초록

본고는 최근 번역학계의 주된 관심사로 떠오른 문화번역을 수행하기 위한 철학적 기반으로서의 형이상학적 담론을 탐색하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 현재 번역론이 해석학의 전통으로부터 넘겨받은 시대적 의미와 보편적 가치가 무엇인지 돌아보고 그 과정에서 타문화를 가장 이상적으로 수용하기 위한 번역방법론을 찾아가는 여정이라 하겠다. 이에 2장에서는 번역에 대한 인식 변화를 살펴보고 문화번역의 화두를 던졌던 탈식민주의의 관점에서 타문화 수용방식에서의 변화를 조명하였다. 3장에서는 리쾨르의 텍스트 해석학적 사유와 번역론을 함께 연결시켜 문화번역 관점에서의 적용방법을 고민했다. 4장에서는 고전적 번역이론이 문화번역 이론으로 이행되고 있는 현 시점에서 번역을 어떻게 정의할 것인지에 대한 본고의 관점과 함께 향후 번역이 나아갈 방향을 논의하였다.

According to the change of attitude in modern translation theory, a traditional dichotomy of translation, literal translation and liberal translation, has been changed and gradually replaced by new translation strategies. This study argues that the two types of translation (i.e. literal translation and liberal translation) have an identical goal “good translation”, despite the fact that each of them has been discussed in different ways from various perspectives. The two translation strategies that are called foreignization and domestication are examined in this study. Among others foreignization and domestication are most acceptable and applicable to the modern translation theory. Based on this assumption, this paper examines the background of these two strategies and proposes a new approach to them. Then, it also discusses the important role of a translator as a reproducer by focusing on the fact that translating is re-producing of the original under a guideline. This paper identifies periodical implications and universal values of a current translation methodology that were inherited from traditional hermeneutics. As a way of producing “good translation”, Paul Ricoeur (French philosopher) expanded the scope of text hermeneutics into translation, and proposed the notion of ‘linguistic hospitality’. It is an attempt to tackle the issue of untranslatable texts, which is one of the main subjects in translation studies. The process of adapting the characteristics of a native language for another language is similar to offering a hospitality of a different culture. Through the process, the understanding of two different cultures is broaden and when linguistic hospitality is added to this, the better quality of translation is finally obtained, albeit not a perfect one. This paper shows that it is crucial for a translator to harmonize the two strategies, foreignization and domestication in translating; translation made with harmony between the two makes readers experience both unfamiliarity and familiarity in different cultures and finally provides them with a fertile imagination. As a rewriting between the two different cultures, a translator meets a text and then creates a new product, a translated work. It can be the most ideal translation for a translator to harmonize unique characteristics of a source language with those of a target language.
