Quotations and Paraphrases from Halmet in the Hungarian Translations of Joyce's Ulysses

In this paper, the author sets to analyse parts of James Joyce’s Ulysses from the perspective of translation studies, in the light of intertextualities that can be paralleled with Shakespeare’s Hamlet. In addition to the systematization of quotations and paraphrases of Shakespeare’s work identified in Ulysses, the author analyses passages that highlight an intertextual relationship between Ulysses and Hamlet. This observation occurs at different linguistic levels of the Hungarian language. For a scholarly approach to the practice of translation, the author recommends including translations from Shakespeare (Hamlet) in the discourse, highlighting the questions of translation and (re)translatability associated with it. The author’s curiosity lies in the linguistic, literary, and stylistic differences and equivalences between the source text and the target text.
