1. On Polish Translation of Sea and Spar Between

   Stephanie Strickland's and Nick Montfort's See and Spar Between is in many respects a translational challenge that in some languages might seem an impossible task. Polish, our target language, imposes some serious constraints: one- syllable words become disyllabic or multisyllabic; kennings have different morphological, lexical and grammatical arrangement, and most of the generative rhetoric of the original (like anaphors) must take into consideration the grammatical gender of Polish words. As a result, the javascript code, instructions that accompany the javascript file, and arrays of words that this poetry generator draws from, need to be expanded and rewritten. Moreover, in several crucial points of this rule-driven work, natural language forces us to modify the code. In translating Sea and Spar Between, the process of negotiation between the source language and the target language involves more factors than in the case of traditional translation. Strickland and Montfort read Dickinson and Melville and parse their readings into a computer program (in itself a translation, or port, from Python to javascript) which combines them in almost countless ways.

3. TRANS.MISSION [UN.DIALOGUE]

   TRANS. Un préfixe qui décrit une traversée. Un préfixe qui peut être géolocalisé : transatlantique. Un préfixe qui s’exprime par un mouvement : transférer, transporter, transiter. MISSION. Un groupe de personnes envoyé dans une contrée étrangère qui assiste, négocie, ou encore établit des relations sur ce nouveau territoire. Une tâche opérationnelle comme un programme informatique. DIALOGUE. Une conversation entre deux ou plusieurs personnes. Un récit littéraire qui prend la forme d’une conversation. TRANS.MISSION [UN.DIALOGUE] est un dialogue généré par ordinateur, un récit littéraire ou encore une conversation qui traverse les réseaux de communication transatlantiques. C’est une narration qui voyage sur l’océan, cherchant à envoyer un message aux habitants et aux voyageurs des côtes maritimes. Les particularités des dispositifs techniques, comme les interférences et les échecs de transmission, ont marqué des générations de migrations transatlantiques et témoignent des réalités propres aux outils de communication.

4. Translating Electronic Literature: A Few Conclusion, Methodologies and Insights

   Over a year and a half ago, a group of scholars, programmers, artists and translators started working on a research project focusing on the translation of various works of electronic literature, ranging from e-poetry (Maria Mencia’s The Poem That Crossed the Atlantic), digital database (Luís Lucas Pereira’s Machines of Disquiet), installation (Søren Pold et al’s The Poetry Machine), digital aurature (digital language art in programmable aurality) (John Cayley’s The Listeners) and hyperfiction (Michael Joyce’s afternoon, a story). In order to identify common and divergent issues depending on the genres, formats and languages of the works under study, they were all examined through the prism of the following concepts: Translinguistic translation (translation between languages), Transcoding (translation between machine-readable codes and between machine-readable codes and human-readable text), Transmedial translation (translation between medial modalities), and Transcreation (translation as a shared creative practice).
