The Editors 6 A VIEW OF PAGE VS. STAGE TRANSLATION Gabriela DIMA1 Abstract The paper highlights aspects of translating dramatic texts and the concepts commented upon focus on the features of page and stage translations, with their limits and common borders, as illustrated in a fragment from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Key words: drama translation, drama translator’s roles, dramatic texts, performability, naturalness Introduction The binary opposition announced within the title anticipates our discussion of some concepts that are accepted as givens by various specialists in the domain of drama translation. To the date, the two poles of the opposition have been a matter of much debate among theorists and practitioners, publishers and artistic directors alike, dealing with either scholarly, academic translation, concerned with studying the play at the level of semantic and syntactic units of language or with translation that focuses on the dramatic impact and mise-en-scène. These cross-interdisciplinary approaches show the intricate, long process from page to stage that a translator must follow and the many facet-roles he is attributed with along the way. Drama translator’s roles Drama translators should be well acquainted not only with the linguistic system of the source language, but also with all the translation variants of the play he has to translate, “with its genesis and its première, its subsequent production history, in order to gain an awareness of what will be required of the new version when it reaches the stage” (Meech in Baines et al 2011: 126). 1 Professor, PhD, Dunărea de Jos University of Galaţi, Romania, [email protected] 7 Translation Studies: Retrospective and Prospective Views Year XII Vol.22 2019 Furthermore, the drama translator must consider story, subject or character first, and then, find the linguistic means with which to convey them. Johnston states that the communication of character and situation are key to effective translation, since “actors […] are constantly searching for the emotional truths of their character, forever exploring motivation, hidden agendas and emotional turning points” (2004: 36). As it can be noticed, the translator is not only the initiator of the creative process, but he also provides access to the source culture and the source text through the processes of adaptation and staging, offering opportunities of a cross-cultural exchange, taking into account the specificity of its complex dynamics of location, temporality, situation and participants. This chain of actions will have as a result what Bassnett calls cooperative translation whose protagonists are the translator, the director, the actors, with the translator acquiring different roles: “[…] from the fidus interpres who produces a reader-oriented translation concerned with the philological exactness of language to the theatre-maker, who produces a stage-oriented translation concerned with audience reception” (Perteghella 2004: 6, 12). Pavis states that “The translator is a dramaturg who must first of all effect a macrotextual translation, that is, a dramaturgical analysis of the fiction conveyed by the text”(1989: 27). Other specialists consider that the theatre translator is a cultural mediator, (Bassnett 1998, Aaltonen 2000), negotiating meaning between the two cultures. The set of roles ascribed to a drama translator is completed by that of co-adapter who finally decides on the linguistic characteristics of the adaptation in order to assure and maintain the overall coherence of the dramatic text. We can eventually state that the roles are overlapping, assigning the translator-co-adapter-cultural mediator with more power in the long process from page to stage (Rose, Martinetti in Baines et al 2011: 152). Features of dramatic texts These roles help the translator in choosing the best translation methods in achieving the performability, naturalness and breathability of the dramatic text. Seen from the perspective of stage translation, the term performability means more than stageability, being a very controversial term, varying from culture to culture, period to period, text type to text 8 Translation Studies: Retrospective and Prospective Views Year XII Vol.22 2019 type and depending often on the economic policies of theatrical systems. The theatre and publishing industries determine what is ‘performable’ in response to what they believe audiences wish to see, as the French director Jacques Lassalle declares ’’It is the period in history, as much as the individual, that determines translation.’’ (1982:12,) translators being only likely to translate texts that conform with publishing and production systems. Naturalness is another basic term, used sometimes as a synonym to speakability, meaning the

  • The Study on Indirect Translation in Chinese Translation History from A
    2017 3rd International Conference on Social Science and Management (ICSSM 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-445-5 The Study on Indirect Translation in Chinese Translation History From a Cultural Perspective Yue SUN Department of Arts and Science, Chengdu College of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, Sichuan, China [email protected] Keywords: Indirect Translation, Culture, Direct Translation. Abstract. In comparison with direct translation, indirect translation has its own reasons and values of coming into being and existence. Though indirect translation is not as popular as it used to be in the past, it has played an important role in Chinese history of translation and would not disappear absolutely in the stage of translation with its unique characteristics. This paper tends to study indirect translation from a cultural perspective. Introduction of Indirect Translation Indirect Translation is a term used to denote the procedure whereby a text is not translated directly from an original ST, but via an intermediate translation in another language [1]. Indirect translation can also be called intermediate translation, mediated translation, retranslation or second-hand translation interchangeably. According to Toury, such a procedure is of course NORM-governed, and different literary systems will tolerate it to varying extents [2,3]. Indirect translation refers to translation from another language version rather than the original book. Some people may name indirect language as medium language translation. For example, Aesop’s Fables was first translated into Chinese from its English version in 1840, which had a profound effect and spread wide in our country; in the year 1955 Zhou Zuoren translated Aesop’s Fables from Greek.

Translation technology evaluation research Stephen Doherty Abstract Central to the successful research, developMent and application of translation technology is its evaluation. Accordingly, there has been a growing deMand to evaluate translation technologies based on the systeMatic and rigorous application of scientific Methods to assess their design, developMent and outcoMes. Diverse needs of different stakeholders have led to a proliferation of evaluation Methods and Measures involving huMan- and Machine-based approaches that are used across acadeMia and industry research contexts. The chapter provides a critical description of conteMporary direct and indirect translation technology evaluation research in order to identify trends, eMerging issues, and potential solutions. It traces advances Made in the field to date and indicates reMaining gaps calling for further work. The author anticipates future research in the field to be able to deliver more standardized and inclusive approaches towards More Meaningful and nuanced evaluation indicators for the different stakeholders involved in the process and products of translation.

Multimedia products such as films, documentaries, TV series, etc. need to be translated into other languages in order to reach a wider audience and to increase their popularity and consumption. Audiovisual materials can be translated by means of subtitling or dubbing. No matter which method is adopted, the translation of the source text has to be realized by implementing a number of translation techniques, such as literal translation, reduction or modulation. In the present thesis, these translation methods and techniques will be explored through a contrastive analysis of the Spanish translation of the English film The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Key words: Audiovisual translation, polysemiotic, contrastive analysis, translation methods, translation techniques, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Resumen Se conoce como traducción audiovisual a aquel tipo de traducción realizada sobre textos polisemióticos presentados ante una audiencia masiva a través de una pantalla. Productos multimedia como películas, documentales o series de televisión han de ser traducidos a otros idiomas para incrementar su consumo y así alcanzar a un público mayor y aumentar su popularidad. El material sujeto a la traducción audiovisual puede transferirse mediante el subtitulado o el doblaje.

  • Agency in Non-Professional Manga Translation in Iran
    Agency in non-professional manga translation in Iran The InternationalInternational Journal Journal for for Translation & Int&erpretingInterpreting Research trans-int.org-int.org Saleh Delforouz Abdolmaleki University of Isfahan, Iran [email protected] Mansoor Tavakoli University of Isfahan, Iran [email protected] Saeed Ketabi University of Isfahan, Iran [email protected] DOI:10.12807/ti.110201.2018.a06 Abstract: The present study addresses the phenomenon of online non- professional translation of manga in the context of Iran from the perspective of agency. It focuses on the people involved in decision-making in non- professional translation production, the non-professional translators’ motivations for their free immaterial labor as well as the factors that can constrain or increase their willingness or ability to translate manga into Persian. These questions were answered based on the activities of AnimWorld, the largest Iranian community of non-professional translators. The results suggest that non-professional translations differ from professional translations in terms of decision-making processes, motivations of the individuals involved as well as the contexts where they practice. Keywords: agency, context, decision, fan translation, manga, motivation, non-professional translation, online community. 1. Introduction Unlike professional translation, which has traditionally been the focus of translation researchers working on the English-Persian language pair, non- professional translation has not yet been recognized as a distinctive phenomenon in the context of Iran. Professional translation refers to translations produced by individuals who “designate themselves as ‘translators’ or ‘interpreters’ and are recognized (and paid) as such by their commissioners” (Pérez-González & Susam-Saraeva, 2012, p.150) while non- professional translation refers to the translations undertaken by “individuals not only without formal training in linguistic mediation but also working for free” (Pérez-González & Susam-Saraeva, 2012, p.151).

  • Theorizing in Unfamiliar Contexts: New Directions in Translation Studies
    Theorizing in Unfamiliar Contexts: New Directions in Translation Studies James Luke Hadley Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Language and Communication Studies April 2014 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution.” 1 ABSTRACT This thesis attempts to offer a reconceptualization of translation analysis. It argues that there is a growing interest in examining translations produced outside the discipline‟s historical field of focus. However, the tools of analysis employed may not have sufficient flexibility to examine translation if it is conceived more broadly. Advocating the use of abductive logic, the thesis infers translators‟ probable understandings of their own actions, and compares these with the reasoning provided by contemporary theories. It finds that it may not be possible to rely on common theories to analyse the work of translators who conceptualize their actions in radically different ways from that traditionally found in translation literature. The thesis exemplifies this issue through the dual examination of Geoffrey Chaucer‟s use of translation in the Canterbury Tales and that of Japanese storytellers in classical Kamigata rakugo. It compares the findings of the discipline‟s most pervasive theories with those gained through an abductive analysis of the same texts, finding that the results produced by the theories are invariably problematic.

  • Indirect Translation on the London Stage: Terminology and (In)Visibility
    Indirect translation on the London stage: terminology and (in)visibility Geraldine Brodie* Centre for Translation Studies, University College London, UK *[email protected] Abstract Productions of translated plays on the London stage use a variety of terms to describe the interlingual interpretive process that has taken place between the source text and the performance. Most frequently, a translated play is described as a “version” or “adaptation”, with the term “translation” reserved for specialized productions. The translation method most commonly adopted is to commission a source-language expert to prepare a “literal” translation which is then used by an English-speaking theatre practitioner to produce a playscript for performance. This article examines the incidence of such indirect translation practices, the inconsistencies of the applied terminology, and the relevance for indirect translation in its wider sense, revealing the shadows of translational behaviour even within language pairs, and demonstrating the multiplicity of agents impacting on the ultimate appearance of a text in translation. Keywords: adaptation, literal translation, London theatre, theatre translation, version, indirect translation Introduction Translation is a collaborative exercise, incorporating a range of participants and stages in the trajectory between originating and ultimate texts. The romantic concept of the solitary, omniscient translator – Jerome, the patron saint of translators, alone in the desert with his bible and skull – is no longer apposite, if it ever were. The writer of the “letter of Aristeas” in around 130 BCE depicted seventy-two translators creating the early-third-century Septuagint translation of the Hebrew scripture, “making all details harmonize by mutual comparison” – although this was disputed by later authors, who preferred to ascribe the translation of sacred texts to divine inspiration (Robinson 2014, 4–5).
