摘要

本文探讨了自译文本的“原文”和“译文”双重地位如何为研究自传体叙事中的指称性提供了有利条件。首先简要讨论自传中的参照概念,以及自我翻译的特点,然后我将重点放在一个既是自我翻译又是自传的文本上:埃斯梅拉达·圣地亚哥的《当我是波多黎各人》puertorriqueña,西班牙语版。在介绍圣地亚哥的自译实践之后,我分析了以读者反应批评为中心的翻译段落。自译版本《关多时代puertorriqueña》将用西班牙语经历的事件“转回”西班牙语,但最初是用英语写的,这一事实在自译如何将自己嵌入目标语言和文化中,以及如何感知指称性方面发挥了重要作用。我的结论是:《当我是波多黎各人》相比《当我是波多黎各人》,《瓜多时代puertorriqueña》的自传体叙事和生活体验更加接近。由于自译文本比原文更具有直接的参考意义,自传与生活之间的联系得到了加强。

Autobiography in self-translation: language towards experience in Esmeralda Santiago’s Cuando era puertorriqueña
This article examines how the dual status of the self-translated text – both ‘original’ and ‘translation’ – provides a privileged vantage point for studying referentiality in autobiographical narrations. Starting with a brief discussion on the notion of referentiality in autobiography, and on the peculiarities of self-translation, I then focus on a text that is both self-translated and autobiographical: Esmeralda Santiago’s Cuando era puertorriqueña, the Spanish version of When I Was Puerto Rican. Following an introductory analysis of Santiago’s self-translating practice, I analyse translingual passages centred on reader-response criticism. The fact that the self-translated version, Cuando era puertorriqueña, transfers ‘back’ into Spanish events experienced in that language but first written about in English plays an important role in how the self-translation embeds itself in the target language and culture, and on how referentiality is perceived. My conclusions suggest that autobiographical narration and life experience are closer to each other in Cuando era puertorriqueña than in When I Was Puerto Rican. Since the self-translated text is more directly referential than its source was, the link between autobiography and life is strengthened.
