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.

Instances of Intertextuality in Translating Brand Names into Chinese

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。

阐释与解构:论海耶斯对《西游记》的译介

在《西游记》英译本中,海伦·M.海耶斯的译本《佛教徒的天路历程》因其充满了暗引、对比、评述等非原著内容,而令学界在其类别归属上莫衷一是。本文认为,海耶斯译本采用了“译”“评”“著”相结合的译介策略,在多重权力话语交织的话语语境中,通过建立互文关系、重塑人物形象、删减情节等策略,实现了对《西游记》独特阐释与解构,该译本也因此对中国文学典籍初入异域文化及其传播具有积极的启发意义。

秦腔唱词英译的互文性关照——以《杨门女将》英译本为例

秦腔,作为中国西北地区的一种传统戏剧,其唱词既涵盖了古典辞赋、民间歌谣、话本小说、说唱文学,又与西北乡土文化水乳交融,具有极强的互文性特征。从互文性角度出发,基于秦腔《杨门女将》译本之化用、音韵、意象、典故、方言等英译的互文性关照,尝试提出以传播中国传统文化为目的的秦腔互文性翻译框架,为秦腔翻译研究提供新的方法,助力中国传统文化的对外传播。
