\"\"<\/a>Selected Chapters from the Theory and Practice of Translation in the Humanities and Social Sciences contribute to systematic research in the field in Slovakia. In their individual chapters, the authors address problematic and under-researched topics in this area, from its broadest context (reflections on its basic concepts, function, and place; historical publishing context; terminological context) through the transformation of theoretical questions into translation practice or research (intercultural transfer of thinking in literary studies, and also of proper names; the use of discourse analysis in translation studies) to reception contexts (translations of Ancient Greek and Roman literature, non-fiction works by U. Eco, and Russian religious philosophy in the Slovak environment). As a valuable source of information, unavailable elsewhere, and of inspiration for further study or research, the book is intended particularly for university teachers and students of translation studies and philology in general, as well as philosophy, history, and social sciences, for researchers in these fields, especially translation scholars, and for translators.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The accelerated development and application of new biotechnologies confront us with new life situations and moral dilemmas, for the solution of which we often lack adequate interpretational models. In many cases, the principles of traditional normative ethics are insufficient to address new, emerging problems, which prompts the exploration of other suitable methodological approaches. The authors of this book focus on exploring the relationships between literature and bioethics and reveal their extraordinary potential to foster critical thinking, moral action, and the formation of visions for the development of society. They not only examine how literature reflects and addresses bioethical dilemmas, but also analyze how the literary treatment of these dilemmas and the anticipation of their possible solutions can help shape, refine, and deepen the bioethical discourse. The individual studies in this volume confirm that the development of narrative skills is becoming an important part of a broader bioethical reflection which can strengthen the moral competencies needed to solve complex moral issues.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The period of Late Antiquity is an important milestone in the development of what we now call autobiographical writing. For the first time, a genealogical lineage can be reconstructed between forms of self-expression whose authors became increasingly aware of the distinction between the act of remembering and the act of writing. The book focuses on the literary works of Gregory of Nazianzus (329\/330 – 389\/390), the Cappadocian theologian and poet who is believed to have produced the first large-scale corpus of autobiographical poetry (nearly 7,000 verses) in Europe. The individual chapters address a range of issues related to self-representation in Late Antiquity: the methods of reflecting reality in art, the theological and philosophical frameworks of self-perception, poetic imagery and topoi. They also discuss Gregory\u2019s oscillation between sincerity and didacticism, in line with the ancient conception of the individual as inseparable from society. The heart of the book, however, is the complete translation of Gregory\u2019s autobiographical poetry as it appears in the 37th<\/sup> volume of Jacques-Paul Migne\u2019s Patrologia Graeca<\/em> (1857) and in more recent critical editions. The poems, rendered in a syllabotonic imitation of classical metres, are accompanied by indexes and extensive footnotes. The reader can thus enjoy an unconventional portrait of a saint who dared to combine lyrical lamentation with irony and even sarcasm.<\/p>\n

The publication by R\u00f3bert G\u00e1frik received the Matej Bel Award in the category of scientific and academic translation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The earliest Upanishads (circa 8th \u2013 5th century BCE) are among the oldest surviving philosophical texts in the world. The subject of the Upanishadic philosophy is self-knowledge, i. e., knowledge of one\u02bcs own nature, which they call Atma or Brahma. The Upanishads form the basis of many Indian philosophical and religious systems. Their ideas have greatly influenced the cultural life of South and Southeast Asia. They form important reference texts of various spiritual traditions, but they are also analyzed and interpreted in the academia. Although they were composed very long time ago, their ideas are not necessarily alien to modern people. Their way of presentation is exceptional. They are interesting in their language and style, which retains some of its charm even in translations into modern languages. Traditionally, ten Upanishads are considered to be the principal Upanishads: Isha, Kena, Katha, Prasna, Mundaka, Mandukya, Taittiriya, Aitareya, Chandogya, and Brhadaranyaka. The publication presents the translation of these ten Upanishads. The Upanishads can be translated by adopting one of the available traditional Indian interpretations, or by following the historical-philological method which aims at a scholarly translation that reconstructs their supposed original meaning. The present Slovak translation follows Sankara\u02bcs interpretation of the Upanishads. Sankara (circa 7th century CE) is one of the most important representatives of Indian philosophy. His work has profoundly marked its further development. The philosophy of Advaitavedanta, which he advocated in his commentaries, is still a living school of philosophy today. His teaching can be summarized as follows: There is only one reality called Brahma or Atma. It is pure being and consciousness. The diversity of the universe and of the living beings who inhabit it arises from ignorance. Ignorance is the superimposition of what is not real on what is real and vice versa. One who gets rid of ignorance attains permanent peace and immortality. Sankara also argues that the Upanishads employ an extraordinary method of deliberately superimposing qualities and symbols to Brahma and then negating them. With these insights, Sankara explains the Upanishads, appealing to universal human experience and arguing with the philosophical schools present at his times. Sankara\u02bcs are the oldest surviving commentaries on the Upanishads. They form the basis of all subsequent interpretations and have influenced the way these texts are interpreted not only by Sankara\u02bcs opponents, but also by contemporary Indologists. In addition to the translator\u02bcs own notes, the translation brings parts of Sankara\u02bcs commentary on difficult passages. Thus it presents the Upanishads not only as documents of historical value, but also as philosophical texts in a broader sense.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a>In recent years, French authors have become more interested in the representation of history, especially World War II and the Holocaust, through the subjective experience of characters. The narrativization is related to in\u00addividual and collective memory and raises questions about trauma, intergenerational memory, identity, forgetting and the manipulation of memories. The theme of the monograph corresponds to the current worldwide research on literary texts depicting the relationship between history and its representation through individual experience. The publication History, Memory, and Personal Narrative in Contemporary French Prose examines the nature of fic\u00adtional and historical narratives of his\u00adtory, considers the modalities of its thematization in terms of its rep\u00adresentation as a per\u00adsonal experience in the works of post-war authors (J. Semprun, G. Perec, A. Camus), as well as in terms of the trace or mediated experience in the works of contemporary authors (P. Modiano, L. Binet, N. Huston, S. Germain), focusing mainly on the fictional works of S. Germain. It also highlights the reader\u2019s perspective in relation to the representation of history.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This book considers the contemporary political formula of the \u201cChinese Dream\u201d in the light of the treatment of dreams in Chinese literary history since antiquity. Sinic literary and philosophical texts document an extensive spectrum of dream possibilities: starting with Zhuangzi\u2019s eminent butterfly dream, an early example of the inversion of the dreamer\u2019s reality, through to confusing visions of the spiritual realm. In classical dramas, novels, and ghost stories, dreams see the earthly realm enter into conflict with higher realms of existence. They indulge the dreamer\u2019s quest for sensual pleasures, but then spiritual beings relentlessly harvest the dreamers\u2019 life energy. Dreams promise spiritual enlightenment \u2013 only to abandon the dreamer in a state of utter confusion. In the early twentieth century, traditional dream knowledge is abandoned in favour or Freudian episodes of sexual repression. In this context, the collective national dream emerges as an unexpected vehicle of the pained individual\u2019s hope for national rejuvenation.<\/p>\n

Goethe\u02bcs epistolary novel The\u00a0Sorrows of\u00a0Young Werther<\/em>, first published in 1774, has produced a global echo that rivals contemporary bestsellers. While in the German context, the book was always outshined by its famous author, patriotic writers in Italy and China saw their lives mirrored in Werther\u02bcs struggle, inspiring them to rewrite Goethe\u02bcs novel in revolutionary terms. Meanwhile, French Roman-tics embraced Werther\u02bcs expressive language to explore the dark corners of their souls. The same happened in Japan, where modernists invoked the text to show that there lies beauty in death. In his book Lives and Deaths of Werther<\/em>, Johannes Kaminski investigates how interpretations, translations, and literary adaptations of\u00a0Goethe\u02bcs novel have manipulated the\u00a0text in\u00a0ways that left deep marks on\u00a0world literature.<\/p>\n

What is conversation? Is it just a free-flowing chat or can we perceive it as something more? How does conversation contribute to the refinement of the individual and what role does it play in the establishment and maintenance of civilized communities? To what extent is informal conversation genuinely free and what are its unwritten rules? How does the phenomenon of conversation relate to literature and other kinds of art? And why is it important to consider conversation from a historical perspective? Can we reconstruct the way informal conversations were held in earlier times when sound recording did not exist?<\/p>\n

From the early modern period up to the end of the long 19th century, art and literature captured the plurality of voices and languages in the talks of countless convivial generations mostly in hints or in stylized ways. That does not mean, however, that this part of history is totally inaccessible to us. Adam B\u017eoch\u2019s book Conversation and European Literature<\/em> depicts in a vivid and dynamic way the relations between social norms and the artistically rendered reality of informal talking in different parts of Europe. In doing so, the author answers questions related to the ephemeral phenomenon of conversation and its cultural significance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The monograph reveals to what extent the theoretical impulses of translations of theoretical works of Russian formalism were productive for the development of relevant terminology in the field of Russian and Slavic studies in Slovakia. It focuses on Bako\u0161\u2019s scholarly activities with an emphasis on the translations of theoretical texts by representatives of the Russian formalist school, especially Viktor Shklovsky and Boris Ejchenbaum. Bako\u0161\u2019s multifaceted reflection on the concepts of formalism moves on several levels: from the translation and reception of theoretical works into Slovak to the subsequent integration of the stimuli of formalism in the positions of methodological and terminological starting points of his own research on the literary avant-garde, structuralism and historical poetics.<\/p>\n

The event was realized on the basis of an international agreement to promote cooperation in scientific research between the Institute of World Literature of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Polish Literature of the University of Warsaw. The event was organized by Ewa Szcz\u0119sna, Weronika Lipszyc and Anna Tenczy\u0144ska within the University of Warsaw and Bogumi\u0142a Suwara within the Institute of World Literature of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Due to its international character, two individual panels were held simultaneously during both days of the conference. The aim of the conference was to explore ecopoetics as a tool providing insight into the relationship between humans and nature, or between humans and other living and non-living entities. That ecopoetics is an interdisciplinary concept used in different discourses \u2014 whether it be artistic, media or scientific \u2014 can ultimately be seen in the example of poetry highlighting the destructive impact of humans on the environment where the scope of ecopoetics largely exceeds human sciences, as in the case of bioethical questions that are often raised in the context of posthumanism.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The violence and inhumanity of Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine put a definitive end to the false feeling of security enjoyed by Europe since the Yugoslav wars. Thus, maintaining a friendly dialog with people around the world is now more important than ever to prevent further tragedies. Translation in all its forms is the key practice that can facilitate mutual understanding, which is vital if we are to hand down the planet to further generations in a habitable state. Among other disciplines, translation studies has been increasingly active in addressing the most complex problems of our planet. Since information flows are directly dependent on one\u2019s location on the geopolitical map and are subject to market rules, many important studies conducted outside the main capital centres remain unknown in the international academic sphere despite the significant results and motivation of researchers.

It analyzes the international reception of the prominent Hungarian writer P\u00e9ter Esterh\u00e1zy (1950 \u2013 2016), widely considered to be one of the most significant representatives of Central European postmodernism. The book focuses on specific aspects of literary transfer and issues of literary translation. The first part introduces the reader to the world of Esterh\u00e1zy\u2019s writing and his thinking about literature. The second part is a collection of case studies about the reception of Esterh\u00e1zy\u2019s literary works in German, English, French, Slovenian, Serbian, Romanian, Russian, Italian, Finnish, Japanese, Czech and Slovak. The third part provides an inside view into the practice of Esterh\u00e1zy\u2019s translators.

\"\"<\/a>Over the last few decades, information and communication technologies have revealed the crisis of linguistic representation and profoundly affected not only the process of creating text and images, but also the processes of cultural, literary, and academic communication and, ultimately, the critical examination of literature. The first chapters of the monograph focus on the visualization of text as the first aspect of these phenomena, which is examined both in poetological contexts (ekphrasis, subversive ekphrasis), and in the juxtaposition of words and fragments of texts, which aligns with semiotic codes of the visual arts, on the one hand, and the new media art, on the other. The second aspect is the hybridization of text and image, presented in the article as a process of redefining photography: a move away from the understanding of photography as a trace of reality and towards its text-forming and narrative functions. The author demonstrates this process with examples from contemporary Polish and Slovak literature. At the same time, photography and its visual contents are understood as a technological and culturally determined paradigm, which provides concepts for interpreting hybrid literary works or new media works.

\n\t\t\t
Another aspect of the interface between literature and technology is the computational genealogy of the new media literary form \u2013 hypertext. In these contexts, the author concentrates on creating new cultural practices associated with the interactivity of new media, the transformation of analogue culture into digital culture, and the relocation of literature and visual arts to the peripheries of communication and technological innovations. Through analyses of interactivity and hypermedia, the article presents the current state of the cognitive assemblage of human and technological agency reflected in the posthuman context as a cyborg double. This metaphor reverberates through technologically specific literary production, specifically code poetry. The technologization of literature renders the computer as an intelligent typewriter, and poetry as an interface of natural and computerized language that makes poetry a platform for expressing its source codes. It is concluded that code poetry should be understood as \u201cpoetry from the spirit\u201d of algorithms. The last chapters of the monograph present the impact of information technologies on the methods of literary studies (exemplified by ergodic literature theory), on academic communication (exemplified by a PowerPoint presentation) and reflects on the limits of domestication of digital literature in the field of national literature (creators of analogue literature versus creators of digital literature).<\/p>\n

The introspective dimension of literary modernism is then reflected in various ways in which the states of the soul are portrayed in an alternative world of the protagonists \u2013 in their inner worlds as well as in their dreams. In the novels Mu\u017e s prot\u00e9zou (The Man with the Prosthesis; 1925) by J\u00e1n Hru\u0161ovsk\u00fd, Ztracen\u00fd st\u00edn (The Lost Shadow; 1931) by Egon Hostovsk\u00fd, D\u016fm o tis\u00edci patrech (The House of a Thousand Storeys; 1929) by Jan Weiss and Pis\u00e1r Gr\u00e1\u010d (Gr\u00e1\u010d the Scribe, 1940) by Jozef C\u00edger Hronsk\u00fd, the authors seem to express the consequences of the world the subject escapes. The distance from others and finally from oneself leads the protagonists into existential solitude. The connection between literary modernism and introspection is therefore based on the assumption that its symptoms (hidden features) are mental images that are subjective reactions to certain phenomena or are the result of their displacement. However, the result of such self-reflections in this case is not a romantic gesture of an individual rebelling against society. It transforms into the inner turmoil that the modern subjects experience through their ability of introspective reflection.<\/p>\n

\"Contexts<\/a> M\u00e1ria B\u00e1torov\u00e1\u2019s book Contexts and Comparison in Literary Studies (A Model of Interpretation of Alternative Art)<\/em> develops theoretical and methodological approaches for analyzing the relatively under-explored area of alternative and dissident works in Slovakia, the wider Central European region and beyond in the 20th century. The author proposes an interdisciplinary research model \u2013 from the central hermeneutic analysis of a specific text through the authorial category to contexts. An analysis so built is anchored in literary studies and directed towards history, sociology, philosophy and other potential contexts. The interpretation of literary works based on this approach is conducted through analyses of a specific text examined in the context of its historical period as well as other contexts reconstructed on the basis of archival material. The research framework proposed in this book opens up new avenues for systematic anchoring of national literatures (e.g. Slovak literature) into broader coordinates of world literature.<\/p>\n

\"dobrota_pucherova_feminism_2022\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The publication by Dobrota Pucherov\u00e1 received the „Outstanding Monograph of the Slovak Academy of Sciences“ award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This book re-reads the last 60 years of Anglophone African women\u2019s writing from a transnational and trans-historical feminist perspective, rather than postcolonial, from which these texts have been traditionally interpreted. Such a comparative frame throws into relief patterns across time and space that make it possible to situate this writing as an integral part of women\u2019s literary history.
\nRevisiting this literature in a comparative context with Western women writers since the 18th century, the author highlights how invocations of \u201ctradition\u201d have been used by patriarchy everywhere to subjugate women, the similarities between women\u2019s struggles worldwide, and the feminist imagination it produced. The author argues that in the 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century, African feminism has undergone a major epistemic shift: from a culturally exclusive to a relational feminism that conceptualizes African femininity through the risky opening of oneself to otherness, transculturation, and translation. Like Western feminists in the 1960s, contemporary African women writers are turning their attention to the female body as the prime site of women\u2019s oppression and freedom, reframing feminism as a demand for universal human rights and actively shaping global discourses on gender, modernity, and democracy.
\nThe book<\/a>\u00a0will be of interest to students and researchers of African literature, but also feminist literary scholars and comparatists more generally.<\/p>\n

\"obalka<\/p>\n

The corpus of what we might \u2014 for lack of a better term \u2014 call social sciences texts (texts about literature, culture, philosophy, sociology, literary theory, etc.), helped to form Slovak thinking on culture, literature, translation, and (inter)cultural dialogue. The seminar Translation of social sciences texts, which took place at the Institute of World literature SAS in December 2019, raised questions about the function of these texts in the Slovak cultural environment. The volume Translation of humanities texts and cultural dialogue<\/em> features contributions presented at the seminar. The introductory study, Genesis of thinking on the translation of social sciences texts with regards to the Nitra school of translation<\/em> (E. Gromov\u00e1), examines the reflection of the mentioned text types through the prism of established and canonized Slovak translation theory where the term \u201ctranslation of social sciences texts\u201d originated. The studies Golden age of the social sciences translation in Slovakia<\/em> (J. Truhl\u00e1\u0159ov\u00e1), Remarks on the theory and practice of translation of philosophical literature in Slovakia<\/em> (K. Bedn\u00e1rov\u00e1) and Translation of French \u201csciences sociales\u201d texts in Slovak journals at the turn of the 21st century<\/em> (L. Vajdov\u00e1) explore primarily translations from French that in certain periods dominated Slovak reception. The studies bring new impulses to the discussion that is worth being reopen. Translations of social sciences texts are surveyed from different perspectives with a view of their unquestionable cultural historical impact and the requirement for fit-for-purpose theoretical approaches.<\/p>\n

\"Anotacia<\/a><\/p>\n

The monograph edited by Roman Mikul\u00e1\u0161 was recognized as an Outstanding Monograph<\/a> by the Slovak Academy of Sciences.<\/p>\n

The edited volume considers the metaphor as a\u00a0phenomenon that constantly accompanies and forms our orientation in space, communication and thinking. Our reality is generated by and exists in metaphors. This process can be analyzed from various perspectives of the human sciences, depending on which we can find different answers to the question of how the reality is constructed through communication. It is therefore meaningful to ask how metaphors (re)construct our thinking and behaving. The authors perceive the metaphor not primarily as a phenomenon of the language system, but rather as a unique interconnection between cognition and communication. This position is supported by the fact that the metaphor has been increasingly studied by using the instruments of cognitive studies and discourse-analysis. Taking inter-disciplinary approaches, the studies give unique answers to the question of how the metaphor operates in the field between cognition and communication and to what extent it takes part in what we can call a coherent and cohesive picture of the world.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The collective monograph is a contribution to the scientific discourse on the borders between literary theory, aesthetics, culturology, and media studies. With studies of Slovak, Czech, and Polish theorists, it calls attention to the problem of interfaces in electronic literature and (post)digital culture. The texts bring a new perspective on the trends in the evolution of art and literature, taking into account contemporary research methods and state-ofthe- art knowledge in the respective area.<\/p>\n

\"New_Imagined_Communities_m\"<\/a>The present volume brings together a broad range of analyses focused on the process of identity-making in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. Identity is defined primarily in sociocultural and literary terms, but a number of articles also emphasise the political implications of the changing definitions of East-European identity in the current globalised world. The work follows in the footsteps of the project sponsored by the ICLA, entitled History of The Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe: Junctures and Disjunctures in the 19th and 20th Centuries (Benjamins 2004\u20132010). This partial continuity is an advantage for the discussion undertaken in this volume, which can build on earlier analyses, taking them in new directions. The authors make a successful effort to build and justify theoretically and practically a cross-cultural regional history. Their essays place cultural phenomena in a broad sociocultural and political context, analysing issues of identity, politics of ethnicity, and cross-cultural interaction. The book fills an important gap in the treatment of East-Central literature and comparative study.<\/p>\n
