转换性形象:跨文化建构文学形象的理论视角

Trans-Image:Theoretical Perspectives of Constructing Cross-Cultural Literary Image

转换性形象涉及文学史、文学评论及翻译文学中有关民族的、国家的"他形象"和"自我形象",在动态的历史语境中加以理解,不采纳本质主义观点,也拒绝任何关于国家刻板印象的他者假定,真实描述"他形象"与"自我形象"。该研究注意形象识别,并将转换性形象与文学翻译放在一个体系内加以考察,既研究文学翻译的行为方式与翻译策略对转换性形象的建构意义,也研究转换性形象对文学翻译结构与形态的潜在作用。该研究突出三个层面:主客体关系,形象转化方式,跨语言诉求。

Trans-image involves in ＂other image＂ and ＂self-image＂ of a people or a nation represented in litera- ture history, reviews and translations, which can be understood in the dynamic context. It provides a real de- scription of ＂other image＂ and ＂self-image＂, neglecting the view of essentialism and other assumption of nation- al stereotype. The study of trans-image emphasizes the identification of image, studying trans-image and literary translation in the same system. Both the roles that translation behaviors and strategies play in trans-image con- structing and the functions that trans-image construct the structures and forms of literary translation are observed. It prompts three levels： subjects and objects, trans-image approaches, cross-language requirements.
