Literatura polska na Litwie (2014-2024) Panorama przekładów, strategie popularyzacji i specyfika recepcji
ENThis article provides a synthetic overview of Polish literature translated into Lithuanian between 2014 and 2024 in the Republic of Lithuania, as well as profiles of the most prominent translators and their translation activities undertaken in cooperation with local publishers. It also presents strategies for popularizing Polish fiction among diverse audiences (literature for adults, children, controversial literature, the case of Józef Mackiewicz’s prose). The discussion is cross- sectional in nature, situating translations from Polish against the backdrop of general development trends in the Lithuanian publishing market over the last decade of this century. The presentation of the most important and artistically interesting strategies for popularizing Polish fiction (meetings accompanying the promotion of translations, exhibitions, film adaptations of works, the latest comparative studies) leads to the revelation of the long-term culture-creating effects of translators’ activities (interest in the works of Witold Gombrowicz or Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz), resulting in an attempt to identify the local specificity of the reception of Polish literature in the Republic of Lithuania. Research based on publishing market studies, reviews, and evaluations of publication promotion strategies also takes into account artifacts from the field of commemorative art honoring Polish literary figures in Lithuania. Keywords: Polish literature, translations, Lithuania.
