W pułapce intertekstualności. O potencjalnym przekładzie powieści Rot (Hunger) Senthurana Varatharajaha

The researcher assumes that not all references to earlier texts should be defined as intertextual. Based on a functional criterion, she considers intertextual references that enrich or constitute the semantics of a text to be intertextual references that are relevant to translation theory and practice. The aims of this article are, firstly, to examine the sense-making role of intertextual references in the 2022 novel Rot (Hunger) by the Sri Lankan German-language writer Senthuran Varatharajah, and, secondly, to identify the difficulties facing a potential translator.
