Abstract:

Translations are crucial to the flow of themes, images, forms and ideas 
across boundaries. They constitute a special case of cultural dynamics as, in 
a sense, they are existing texts revived in a new form. The introduction of 
textual works in a target culture involves a high degree of strategy and 
control. These moments of control, selection and influence deserve special 
attention in cultural, receptional, and translation-historical studies. The 
essays in this yearbook address aspects of the central topic: the impact of 
translations on culturalhistorical developments in Europe. First and foremost 
is the question which works were selected and why, and next which were 
neglected and why. In a wider scope: what - in the long-term processes of 
cultural transfer - were the «peaks» or key moments, and of which nature was 
the discourse accompanying the presence of a foreign-language culture in 
translation? Why did it all happen like this, and what was the precise impact 
of the introduction of new works, new ideas, new culture through the medium 
of translation? These are the questions to which the authors of this work 
attempt to provide answers.
