Why do we translate? From agency to the reception of the translation
In Volume 9, Part 2, is devoted to the broadly understood problem of the purpose of translation and is a continuation of the previous issue. The collected works consider the problem of the agency of the main actors of translation (as translators and authors), the role of the various institutions in the process of translation, the question of the reception of the translated works, as well as the purpose of translation in the context of regionalism and multiculturalism. The issue has been divided into three problem parts. The first one is devoted to the institutional and receptive dimensions of translation (Anna Majkiewicz, Anita Gostomska, Regina Solová). The second part gathers articles devoted to two interpenetrating complexes of problems – the phenomena of regionalism and multiculturalism considered in the context of translation (Karolina Pospiszil, Hanna Makurat-Snuzik, Silvija Borovnik, Jakob Altmann). Finally, the third part of the presented volume is devoted to the author who influences the text of the translation in various ways: leaving traces of his presence and activity in the original text, formulating his own “translation theory”, and finally, becoming an interpreter of his own work (Wojciech Soliński, Joanna Derdowska, AleksanderGomola, Amela Ljevo-Ovčina). The authors of the articles collected in this issue are translation researchers from Poland and abroad, and the works deal with translations of both Slavonic and non-Slavonic literatures within various languages and ethnolects (i.e. English, Croatian, Czech, French, German, Polish, Slovenian, Silesian, Kashubian). Furthermore, issue 9.2 of the journal „Translations of Slavic Literatures” is dedicated to literary and translation theorists, as well as comparatists (scientists, critics, students).
