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

本研究将考察1929年至2021年弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的《一间自己的房间》（以下简称《一间自己的房间》）的四个中国女性主义译本，分析它们出版时的社会历史背景以及不同译者所采用的表演方法。关于西方女性主义哲学文本在中国语境中的翻译，以往的研究主要集中在西方话语对译入语系统的影响上（Yu 2015;最小值2017）。然而，很少有人注意到中国的女权主义和译者的意识形态对这些西方出版物重新语境化的影响，因为它们服务于当地的女权主义议程。本项目将通过回答以下研究问题来填补这一研究空白：（1）在我的语料库中，《AROO》的不同版本是如何按照译者的女权主义议程进行翻译的？(2)不同的译者是如何在不同的时代重构这部西方女权主义文本的？(3)译者在做出翻译决策时，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?
