Polemiczne czy prowokacyjne?

POLEMICAL OR PROVOCATIVE? ON THE ROLE OF PERITEXT IN INCREASING THE VISIBILITY OF TRANSLATORS AND TRANSLATION IN RECENT POLISH RETRANSLATIONS OF THE CLASSICS FOR YOUNG READERSThis paper surveys some new phenomena recently witnessed in the practice of retranslating widely known books from the canon of literature for young readers in Poland, interpreting them as possible signals of changes beginning in the subsystem of literature for the young, which within the polysystem theory of translation is considered to be rather conservative and attached to existing models, and also as signals of the increasing visibility of translators, their work and the very phenomenon of translation. The discussion concerns cases of recent retranslations that change traditional titles of children’s classics, widely recognizable on the Polish publishing market due to numerous previous editions and/or retranslations, the increased visibility of the very fact of retranslation due to translators’ and editors’ usage of peritexts, and the increased visibility of translators’ work in peritexts.
