Tractors and Translators. Langston Hughes in Cold War Czechoslovakia
Original language description
The poet Langston Hughes was central to mid-century transnational exchanges and Cold War translation. This essay examines the poet´s centrality through a new lens, presenting a case study on Czech translations of Hughes´s poetry between 1950 and 1963 that draws on archival materials, especially the correspondence between Hughes and one of his Czech translators, Jiří Valja, paratexts, and analysis of translations. The essay shows how Hughes´s poetry was translated into Czech against the backdrop of Cold War publishing politics and aesthetic norms, how the translations of Hughes´s work operated in these contexts, and how Cold War translation emerged as a specific site of inquiry with its own challenges, contacts, and practices.
