Krisztina Kodó, Borka Richter: Preface to Freeside Europe Online Academic Journal Issue 8

Article

The articles featured in the current issue will take readers across time and cultures. The necessity to engage oneself with the thoughts, opinions and attitudes of the Other is, of course, an age-old one. The theme of translation as translation not only of texts but also of cultures is continued. Translation of translated poems, linking two cultures and languages as diverse as China/Chinese and Hungary/Hungarians forms the theme of one paper; whilst the Eastern connection continues with a look at the challenges, history and potential future of translation from Korean.
