Translationscapes and World Systems (supplementary materials)

Péter Király and András Kiséry

Overview

Our essay explores the metadata of all published translations of Hungarian literary texts into other languages in the period between 1800-2009. Our data is derived from two sources: Tibor Demeter and Rózsa Óvári Demeter: Bibliographia Hungarica (-1978), and UNESCO's Index Translationum. We are tracing the changes in the shape of Hungarian literature as seen from the outside, through the prism of translations: what authors were translated into what languages in each decade. This is part of a larger project, whose ultimate aim to reconstruct the world system of translation flows from the perspective of Hungarian writing.
