Practices of Translation in the periphery of New Spain between evangelization and local indigenous jurisdiction in Spanish and Zapotec language (17/18 century).

本研究项目的目的是分析在宗教和土著司法领域与新西班牙周边的西班牙语和萨波特克语之间相互依存、相互影响和相辅相成的殖民翻译实践、技巧和战略。该项目利用了西班牙语和萨波特克人的宗教和公证文本语料库。本文将对语际翻译进行详细的分析。土著语言背景下的翻译也与识字的发展以及口语和识字之间的变化有关。这涉及教义的制定和翻译，该教义已由多米尼加修士从西班牙语翻译成萨波特克语，以及由萨波特克语土著人民撰写并由土著翻译者翻译成西班牙语的公证文本。分析包括欧洲翻译文化对新西班牙翻译实践的影响这一例子的问题，这些例子可以追溯到古代，并将找出西班牙和萨波特克语言在传教语言学领域的翻译策略及其后果。另一方面，对本土翻译实践中的创新、特质和混合现象进行了分析。下一步将是将传教士翻译策略和土著翻译策略联系起来，以描述两者之间的关系。除了语言、文本和翻译方面的成果，如语义变化、扎波特克殖民地法律语言和殖民地法律文本类型的产生以及地区西班牙语变体、混合翻译文化和翻译史，还将特别关注殖民翻译对土著语言和文化的社会和政治后果。另一个重点将是知识的翻译和“迁移”，以及土著翻译者作为“知识载体”和代表其社区的代理人。

The object of this research project is to analyze the interdependent, mutually influencing and complementing colonial translation practices, techniques and strategies between in the realms of religion and indigenous jurisdiction and Spanish and Zapotec language in the periphery of New-Spain. The project draws on a corpus of Spanish and Zapotec religious and notarial texts. A detailed analysis of interlingual translation will be made. Translation in the context of the indigenous languages is also related to the development of literacy and changes between orality and literacy. This concerns the elaboration and translation of the catechism, which has been translated from Spanish into Zapotec by Dominican friars, as well as to the notarial texts, authored by indigenous people in Zapotec and translated by indigenous translaters into Spanish. The analysis includes questions about the example giving influences of European translation cultures on translation practices in New Spain which reach back to antiquity and will find out the translation strategies and their consequences for the languages Spanish and Zapotec in the area of missionary linguistics. On the other hand, innovation, idiosyncratic aspects and hybrid phenomena in indigenous translation practices will be analyzed. A further step will be to put into relation missionary and indigenous translation strategies in order to describe the relation between both. Besides results concerning linguistic, textual and translational aspects such as e.g. semantic change, the generation of colonial legal language and colonial legal text types in Zapotec as well as in the regional Spanish variety, hybrid translation culture and history of translation are expected, a special focus will be on social and political consequences of colonial translation for the indigenous language and culture. A further focus will be on translation and the ‘migration’ of knowledge, as well as on indigenous translaters as ‘knowledge carriers’ and agents in behalf of their communities.
