Riddles and conundrums are what inspires me and what has led me to Translation Studies; every text and every narrative is a system that has to be understood, dissected, and then reassembled in the target language.
My main specialty - both in literary and AV translation - is speculative fiction. That allows me to use my expertise in the fields of translation and experimental archaeology.
I focus on self development in all of the areas - my work, Translation Studies, and my hobbies (reenactment, speculative fiction, and crafts) that actually are helpful when translating texts set in historical or quasi-historical settings. Even though my hobbies are about the past, I am also a huge fan of science-fiction and speculative fiction as a whole. In fact, in my dissertation I have presented how sci-fi retains a certain level of verisimilitude and what does it mean for the Translation Theory when applied to the genre; the dissertation received a distinction as one of the few best works that year.
