Keywords:
Descriptive studies of the translation., School of manipulation translation, studies of the literary translation, cultural reception, polysystem theoryAbstract
This paper concentrates on literary translation theories based on literary sciences. Tomaszkiewicz recalls that the theory of reception or aesthetics of reception, developed by H. R. Jauss and W. Iser, also named School of Constance, is concerned to the reception of literary texts and dates back to late 1960s. At the same time, the polysystem theory, proposed by Even Zohar and Gideon Toury, was also introduced in Translation Studies. This was an important initiative, given that, up until then, translation had mostly been considered as a purely linguistic nature activity and started, then, being comprehended as a cultural decantation in which text reception played a very important role. The inclusion of the receiver in Translation Studies is not only theoretically legitimized, but also occupies the forefront of the interests in which the receiver is obligatorily integrated in the communicative network. Translators play, then, the twofold role of receiver and sender, becoming the first receiver of the original text and the sender of the translated text. This paper addresses the main advances of Literary Translation Studies, including Descriptive Translation Studies, polysystem theory, Manipulation School as well as norm concepts.
