Migrazione ucraina prebellica: proposta di traduzione della raccolta Tu już nie jest się takim jak wszyscy. 1° i 101° dzień Ukraińców w Polsce, a cura di R. Kupidura

This thesis explores the Ukrainian migratory experience in Poland before 2022 by analysing the anthology Tu już nie jest się takim jak wszyscy. 1° i 101° dzień Ukraińców w Polsce, edited by Ryszard Kupidura. The study combines a sociopolitical analysis of the migration context with the practical work of literary translation. The research adopts a multidisciplinary approach, bridging the study of Polish migration policies with translational analysis. A key part of the research material was gathered through a structured interview with the book's editor, aimed at reconstructing the project's origins as a "snapshot" of pre-war reality. By translating three selected short stories (by Rudak, Antoščuk, and Artjuščenko), the study identifies the main challenges in translating from Polish and Ukrainian into Italian, specifically regarding cultural realia, diminutives, and regionalisms. The analysis highlights a time gap between when the stories were written (pre-2022) and how they are read today, turning what were originally everyday narratives into historical and testimonial documents. Ultimately, this work shows how literary translation serves as a vital tool for understanding the identity shifts of a migrant population in transition.
