The The Wind Knows the Answer. Ideological Transformations of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” in Polish
Jakub Antosz-Rekucki
Аннотация
“Blowin’ in the Wind” is considered to be one of the lyrics most representative of Bob Dylan’s songwriting and is the one most frequently translated into Polish among the American poet’s texts. This article analyses the ideological and poetological transformations of the original in its melic translations into Polish, demonstrating that its arguably key features (including engagement with social activism and use of Biblical allusions) underwent dramatic shifts to fit the constraints of target culture expectations and the needs and values of respective translators.
