Why is it important?
The article is intended to contribute to building more productive and innovative interfaces of corpus-based translation studies and literary translation studies in the digital humanities era, as well as to provide tools meant to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Perspectives
Our findings, based on the case study, indicate that paratexts are a rich source of useful and relevant data on the literary translator’s identity discourse, as well as on the normative behaviour/professional heredity and the individual translator’s agency. Accordingly, the value of paratexts lies in allowing for the integrated exploration of the sociocultural, psychological, and cognitive dimensions of the literary translator’s activity (identity, roles, knowledge, and attitudes, values) while contributing to charting new territories in terms of methodological toolkits.
