Leo Tak-hung Chan. Western Theory in East Asian Contexts
No full textIn the field of translation studies there are still several ongoing debates about the meaning of translation itself and its role in crossing different cultural spheres. In particular, despite various forms of translation being practiced among different languages, there has been little contribution in English that devotes scholarly attention to practices of translation outside the anglophone world.
Inserting itself in the broader discussion about the categorization of texts as translations, adaptations, or imitations, Leo Tak-hung Chan’s book Western Theory in East Asian Contexts. Translation and Transtextual Rewriting (2020) proves to be an essential addition to the ongoing debates. In particular, focusing on examples of the abovementioned practices in the cultural exchanges between China and Japan allows for an important new perspective in the field. The book aims at re-evaluating non-western practices of adaptation and imitation – often overlooked by critics in the western context – and tries to put them in conversation with such practices and theories in the West

Ktētōr and Synthesis: Epigrams, Miniatures, and Authorship in the Leo Bible
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2014The Leo Bible (Rome, Vat. Reg. Gr. 1) is an illuminated Old Testament produced in Byzantium during the mid-tenth century. Presented as a gift to a monastery of St. Nicholas by Leo Sakellarios, a court eunuch and palace treasurer, the Bible is the only surviving manuscript of its kind from Byzantium. Known for its luxurious epigrams and miniatures, the Leo Bible's classicizing miniatures are frequently cited as exemplars of tenth-century Byzantine art, although the manuscript is rarely considered as whole. This study takes a new approach to the Leo Bible, focusing on the manuscript as a work of visual and poetic exegesis, in which word and image work together to frame the Old Testament in a Christian context. Beyond its exegetical nature, the Leo Bible also demonstrates a marked interest in the theme of authorship. By considering Byzantine notions of authorship in conjunction with the Bible's visual and epigrammatic program, this study offers new insights into the concept of patronage in Byzantium and the means by which patrons constructed their image and legacy through their commissions. In the case of the Leo Bible, this study will address how Leo Sakellarios is understood to be the author of the manuscript and its exegetical commentary, and how this act of authorship is reflected in the Bible's visual and poetic programs
L’attualizzazione dei modelli letterari in «Zwischen neun und neun» (1918) di Leo Perutz: The actualization of literary models in «Zwischen neun und neun» (1918) by Leo Perutz
No full textThis article analyses the relation between Leo Perutz’s novel Zwischen neun und neun (1918) and the poetics and works of several German-speaking authors who can be considered Perutz’s literary role models. In chronological order, consideration will be given to the enigmatic, paradoxical situations characterising Heinrich von Kleist’s works, to E.T.A. Hoffmann’s serapiontisches Prinzip, irony and humour, and to Arthur Schnitzler’s narratological techniques and the resignation of his characters. The comparison with these models will demonstrate how the novel relates to the tradition of German literature, in what manner it surpasses it and which elements enable its correlation with modernism
Čechov autore per bambini? Note su Kaštanka in Italia. Traduzioni, riscritture, adattamenti
No full textThe article looks into the Italian versions of Kashtanka by Anton Chekhov,
which he defined “a tale for children”, one of the few examples in his literary
production aimed to a young audience. During the XX century in Italy the book
had a huge success and was translated and published more than 10 times. The
first part of the article briefly introduces the historical context of the text, its role
in Chekhov’s production, and discusses the possibility to consider Chekhov a
writer for children. The second part deals with the translations, rewritings and
adaptations of the short story into Italian; attention is paid to the translation of
the proper names and to some lexical and syntactical observations about the first
lines of the tale. Some brief reflections are presented also about the illustrations
and other paratextual elements of the books. The author draws some conclusions about the reasons for Kashtanka’s success in Italy in the broader context of Russian children’s literature translated into Italian throughout the previous century
