翻译操控论:从严复和鲁迅的翻译理论相关的例句实践看意识形态作用, Fengliang Mu Dec 2006

翻译操控论:从严复和鲁迅的翻译理论相关的例句实践看意识形态作用, Fengliang Mu

Theses & Dissertations

翻译行为一直伴随人类活动。翻译理论却往往是“一堆意见”。翻译操控论正是这样一个值得争论的命题。

本文以翻译研究的语言学转向、文化转向和史学转向为背景,以赫曼斯的翻译操控论为理论架构,研究翻译过程中的意识形态作用,以便于理解翻译过程中的译者主体作用或操控行为。

本文拾起严复和鲁迅的老话题,是希望每次阅读都创造出不同于以往的历史主义的关怀和方法,以便在现在和历史的对话中加深对过去的理解,从中演绎出新意,进而服务于将来。在翻译实践中,严复和鲁迅实施两种截然 不同的翻译操控。本文通过具体的文本比对和译界传统的追溯研究,解读多元因素作用下的翻译实践,回答了前人(例如梁实秋)尚未解决的鲁迅硬译的缘由,贯穿了翻译的操控历史和历史在操控中进化的主题,同时也疏理了操控阵营的理论要点。赫曼斯所代表的操控学派缘起于具有激进倾向的因素作用研究,同时又强调中立描述的稳健立场。这为该派开展翻译规范研究和尝试普遍适用的理论假设提供了转机。鉴于意识形态缺乏恒定值,造成特殊性的普遍存在和普遍性的假想性质,操控学派中的因素论锐气渐弱,规范研究却力度渐强。籍此,本文在以下几个方面做了积极的论证。一、意识形态有若干特征,其关键特征是一时之态。理解意识形态的这种动态变化有利于减少意识形态的一时失态,促进意识形态的相互宽容和相互借鉴。二、本文将翻译操控论施诸严复和鲁迅的个案,界定了“信、达、雅”的“游移性、不确 定性、隐喻性、延异性”,从而揭示了“信、达、雅”变量的可选性、指导翻译实践的方向性和译者自主把握尺度的灵活性。三、在翻译操控论形成之前就有翻译的操控实践。只是在翻译中,操控乏力有碍交流,操控过度就超出了翻译范畴,操控适当才能有利于思想交流。本文指出,译员不操控等于不作为,不利于文本的认知、解读和阐释。查翻译操控论的未来走向,规范研究将促使翻译操控论转变激进立场,或者至少可以由规范研究来把握操控的信度和效度。

On The Logic Of The Economic Integration Of Hong Kong Into The Greater China Economy, Hoi Cheung Cheung Nov 2006

On The Logic Of The Economic Integration Of Hong Kong Into The Greater China Economy, Hoi Cheung Cheung

CAPS Working Paper Series

Hong Kong has encountered an economic downturn since the outbreak of the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997. It was a result of the lack of long-term preparation for adjustment to changes in the industrial structure. Without a foundation to upgrade its industrial structure from labour-intensive manufacturing to mid and high-tech industry, Hong Kong could only transit its industrial structure directly from the secondary sector to the tertiary sector – financial services, trading and logistics, and related services. Nonetheless, due to the keen competition in terms of cost advantages from the neighbouring economies, mainly those regional economies in the Pearl River …

APIAS Research Report 研究報告

德勤會計師行、中華電力、基督教香港信義會及救世軍自2003年在全港5個地區推行試驗性質的跨代服務「長青傳動力」,效果良好;自2004年即將服務地區增至12區,參與的服務團體亦增至4間。至2005年,長青傳動力委員會繼續邀請香港明愛、基督教香港信義會以及救世軍合辦「長青傳動力」活動計劃,期望長者能透過參與義工服務繼續貢獻社會,肯定自我的價値;同時,亦期望創造出一個供長者和青少年溝通的平台,讓雙方互相了解,促進長青共融。爲了更有系統地總結過去3年經驗,並規劃日後計劃發展,委員會今年邀請了嶺南大學亞太老年學硏究中心作服務成效評估,以作回顧前瞻之參考。

爲評估「長青計劃」的成效,本中心推行了一項調查硏究,並因應活動目標及各區同工所提供的量度指標,來探討參加者在以下數方面的轉變:(一)對義務工作的參與、(二)自尊心、(三)長青雙方的互相觀感及(四)社會支援網絡。


Participatory Welfare In South Korea : Meaning And Issues, K. H., Raymond Chan Sep 2006

Participatory Welfare In South Korea : Meaning And Issues, K. H., Raymond Chan

CAPS Working Paper Series

‘Participatory Welfare’ is the term coined by the current Roh Moo-hyun government to distinguish its welfare reform from the previous Kim Dae-jung government’s ‘Productive Welfare’ policies. While the use of term ‘participatory’ is a convenient extension of its slogan ‘Participatory Government’, the details of Participatory Welfare are still evolving and results have yet to be seen. Observed from the documents and policies proposed or implemented so far, it has two key dimensions: promoting ‘participation’ and building up of a ‘welfare community’. The reforms are located in a context of civil society calling for greater participation and reforms in an increasingly …


From Aspac To Eas : South Korea And The Asian Pacific Region, Brian Bridges Aug 2006

From Aspac To Eas : South Korea And The Asian Pacific Region, Brian Bridges

CAPS Working Paper Series

South Korea’s diplomatic and security focus has inevitably been on North-east Asia and its difficult relationship with its northern neighbour, but South Korea also has a role to play in the broader Asian Pacific region. This paper analyses South Korea’s increasing economic, political and cultural links with the region and its role in the development of Asian Pacific regionalism. Utilising the concept of ‘middle power’, it argues that, while clearly South Korea cannot ignore what is happening in its immediate geographical environment, it does have the economic and political resources to enable it to take advantage of the opportunities for …


Facing Reality : Pernicious Obstacles To Collective Action On Climate Change, Paul G. Harris Jul 2006

Facing Reality : Pernicious Obstacles To Collective Action On Climate Change, Paul G. Harris

Centre for Public Policy Studies : CPPS Working Paper Series

The international climate regime, primarily designed to limit the emissions of pollutants causing global warming, has failed. Why has international cooperation to combat global warming been so difficult, and what factors must change to improve the situation—assuming it is even possible? Using Mancur Olson’s classical theory of collective action, this essay endeavors to explain the failure of the climate regime. Other international environmental agreements and the associated regimes, such as the Mediterranean Action Plan and the Montreal Protocol on ozone depletion, demonstrate that collective action to address international environmental problems is possible. Both agreements contain the ingredients that classical theory—that …


Labour Market Reforms And Polarization In Korea, K. H., Raymond Chan Jun 2006

Labour Market Reforms And Polarization In Korea, K. H., Raymond Chan

CAPS Working Paper Series

From the early 1990s the South Korean government launched a series of structural reforms to liberalize and deregulate the economy and labour market, in line with its globalization strategy. Particularly after the financial crisis, flexible labour market reform was one of the major initiatives to keep the Korean economy competitive in the global market. This paper describes the rationale for flexible labour market reforms in Korea from the early 1990s, evaluates their impacts on labour market polarization, and assesses the policy responses adopted by Kim Dae-jung and the current Roh Moo-hyun governments. It is argued that the flexible labour market …


翻译、意识形态与话语 : 中国1895-1911 年文学翻译研究, Xiaoyuan Wang Jun 2006

翻译、意识形态与话语 : 中国1895-1911 年文学翻译研究, Xiaoyuan Wang

Theses & Dissertations

1895-1911 年这一时期,是中国翻译史上第三次翻译高潮。现有的中国翻译史研究成果,由于受到各自的研究对象以及研究者自身的局限,均未能对这一断代史进行充分的研究。本文采取文化研究的视角,尝试建立一个新的理论模式――翻译社会学模式,即考察翻译场域中,翻译这一话语生产活动,如何在受到意识形态制约的 同时,通过不同途径(其中特别是通过主体性)获得各种资本,尤其是符号象征资本,对现有意识形态(尤其是主流意识形态)产生作用。在此基础上,对这一时期的文学翻译,特别是小说的翻译,加以研究。 本文认为:翻译这一社会行为,不仅是语言之间而是处在特定的历史语境之中的转换活动,因而势必会受到当时意识形态的制约;同时,翻译作为一种话语生产活动,亦会因此生产新的意识形态话语。由此,翻译与意识形态之间存在着一种互动关系。 本文采取纵横相结合的方法:首先从纵的即历史的跨度,考察这一时期翻译行为所处的社会文化语境,从文化史与思想史的高度,概述这一时期的翻译史特征,史论结合,以史为辅,以论为主。其次,截取其中某个时间横断面,对这一时期具有代表性的论者与译者,进行深入的个案分析(包括梁启超、林 纾、苏曼殊、周氏兄弟),希冀通过以点带面的方式,微观(文本分析)与宏观(文化研究)相结合,以微见著,从微观中看出宏观来,同时又能高屋建瓴, 从宏观解释微观,总结该时期的翻译活动的特征与规律。


The Role Of Volunteering In Successful Ageing : Impacts On Psychological Well-Being Of Older Persons, Sin Yui, Sharon Chan Jan 2006

The Role Of Volunteering In Successful Ageing : Impacts On Psychological Well-Being Of Older Persons, Sin Yui, Sharon Chan

Theses & Dissertations

The thesis looks at volunteering, an activity in which time is freely given as a gift to benefit other people, groups and society. Formal volunteering, as opposed to informal helping, entails stronger commitment via organisations that offer more or less organised assistance often on an individual basis. The thesis suggests that older retired persons provide an invaluable pool of formal voluntary workers amidst the growing need for social services and fewer resources for social welfare expenditure. This pool will grow even more in the future. Moreover, the research looks at the experiences of social engagement in older and associations between …


Explaining Older-Patient And Doctor Relationship Through Negotiation, Hok Ka, Carol Ma Jan 2006

Explaining Older-Patient And Doctor Relationship Through Negotiation, Hok Ka, Carol Ma

Theses & Dissertations

This thesis attempts to explain the older-patients and doctors’ relationship through negotiation. The relationship between older-patients and their doctors is important because, first, the patient-doctor relationship is basic to the health care system and is a foundation for all patient care; second, populations are ageing and this group often has a higher incidence of chronic illnesses. Therefore, the older patient-doctor consultation becomes of paramount importance in enabling patients and the health care system to manage their illnesses effectively.

This thesis describes a negotiation process (from reception, consultation, to outcome) and outcome patterns between older patients and doctors in medical consultation. …

Bootstrapping Statistical Inferences Of Decomposition Methods For Gender Earnings Differentials, Yue Ma, Ying Chu Ng Jan 2006

Bootstrapping Statistical Inferences Of Decomposition Methods For Gender Earnings Differentials, Yue Ma, Ying Chu Ng

Centre for Public Policy Studies : CPPS Working Paper Series

Applying the standard bootstrapping technique with corrections for heteroskedasticity for a sample of the 1997 Urban Household Survey in China, the present paper attempts to test (1) whether the commonly used decomposition methods for gender earnings differentials give significantly different results, and (2) whether the explained component is significantly different from the unexplained component (which is commonly referred to as discrimination) within each decomposition method. Based on a national data set, the empirical results indicated some significant differences in both tests. The implication of the results is that the proposed bootstrapping technique can be regarded as a guideline on applying …


Cultivating Identities And Differences : A Case Study Of The Hong Kong Junior Secondary Economic And Public Affairs Curriculum, Yuen Fun, Muriel Law Jan 2006

Cultivating Identities And Differences : A Case Study Of The Hong Kong Junior Secondary Economic And Public Affairs Curriculum, Yuen Fun, Muriel Law

Theses & Dissertations

This thesis studies the junior secondary EPA curriculum and the complex cultural process of teaching and learning of the curriculum. It draws on theoretical frameworks developed in the field of cultural studies and critical pedagogy, particularly works by Michel Foucault, Stuart Hall, Lawrence Grossberg and Paulo Freire. It investigates how the EPA curricular texts attempt to produce the identity characteristic of "rational, sensitive and active citizens" in contemporary Hong Kong through constructing differences that negate the Other. Through analyzing classroom discursive practices, the thesis examines how the curricular knowledge "interpellates" teachers into subject position to talk about the "rational, sensitive …
