摘要
本研究考察了德里达在1998年的演讲“qui -est-ce qu ' une traduction”中的修辞精神。什么是“相关的”翻译?],在ATLAS协会的法国文学翻译观众面前发表。这个讲座提供了一个注解,根据德里达关于宽恕的研讨会,他部分翻译了莎士比亚的《威尼斯商人》中鲍西娅的台词。尽管德里达的翻译打开了"季节"的渲染作为相关的,他在这个讲座中明显的修辞定位强调了同音对mercy/merci作为主要的"相关的"。因此,德里达对感激和怜悯的表演陈述可以被解读为言语行为,同时唤起和否定翻译和转换的联系,在翻译这些行时激活,也召唤他的specular être-juif。因此,与其简单地就一个亲密的哲学翻译实践进行公开演讲,不如在“Qu’est-ce Qu’une traduction”中“relevant”?德里达提出了一种修辞精神,将翻译、相关性和仁慈嵌入到个人对“犹太问题”及其非常真实的历史后果的公众反思中。
The relevance of Derrida’s translation: Mercy and ethos
This study examines Derrida’s rhetorical ethos in his 1998 lecture, ‘Qu-est-ce qu’une traduction “relevante”?’ [What is a ‘relevant’ translation?], given before an audience of French literary translators from the ATLAS association. This lecture provides a gloss, informed by Derrida’s seminars on forgiveness, on his partial translation of Portia’s lines from Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. Although Derrida’s translation turns on the rendering of ‘seasons’ as relève, his overtly rhetorical positioning in this lecture foregrounds the homonymic pair mercy/merci as a primary ‘relevant’. As a result, Derrida’s performative statements of gratitude and appeals for mercy may be read as speech acts that, while simultaneously evoking and repudiating the association of translation and conversion activated in the translation of these lines, also conjure his specular être-juif. As a result, rather than simply giving a public lecture on an intimate philosophical translation practice, in ‘Qu’est-ce qu’une traduction “relevante”?’ Derrida presents a rhetorical ethos that embeds translation, relevance, and mercy in a personally-inflected public reflection on the ‘Jewish Question’ and its very real historical consequences.
