Translational Anthropology. German 16th-Century Translations of Ancient Literature from the Perspective of Intersectionality Research

该项目考察了古代的接受，这是早期现代翻译文化的特点。该项目并不局限于语言文学水平，因为它也调查了潜在的规范和认识论概念。翻译被认为是人类学的关键文本，是人对人的，是人对人的谈判。这构成了这个项目的基本假设。它结合了许多研究领域：翻译的文化理论，交叉性的社会理论和人文主义的文学研究。该项目的目标是概述“翻译人类学”的概念，使交叉性理论适用于翻译分析，从而为SPP 2130提供概念上的贡献。在第一个资助阶段，对荷马和奥维德作品的16世纪德语译本进行了审查，参考它们建立的权力关系，它们形成的身份类别以及它们传达的规范。为了进一步概述早期现代翻译人类学的特殊性，第二阶段将发展的方法论应用于其他古代文本的翻译，更加关注它们的社会接受空间。再一次，这个项目由两个密切相关的部分组成：第一个组成部分研究普劳图斯和特伦斯的喜剧的德语翻译，第二个部分研究巴兹尔大帝和杰罗姆的教父著作的德语翻译。这两个组成部分还包括与其他外语翻译的比较。体裁的变化补充了第一阶段考察的文本语料库：戏剧文本和教父文本根植于独特的文化语境，产生了史诗中没有的生活设计和身份。就其制度联系而言，德文译本将考试范围扩展到分别包括学校和舞台以及教堂和讲坛领域。对性别、宗教、阶级、年龄、种族、教育、性和残疾的交叉分析为早期现代译本及其古代文本提供了新的解释。

The project examines the reception of Antiquity, which is characteristic of Early Modern cultures of translation. The project is not restricted to the linguistic-literary level, since it also investigates the underlying normative and epistemic concepts. Translations are considered as anthropological key texts that are by humans for humans, and negotiate human matters. This constitutes the fundamental hypothesis of the project. It combines numerous fields of research: the cultural theory of translation, the social theory of intersectionality and the literary study of humanism. The objectives of this project are to outline the concept of a ‘translational anthropology‘, to make the theory of intersectionality applicable to the analysis of translations, and thereby to provide a conceptual contribution to the SPP 2130.During the first funding phase, the 16th-century German translations of the works of Homer and Ovid were examined with reference to the power relations they establish, the identity categories they form, and the norms they convey. In order to further outline the specificity of Early Modern translational anthropology, the second phase applies the developed methodology to other translations of antique texts, putting an increased focus on their social spaces of reception. Again, the project is composed of two closely interrelated parts: the first component project examines the German translations of comedies by Plautus and Terence, the second the German translations of the church father writings by Basil the Great and Jerome. Both component projects also include comparisons with other foreign-language translations. The change of genres complements the text corpus examined in the first phase: the dramatic and patristic texts are rooted in distinct cultural contexts and produce life designs and identities, which have no place in epic poetry. In terms of their institutional ties, the German translations extend the scope of examination to include the areas of school and stage as well as church and pulpit respectively. The intersectional analysis of gender, religion, class, age, ethnicity, education, sexuality, and dis/ability offers new interpretations of the Early Modern translations and their ancient pre-texts.
