This book, and the supplementary readings suggested by Venuti provide (almost) a complete course of translation studies.” Hans J.Vermeer, Leopold-Franzens-University, Austria “This book offers a challenging and stimulating perspective on translation theory in the twentieth century. Many of the essays included in the collection are seminal ones, others are exciting, innovative pieces that invite us to reflect again on our understanding and knowledge of the translation process.” Susan Bassnett, The University of Warwick, UK The Translation Studies Reader Edited by Lawrence Venuti Advisory Editor: Mona Baker London and New York First published 2000 by Routledge 11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE Simulataneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge 29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group This edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2004. © 2000 This collection and editorial matter © Lawrence Venuti; individual essays © individual contributors All rights reserved.

Y. & Fatemi, R. (2020). A Comparison between the Translation Dichotomies Suggested by Juliane House and Lawrence Venuti. Journal of Practical Studies in Education, 1(2), 9-15 DOI: https://doi.org/10.46809/jpse.v1i2.13 Copyright © 2020 by author(s) and Global Talent Academy Ltd. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY 4.0). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Juliane House has split translation into “overt” and “covert” types. Translation has been classified by Lawrence Venuti into “domestication” and “foreignization”. This research attempted to compare the translation typologies rendered by House and Venuti. House’ and Venuti’s translation typologies are similar in 8 points and differ in 4 ones. Overt translation corresponds to foreignization and covert translation to domestication. Dichotomy is neither superior nor inferior to the others. Keywords: Overt Translation, Covert Translation, Foreignization, Domestication, Cultural Filter, Translator’s Invisibility 1. Introduction Communication is a complex and dynamic process. It has a message sender and a message receiver. The former encodes the meaning into a form that the latter recognizes. The receiver decodes the form back into meaningful messages.

  • Venuti, “Translation and Pedagogy,”
    327 TRANSLATION AND THE PEDAGOGY OF LITERATURE Lawrence Venuti he reflections that follow derive fundamentally from the current predicament of English-language translation in the global cultural economy. English remains the most translated language worldwide, but one of the least trans lated into. The translations issued by British and American publishers com Iprise about 2 percent of their total output each year, approximately 1200 to 1400 books, whereas in many foreign countries, large and small, west and east, the per centage tends to be significantly higher: 6 percent in Japan approximately 2500 books, 10 percent in France 4000, 14 percent in Hungary 1200, 15 percent in Germany 8000, 25 percent in Italy 3000 Grannis 1993. This asymmetry in translation patterns ensures that the United States and the United Kingdom enjoy a hegemony over foreign countries that is not simply political and economic, as the particular case may be, but cultural as well. The international sway of English, furthennore, coincides with the marginality of translation in contemporary Anglo-American culture. Although British and Amer ican literature circulates in many foreign languages, commanding the capital of many foreign publishers, the translating of foreign literatures into English attractsrelatively little investment and notice. Translation is underpaid, critically unrecognized, and largely invisible to English-language readers. The power of Anglo-American culture abroad has limited the circulation of foreign cultures at home, decreasing the domes tic oppommities for thinking about the nature of linguistic and cultural difference. Of course, no language can entirely exclude the possibility of different dialects and discourses, different cultural codes and constituencies.

  • How Comp Lit Continues to Suppress Translated Texts Lawrence Venuti
    boundary 2 Hijacking Translation: How Comp Lit Continues to Suppress Translated Texts Lawrence Venuti Uneven Developments Academia is slow to change. The snag, as Pierre Bourdieu observed, is resistance to new ideas, which favors those that currently enjoy authority in a particular field.1 Academics harbor an anti- intellectualism, ironically, bred by the splintering of intellectual labor into so many institutional com- partments. To specialize, however productive the yield in quantity and depth of knowledge, is to clap on a set of blinders. Take the field of comparative literature. It originated in late nineteenth- century Europe, and from the mid- 1950s onward it was firmly established in the United States, housed in departments and programs at many academic This essay began as a comment on the panel “Debating World Literature” at the Institute for World Literature at Harvard University, June 28, 2013.

  • Venuti on Translation
    The Translator’s Invisibility The Translator’s Invisibility provides a thorough and critical examination of translation from the seventeenth century to the present day. It shows how fluency prevailed over other translation strategies to shape the canon of foreign literatures in English, and it interrogates the ethnocentric and imperialist cultural consequences of the domestic values that were simultaneously inscribed and masked in foreign texts during this period. In tracing the history of translation, Lawrence Venuti locates alternative translation theories and practices which make it possible to counter the strategy of fluency, aiming to communicate linguistic and cultural differences instead of removing them. Using texts and translations from Britain, America and Europe he elaborates the theoretical and critical means by which translation can be studied and practiced as a locus of difference, recovering and revising forgotten translations to establish an alternative tradition. Lawrence Venuti is Professor of English at Temple University, Philadelphia, and has been a professional translator for the past fifteen years. He is the editor of Rethinking Translation: Discourse, Subjectivity, Ideology.
