Resumen: The translation of Inazo Nitobe's Bushido: the Soul of Japan (1905) by Millán-Astray, the founder of the Spanish Foreign Legion (1941), has been studied from the point of view of the contexts, pretexts and texts of the source text (ST) and the translated text (TT). Nitobe's context and pretext meant that his discourse was primarily one of cultural mediation, an attempt to build bridges between East and West, but also to strengthen the position of Japan. Millán-Astray's context and pretext meant that his discourse was intended to inspire the youth of Spain, but also, and this was even more important, to strengthen Franco's regime and give prestige to the Spanish Foreign Legion. The pretexts of both author and translator can be found in the paratextual elements of the ST (1905) and the TT (1941). However, both texts have been re-edited several times in different formats, without the original introductions and prologues and this raises the question of how the inclusion or omission of this information may affect the reader's interpretation of text as discourse.

Resumen: "The acclaimed Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood published The Edible Woman in 1969 when feminism was becoming an influential trend in North America. Although this story has a radical feminist voice, The Edible Woman was translated by a male translator, Oura Akio, in 1996, and his language choice for the protagonist is excessively feminine. (...) In the Japanese translation, readers are likely to find a contradictory figure in Marian and she seems to be happy to use impeccable women's language given and promoted by male-dominant authorities. (...) This fact interferes with the novel's feminist purpose. I therefore examine the effect of Maian's language use in the Japanese translation from a reader-response theory and a relevance theory point of view."

Resumen: This presentation is divided into four parts: 1) The style in which the subjectless introductory sentence in Yasunari Kawabata's "Snow Country" has been translated into English definitely requires scrutiny. 2) The Americanized Huraki Murakami never uses any haiku-like subjectless sentences. 3) Although Kawabata scatters haiku-like flashes across his work, he does this calculatedly so that the scattered images are closely connected in a manner exclusive to the Japanese tradition. 4) Kawabata's texts, which are based on traditional Japanese culture have been trated as untouchable artifacts, while Murakami's texts have been substantially modified for publication in the United States.

Resumen: This article proposes a skopos-based analysis of the English translations of the eleventh century Japanese literary work, Genji monogatari ("The Tale of Genji") as a means of understanding the basis for the translations' differing receptions among their target audiences. The translations, by Suematsu Kencho, Arthur Waley, Edward Seidensticker and Royall Tyler, are widely spaced chronologically, being published between 1888-2001, and were each produced with differing audiences and aims, thus making them a useful corpus for this analysis. In addition, all of the translators have written, with varying degrees of explicitness, about their motivations and purposes in conducting their translations. First, through an analysis of the translators' writings, introductions, and individual circumstances, the article will demonstrate how the skopos for each translation can be determined. Second, through an analysis and comparison of text excerpts, it will demonstrate how the skopos influenced the translation choices of the individual translators, with material being, for example, omitted, changed in psychological tone, or rendered more explicit, depending upon the individual translator's overriding purpose in their work. Finally, through an analysis of the reviews of the various translations, it will consider the extent to which each translator was successful in achieving a positive and intended response to his translation in the target audience.
