초록

This article examines the translation of Chinese political discourse in China in light of the influence of the “Cultural Turn” in Translation Studies (TS). After illustrating the key features of cultural oriented and power-focused transformations in the development of TS, this article proposes an integrated approach, drawing upon both linguistic analysis and cultural studies to explore the complexity and manipulated nature of the translation of Chinese political discourse. Then, it discusses the main rhetorical and discoursal characteristics of Chinese political discourse. Finally, this integrated approach is illustrated with a sample study analysing the translation of the 2008 Chinese Government Report by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.

Abstract

This article examines the translation of Chinese political discourse in China in light of the influence of the “Cultural Turn” in Translation Studies (TS). After illustrating the key features of cultural oriented and power-focused transformations in the development of TS, this article proposes an integrated approach, drawing upon both linguistic analysis and cultural studies to explore the complexity and manipulated nature of the translation of Chinese political discourse. Then, it discusses the main rhetorical and discoursal characteristics of Chinese political discourse. Finally, this integrated approach is illustrated with a sample study analysing the translation of the 2008 Chinese Government Report by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.
