate, enhanced bibliographic catalog records deliver a wide spectrum of information about translators, which can be used by public libraries to provide more informed and insightful reading advice and to make more sensible purchasing decisions with regard to translated fiction. Practical implications – The study shows how the most readily available tool – a library catalog with its enhanced bibliographic records – can be utilized by public librarians for improving RA practices. It focuses on the rarely discussed translated fiction, demonstrates a sample methodological approach and makes suggestions for implementing this approach by busy public librarians in real-life situations. Originality/value – No recent studies that have investigated enhanced catalog records have dealt with translated fiction. Moreover, while authors/writers are often in the focus of RA studies, translators are often left behind the scenes, despite their crucial role in bringing international fiction to English-speaking readers.

Abstract:
This paper explores the translational phenomenon of why so little of martial arts fiction has been translated into Western languages, compared to the copious amount into other Asian languages. Investigation into the translational migration of martial arts fiction demonstrates that the “normal” position assumed by translated literature tends to be a peripheral one. However, different patterns of behaviour can be observed, depending on the hegemonic relations between source and target cultures. In the West, martial arts fiction in English translation is being relegated to an extremely peripheral position. But martial arts fiction is able to make inroads into Asian countries, to the extent of stimulating a new literary form or (re)writing martial arts fiction in some indigenous languages.

Abstract:
There is a dramatic imbalance of cultural output in the global publishing industry. English-language publishers are disinclined to translate and publish foreign language books as a result of the popularity of English-language books and the high costs of translation. Three per cent is the oft-quoted number that indicates that foreign fiction in translation makes up only a minimal part of the UK book trade. This lack of bibliodiversity may have serious cultural consequences. There are thus several national and international initiatives to promote the publication and cultural capital of works in translation in order to reach a wider audience. Book prizes are generally understood to have a positive impact on the discoverability of a title and consequent sales; winning authors, as well as those on the longlist and shortlist of prestigious prizes, can expect a significant boost in sales of the books in question. But in a culture where translated foreign fiction titles represent only a small percentage of books published, does this phenomenon extend to prizes for translated foreign fiction? This paper explores the—audience-building and sales-generating—impact of the UK’s most prestigious award for literature in translation, the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize (IFFP), in particular in light of the prize’s recent merger with the Man Booker International Prize (MBIP), and speculates whether this may help with the ‘three per cent problem’.

Abstract:
AbstractKenneth L. Pike’s tagmemic explanation of his etic-emic equivalence corresponds to the notion of “approximate” translation. According to a weaker version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, Pike’s cross-cultural and multilingual perspective of Bible translation approximates the duality and triadicity of Peirce’s immediate/emotional, dynamical/energetic, and final/logical interpretants. Pike’s astronautical examples of the artificial language Kabala-X translated into English and the science fiction story of the Earthmen who invaded Mars are fictional and creative artifacts of human-alien cryptography leading, as argued here, to false semio-logical reasoning.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 209-215)<br>This thesis examines contemporary migration narratives by four African writers living in the diaspora and writing in English: Leila Aboulela and Jamal Mahjoub from the Sudan, now living in Scotland and Spain respectively and Abdulrazak Gurnah and Moyez G. Vassanji from Tanzania now residing in the UK and Canada. Focusing on how language operates in relation to both culture and identity, this study foregrounds the complexities of migration as cultural translation. Cultural translation is a concept which locates itself in postcolonial literary theory as well as translation studies. The manipulation of English in such a way as to signify translated experience is crucial in this regard. The thesis focuses on a particular angle on cultural translation for each writer under discussion: translation of Islam and the strategic use of nostalgia in Leila Aboulela's texts; translation and the production of scholarly knowledge in Jamal Mahjoub's novels; translation and storytelling in Abdulrazak Gurnah's fiction; and finally translation between the individual and old and new communities in Vassanji's work. The conclusion of the thesis brings all four writer's texts into conversation across these angles. What emerges from this discussion across the chapter boundaries is that cultural translation rests on ongoing complex processes of transformation determined by idiosyncratic factors like individual personality as well as social categories like nationality, race, class and gender. The thesis thus contributes to the understanding of migration as a common condition of the postcolonial world as well as offering a detailed look at particular travellers and their unique journeys.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis analyzes discourses of identity construction in the production and consumption of translated fiction in the contemporary British book culture. Drawing from ethnographic methods, it investigates what middle class, engaged readers make out of the translated novels they read, particularly in the ways that these books have been produced and marketed to them. The study concludes that translated fiction illustrates the multilayered meaning structures regarding taste and identity in reading communities and in the publishing industry in contemporary Britain. The theoretical framework of the thesis is based on sociological and anthropological studies on identity, intercultural communication and the consumption of art, alongside theories of reading and literary exchange from literary studies and translation studies. Data for the analysis on reading has been collected through participant observation/focus groups at over 30 book group meetings. Research methods also include interviews with individual readers and publishing industry professionals. Analysis of reading communities concentrates on responses to translated novels as texts that have undergone linguistic transference and as stories that portray other cultures. These responses are contextualized with the value orientations that arise from current trends of cultural consumption in the UK, such as monolingualism, cosmopolitanism and omnivorousness. The thesis also includes a case study on Turkish literature, exploring recent trends in literary production and the cultural role of literary translators. The study reveals the complex inflections of taste and identity in the practices of the agents of print culture. The textual-linguistic dimensions of translated texts are often the subject of negative evaluations when readers do not recognize the agency of the literary translator as an artist. Moreover, the opportunity of cultural encounter enabled by the reading experience activates varying discourses of intercultural communication, depending on readers’ cultural capital, their level of commitment to cosmopolitanism and the orientation of the book group’s discussion. In the production and consumption of translated fiction, the tension that arises between the pleasure and distinction dimensions of literary products translates into dilemmas between exoticism and cosmopolitan egalitarianism.

Full text
Abstract:
The present research aims to investigate, using corpus-based methods, the phenomenon of simplification in translated, compared to non-translated, Chinese texts. Simplification in translation can be manifested in the following three levels: translated texts tend to display a shorter average sentence length, draw on a more restricted vocabulary and contain a lower information load, than non-translated texts in the same language. The manifestations may be quantified through corpus-based methods of comparative analysis, measuring: 1) mean sentence length; 2) lexical variety with type/token ratio, percentage of high frequency words and percentage of list heads; and 3) information load with lexical density. A corpus of modem Chinese mystery fiction (CCCM) has been compiled especially for the purpose of the current project, with two subcorpora of translated and non-translated mystery fiction.

Full text
Abstract:
Suspense as represented in translated fiction is an under-researched field. To date, there appear to be no published studies of suspense in translated versions of detective fiction. This thesis aims to examine how suspense is re-created or re-presented in translation into Chinese, and whether and how the translation changes the sense of suspense. The investigation is based on an exploratory comparative textual study of three recent Chinese translations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles, one of Sherlock Holmes’ most renowned cases. The thesis adopts Iwata’s (2008) model of suspense as the theoretical framework and modifies it to better identify the suspense as conveyed in the source text and the three translations. Van Leuven-Zwart’s (1989) transeme model is used to examine semantic shifts in the three Chinese translations to determine how suspense is re-created and affected in the target texts. The findings suggest that all three translators have shown inconsistency when tackling suspenseful conditions as various shifts are detected in each translation. The translators choose to make no shift or a certain degree of semantic shift each time, based on their own understanding and interpretation of the selected text, leading to divergent re-creation of suspense. The thesis identifies potential contributors to translation of suspense which may impact on future research and practice. The data presented here relate to Chinese translation, but may be applied to other language pairs.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the thematic desire to establish an ecological human bond with nature in four contemporary novels: The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje, The Hungry Tide by Amitav Ghosh, An Imaginary Life by David Malouf, and The Expedition to The Baobab Tree by Wilma Stockenström. These authors share a concern with the influence that language has on human perception, and one of the most significant ways they attempt to connect with the natural world is through somehow escaping, or transcending, what they perceive to be the divisive tendencies of language. They all suggest that human perception is not steered entirely by a disembodied mind, which constructs reality through linguistic and cultural lenses, but is equally influenced by physical circumstances and embodied experiences. They explore the potential of corporeal reciprocity and empathy as that which enables understanding across cultural barriers, and a sense of ecologically intertwined kinship with nature. They all struggle to reconcile their awareness of the potential danger of relating to nature exclusively through language, with a desire to speak for the natural world in literature. I have examined whether they succeed in doing so, or whether they contradict their thematic suspicion of language with their literary medium. I have prioritised a close ecocritical reading of the novels and loosely situated the authors’ approach to nature and language within the broad theoretical frameworks of radical ecology, structuralism and poststructuralism. I suggest that these novels are best analysed in the context of an ecocritical mediation between poststructuralist conceptions of nature as inaccessible cultural construct, and the naïve conception of unmediated, pre-reflective interaction with the natural world. I draw especially on the phenomenological theories of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, whose insistence that perception is always both embodied and culturally mediated truly renders culture and nature irreducible, intertwined categories. By challenging historical dualisms like mind/body and culture/nature, the selected novels suggest a more fluid and discursive understanding of the perceived conflict between language and nature, whilst problematizing the perception of language as merely a cultural artefact. Moreover, they are examples of the kind of literature that has the potential to positively influence our human conception of nature, and adapt us better to our ecological context on a planet struggling for survival.

Abstract:
Cette thèse combine l’approche des études cognitives et culturelles ainsi que de la traductologie afin d’examiner l’écriture, l’édition, la traduction et la réception internationale des romans policiers interculturels, en prenant comme modèle deux romans qui se déroulent en Nouvelle-Zélande par le romancier français Caryl Férey, Haka (1998) et Utu (2004). Nous situons d’abord Férey par rapport aux polars français du pacifique sud et aux polars néo-zélandais, et nous montrons que ses livres en diffèrent de façon significative, surtout à cause de son choix d’écrire de l’intérieur de la Nouvelle-Zélande et de la culture maorie. Dans une étude de cas qualitative fondée sur des interviews, nous situons Férey vis-à-vis de ses éditeurs et de ses lecteurs et nous identifions des thèmes récurrents dans son écriture avant d’identifier et d’analyser son emprunt à d'autres textes. Puis, au moyen d’une analyse de la traduction américaine d’Utu (2011), nous soutenons que certains choix culturels ont pour effet d’aliéner les lecteurs néo-zélandais, tandis que les choix linguistiques suggèrent que ceux qui lisent le texte en anglais ont moins l’opportunité de se sentir proche du texte sur les plans intellectuel et émotionnel. Mon analyse de la réception de ces œuvres, la première étude empirique longitudinale et interculturelle de l’influence d’un roman entier sur les opinions (culturelles) des lecteurs, montre que l’information fictionnelle est absorbée par les lecteurs et se mêle aux opinions et aux croyances portant sur une culture.

I first situate Férey against corpus norms of South Pacific french crime fiction and of New Zealand crime fiction and show that he differs in significant ways, not least in his choice to write from within New Zealand and Māori culture. In an interview-based qualitative case study situating Férey alongside his publishers and his readers, I identify recurring themes in his writing before identifying and analysing his borrowing from other texts. In analysing the american english translation of Utu (2011), I then argue that cultural choices alienate New Zealand readers, while linguistic choices mean readers in english have less opportunity to connect intellectually and emotionally with the text. My reader reception study, which is the first empirical, longitudinal, cross-cultural, novel-length reception study of the influence of a text on readers’ (cultural) opinions, shows with statistical significance that fictional information is absorbed into factual beliefs and opinions about a culture. I use approaches from cognitive literary studies to illuminate both the writing and reading of cross-cultural and crime fiction

Abstract:
This study focuses on and tries to identify areas where machine translation can be useful by examining translated fictional and non-fictional texts, and the extent to which these different text types are better or worse suited for machine translation.  It additionally evaluates the performance of the free online translation tool Google Translate (GT). The BLEU automatic evaluation metric for machine translation was used for this study, giving a score of 27.75 BLEU value for fictional texts and 32.16 for the non-fictional texts. The non-fictional texts are samples of law documents, (commercial) company reports, social science texts (religion, welfare, astronomy) and medicine. These texts were selected because of their degree of difficulty. The non-fictional sentences are longer than those of the fictional texts and in this regard MT systems have struggled. In spite of having longer sentences, the non-fictional texts got a higher BLUE score than the fictional ones. It is speculated that one reason for the higher score of non-fictional texts might be that more specific terminology is used in these texts, leaving less room for subjective interpretation than for the fictional texts. There are other levels of meaning at work in the fictional texts that the human translator needs to capture.
