文化“他者”翻译的权力政治研究

On Power Politics of Translating Cultural “Other”

受福柯后现代权力观的启发,翻译的政治可分为翻译的权力政治与翻译的抵抗政治。翻译场作为自我与他者接触的公共空间,跨文化行为受权力差异结构的影响。强势自我往往在与他者关联和对立的过程中通过控制翻译方向性、文化审查、归化文化"他者"和对"他者"进行"他者化"表征等机制行使权力政治,以此建构、巩固预设的权力结构关系,并以"他者"为镜建构身份认同。

Enlightened by Foucault＇ s view of power, there are two forms of politics, namely, the power politics of translation and the resistance politics of translation. Translation field acts as a public space for Self and Other and the different cross-cul- tural behavior will be affected by the structure of power differentials. Strong Self exercises power on weak Other through the following mechanisms： controlling directionality of translation, exercising cultural censorship, domesticating cultural other and representing an othering-oriented cultural Other. Such efforts, on one hand, are aimed to construct and reinforce a presupposed structural power relation, and on the other hand to construct cultural identity with Other as a mirror.
