Przekład w perspektywie awangardowości

Abstract

Avant-garde is a kind of precursor that precedes some fundamental change. Translation can provoke such a change in the host literature, pre-senting works that have the potential to make a turn in it, or it can become revolutionary in the art of translation. The avant-garde function of Polish literature in Slovenia is fuzzy. It is present in the minds of some authors although they do not exhibit it in an explicit way. Therefore, it is not possible to assign its translations an avant-garde role in the interwar period, which abounded with stormy transformations of European art and not only. The Polish historical avant-garde was unknown to the reader, and the poetry of one of the central poetic groups, the Krakow Avant-Garde, has remained so. The transla-tions of avant-garde prose and drama of that time are late to fulfill such a function because they only appeared after the 1970s.
