摘要
建构主义翻译观是哲学意义上的建构主义在翻译研究中的具体应用。按照这种观念,翻译不只是一种符号性认同行为,也是一种主体建构行为,以及面向"他者"的社会性认同行为,具体表现在:首先,作为翻译的对象,文本的意义不具有先在性和确定性,它是主、客体相互作用的结果,因而"表象主义"不可取;其次,作为翻译的主体,译者不是通过遵守语言规则"发现"文本意义,而是通过意志与能动性"建构"文本意义;再次,翻译是"事件化"的话语行为,具有多重生产因素,并表现出历史化、语境化的知识生产模式。概言之,建构主义翻译观即是从"知识社会学"的角度,对本质主义翻译观的拓展与修订。
A constructivist conception of translation results from the application of philosophical constructivism to translation studies. Within such a conception, translation is understood as an "other"-oriented social identificational behavior and a behavior performed by a subject being constructed at the same time, rather than a mere behavior of symbolic identification. The objective of translation, i.e., the meaning its text creates, is from this perspective by no means pre-existent or pre-determined. Rather, it results from a subject/object interaction and hence does not lend itself to a "representationalist" interpretation. As the principal subject of translation, the translator does not "discover" textual meanings by following linguistic rules: she "constructs" these rules by virtue of her own will and initiative. In addition, translation is seen as an "eventualized" discursive act that involves multiple productive factors and enacts the model of historicized and contextualized knowledge production. Instantiating the sociology of knowledge, the constructivist conception of translation at once expands and revises the essentialist model in translation studies.
