Cultural-oriented Translation: Setting Priorities



Authors : Djebbari Zakia .

Abstract

Translation seems to be considered as a variable concept in space and time, thus, searching for the very object of inquiry of translation studies may appear as a risky venture. In this sense, scholars have repeatedly pointed out the fundamental weaknesses of any translation theory which fails to take into account the cultural encounters, which may result the possibilities of translating the object of study unlimitedly. Based on the assumption that translators seem to be unaware of the potential influence translations can have in shapîng cultures, forming national identîties, and chronicling ideological shifts, the present paper maps an intercultural outlook to translation teaching, i.e., it tries to bridge the cultural gap in translation and cross out the possible barriers that may cause mistranslation of information in the target culture, and thus, in the target language.

Keywords
