Abstract
The question of rendering proper names has raised a lot of attention over the years, especially when it comes to the translation of literary texts. The procedures for rendering proper names have been studied mostly in works belonging to the fantasy genre and children’s literature. Even though George Orwell’s Animal Farm belongs to neither of the two categories, it was deemed interesting for a study of this kind because of several reasons. First, it is subtitled A Fairy Story, revealing its simplicity in storytelling, and second, it belongs to the subgenre of allegory, which represents an additional challenge to any potential translator. However, the real issue behind this book lies in its political nature and critical attitude towards the Soviet Union, even more so as it was published in 1945, meaning that the political and socio-cultural context influenced its publication and reception to a great extent, especially in the Communist countries. Therefore, this research aims to identify the procedures applied in rendering proper names from Animal Farm into two Croatian and four Russian translations, determine the differences among the translations into the same target language, as well as the differences between Croatian and Russian target texts, and, finally, to ascertain the diachronic changes in the general translation orientations by studying translations belonging to different periods.
Abstract (russian)
Проблемой передачи имен собственных занимаются теоретики переводоведения уже много лет, а этот вопрос является особенно интересным, когда речь идет о переводе литературных текстов. Приемы передачи имен собственных исследовались в основном в произведениях жанра фэнтези и детской литературы. Несмотря на то, что рассказ Скотный двор Джорджа Оруэлла не принадлежит ни к одной из этих двух категорий, он был интересным для исследования такого типа по нескольким причинам. Во-первых, подзаголовок этого рассказа – Сказка, раскрывает его простоту повествования, а во-вторых, он принадлежит к поджанру аллегории, что представляет собой дополнительную проблему для любого потенциального переводчика. Однако, настоящая проблема, которая стоит за этой книгой, заключается в ее политическом характере и критическом отношении к Советскому Союзу, тем более, потому что она была опубликована в 1945 году. Это значит, что политический и социально-культурный контекст в значительной степени повлияли на ее публикацию и восприятие, особенно в коммунистических странах. Таким образом, данная работа занимается выявлением приемов, применяемых при переводе имен собственных, появляющихся в рассказе Скотный двор, в двух хорватских и четырех русских переводах, затем определением различий между переводами на один и тот же целевой язык, а также различий между целевыми текстами на хорватском и русском языках, и, наконец, установлением диахронических изменений в общих направленностях переводов. В этом исследовании изучаются переводы разных периодов: хорватские переводы, опубликованные в 1983 и 2018 году, и русские, опубликованные в 1950, 1988, 1992 и 2002 году.
