Abstract:

The study revives the playful translation process of Frigyes Karinthy based on student verse translation. Two short poems will be presented: a Czech contemporary children’s poem by Radek Malý and Sándor Weöres’ Énhasadás. R. Malý’s text was translated into different languages, while Énhasadás only into the Czech language. The presented examples also show the more general tendencies of verse translation: enlargement (more syllables) and the increase of expressiveness and emotional tone.

Keywords: translation of poetry, teaching translation, theory of translation, Frigyes Karinthy, Radek Malý, Sándor Weöres

Our profile

Partitúra is a Hungarian literary journal published in Slovakia twice a year. The first edition was issued in 2006. From 2007 to 2014 its publishers were the Faculty of Central European Studies at The Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra in cooperation with Sambucus Literary Society. Since 2014 the Faculty of Central European Studies at the CPU in Nitra became the sole publisher.

The journal releases peer-reviewed scientific articles, literary studies and art reviews of both Hungarian as well as world literature. It is also a forum for essays on several other arts and intercultural relations. Furthermore, special attention is devoted to the Central European literature and literary studies; the magazine not only publishes the reviews of such studies, but also provides the arena for reflections about them. The journal aims to give an account of the contemporary Hungarian literature of the Hungarian minorities as well as to serve as a cluster for discourses.

As for the structure of the paper, it is usually divided into three main sections. The first part generally deals with the translation of an important foreign abstract literary study. It is followed by the heading of Scientific Studies and the Columns of Critical Analysis. Partitúra regularly publishes thematic abstracts by authors, genres, as well as a literary and artistic phenomenon in focus.
