Commented translation: Women Artists Then and Now: Painting, Sculpture and the Image of the Self (In: Linda Nochlin: Global Feminism: New Directions in Contemporary Art. Merrell Publishers, 2007. ISBN-13: 978-1858943909, pp. 47-64).
Frantíková, Iva ; Josek, Jiří (advisor) ; Tobrmanová, Šárka (referee)
This thesis consists of a transaltion of a chapter written by the American feminist art historian Linda Nochlin called Women Artists Then and Now: Painting, Sculpture and the Image of the Self from Global Feminism: New Directions in Contemporary Art and a commentary on various aspects of the process. The concept of translation was created upon the basis of an extratextual and intratextual analysis, and the following principles for work with the text were layed down: The fact, that the percipient of the original and the translation text differ in their cultural backgrounds, is considered in the translation, and names which are less known in Europe are accompanied with intratextual explanatory notes. The publicistic genre disposes of different means in the source and the target languague. The high level of expresivity and subjectivity of the originial text is substituded by more formal means in Czech which, nonetheless, provide the same function and therefore represent functional substitution. These steps lead to preservation of the thematic content and the effect of the translation on the percipient is the same as that of the original text on the original reader.
