Recontextualisation and Translators' Subjectivity: the Chinese Feminist Translations of A Room of One's Own across a Century

这个项目将考察弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的《一间自己的房间》(以下简称Aroo)从1929年到2021年的四个中国女权主义译本，以及它们出版的社会历史背景和不同译者所采取的表演方法。讨论西方哲学女性主义文本汉译的学术出版物大多集中在西方话语在目标系统中的影响(于2015；然而，中国女权主义和译者的意识形态不可避免地对这些西方出版物的重新语境化产生了影响，从而使它们成为地方性的女性主义议程，这一问题几乎没有受到关注。我的项目将通过回答以下研究问题来解决这一研究差距：(1)在我的语料库中考虑的不同版本是如何按照译者的女权主义议程被执行翻译的？(2)不同的译者在不同的时代如何重新将这种西方女性主义文本重新语境化？(3)译者在做出翻译决定时，可能在多大程度上受到了社会历史语境的影响？

This project will examine four Chinese feminist translations of Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own(hereafter AROO) from 1929 to 2021 in relation to the socio-historical context in which they werepublished and the performative approach adopted by different translators. Scholarly publicationsdiscussing the translation of Western philosophical feminist texts into the Chinese context have mostlyfocused on the influence that Western discourses had in the target system (Yu 2015; Min 2017).However, little attention has been paid to the influence that Chinese feminism and the translators'ideologies have inevitably had on the recontextualisation of these Western publications for them to servelocal feminist agendas.My project will address this research gap by answering the following research questions: (1) how hasAROO been performatively translated in different editions considered in my corpus in line with thetranslators' feminist agendas? (2) how have different translators recontextualised this Western feministtext in different times? (3) to what extent might have the translators been influenced by their sociohistorical contexts when making translation decisions?
