معرفی
Veronika Horáčková serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of German, Nordic and Dutch Studies at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, Brno. Her responsibilities include teaching Dutch language and literature courses while conducting research on literary translation dynamics between Dutch and Czech contexts. She actively contributes to academic governance as a member of the Program Board for both the Dutch Language, Literature and Culture (Bachelor's) and Translation of Modern European Languages (Master's) degree programs.
Her research centers on Translation Studies with emphasis on Dutch-Czech literary translation practices, historical reception of Dutch authors in Czechia, and translator training methodologies. Key focus areas include the 75-year reception history of Felix Timmermans' works, adaptation strategies for authors like Antoon Coolen, and the influence of literary funding bodies on translation production. She examines how cultural and linguistic specificities shape cross-border literary circulation in Central Europe.
Horáčková's scholarly trajectory reveals consistent engagement with practical and theoretical translation challenges. Recent publications analyze 20th-21st century Dutch literary reception patterns in Czechia, contemporary translator training needs, and the viability of intermediate-language translation approaches. Her work bridges academic research with professional translation practice through artistic realizations and workshop leadership.
