Abstract:

To encompass the history of Arabic practice of translation, this
Element re-defines translation as combination, a process of
meaning-remaking that synthesizes multi reality. The Arabic
translators of the Middle Ages did not simply find an equivalent to
the source text but combined its meaning with their own knowledge and
experience. Thus, part of translating a text was to add new thought to
it. It implies a complex process that Homi Bhabha calls “cultural
hybridity,” in which the target text combines knowledge of the source
text with knowledge from the target culture, and the source text is
different from the target text “without assumed or imposed hierarchy.”
Arabic translations were a cultural hybridity because the translators
added new thought to their target texts, and because saw their
language as equal to the Greek.
