The Importance of Translation Ahead of 2016 Festival Neue Literatur

http://trainee-pc/gbonewsletter/images/siteimages/Seriously-Funny-Prof-Pic-v2-1-300x300.jpg


The event line-up for the 7th annual Festival Neue Literatur (FNL) in New York City has been announced, and this year’s theme is “Seriously Funny.” Taking place on February 25-28, 2016, FNL brings together authors from Germany and New York for several days of readings and discussions.
American authors include James Hannaham, Jenny Offill, Siri Hustvedt, Ann Goldstein, Joshua Rothman, John Wray and Natasha Wimmer. They will be in conversation with German authors Xaver Bayer, Sibylle Berg, Alvara Enrigue, Iris Hanika, Vea Kaiser, Christopher Kloeble, Daniel Kehlmann and Pedro Lenz.
FNL will kick off by presenting the 2016 Friedrich Ulfers Prize to translator Burton Pike for his achievements in championing German-language literature in the United States. Past winners of this prize include Bob Weil, Sara Bershtel and Carol Brown Janeway.
To mark the occasion, Pike wrote the following text on the necessary evolution of literary translation:

Equivalence in Translation by Burton Pike

TRANSLATOR BURTON PIKE
There have been many theories about literary translation, from such writers as
Dryden, Goethe, Schopenhauer,
http://trainee-pc/gbonewsletter/images/siteimages/Burton-Pike.jpeg

Nietzsche, ValĂ©ry, Nabokov, and Derrida, to name a few. Literary fashions constantly change, and languages and cultures are constantly changing as well, so that what constitutes a good translation cannot be carved in stone but must change with the times and the circumstances: this is why translations have to be periodically redone. Literary translation is a search not for reproducing the original text word for word, but for finding equivalents between the original language and the language it is being translated into. What makes this difficult is that besides the words, a novel or story also contains unwritten but important information that is an essential part of its meaning. If a friend says something to you, you translate its meaning not only from his words but also from the tone of his voice and his physical attitude. The literary translator must take this “dark matter” into account.
Thanks to the interest in the theory of language in universities in recent years, the present generation of translators has been very well served: they are more sensitive to the many factors that constitute the literary language they are translating from, and more careful about the more-than-language that is involved in expressing what they are translating into English. Publishers have also to some extent relented about insisting that translations be in straightforward current English no matter what the authors of the original works were doing with language as an essential constituent of their literary creations.
Now serious translators are paying closer attention to what their author’s text contains in addition to the words. Taking the broad view, every communication is an act of translation. Octavio Paz said that “no text can be completely original because language itself, in its very essence, is already a translation: first from the nonverbal world and then because each sign and each phrase is a translation of another sign, another phrase.” Every literary text is, more than a collection of words to be translated, a cohesive whole with its own unique sensibility, and it is this that the translator must convey by equivalence in translating it into his own language.

Overseas player Kiran Matharu has been in good form and is currently placed second in the 2016 Hero Order of Merit with total earnings of INR 2,38,000 in two appearances. She finished runner-up behind Delhi youngster Vani Kapoor in both the events at Ahmedabad, and will be the firm favourite at RCGC in Vani’s absence. Vani Kapoor and Amandeep Drall are both currently playing in Australia.
Kiran will be up against a strong field, and will face a stiff challenge from the likes of Smriti Mehra, Saaniya Sharma and Gursimar Badwal. Kapurthala’s Gursimar Badwal is currently placed fourth in the money list with total earnings of INR 1,61,000, followed by Chandigarh’s Saaniya Sharma in fifth place with total earnings of INR 1,47,000. Both players are expected to push hard for a victory at the event. Kolkata’s Smriti Mehra is currently placed eighth on the money list with total earnings of INR 1,08,500, and would like to see her name move up in the Order of Merit.
Hero Motocorp sponsored Bengaluru golfer Sharmila Nicollet will be making a comeback to the Tour and will be playing in her first event this year. She did not participate in the first two events, and will look to make an instant impact at RCGC. Other players to look out for are Kolkata’s Neha Tripathi, Pune’s Shweta Galande and the Delhi duo of Mehar Atwal and Ankita Tiwana.
The historic Royal Calcutta Golf Club is the second oldest golf course in the world, and the par 72 course is all set to host some of the best women players in the country.

The other level 1 boys’ game between Odisha and Haryana also went down to the wire with only two points separating the teams once again. Odisha emerged winners of the contest defeating Haryana 61-59.
