The Translation of Allusions in Political Discourse:An Intertextuality Perspective

drawn from ancient classics are the treasures of traditional Chinese culture.The allusions used in Xi Jinping:The Governance of China illustrate a distinctive feature of political discourse,and the publication of its English version provides a valuable opportunity for the study of allusions in translated political discourse.With the English translations of 241 allusions collected from two volumes of the book,we classified these allusions into three categories of history,culture,and literature based on their original sources.Then we analyzed the strategies used in translating the allusions,and provided typical examples to illustrate the use of such translation strategies for each category.Finally,we tried to account for the use of these strategies in light of the intertextuality theory.

“There is Always The Other Side”: Deconstruction of English Identity and Masculinity——Intertextuality between Wide Sargasso Sea and Jane Eyre

Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea is the classic revisionary novella of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. It rewrites the tragic story of Mr. Rochester's voiceless and lunatic ex-wife, Berthe Mason. This paper turns to the intertextual relationship between the two texts and argues that the subversive rewriting of Wide Sargasso Sea destabilizes and deconstructs Mr. Rochester's English identity and masculinity, which are manifestly presented in the pre-text. It therefore renders the young Mr. Rochester problematic and insufficient, reveals"the other side"of the story and articulately tells the truth about who is really the mad one.

A Study of Specific Intertextuality in English Print Advertisements

互文性理论是当代西方后现代主义文化思潮中产生出来的一种文本理论。自从1969年法国学者朱莉娅·克里斯特瓦提出"互文"这一概念以来,互文研究在文学批评、翻译等许多领域得到了长足发展,但是,尽管实用语篇诸如广告语篇中存在着普遍的互文现象,有关实用语篇方面的互文研究依然非常少。本文运用互文分析理论,对平面广告中的细节互文现象进行分析,着重研究互文性在平面广告中的表现形式,语篇功能等。

Intertextuality Revisited:Reflections on Subject in Process,Textual Analysis and Reading/Writing Behavior in Cyberspace

Often regarded as one crucial concept in the current of poststructrualistic thought,intertextuality is influential with regard to its application in discursive perspective and literary criticism.This paper argues that the notion should also be understood in the theoretical backdrop of how the concept of subject is constructed in the 1960s.Two critics are specifically mentioned in the discussion:Julia Kristeva’s psychoanalytic understanding of the subject in process that stresses the transpositions of signs in both textual and contextual meanings complicates the once delimited register of textuality,while Roland Barthes,with his claim of the demise of the author,appeals for a reevaluation of the conventional grasp of the idea of the writer and the reader,and their relations with the text.This paper will conclude with one of the most significant derivations of intertextuality—hypertextuality.Relevant to how modern subjects in the era of digitalization read and write,this latter concept materializes,in cyberspace,the documents of printed media,and substantially demonstrates the liquification of information on the Internet.

Intertextuality in The Sound and the Fury

Instances of Intertextuality in Translating Brand Names into Chinese

Many international brands have a phenomenal Chinese name which,paradoxically,comes from a rather prosaic name.The reason for this may lie in the fact that they need an outstanding translation of their names in order to be successful in international marketing.Hence the translation of brand names is an important part of the advertisement.And a good translation is expected to bridge the differences of cultures,languages,spending habits,thinking patterns,etc.

＂Historical Rewriting＂ and ＂Alternative Fairy Tales＂ in Contemporary Vietnamese Prose： Intertextuality or Incredulity Towards Grand Narratives

At the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century, Vietnamese literature witnessed unprecedented innovations in the aesthetic thinking of writers and the narrative structure of their works. One of the most interesting manifestations of this new movement was not merely the introduction of new aesthetic materials and factors, but the adoption and positive ＂reprocessing＂ of traditional factors---especially historical factors and folk narrative factors. Based on intertextual theory, we would like to address the strong penetration, reproduction, and transformation of some folk storytelling models and historical materials in Vietnamese literature since 1986. Two corresponding phenomena we examine are ＂historical rewriting＂ and ＂alternative fairy tales＂--as part of the whole process of incredulity towards grand narratives and postmodernism in the contemporary Vietnamese prose.

Subversion of Patriarchy： Intertextuality in Carol Ann Duffy＇s The WorM＇s Wife

The WorM＇s Wife （1999）, written by Carol Ann Duffy, who is the first woman and first openly LGBT person appointed Britain＇s poet Laureate, is a collection of poems which makes full use of intertextuality to show Duffy＇s subversion to patriarchy. In this collection, histories and myths are parodied, quoted, alluded and even rewritten. Women in her poems are given chances to speak out for themselves, which can be seen as a form of resistance against patriarchy. In this article, constitutive intertextuality as well as manifest intertextuality like parody, quotation and allusion in The WorM＇s Wife will be discussed specifically. By analyzing how those intertextual features are adopted as a form of resistance against patriarchy, this article aims to help readers form a better perception of the feminism Duffy raises, and tries to help more women who are being suppressed by men, to find and reconstruct their identities.

《达·芬奇密码》的法律突围之路

他者、杂糅与翻译:后现代视域下英汉融合双关语翻译研究

后现代思潮对异质性、互文性的强调在翻译研究中掀起了一场全方位的认知革命。解构主义、后殖民主义、女权主义翻译观使翻译研究者开始关注传统翻译互动中两种类型的“他者”:传统二元等级结构中作为弱势群体的“他者”和在二元临界地带流浪的游离性“他者”。长期以来,翻译学界对第一类“他者”给予了充分的关注,但对处于二元临界地带流浪的游离性“他者”并未引起足够的重视。作为游离性“他者”在文本层面的典型体现,英汉融合双关语这一新型杂糅文本逐渐兴起并已进入中国大众的日常生活,却并未在学界得到应有的关注。该类文本不可通约的“他者性”和“创造性”特质有利于人们重新思考翻译的定义、可译性和翻译伦理问题,为后现代翻译研究提供新的视角。
