Zulawnik focuses on the broad concept of 'controversy' and issues
pertaining to the translation of politically and historically
controversial texts in East Asia. The research methodology is
exemplified through a case study in the form of the author's
translation of the best-selling Japanese graphic novel (manga)
Manga Kenkanryu (Hate Hallyu: The Comic) by Sharin Yamano (2005), a
work that has been problematised as an attack on South Korean
culture and the Korean Wave. Issues analysed and discussed in the
research include translation risk, ethics, a detailed methodology
for the translation of so-called controversial texts exemplified
through numerous thematically divided examples from the translation
of the chosen Japanese text, as well as examples from a Korean
language equivalent (Manhwa Hyeomillyu - Hate Japanese Wave), and
definition and contextualisation of the concept of 'controversy'.
There has been limited research in the field of translation
studies, which seeks to exemplify potential pragmatic approaches
for the translation of politically-charged texts, particularly in
multi-modal texts such as the graphic novel. It is hoped that
Zulawnik's research will serve both as a valuable source when
examining South Korea-Japan relations and a theoretical and
methodological base for further research and the development of an
online augmented translation space with devices specifically suited
for the translation of multi-modal texts such as - but not limited
to - graphic novels and visual encyclopaedias.
