This year’s issue of the international journal Translation Studies, which provides a forum for discussion focusing on historical, social, institutional and cultural aspects of translation, has just been published. In the current issue, you will find an English-language study by our colleague Anna Gnot “Tamizdat translation agent as cultural mediator: an archival exploration of trajectories in the case of Ota Filip”.
In it, Anna Gnot examines the trajectories of tamizdat distribution of Czech literature in West Germany during the 1970s and 1980s and follows in particular the literary activities of the exiled writer Ota Filip, whose work she has been researching for many years.
If you are interested in the obstacles of publishing Czech literature during that difficult time, we have unlocked the study for the first 50 users for free at this link: https://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/YIIAMYKVUT2WJMNXABT2/full?target=10.1080/14781700.2024.2360428.
The study was created as one of the outputs of our already completed project “Global Trajectory of Czech Literature since 1945”. More information about it and an overview of all published outputs can be found on the project website.
