Exil:Trans – Life and work of translators in exile

翻译在发布时，作为真实的或虚拟的对象存在。它们可以被购买、借用、阅读、用于进一步研究、搁置或储存。作为引文或转述部分，它们可能会在各个话语领域传播，从而塑造我们的社会生活。在纳粹暴政的背景下，流亡中的翻译也是如此。然而，他们的创造者，流亡的翻译家，迄今为止，在公共和学术话语中仍然是匿名的：他们的名字，传记，工作，代理范围，网络，翻译策略仍然是黑暗的。流亡：跨译项目旨在将这些译者带出话语的阴影。流亡既意味着失去，也意味着拯救。对流亡的研究通常与稀缺和分散的数据有关。对许多人来说，逃亡流亡不仅意味着失去个人生活中心，而且往往导致-至少在一段时间内-生存边缘。《流亡：跨》将探讨流亡中的译者在他们工作（甚至刚刚建立）的新翻译环境中能够开辟和塑造什么样的回旋余地和行动，以及他们扮演和发展了什么样的角色（例如，语言领域，流亡出版商，反法西斯承诺）。我们的工作方法将基于历史交叉的方法-重点是传记和网络。近年来，流亡已成为世界上越来越多人的现实，即使是那些生活在和平中的人也能感受到它的普遍性。译者在跨地域关系的建立、塑造、维持甚至破坏中起着重要的作用。我们项目的流亡翻译人员在纳粹统治期间为分享文化和科学文本、新闻、希望和期望做出了贡献。同时，他们的工作也意味着打破政治限制的行为。因此，对他们的工作和生活条件，他们的互动和出版环境有一个坚实的理解（并提高话语的可见性）是很重要的。嵌入在数字人文框架中，我们将为公众打开一个电子窗口，以跟踪流亡者正在进行的工作：Trans.

Translations, when published, exist as real or virtual objects. They can be bought, borrowed, read, exploited for further study, shelved or stored. As quotations or paraphrased sections, they may circulate through various discursive fields and thus shape our social life. This is also true for translations in exile in the context of Nazi tyranny. Their creators, however, the translators in exile, have, so far, remained anonymous in public and academic discourse: their names, biographies, work, the scope of agency, networks, translational strategies remain in the dark. The Exil:Trans project has been designed to take these translators out of the discursive shadows.Exile means both, loss and rescue. Research into exile is usually associated with scarce and scattered data. For many, escaping into exile not only meant losing their individual centre of life but often also lead – at least for a certain time – to existential margins. Exil:Trans will explore what room for manoeuvre and action the translators in exile were able to open up and shape within the new translatorial setting(s) they worked in (or had even just established) and what roles they played and developed (e.g., linguistic field, publishers in exile, contra-Fascist commitment). Our work will be methodologically based on the approach of histoire croisée – with a focus on biographies and networks.In recent years, exile has become a reality for ever more people in the world, and even those who live in peace can feel its ubiquity. Translators usually play an important part in establishing, shaping, maintaining or even destroying translocal relations. The translators in exile of our project contributed to sharing cultural and scientific texts, news, hopes and expectations during Nazi rule. At the same time, their work also meant an act of breaking political restrictions. It is thus of importance to gain a solid understanding (and improve discursive visibility) of their conditions of work and life, their settings of interaction and publication. Embedded in a digital-humanities framework, we shall open an e-window for the public to follow the ongoing work of Exil:Trans.
