摘要

SEK Mqhayi的《Ityala Lamawele》(1914)的新英译本《双胞胎的诉讼》(2018)是一个重大的文化事件。然而，在《蒂亚拉·拉玛威尔》作为一部出版作品的漫长而复杂的历史背景下，新译本给今天的读者提出了几个重要的问题。最重要的是，通过将塑造文学空间的中介与作家的创作实践之间的紧张关系尖锐地聚焦在一起，它迫使读者问:是谁概念化了文学，通过什么手段，达到了什么效果?文章最后考虑了新译本如何以富有成效的方式为重新思考英语文学和非洲研究创造机会。

Literary Space/Creative Practice: Reading Ityala Lamawele in English Today

The new English translation of SEK Mqhayi's Ityala Lamawele (1914), The Lawsuit of the Twins (2018), is a major cultural event. Seen against the background of Ityala Lamawele's long and complex history as a published work, however, the new translation raises several important questions for readers today. Above all, by bringing the tensions between the intermediaries who shape the space of the literary and the creative practice of writers sharply into focus, it obliges readers to ask who conceptualises the literary, by what means, and to what effect? The article concludes by considering how the new translation creates opportunities for rethinking Anglograph literary and African studies in productive ways.

期刊介绍： Current Writing: Text and Reception in Southern Africa is published bi-annually by Routledge. Current Writing focuses on recent writing and re-publication of texts on southern African and (from a ''southern'' perspective) commonwealth and/or postcolonial literature and literary-culture. Works of the past and near-past must be assessed and evaluated through the lens of current reception. Submissions are double-blind peer-reviewed by at least two referees of international stature in the field. The journal is accredited with the South African Department of Higher Education and Training.
