摘要

本文试图指出所谓的“译语”现象的作用,作为一个警钟,以及呼吁采取行动反对全球北方的霸权,这种霸权传统上贬低了全球南方,削弱了后者在公平竞争环境中获得一席之地的真诚愿望。在完成这项任务时,它探索了翻译的潜在颠覆性方面,也忽略了对所有工作的平等行动领域的回收。有人认为,在这里,那些宁愿把这种现象从根本上看作是不同语言之间转换的问题——所谓的“代码转换”——以极大的放纵和真正的自由放任精神,太容易见树不见林了。在本文中,我将把注意力转向我所谓的“翻译政治”。我想强调的是,人们,尤其是在后殖民环境下的人们,已经把译语作为一种有效的手段,通过他们的译语实践,故意“搅乱交流的水域”,来挑战殖民权力的最后残余,这要归功于殖民的挥之不去的影响——这一过程将通过对后殖民文学作品的研究进行更详细的分析。阿兰达蒂·罗伊(Arundhati Roy)等后殖民作家是这方面的高手。

Translanguaging as a Clarion Call and a War Cry From The Global South
Resumo This paper seeks to point to the role of the phenomenon called ‘translanguaging’ as a wake-up call, as well as a call to action against the hegemony of the Global North in the way it has traditionally disparaged the Global South, undercutting the latter’s bona fide aspirations to a place on a level playing field. In undertaking this task, it explores the potentially subversive aspect of translanguaging and also ignores the reclaimings of equal action fields to all that work there. It is argued that it is all too easy to miss the wood for the trees here by those who would rather look at the phenomenon as fundamentally a question of switching between different languages – so-called ‘code-switching’ – with great abandon and true spirit of laissez faire. In this paper, I shall turn my attention instead to what I call the ‘politics of translanguaging’. By that, what I intend to mean to press home is that people, especially in postcolonial settings, have used translanguaging as an effective means to challenge the last vestiges of colonial power that persist thanks to the lingering effects of coloniality by deliberately ‘muddying the communicative waters’ through their translanguaging practices – a process that will be analysed in closer detail through examination of postcolonial literary works. Postcolonial writers of the likes of Arundhati Roy are past masters at this.
