Özet:

The Turkish reader recognizes the Nobel Prize-winning American writer William Faulkner (1897-1962), in the 1950s. If it is thought that about twenty works have been translated into Turkish, it can be said that the writer has taken an important place in today's Turkish literature and culture series. Among the works of Faulkner translated into Turkish, the novel Sanctuary (1931) is attracted because it is the only Faulkner text, which has three translations in total. The novel was first translated in 1961 by Ender Gürol under the name of the Holy Refuge. The following translation was made in 1967 by Özay Sunar and in 2007 by Necla Aytür under the name of the temple. The name of the novel has been interpreted differently in each translation and the work has been awarded to Turkish with three different names. The aim of this study is to illustrate the reasons why Faulkner's Sanctuary novel's three different translations into Turkish were made with different names. In the studies on the nameing of literary works, discussions are discussed on topics such as how to name the texts, the relationship between the text and the name, the function of the text names. The topics mentioned are not limited to the name of the authors, but also discussed in the context of the name of the translated works. For example, Maurizio Viezzi, who shares his opinions on how to name translations in his work titled "Titles and Translation", claims that the nameing of translations is not innocent (2013: 383). With this claim, in the framework of the work, the reasons for the names given to the translations of the Sanctuary novel into Turkish will be examined by text and non-text subjects.

Özet:

Turkish readers met Nobel Laureate, American author William Faulkner (1897-1962) for the first time in 1950s. Considering the fact that about twenty of Faulkner’s works have been translated so far, it is now possible to say that Faulkner has gained an important place in today’s Turkish literature. Among his translated works, the novel Sanctuary (1931) attracts more attention as the only Faulkner novel with three Turkish translations. The novel was translated into Turkish for the first time in 1961 as Kutsal Sığınak by Ender Gürol. The following translations were rendered in 1967 as Lekeli Günler by Özay Sunar, and in 2007 as Tapınak by Necla Aytür. Apparently, the title of the novel has been interpreted differently with each translation. With a descriptive approach, this paper aims to analyze why Faulkner’s novel Sanctuary (1931), which has been translated into Turkish three times, has been translated with a different title by each translator. There are various studies on the titles of literary works which discuss issues such as how to determine the title of a text, the relation between a text and its title, and the functions of titles. Similar issues are discussed also within the scope of translated titles. For example, in the article “Titles and Translation”, Maurizio Viezzi discusses how to translate titles and claims that “title translation is not innocent” (2013: 383). Taking this claim into consideration, this study aims to analyze the motives behind the translated titles of Sanctuary via intra-textual and extra-textual materials.
