The interaction of genres in memoir-autobiographical texts and its influence on translation

The object of the research is the complex genre nature of original and translated memoir-autobiographical texts. The author examines in detail the features of the original text resulting from the interaction of genres characteristic of memoir-autobiographical texts, as well as the patterns of their transmission in the translation process. The original and translated texts of B. Clinton's autobiography "My Life" are used as the research material. The issue of boundaries between the genres of memoirs and autobiography is touched upon, since their correlation with the phenomenon of genre interaction determines the representativeness of the studied material. The violations of the adequacy and equivalence of the translation identified during the comparative analysis are analyzed. Explanations of possible causes of translation errors are considered. Other translation options are offered, which take into account the complex genre nature of the original text.   The continuous sampling method is used to select material from the original and translated texts. In the future, a comparative analysis of this material is carried out. The scientific novelty of this study is due to the fact that, despite the interest of researchers in the phenomenon of genre hybridization in biography, memoirs and autobiography, at the moment its influence on translation has been poorly studied. At the same time, memoirs and autobiographies are of particular interest from the point of view of translation studies. This is due to the fact that idiostyle, refracted in various genre forms, turns out to be significant for the realization of the communicative intent of the author's narrative of himself. The main conclusion of the study is that the difficulty for translators lies not the switching of genres itself, but the resulting heterogeneity of the text, which complicates the work with special vocabulary, means of expressive language and markers of socio-cultural conditions of the time. Translators encounter these difficulties regularly, but in the context of hybridization, which refracts the author's idiostyle, in order to achieve the adequacy of the translation, the translator requires great concentration in analyzing the text.
