Abstract

This contribution explores a new addition to the range of international awards available for literary translation into English, the EBRD Literature Prize. It was founded by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) with the key objective of broadening the range of translated literatures available to the wider English-speaking public. The Prize was created in 2017 and it has been awarded four times to date. Accordingly, building on a brief overview of the broader role of prizes and awards within the global literary translation market, the genesis and rationale which underpin the EBRD Literature Prize are presented and highlighted. This information provides the basis for the subsequent exploratory analysis, which uses the regional groupings of the EBRD’s countries of operations as a preliminary framework of reference. As such, using the relevant publicly-available data, the geographical and linguistic origins of the translated literary works which have been shortlisted and longlisted for the Prize are outlined and discussed. The main aim is to determine whether any specific trends can be identified in the relevant works. Subsequently, the findings of these observations are presented, and, in recognition of the exploratory nature of this contribution, some possible indicators for additional research on the topic are offered.
ebrd文学奖:探索地理和语言多样性的新翻译奖
这篇文章探讨了文学翻译成英语的国际奖项范围的新增加,即欧洲复兴开发银行文学奖。它是由欧洲复兴开发银行(EBRD)创立的,其主要目标是向更广泛的英语公众扩大可获得的翻译文献的范围。该奖项于2017年设立,迄今已颁发四次。因此,在简要概述奖项和奖项在全球文学翻译市场中更广泛作用的基础上,提出并强调了支持欧洲复兴开发银行文学奖的起源和基本原理。这些资料为随后的探索性分析提供了基础,该分析使用欧洲复兴开发银行业务国家的区域分组作为初步参考框架。因此,利用相关的公开数据,对入围和入围的翻译文学作品的地理和语言来源进行了概述和讨论。主要目的是确定是否可以在相关作品中确定任何具体趋势。随后,介绍了这些观察的结果,并认识到这一贡献的探索性,提出了对该专题进行进一步研究的一些可能的指标。
