TURKISH LITERATURE IN JAPANESE
Abstract
This article gives an account of Turkish works translated into Japanese between 1925 and 2012. It is also an attempt to provide some answers, especially to the question concerning the reasons of the lack of interest for Turkish literature in Japan. The first part of this article sets out the theoretical framework. The second part outlines the literary exchange between Japan and Turkey. The third part presents the data collected regarding the published Turkish literature in Japanese by surveying the authors, publishers, translators and translated works as well as scrutinizing the translation activity and the forces that triggered it. The final part evaluates the position of the translated Turkish literature in the Japanese polysystem, based on the data
obtained from this research.
