INTERSEMIOTIC TRANSLATION AND INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION: THE COVERS OF TRANSLATIONS OF OLGA TOKARCZUK’S PRAWIEK I INNE CZASY
A review of the covers of thirty translations of the novel Prawiek i inne czasy by Olga Tokarczuk reveals a great variety of illustrations as well as similarities beyond the differences. If one treats the illustration chosen for the cover as the effect of an intersemiotic translation, the multiplicity observed could testify to the diversity of interpretations of the novel, depending on the languages and cultures. The existence of similarities and regularities, for its part, could be considered as an indication of the elements of the novel which “resist” the factors of cultural appropriation. The study shows that the repetitive nature of certain illustrations can be considered as a sign of the universal character of the work.
