Understanding Misunderstanding. Vol. 2: Artistic Practices

The book is focused on the concrete literary representations of misunderstanding. Although most case studies refer to Polish culture, the results of the presented research are relevant to broader cultural issues. The contributors explore misunderstanding as a purposeful artistic strategy.

The objective of this book is to continue the reflection on the innovative potential of misunderstanding in　cross-cultural encounters　which we started by publishing the first part of the book (Understanding Misunderstanding. Vol. 1: Cross-Cultural Translation, Peter Lang 2019). The main purpose of these two corresponding volumes is to embrace not only the cross-cultural adaptation of texts, ideas and discourses in distant geo-historical contexts, but also the culturally-based mechanisms of creatively transforming and re-shaping the source-text in target environments. The notions of misunderstanding and semantic transformation are seen as crucial in this process, yet still not widely acknowledged.
