문학번역 텍스트의 전용: 하이재킹(hijacking) -토니 모리슨의 『가장 푸른 눈』을 중심으로

Abstract

Traditionally, the ideal translation of an original text had been considered to be transposed into a target language as faithfully as possible. However, in recent years, translation has gradually come to be understood as a process of mediations between cultures and languages rather than a process of matching up one word in a source language with another in a target language. Further, as Lefereve claims, there may be little intrinsic value in any original text. What there is though, is context: conventions, traditions, trends, fashions, power plays that any social context will bring and that will determine what publishers sell and people read(Flotow 2005: 45). At a time like this, feminist translation was born in Québec in the 1980s as a consequence of the experimental writing of female writers with feminist perspectives. Unlikely other theories in translation studies, this theory and practice are thought to go together. This study aims to introduce one of the feminist translation strategies, ‘hijacking,’ which allows feminist translators to make their works visible by the deliberate appropriation of original texts, to be on the lookout for this strategy in the translated texts of a literary work, and to consider whether the hijacked text could be a faithful translation or not. To do this, this paper studies the translated texts of two male translators in terms of ‘incest,’ ‘paedophilia,’ and ‘sexuality’ in Tony Morrison's The Bluest Eye.
