- W1569300450 abstract "Literary translations are sites of aesthetic, cultural, and ideological exchange between cultures. Translators have been and continue to be responsible for the exchange and manipulation of huge areas of thought. In this paper I examine the ideological manipulation of a Japanese literary text through translation and the motivation for such manipulation. Two-hundred years ago Friedrich Schleiermacher argued in his oft-cited essay “Methoden des Ubersetzens” that translated literature stimulates target language cultures to grow and therefore benefit from source language cultures. This observation has been reiterated a number of times since. In perhaps the most cited essay on the subject of translation during the last quarter century, “The Task of the Translator,” written eighty years ago, Walter Benjamin develops this theme. I note the continued mention of cultural influence through translation because it is a fundamental and profound phenomenon that transcends any one school of translation or literary theory. Forty years ago, Horst Frenz asserted that because of translation “many of the literary achievements of one country have found a hearing and even became ‘naturalized’ in other countries. Their people have been able to share the experiences and emotions expressed in foreign works, and men of letters have been stimulated and even profoundly influenced by them” (72). In 2000 Donald Richie took the torch and once again underlined the importance of translation as an essential component of cultural enrichment among nations. And here I cite Richie to both emphasize the continued recognition of the relationship between translation and cultural exchange and because he has been one of the players at center stage in the dissemination of Japanese culture throughout the English speaking world for the past half century: “… without translations all of us would understand much less. Whole areas of thought would remain unknown, whole lives would lie undiscovered. The literary translator not only delivers us full fragments of culture but brings a close analysis of language to bear on cross-cultural literary questions in a way central to knowledge itself” (Richie 3). The point these observers have been making is that we do not live in isolation and that translation is necessary for linguistic and cultural development in the modern era. This fact has been noted by literary specialists, social critics, philosophers, and the like, but the scope and importance of translation becomes apparent to any lay person who considers the issue. Yes, translation plays an active role in fostering the growth and appreciation of literatures, languages, and cultures among nations, as many scholars have noted, but as Bassnett cautions, “… the translator, who takes a text and transposes it into another culture," @default.
