Unlike other forms of parody, translation has a relatively recent history; early usages of the device can be seen in the work of the Viennese literary critic and journalist Karl Kraus , who claimed to translate from other journalists' — famously former friend Harden — and from ''Moskauderwelch'' — a derisive term for the highly elaborate Marxist Jargon of the time, a pun on ''Moskau'', Moscow, and ''Kauderwelch'', gibberish. Kraus' influence is notable in Karl Popper ; while translation of scientific theories into Verificationist terms had been a standard procedure in Logical Positivism for some time, Popper's criticism of several philosophers and scientists that failed to comply with his notion of the Scientific Method took a mocking quality reminiscent of the former. |
