Some Aspects of Translating History
Journal Title: humanistica 21 - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The article entitled Some Aspects of Translating History initiates linguistic reflection over issues connected with contemporary translation of historical texts. Many challenges, as the authors emphasize, are not only connected with specificity of translation of historical texts such as, for example, the phenomenon of equivalence, understood in the article in a cognitive aspect, thereby taking into account the possibilities and limits of human cognition. Another issue presented by the authors and at the same time basic for the translation of historical texts, is the necessity to retain the axiological sense of the translated text. A translation should, therefore, render positive in its intentions and effects evocation of historical events but also, an implicitly intended manipulation of the original text. Analyzing specific cases connected with translation of history the authors point out both, positive in its effect cases of reference to historical memory and manipulation with regard to the original text.
