Abstract:

This book presents an interdisciplinary study that straddles four academic
fields, namely, autobiography, stylistics, narratology and translation
studies. It shows that foregrounding is manifested in the language of
autobiography, alerting readers to an authorial tone with certain ideological
affiliations. In refuting the presumed conflation between the author, narrator
and character in autobiography, the study emphasizes readers’ role in
constructing an implied author. The issues of implied translator, assumed
translation and rewriting are explored through a comparative analysis of the
English and Chinese autobiographies by Singapore’s founding father Lee Kuan
Yew. The analysis identifies different foregrounding practices and attributes
these differences to an implied translator. Further evidence derived from
narrative-communicative situations in the two autobiographies underscores
divergent personae of the implied authors. The study aims to establish a
deeper understanding of how translation and rewriting have a far-reaching
impact on the self- and world-making functions of autobiography. This book
will be of special interest to scholars and students of linguistics,
literature, translation and political science.
