Abstract
Abstract Commonly associated with the concept of cultural cannibalism, the artistic and critical legacy of Haroldo de Campos (1929–2003) has constituted a significant metaphor in translation studies. Despite growing interest that this concept has received in the European and North American discourse of the discipline, the idea of anthropophagy spreads unchecked, circulating freely and contributing to a vast array of analytical approaches. Given a noticeable lack of in-depth insights into the nature of de Campos’ theory, this process has resulted in a gradual loss of its original specificity. This article aims to provide an analysis of instances of the use of the cannibalistic metaphor in the English discourse of translation studies, to help understand the refractions detectable in the reception of de Campos’ concepts.
坎波斯(Haroldo de Campos, 1929-2003)的艺术和批评遗产通常与文化食人概念联系在一起,构成了翻译研究中一个重要的隐喻。尽管这一概念在欧洲和北美的学科论述中受到越来越多的关注,但“食人”的概念传播不受限制,自由流通,并为大量分析方法做出了贡献。由于明显缺乏对德坎波斯理论本质的深入了解,这一过程导致其原有的特殊性逐渐丧失。本文旨在分析同类相食的隐喻在英语翻译研究中的使用实例,以帮助理解在接受德坎波斯的概念时可检测到的折射。
期刊介绍:
Translation and Interpreting Studies (TIS) is a biannual, peer-reviewed journal designed to disseminate knowledge and research relevant to all areas of language mediation. TIS seeks to address broad, common concerns among scholars working in various areas of Translation and Interpreting Studies, while encouraging sound empirical research that could serve as a bridge between academics and practitioners. The journal is also dedicated to facilitating communication among those who may be working on related subjects in other fields, from Comparative Literature to Information Science. Finally, TIS is a forum for the dissemination in English translation of relevant scholarly research originally published in languages other than English. TIS is the official journal of the American Translation and Interpreting Studies Association (ATISA).
