In its first year, the research project was conducted according to the research plan with flexible adjustments and revisions. From April 2019 to June 2019, the focus was on examining early forms and recent theories of authorship and translation in medieval and early modern thinking. In July, I presented the results of my former research on experimental forms of translation in contemporary German poetry at the conference on New Horizons of Translation in Contemporary Poetry, held at Kobe University, hosted together with the DFG - Centre for Advanced Studies “Lyric in Transition”. This led to the invitation to two further conferences at Waseda University in October, and the Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow in December. In August and September, I did a research stay in Germany, which formed the groundwork for a contribution to the prestigious De Gruyter series Grundthemen der Literaturwissenschaft I completed from October 2019 to March 2020. The essay addresses the framework of my research project: In the theory of authorship, the translator has taken a surprisingly marginal role, especially if one considers that the history of the emancipation of authorship has always been a history of freeing the translation from the original text. The project explores the question of how in speaking and being with and through the words of the Other, the writing-subject discovers its creative autonomy and at the same time initiates the process of self-constitution as author.
