This article demonstrates the creative process of poetic translation as a two-fold process of reading and writing. I will argue that the act of translation is never to be done without the translator's creativity brought into play to work out the place of uncertainty involved in every process of reading and writing. Untranslatability, in this sense, is foremost and decisively a matter of intrinsic consequences of reading and writing, rather than a matter of linguistic difference and cultural absence that exist regardless of or independent of the translator's action or interaction with the text. After all, it is not originality per se but creativity that is translated. This allows us to redefine the translator as a re/writer not that he is reproducing the original in TL or making it conform, in Andre Lafevere's terms of "cultural turn," to dominant ideological and institutional poetics in TC, but that he assumes the very roles of the reader and the writer as he is involved in the artistic communication of reading and writing. This article intends to provide a plausible account of theories and application regarding the creative process of poetic translation, using examples drawn from the prominent Korean poet Kim Su-yeong's translation of Robert Lowell's poetry, in or order to show how, through the process of re/writing, the translator comes to write his own characteristic work in his translation.
Abstract
This article demonstrates the creative process of poetic translation as a two-fold process of reading and writing. I will argue that the act of translation is never to be done without the translator's creativity brought into play to work out the place of uncertainty involved in every process of reading and writing. Untranslatability, in this sense, is foremost and decisively a matter of intrinsic consequences of reading and writing, rather than a matter of linguistic difference and cultural absence that exist regardless of or independent of the translator's action or interaction with the text. After all, it is not originality per se but creativity that is translated. This allows us to redefine the translator as a re/writer not that he is reproducing the original in TL or making it conform, in Andre Lafevere's terms of "cultural turn," to dominant ideological and institutional poetics in TC, but that he assumes the very roles of the reader and the writer as he is involved in the artistic communication of reading and writing. This article intends to provide a plausible account of theories and application regarding the creative process of poetic translation, using examples drawn from the prominent Korean poet Kim Su-yeong's translation of Robert Lowell's poetry, in or order to show how, through the process of re/writing, the translator comes to write his own characteristic work in his translation.
