![]() To further emphasise this point, Ginsberg marries and associates religion with politics, a clearly mundane concept with higher power. It essentially backs the concept of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), while expressing the notion that Heaven is not superior to humans and implies that Heaven is everywhere around us. This can be seen in line 89 of Howl, ‘They broke their backs lifting Moloch to Heaven! Pavements, trees, radios, tons! lifting the city to Heaven which exists and is everywhere about us!’ Moloch is the name of an ancient Hebrew god, seen in scripture. He explores this by humanizing divine concepts. Ginsberg challenges the traditional dogma, wanting communion with a higher power. A mystic is defined as a person who claims to attain, or believes in the possibility of attaining, insight into mysteries transcending ordinary human knowledge, as by direct communication with the divine or immediate intuition in a state of spiritual ecstasy. To offer a little more context and specification: Ginsberg while could be very likely be considered a religious poet, could be even more distinctly considered a mystic poet. ![]()

He completed a Masters Degree in Theatre at Ohio University, after which he obtained a Master of Arts Degree in Mass Communication. He worked as a bank clerk, a teacher and in marketing before the publication of We Shall Sing for the Fatherland and Other Plays in 1980 enabled him to be admitted to the Ohio University for a three-year Master's degree in theatre. His first play, We Shall Sing for the Fatherland, won the first Amstel Playwright of the Year Award in 1978, a feat he repeated the following year. Consequently Mda preferred to write his first plays in English. This change of setting also meant a change of language for Mda: from isiXhosa to Sesotho.

In addition, subtitles are usually shorter and more concise than the source text due to spatial and temporal constraints. According to Dias Cintas and Remael (2007), dialectal grammar is almost always standardized in subtitles. We analyse and compare how African American English in Alice Walker's The Color Purple was translated into Croatian in the book Boja purpurna and the movie Boja purpura. This study aims to explore how literary translators and subtitlers deal with this challenge. One such example is Alice Walker’s usage of dialectal language in The Color Purple, in which the main character speaks African American English.Īs dialects are associated with either a specific geographical region or a social class, they pose a challenge to translators.
