Geopolitics of literary translation. The Literary Colloquium Berlin and the Streams of Translation in Europe

该项目考察了柏林文学研讨会(LCB)在国家和欧洲范围内发展成为文学翻译资助中心的过程。该项目的目的首先是重建这一发展的历史，其次是从社会学角度分析和解释通过长期合作伙伴关系产生的翻译活动，特别是在1993--2009年期间，当时联邦外交部和其他资助机构支持在长期合作伙伴关系中翻译中欧和东欧的文献。本研究一方面以档案研究为基础，另一方面运用现场分析翻译学的方法。该项目的关键问题是：LCB如何能够发展成为文学翻译资金的中心，哪些文学象征、文化政治和(出版)经济战略与这一发展相联系，以及特别是来自中欧和东欧的“小文学”翻译产生的文学多样性如何影响跨国多元体系中当代德语文学的现代化。

The project examines the development of the Literary Colloquium Berlin (LCB) into a center for literary translation funding in a national and European context. The aim of the project is firstly the historical reconstruction of this development, secondly a sociological analysis and interpretation of the translation streams leading through the LCB, especially in the years 1993-2009, when the Federal Foreign Office and other funding institutions supported the translations of literature from Central and Eastern Europe at the LCB . On the one hand, the study is based on archive studies, on the other hand it uses methods of field analytical translation science. The key questions of the project are: how the LCB was able to develop into a central location for literary translation funding, which literary-symbolic, cultural-political and (publishing) economic strategies were connected with this development and finally how the literary diversity produced by the translations of "smaller literatures" from Central and Eastern Europe in particular influenced the modernization of German-language contemporary literature in the transnational polysystem.
