Özet:

 The theoretical work Opera Aperta by Umberto Eco has been incorporated into the Turkish literary canon through four different translations, with the first being an indirect translation from French into Turkish. The book had a great repercussion both in its own country and in the countries, it reached through translation. The same effect has been created by its translations in Turkey. The initial two sections of the study examine the publication and translation processes of Açık Yapıt in Turkey. In the aforementioned work, Umberto Eco attempts to elucidate the poetics and concept of open work by employing the theories of social sciences and physical sciences. He draws upon a multitude of fields, including quantum physics, mathematics, information theory, aesthetics, plastic arts, music, and cinema. One of the most important problems encountered in the translation of such an interdisciplinary theoretical work is undoubtedly the translation of terms. The present study analyses the terminology employed in the chapter headings and subheadings of Opera Aperta and its three Turkish translations, with particular attention to terminology standardization. The terms included in the main headings and subheadings are comparatively analysed along with their translations in the aforementioned books three translations derived from the Italian original. The findings indicate that three of the eight main headings and only one of the twenty nine subheadings ensure the terminology standardization. The terms for which there is no terminology standardization are listed and analysed within the context of Terminological Need and Creativity Levels Scheme developed by Sündüz Öztürk Kasar. The number of terms that have more than one counterpart in Turkish indicates that the terminology standardization has not been achieved in the field of social science theory. Based on the interpretation of the findings within the framework of standardization of terminology and the evaluations related to the translation process, this paper discusses the qualities that translators of theoretical texts should possess.

 Umberto Econun kuramsal nitelikteki eseri Opera Aperta ilki Fransızca ara dilden olmak üzere dört farklı çeviri ile Türk edebiyat dizgesinde yer bulmuştur. Hem kendi ülkesinde hem de çeviri yoluyla ulaştığı ülkelerde büyük yankı uyandıran eser, ülkemizde çevirileriyle bir tartışma alanı yaratmıştır. Çalışmanın ilk iki bölümünde Açık Yapıtın yayın süreci ve ülkemizdeki çeviri süreci ele alınmaktadır. Söz konusu eserinde sosyal bilimler ve fen bilimleri kuramlarından yararlanarak açık yapıt poetikasını ve kavramını anlatmayı amaçlayan Eco, kuantum fiziği, matematik, bilgi kuramı, estetik, plastik sanatlar, müzik ve sinema gibi birçok alandan yararlanmıştır. Disiplinlerarası nitelikteki böyle bir kuramsal eserin çevirisinde karşılaşılan en önemli sorunlardan biri şüphesiz terim çevirilerinde yaşanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada araştırma nesnelerimiz Opera Aperta ve kaynak dilden yapılan üç Türkçe çevirisinin bölüm başlıkları ve alt başlıklarında yer alan terimler, terim birliği bağlamında incelenmektedir. Çalışmada bölümlerin ana başlık ve alt başlıklarında yer alan terimler listelenerek İtalyanca kaynak dilden yapılan üç çeviri metinde karşılıkları bulunmuştur. Sekiz ana başlıktan üçünde, yirmi dokuz başlıktan yalnızca birinde terim birliği sağlandığı görülmüştür. Terim birliği sağlanmayan başlıklarda yer alan terimler listelenerek Sündüz Öztürk Kasarın geliştirdiği Terimsel Gereksinim ve Yaratıcılık Düzeyleri Şeması bağlamında analiz edilmiştir. Birden fazla karşılığı olan terim sayısı düşünüldüğünde Türkçede, sosyal bilimler kuramlarında terim birliği sağlanamadığı görülmektedir. Çeviri süreciyle ilgili değerlendirmeler ve terim birliği bağlamında elde edilen bulgular yorumlandığında kuramsal metin çevirmenlerinin sahip olması gereken niteliklere yer verilmiştir.
