Like-minded agents and established consecrators: Czech-to-German poetry translators, 1948–1989
Original language description
This study explores the translation of Czech poetry into German during the Cold War (1948–1989) from the perspective of translators, taking into account their socio-biographical background and diverse activities. Applying an agent-oriented approach, it considers these translators’ motivations which were closely tied to their personal interests and the symbolic capital that they brought to or gained from their work. A quantitative analysis reveals commonalities across these individuals’ linguistic knowledge, biographies and non-translation activities. Even so, the uniqueness of each person’s trajectory complicates efforts to establish categories of translators. For deeper insight into the conditions in which these translators worked, the article turns to the cases of Konrad Balder Schäuffelen and various translators of the author Jaroslav Seifert.
