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新西班牙周边地区的宗教和土著管辖权与西班牙语和萨波特克语之间相互依存，相互影响和互补的殖民翻译实践，技术和策略。该项目利用了西班牙和萨波特克宗教和公证文本的语料库。本文将对语际翻译进行详细的分析。土著语言的翻译也与识字能力的发展以及口头和识字能力之间的变化有关。这涉及到编写和翻译教理问答，由多明我会修士将其从西班牙文翻译成萨波特克文，还涉及到公证文本，由萨波特克土著人民编写，由土著翻译员翻译成西班牙文。分析包括欧洲翻译文化对新西班牙翻译实践的影响的例子，可以追溯到古代，并将找出翻译策略及其在传教士语言学领域对西班牙语和萨波特克语的影响。另一方面，本土翻译实践中的创新，特质方面和混合现象将进行分析。更进一步，将把传教士和土著翻译策略的关系，以描述两者之间的关系。除了有关语言、文本和翻译方面的结果外，例如语义变化、殖民法律的语言的产生和萨波特克以及西班牙地区的殖民法律的文本类型、混合翻译文化和翻译历史，预计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”，以及作为“知识载体”和代表其社区的代理人的土著翻译者。

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.
