Abstract:

Interventions in Translation
Culture, Ideology, Power

Ahmad Ayar Afshord
Istanbul Nisantasi University

Intervention in the translation process is not new and was enacted more
excessively in the past 
than today. Three issues that intervene in the process of translation are
namely ideology, culture, and power. The most dangerous interventions are
caused by ideology in totalitarian regimes. Ideological orientations interfere
with power relations and cultural items as well as literary production and
translation. However, ideology is hidden in any language use, its meaning is
embedded in any text or discourse, and its manipulative power has been enacted
at any level in the process of translation. In the 50s and 60s, translators
began to evaluate the techniques to affect the target audience through
translation. They began to consider how to ideologically manipulate the texts
to achieve this goal. Referring to Lefevere’s (1992) view, by a means of
translation it is possible to motivate a nation’s ideological dogmatism or
racism, and to engage the world in an ideological battle since as a main
policy, ideology exists at any level of translation. The ideological
translation can be seen as a threat to the national identity, culture, and
power in society. To cope with such a problem in translation, power controls
the filtering process by all means. Yet it not only controls the linguistics
property of the text but the cultural/ideological aspects of the text and the
sociopolitical situation in which the text is produced and comprehended.
