{"title":"Translation and performance cultures: Spanish drama and Restoration England","authors":"Jorge Braga Riera","doi":"10.5817/TY2021-1-8","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5817/TY2021-1-8","url":null,"abstract":"From 1660 onwards, Restoration dramatists drew on seventeenth-century Spanish theatre in search of new plots and characters that might appeal to London audiences. Despite the socio-historical differences between two distinct theatrical traditions, practitioners managed to turn the foreign plays into actable English texts. By comparing a corpus of classical Spanish plays and their versions in Restoration England, this paper aims to provide some insight into the translation strategies employed. In this sense, two performance-oriented mechanisms can be distinguished. On the one hand, many elements in the source texts were naturalised to meet the demands of the target culture, as perceived not only in the treatment of rhythm, versification and rhetorical devices but also in action, act-division and characterisation. This domesticating method is also noticeable in how the central motifs of the comedia, i.e. comicality (stage and linguistic), honour and love, were approached. On the other hand, some aspects in the originals (storylines, names and certain stylistic features) were maintained, manifestly showing the Spanishness of the play-text. A contrastive study leads to significant conclusions on the success of these tailor-made, accommodating formulas, and raises questions about the extent to which the translators reach the status of authors by leaving a visible mark on their creations.","PeriodicalId":37223,"journal":{"name":"Theatralia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71356657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Daniel","doi":"10.5817/TY2020-2-8","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5817/TY2020-2-8","url":null,"abstract":"Willing to challenge the classical tradition, Richlin (2005) adapted the Latin play Persa by Plautus to a contemporary context using American slang and pop culture. Richlin aims at making Roman comedy performable, popular and funny again whether onstage or in the classroom. Is her radical modernisation a form of domestication that is often criticized in translation studies for being unfaithful and unethical? Based upon a comparison between the original Latin text and Richlin’s version, this paper questions the ethics of faithfulness which play a major role in translation terminology, a system determined by the traditional polarity between domestication and foreignization. By highlighting the ludic nature of Plautus’ comedy (especially the ongoing joke with Greek culture and language), this paper argues that using modern transposition is a heavily Plautine strategy suitable for recovering the immediacy of comedy. a performance ( ludicrum ) of Clara She is working on a thesis in Comparative Literature on the subjects of translating classical texts today and using translation as a tool for teaching Classics. Based on an interdisciplinary approach between classical phi-lology and reception studies, she works on translating Roman comedy for a mainstream audience with the example of her own French adaptation of Miles gloriosus by Plautus. She is also interested in the reception of the Antiquity in pop culture.

Arntzen","doi":"10.5817/TY2020-2-9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5817/TY2020-2-9","url":null,"abstract":"Knut Ove Arntzen is a professor of Theatre Studies at the Department of Linguistics, Literary and Aesthetics Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Bergen, Norway. His research is oriented towards theoretical and practical concepts of visual dramaturgy as well as post-mainstream developments in contemporary European theatre. Knut Ove Arntzen publishes findings in many international periodicals and books as well as presents his work to students and other theatre researchers as a visiting professor at European universities, for example in Lithuania, Belgium and Germany. He has participated in many international conferences (University of Glasgow, Amsterdam, Copenhagen), cooperated with Gordana Vnuk in seminars at the Eurokaz festival and presented several lectures about new theatre developments, post-mainstream and site specific/ ambient theatre in Germany, Austria, and Finland. Recently, Knut Ove Arntzen have written and edited together with John Keefe a new book called Staging and Re-cycling: Retrieving, Reflecting and Re-framing the Archive (2020) that explores the various ways in which dramaturgical and academic materials, once published or presented, may be ‘resurrected’ to a new life. Knut Ove Arntzen was awarded the HEDDA Honorary Prize 2020 for outstanding achievements in Norwegian performing arts. Knut Ove Arntzen had been planning to visit the Department of Theatre Studies at Masaryk University at the beginning of April 2020 and to give a lecture concerning the concept of Visual Dramaturgy. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the lecture was postponed until Autumn 2020, and the following interview was consequently carried out as an e-mail conversation in May/July 2020. Amálie Bulandrová, scholar at the Department of Theatre Studies, asked Professor Arntzen to respond to several questions regarding the concept of Visual Dramaturgy. We are looking for the upcoming seminar with Knut Ove Arntzen which will take place online on the 16th of November 2020 and the possibility of discussing in greater detail some of the issues outlined below.","PeriodicalId":37223,"journal":{"name":"Theatralia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71356690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
