【演講摘要】
Interlinear translation – a bilingual genre that includes a text and its word-for-word ‘equivalents’ in translation written in alternating lines on a single page – has been practiced in diverse societies over many centuries, yet has been little studied. Because it prioritizes detail and precision, the interlinear translation paradigm may tell us more than any other about the workings of translation and the unavoidable choices inherent in every translation act.
The focus of the research project to be presented, titled “Textual Microcosms: A New Approach in Translation Studies,” is on interlinear translations produced between the late 16th and 20th centuries in the Indonesian-Malay world, a historically and culturally linked region now encompassing Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, southern Thailand and the southern Philippines. One of the world’s most linguistically diverse regions, it has seen Hindu, Buddhist, Confucian, Christian, and Islamic textual traditions locally adopted and adapted over the centuries, often through the interlinear model.
The talk will introduce the project and its approach of such texts as “textual microcosms” that can reveal a host of religious, intellectual, literary, artistic and linguistic processes and encounters as expressed and reflected on the interlinear page.
