La literatura intercultural i la seua traducció: anàlisi i traducció de 1000 Serpentinen Angst, d’Olivia Wenzel
No full textTreball de Final de Grau en Traducció i Interpretació. Codi: TI0983. Curs acadèmic 2022/2023El fenomen de la literatura intercultural s'ha convertit en un tema de gran interés investigador en els nostres
dies. Aquesta literatura, que es podria definir com aquella produïda per autors i autores en una llengua
diferent de la seua llengua materna (sovint, per motius de migració), compta amb exemples paradigmàtics
dins del marc europeu, com és el cas de la literatura intercultural en llengua alemanya. Tanmateix,
observem com aquesta també ha sorgit en el si de llengües més restringides territorialment i amb un menor
nombre de parlants, com és el cas de la llengua catalana. Aquest treball s’interessa per la situació d'aquests
dos exemples de literatura intercultural en relació amb el cànon nacional corresponent i tracta d'arreplegar
informació sobre les repercussions que les particularitats d'aquest tipus de literatura poden tindre sobre la
seua traducció.
Per trobar-hi respostes, s'ha traduït un fragment d'una novel·la contemporània de la literatura intercultural
en llengua alemanya al català. La novel·la triada, 1000 Serpentinen Angst, de l'autora alemanya amb
orígens zambians Olivia Wenzel, conta les vivències –en part autobiogràfiques– d'una dona negra nascuda
a l'Alemanya oriental que s'enfronta a situacions racistes tant als Estats Units com a Alemanya. La
traducció es basa en un encàrrec de traducció fictici sobre el qual s'ha dut a terme una anàlisi pretranslativa,
seguint el model de Christiane Nord, per a enfocar la traducció. De forma paral·lela a la traducció, s'ha
elaborat una anàlisi traductològica per a mostrar amb més claredat les característiques d'aquest tipus de
text i les possibles estratègies de traducció que es poden seguir. Tot i que caldria un estudi en profunditat
al respecte, els resultats suggereixen que la literatura intercultural podria ser un fenomen en expansió. A
més a més, l'experiència arreplegada amb la traducció indica que l'adopció d'una estratègia estrangeritzant
pot ajudar a mantenir les particularitats culturals i lingüístiques del text base, que són especialment
importants en aquest tipus de literatura
Slippery Wenzel State
No full textEnhancing the mobility of liquid droplets on rough surfaces is of great interest in industry, with applications ranging from condensation heat transfer to water harvesting to the prevention of icing and frosting. The mobility of a liquid droplet on a rough solid surface has long been associated with its wetting state. When liquid drops are sitting on the top of the solid textures and air is trapped underneath, they are in the Cassie state. When the drops impregnate the solid textures, they are in the Wenzel state. While the Cassie state has long been associated with high droplet mobility and the Wenzel state with droplet pinning, our work challenges this existing convention by showing that <i>both</i> Cassie <i>and</i> Wenzel state droplets can be highly mobile on nanotexture-enabled slippery rough surfaces. Our surfaces were developed by engineering hierachical nano- and microscale textures and infusing liquid lubricant into the nanotextures alone to create a highly slippery rough surface. We have shown that droplet mobility can be maintained even after the Cassie-to-Wenzel transition. Moreover, the discovery of the slippery Wenzel state allows us to assess the fundamental limits of the classical and recent Wenzel models at the highest experimental precision to date, which could not be achieved by any other conventional rough surface. Our results show that the classical Wenzel eq (1936) cannot predict the wetting behaviors of highly wetting liquids in the Wenzel state

Ideology, constitutional culture and institutional change: the EU constitution as reflection of Europe’s emergent postmodernism
No full textUsing the example of the European Constitution, this paper argues that ideology plays a much more important role in institutional change than has been indicated hitherto in the literature. Rather than being an intellectual parlor-game, Postmodernism has emerged through European high culture to find its voice in the new Constitution. Although it was rejected by a critical mass of voters, the proposed Constitution offers a telling glimpse into the European intellectual mindset – especially since politicians are now bruiting the possibility of ratifying the constitution via compliant legislatures rather than fickle referenda. Anomalies in the document are better explained by the post-World War Two emergence of postmodern philosophy in Europe than by more traditional explanations from political economy.European constitution, postmodernism, political economy, institutional change
Translating culture: Matthee’s <i>Kringe in ’n bos</i> as a case in point
No full textThe translation of “cultural identity” in a novel such as “Kringe in ’n bos” contributes towards the definition of a uniquely South African representation of time and space in the global context. When translation is studied as a product of its socio-historical context, the translator is faced with problems of translating ideology and cultural identity in literature. Realia constitute a particular challenge to the translator because, according to the definition, precise equivalents of these words do not exist in other languages, which could cause shifts in the target language text. This article considers the concept of translatability and concludes that, despite the problems encountered, an adequate and satisfactory German translation from the Afrikaans original should be possible.
The question of translatability assumes an interesting dimension as the Afrikaans novel was translated into English by the author herself. The privileged position of author-translator granted Matthee a near-perfect understanding of the different layers of meaning and intention of the source text and eliminated the gap between the author and translator. However, one gains the impression that the German translator (Stege) resorted to transference as a strategy to avoid translation and it emerges that most instances of definite mistranslations are, indeed, attributable to Stege’s unfamiliarity with the South African context
