Reflections Regarding the Application of the Skopostheorie in Translating Judiciary Texts
Belonging to Early Modernity from the National Archives of Sibiu
Translation theory has entered a new paradigm when defining translation as action determined by a purpose and by placing the translator in the center of the translation process, allowing him a much larger degree of freedom within the borders of a
rigourously defined practice. This paradigm shift has also brought about the replacing of the concept of equivalence with that of adequacy, thus enabling the translator a more creative approach to the text. The skopos theory might contribute to bridging the
gap between theory and practice in the field of translation. The article intends to briefly describe the most important aspects of the skopos theory and to discuss its possible applicability in the translation of a corpus of texts representing witness depositions
and court records of the witch trials in Sibiu, Transylvania, during the 17th century, at the hight of the witch persecutions. A short description of the specific aspects of Transylvanian witch trials will also be included.
Keywords: skopos theory, translation studies, court records, witch trials, Transylvania, Sibiu, archive documents
