Wymiary polskiego przekładoznawstwa. Numery „Przekładańca” w liczbach
This article presents a quantitative analysis of a corpus of forty–eight issues of “Przekładaniec” published so far (a total of 3,145,647 words) in terms of who publishes texts in it and what affiliations they represent, who the authors of “Przekładaniec” most readily quote, and how their interests evolve over time. We examine how the Polish translation studies discourse has been shaped in the journal and what terms it uses. We also follow the tr…
Canonical artworks and humorous memes
This study builds upon the international collaboration of researchers on humour during the pandemic and focuses on digital humour inspired by canonical works of art (for example, Mona Lisa wearing a face mask). By adapting the General Theory of Verbal Humor to the purposes of multimodal (mostly visual) analysis, we investigate how and why world-renowned paintings are transformed for humorous purposes and cross-culturally repackaged to thematize v…
Working Titles. Computational Analysis of Film Titling Practices
This article traces historical trends in film titling practices in Poland, based on quantitative analysis of film metadata. The authors analyse a corpus of 2,519 films produced in Poland until 2023, looking at regularities in the naming of Polish original films: the average length of titles, title duplication, the most frequent content words typical of successive phases in the history of Polish cinematography, lexical diversity, and the presence …
Quantifying the remake
American film remakes have enjoyed growing academic attention over the past 50 years. Together with prequels, sequels, reboots and spin-offs, they have been often viewed as exponents of contemporary recycling culture, symptomatic of Hollywood’s recent creative exhaustion and commercial risk aversion. In our article, we adopt a diachronic quantitative perspective to analyse and interpret the available metadata on 986 Hollywood remakes produced bet…
Images of Irreverence
This article discusses selected “rewritings” of Edward Lear’s nonsense poem “The Akond of Swat”, focusing specifically on the translators’, illustrators’, adapters’ and editors’ attitudes towards the allusive nature of the poem – and specifically the reference it makes to the historical figure of the Pashtun religious leader Abdul Ghaffūr, also known as the Akond (or Wali) of Swat or Saidū Bābā, which may be viewed as orientalist or parodistic fr…

City Communication Network: Sherry Simon’s Cities in Translation: Intersections of Language and Memory The article reviews Sherry Simon’s seminal book Cities in Translation: Intersections of Language and Memory (Routledge, 2012) recently rendered into Polish. The Canadian scholar combines urban studies with comparative literature, translation, translator and memory studies to provide insight into linguistic and cultural interactions in the “dual …
The Stylometry of Film Dialogue
We examine film dialogue with quantitative textual analysis (stylometry, sentiment analysis, distant reading). Working with transcribed dialogue in almost 300 productions, we explore the complex way in which most-frequent-words-based stylometry and lexicon-based sentiment analysis produce patterns of similarity and difference between screenwriters and/or a priori IMDB-defined genres. In fact, some of our results show that counting and comparing v…

Images of Irreverence: Nonsense Poetry in Translation as Exemplified by Edward Lear’s Poem The Akond of Swat The paper deals with selected “rewritings” of Edward Lear’s nonsense poem The Akond of Swat, focusing specifically on the translators’, illustrators’, adapters’ and editors’ attitudes towards the allusive nature of the poem – the reference it makes to the historical figure of the Pashtun religious leader Abdul Ghaffūr, also known as the Ak…
Vestibules to the “world of topsyturvydom” – paratexts in nonsense anthologies
In this article we examine eighteen selected nonsense anthologies published in the UK since the 1920s, working on the assumption that they define, re-shape and visually reinterpret the genre for a general audience in parallel to scholarly approaches to nonsense. In the first part of our paper we look at the process of anthologising and its main functions, followed by an overview of key nonsense anthologies. In the second part, we inspect peritext…
Three Lives of The Saint in Polish Voiceover Translation
The article adopts a diachronic perspective on Polish screen translation. It compares the voiceover version of the British series The Saint broadcast on public television under the old regime with more recent ones, released twenty-five and thirty years later. The main aim is to analyse traces of socio-cultural manipulation in the consecutive portrayals of the Western reality, with special emphasis on translation practice in the communist era. The…
