“…Among many paradigms in the sociocultural study of translation, Bourdieusian genetic structuralism has become an influential philosophical base that influences literary translation study development. Literary translation scholars have been adapting this based on their scientific exploration (Wolf [1]; Gouanvic [2] and [3]; Inghilleri [4]; Hanna [5] and [6]; Sapiro [7] and Xu [8]), in which their thoughts and studies have given significant impacts to the development of translation study through a sociocultural perspective. In the context of literary study, Bourdieusian genetic structuralism, as a paradigm, has also been purposively occupied by the literary researchers to conduct an interdisciplinary study (i.e., sociology of literature).…”

This study aims to reassure the feasibility of applying Pierre Bourdieu's sociocultural paradigm for conducting literary translation study. Influenced by the fact that literary translation scholars in Indonesia have not found the significance of the sociocultural approaches, this study intends to philosophically assess the 'basic assumptions' of the Bourdieusian genetic structuralism paradigm to understand further its fundamental thoughts about literature and human culture. In accordance, those basic assumptions can reveal whether or not that paradigm is compatible to be applied in translation study. As library research, extensive reading is a primary technique to collect the data needed. The data in the form of theoretical explanation and scientific analysis results are analyzed cohesively to reach an accurate understanding of genetic structuralism's basic assumptions and how literary translation scholars possibly apply it. Eventually, this study proves that the Bourdieusian sociocultural paradigm has basic assumptions that can lead a translation study to explore the production process of literary translation, translation agents' role, and the origin of agents' particular action in translation practice. Studies that have been developed by translation scholars around the world.

“…The main purpose of domestication is to naturalize the content of the TT and make it readable in the target language (Wright, 2016). Arabization (the Arabic form of domestication) or ta c rῑb refers to a translation technique which aims at representing a ST in Arabic by adapting its lexical and cultural components to the Arabic language without leaving an impact on its structure and thematic content (al-Shetawi, 1989) Khalil Mutran adopted Arabization in translating Shakespeare's Othello, C Uṭail, published in 1912 (Hanna, 2009). Mutran explained that he used Arabization to make these plays linguistically and conceptually accessible to the readers and/or audience (Ghazoul, 1998).…”

The Stylistic Amplification of Conceptual Metaphors in Translating Shakespeare into Arabic by Mohamed Enani

Translating Shakespeare into Arabic is a century-old cultural project which is still a source of challenge for translators who adopt a source-text-oriented approach that attempts to simulate the original in content, form and impact. Shakespeare’s texts are rife with metaphoric language which serves multiple functions on the cognitive, cultural, pragmatic as well as stylistic levels. This paper aims to analyse the translation of literary metaphors from a stylistic perspective in Mohamed Enani’s version of Othello. The analysis is conducted in the framework of conceptual metaphor theory which provides a microscopic description of how metaphors are influenced by the translation process. The findings of the analysis unveil the translation strategy adopted by Enani to reflect the stylistic function of metaphors while preserving their cognitive content and reveals that translating metaphors is influenced by the cognitive and professional background of the translator. Amplification emerges as a successful translation strategy which is used to extend metaphors creatively thus adding cognitive value to the Source Text content and compensating for a possible loss in the style of the Target Text. This paper concludes that, contrary to the prevalent assumptions, a source-text-oriented approach can deliver an accurate yet stylistically-functional translation if the translator is creative enough and willing to exert an additional cognitive effort similar to that exerted by the original writer. Enani’s translations of Shakespeare into Arabic are worth a life-long research project on the translation of style in literature.
