Abstract:

This volume brings together research on a variety of paratextual and
peritextual elements of translation of German, Chinese and Czech source texts.
The explication seen as necessary to translated texts is a part of this
growing field, as researchers investigate the influence of writing which
purports to help the reader’s understanding of a text. The articles included
here demonstrate the impact of paratextual and peritextual elements on the way
a text is produced and received. Publishers, both consciously and
unconsciously, may manipulate the presentation of a text to appeal to a
certain readership, while writers of prefatorial, explanatory and critical
material base their paratextual interpretation on their own perceptions and
political leanings. The articles in the volume focus on significant literary
texts, by writers such as Christa Wolf and Mao Zedong. Regional novels of
Taiwan, modern and traditional poetry, and children’s stories are not exempt
from the power of paratext, and some genres, such as the literary
mystification texts published in the Czech Republic, are purposefully designed
to mislead the reader. The articles in the volume help to dispel the notion
that translation and the paratext which surrounds it, and of which it is a
part, are innocent.
