Tradurre il genere. Madame Intuita di Izabela Filipiak
Full text linkTranslating gender: Madame Intuita by Izabela Filipiak – Based on camp aesthetics, masquerade, irony
and intertextuality, the poetry volume Madame Intuita (2002) by the Polish writer Izabela Filipiak
aims to dismantle gender stereotypes and patriarchal linguistic codes. When translating her poems,
both grammatical and social gender issues should be taken into due account. In the paper, the author
analyses his own Italian translation of Filipiak’s poems (published in 2007) to explain the strategies
used to preserve gender elusiveness, gender specification, and gender fluidity, as they play a key role
in the writer’s poetic imaginary
Le funzioni onomastiche nella traduzione della letteratura fantasy. La saga di Geralt di Rivia di Andrzej Sapkowski
No full textThis paper attempts to single out the changes that occur in onomastic
functions when a literary name is translated to the target language. After introducing
the main functions outlined by Polish scholars and presenting the specificity of
the onomasticon in the fantasy genre, the author describes the main changes that
onomastic functions undergo in the Italian version of Sapkowski’s fantasy saga:
preservation, loss, addition, alteration, accumulation, substitution
La rusałka è un’ondina? Sulla traduzione italiana dei nomi delle creature fantastiche in Andrzej Sapkowski
Full text linkIs the rusalka an undine? On the Italian translation of the names of fantastic creatures in Andrzej Sapkowski’s works.
The paper aims at analysing the techniques used in the rendition of the names of supernatural, mythological, and fantastic creatures in the Italian translation of The Witcher saga by Andrzej Sapkowski. After presenting the role played by different classes of names in the creation of an imaginary world based on intertextual procedures, the author identifies eight recurring techniques: borrowing, calque, recognised translation, generalisation, normalisation, lexical recreation, substitution, and omission. The paper shows that though the translation of Sapkowski’s series combines a foreignising and domesticating approach, naturalisation prevails in the rendition of Slavic elements, supplying the reader with a more “international” setting derived from a wide use of replacements and hypernyms
Polonistica e studi di genere : intersezioni, contaminazioni, incroci di saperi
No full textThe article aims at presenting the emergence, the evolution and the most recent trends in Gender and Queer Studies in Poland, paying specific attention to their impact on research in Polish literature. The author shows how gender-related theories started to be widespread in Poland only after the sociocultural changes that occurred in 1989. During the first half of the 90s, groundbreaking writings of Anglo-American scholars were translated into Polish, while key concepts and ideas begun to be disseminated. In the meantime, a debate on their applicability to the reality of a post-communist country took place. In the second half of the 90s started to be published the first
monographs that tried to reinterpret Polish women writers from a feminist and a gender-sensitive point of view. Meanwhile, Gender Studies programs were established in many Polish universities. In the new millennium, gender binarisms and essentialist conceptions begun to be criticized and subsequently deconstructed, while Polish scholars increasingly focused on queer and until then marginalized topics and authors. At present, Gender and Queer Studies in Poland show an eclectic, intersectional and multifaceted nature, mainly due to such factors as their belated reception, their dissemination together with other theories and methodologies, their rethinking and reworking carried out by Polish scholars, the interplay with other branches of knowledge. Providing new instruments, conceptions, and approaches, Gender and Queer Studies have proven to be an essential instrument to reread Polish literature in a new light. Furthermore, they are part of a wider process of reevaluation of the role of ‘minoritarian’ subjects (women, Jews, LGBT+, non-Polish authors) in the creation of the national literary canon
O kwestii oryginału, przekładu autorskiego i adaptacji. Wokół polskiej i angielskiej wersji Antygony w Nowym Jorku Janusza Głowackiego
Full text linkJanusz Głowacki’s internationally acclaimed tragicomedy inspired by Sophocles’ Antigone has been the subject of intense debate and misinterpretations. The article aims to demonstrate that the play was primarily written in Polish, and that the English version is an adaptation/rewriting made by the author in collaboration with the American screenwriter Joan Torres. Furthermore, it shows that the English version was created while the writing of the Polish text was still in progress, so that the former influenced and left clear traces in the latter, questioning the traditional hierarchy between the original and the translated or adapted text.Janusz Głowacki’s internationally acclaimed tragicomedy inspired by Sophocles’ Antigone has been the subject of intense debate and misinterpretations.

Hanna Ratuszna, Trwam, jestem, czuję cudnej zgody sprzeczność. O twórczości Maryli Czerkawskiej, Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika, Toruń 2014
Full text linkLa rivisitazione del paganesimo slavo nelle scrittrici fantasy polacche
Full text linkThe article aims at investigating the gynocentric reinvention of Slavic paganism in Polish fantasy fiction by women authors. Such a phenomenon derives from the intersection of two trends that have taken place in Poland during the last decades: the femininization of fantasy fiction and the revival of Slavic myths as a source of literary inspiration. The historical fantasy subgenre, in which fictitious versions of the Middle Ages are combined with folkloric elements, is particularly productive. Writers such as Małgorzata Saramonowicz, Joanna Żamejć and Elżbieta Cherezińska describe the clash between the advent of Christianity and an imagined Slavic paganism, in which women are able to control nature and magic. The analysis of their works shows how women authors rewrite national history to incorporate new visions of femininity into commercial and genre fiction
