Why "Map" Translations?


TRANSLATIONS FROM UKRAINIAN AFTER 1991. FACTS, TRENDS, RECOMMENDATIONS is the outcome of a year-long study mapping translations from the Ukrainian language into ten other languages from the year 1991 to date. The texts included here are largely based on the work of researchers commissioned by the Publishers Forum – Lviv, who have prepared complete bibliographies and in-depth analyses of translations from Ukrainian into Armenian, Czech, English, French, Georgian, German, Norwegian, Polish, Serbian and Swedish.

The studies offer a fresh, evidence-based look at the questions that are of concern for the whole literary, cultural and publishing community in Ukraine:

Is Ukrainian literature known well enough to audiences in other countries? What are the mechanisms through which a translation and publication from Ukrainian happens? What promotional techniques work best and what can be done to improve the presence of Ukrainian culture abroad via translations?

The answers to these questions are not as straightforward as they may seem at a first glance. The presence of Ukrainian writings in translation is affected in equal measure by the availability of skilful intermediators (above all, translators!), a comprehensive strategy and support, but also by the recipient's country context: its cultural and book infrastructure, its literary traditions, its audiences' expectations. This is why the current publication and the ten studies offer general recommendations on the elements of a successful strategy for promoting Ukrainian writings, yet at the same time suggest specific measures that differ for the different recipient languages.  

The Book Platform project would like to thank the authors of the ten studies for the high quality of their work and for their commitment. We are also indebted to Sofiya Kosarchyn (in her capacity as a project assistant at the Publishers Forum) and to Annetta Antonenko of Calvaria Publishers who coordinated the commissioning of the studies and the monitoring of results.
