First published in 1802, it was so widely imitated by later Russian poets that it came to be regarded as a "landmark of Russian literature", not only at a boundary between two cultures (English and Russian) but also at a boundary within Russian culture itself—the transition from Neoclassical to Romantic aesthetics. Zhukovskij's translation of Gray can be read as the end result of a long process of personal education in the sign system of Sentimentalism, in both its European and its Russian variants, which then reproduced itself in an impersonal way within his culture as a whole. Zhukovskij did not merely reinscribe Gray's poem into Russian. Rather, he used it to deploy the developing Russian Sentimentalist (Karamzinist) style within a wide range of lyric registers, thereby providing models for other Russian lyric poets. In this sense, his work exemplifies Juri Lotman's dictum that "the elementary act of thinking is translation"—it made it possible for Russian poets to think within an entirely new, though by no means foreign system of signs. Vassili Žukovski Sel'skoe Kladbištše, tõlge Thomas Gray teosest Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, asub vene kirjandusajaloos erilisel kohal. Teose esmatrükk avaldati 1802. aastal ning leidis hilisemate vene poeetide seas nii laialdast jäljendamist, et seda hakati pidama üheks vene kirjanduse verstapostiks", mis ei tähistanud mitte ainult kahe kultuuri (vene ja inglise) vahelist piiri, vaid ka piiri vene kultuuris endas—üleminekut neoklassitsistlikult esteetikalt romantilisele. Žukovski Graytõlget võib lugeda kui ühe üksikisiku sentimentalismi märgisüsteemi (nii euroopa kui vene) tudeerimise protsessi lõppsaadust, mis siis hiljem ennast tema kodukultuuris tervikuna taaslõi. Žukovski ei pannud Gray luuleteost lihsalt vene keelde ümber. Ta kasutas tõlget kui töövahendit, rakendamaks vene sentimentalistlikku (karamzinistlikku) stiili kõige laiemal võimalikul lüüriliste registrite skaalal, luues nii eeskuju kõigile vene poeetidele. Selles mõttes on Žukovski tõlge heaks illustratsiooniks Juri Lotmani kuulsale lausele "tõlge on elementaarseim mõtlemise akt"—ta tõlge võimaldas vene poeetidel mõelda täiesti uues, ent ometi mitte võõras märgisüsteemis. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Sign Systems Studies is the property of University of Tartu and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
