Abstract

ABSTRACT In South Korea, a recent wave of feminism has brought about substantial changes in the book industry. Many publishing houses have expanded their list of feminism-related titles to cater for a growing number of women readers who seek awareness-raising. In addition, small-scale ventures dedicated to feminist publishing emerged to serve as a new platform for feminist activism. Among these ventures is Yeolda Books, a radical feminist publisher that openly advocates for “trans-exclusionary radical feminism” (TERF) and its translators use experimental language to emphasize women’s experiences in a creative and disruptive way. Against this backdrop, the present study discusses various textual representations of radical feminist translation, drawing on four translations by Hyedam Yu, one of Yeolda’s translators. The primary focus of this study is a theoretical formulation of feminist writing strategies derived from Yu’s translations. Findings could broaden the scope of discussion of (radical) feminist translation performed in a non-Western context.

激进女权主义的翻译与策略:以韩国为例
在韩国,最近的女权主义浪潮给图书行业带来了实质性的变化。许多出版社已经扩大了与女权主义相关的书籍列表,以满足越来越多寻求提高意识的女性读者的需求。此外,致力于女权主义出版的小规模企业出现,成为女权主义活动的新平台。激进女权主义出版商Yeolda Books就是其中之一,它公开倡导“跨性别排斥的激进女权主义”(trans-exclusionary radical feminism,简称TERF),其译者使用实验性语言,以创造性和颠覆性的方式强调女性的经历。在此背景下,本文以柳慧丹的四篇翻译为例,探讨了激进女权主义翻译的各种文本表现形式。本研究的主要焦点是从余的翻译中提炼出女性主义写作策略的理论建构。研究结果可以拓宽非西方语境下(激进)女权主义翻译的讨论范围。
