Sample text
He points out that translation is what he terms a revitalization of the original in another time and space, hence the problems of both translation and literary history are ‘the problems of the relationship between origins and subsequentiality’ (Devy, 1998: 156). What Devy suggests is that the widely-held Anglo-American notion of the superiority of the original against the inferiority of translation – an issue that had finally been challenged by the Leuven group – was by no means a universally accepted position, but was rather another manifestation of a monolingual colonialist mentality.
Here Venuti is effectively building on Lefevere’s argument that the original, for most readers is a text brought to them via translation, a point to which he returns repeatedly. Lefevere developed his theory of rewriting from his earlier theory of ‘refraction’, defining it as a process of textual re-envisioning (Lefevere, 2000 [1982]). A writer’s work is always refracted, in Lefevere’s figurative use of the word, through a certain spectrum, it is received and interpreted against a particular background and in the case of a work that has moved across a linguistic frontier, the refractions will be multiplied.
Other forms of rewriting involve editing, anthologizing, compiling, abridging and a host of other writerly activities, not to mention film and performance versions of written texts, all of which exercise some form of power over a source text. Perhaps most crucially, the authors make the point that translation can never be divorced from its dual context: What the development of Translation Studies shows is that translation, like all (re)writings is never innocent. There is always a context in which the translation takes place, always a history from which a text emerges and into which a text is transposed.
