Item Nasjonal identitet, det overnaturlige og oversettelsesstrategier(Versita, 2012) Lange, Tadeusz WojciechThe article discusses translation strategies used by the author when dealing with culture-specific references/concepts in the rendition in Polish of the Norwegian fantasy trilogy The Sign of the Elves by Sigbjørn Mostue. The challenge here lay in that the novels feature a number of characters inspired by Norwegian folklore. Of the following translation strategies that in the author’s opinion are possible, but not as yet fully listed anywhere, i.e. 1) direct borrowing 2) literal translation 3) direct borrowing + footnote 4) literal translation + footnote 5) direct borrowing + descriptive explanation 6) literal translation + descriptive explanation 7) substitution with another reference from source culture 8) substitution with another reference from target culture 9) substitution with another reference from universal/global culture 10) substitution with translator’s own coinage 11) evasion by simplification 12) evasion by omission, strategies 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11 were used in the translation in question. In his choice of the (mostly functional) equivalents in the target language, the translator drew upon two main sources: Slavic demonology and role-playing games (RPGs).Item To skandinaviske evighetskalendere i samlingen til Det etnografiske museet i Poznań(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2009) Lange, Tadeusz WojciechArtikkelen handler om to skandinaviske evighetskalendere av tre som befinner seg i samlingen til Det etnografiske museet i Poznan. Slike kalendere er kjent fra flere europeiske land, men i store mengder ble de laget og anvendt bare i Skandinavia. Man skiller mellom to typer av slike redskaper: en enkel „jordbruksalmalmanakk” utgave, typisk for Norge (primstav), og en mer avansert type med gyllentall, brukt til computus, som forekommer hovedsakelig i Sverige (runstav). De to Poznan-kalendere er beskrevet og identifisert som svenske runestaver: den ene i septagonal spaserstokkform, laget i Linköping stift i 1599, den andre flat („sverdformet”) kanskje like gammel, med opprinnelse i Uppland.
