초록
This study aims to examine two translations of Confucius the Man and the Myth (Creel 1949) to disclose that the translating strategies of two governmental translating institutions served to promote the institutional ideologies and/or objectives. By analysing paratexts, macro- and micro-level translations drawing on socio-narrative theory, this study uncovered that the translation in Shinchunji tried to promote democracy for stabilizing the fledgling South Korean government. By directly linking Confucius and democracy through the text selection and paratextual translation, and describing Confucius more positively through micro-level translation, Confucius’ support for democracy was illustrated more positively in Shinchunji. The translation also stressed the unethical character of totalitarianism by emphasizing a totalitarian government’s appropriation of Confucian philosophy. Meanwhile, the translation published in Wolgan Amerika served to educate Koreans about the nature of democracy and threat of totalitarianism. Through text selection to micro-level translation, the translator not only portrayed democracy more positively and totalitarianism more negatively but also chose to stress the vulnerability of democracy to totalitarianism. Additionally, by emphasizing the authority of the author, the translation validated the contents and intended to be used as an educational material. Thus, the translations served the objectives of the institution—selling democracy and preparing Koreans for the threat of communism.
Abstract
This study aims to examine two translations of Confucius the Man and the Myth (Creel 1949) to disclose that the translating strategies of two governmental translating institutions served to promote the institutional ideologies and/or objectives. By analysing paratexts, macro- and micro-level translations drawing on socio-narrative theory, this study uncovered that the translation in Shinchunji tried to promote democracy for stabilizing the fledgling South Korean government. By directly linking Confucius and democracy through the text selection and paratextual translation, and describing Confucius more positively through micro-level translation, Confucius’ support for democracy was illustrated more positively in Shinchunji. The translation also stressed the unethical character of totalitarianism by emphasizing a totalitarian government’s appropriation of Confucian philosophy. Meanwhile, the translation published in Wolgan Amerika served to educate Koreans about the nature of democracy and threat of totalitarianism. Through text selection to micro-level translation, the translator not only portrayed democracy more positively and totalitarianism more negatively but also chose to stress the vulnerability of democracy to totalitarianism. Additionally, by emphasizing the authority of the author, the translation validated the contents and intended to be used as an educational material. Thus, the translations served the objectives of the institution—selling democracy and preparing Koreans for the threat of communism.
