ABSTRACT:
Interview with Itamar Even-Zohar on the subject of the polysystem theory of interlocking cultures and its applicability to comparative literary study and translation studies. Full text at URL above (NB: CLC is an on-line jourmal). ** Extract: ** The following is an interview by Dora Sales Salvador (University Jaume I of Castellón) with literary and culture theorist Itamar Even-Zohar of Tel Aviv University. Even-Zohar's research, teaching, and publications are in culture research with focus on articulating and developing the polysystem theory in order to illucidate the dynamics and heterogeneity of culture. In this context, Even-Zohar concentrates on interactions between culture(s) and the processes of the "making" of culture(s) and cultural entities such as "nations". Since his 1972 Ph.D. dissertation entitled An Introduction to the Theory of Literary Translation (Tel Aviv University), Even-Zohar has been developing a theoretical and methodological framework he terms "polysystem theory" and has concentrated on the application of the framework in the study of translation, intended to account for translation as a complex and dynamic activity governed by system relations rather than by a priori fixed parameters of comparative language capabilities. Subsequently, this notion has led to his studies on literary interference, understood in the context of intercultural relations.
