Abstract

AbstractThis paper examines the nature of contemporary bilingual Chicano poetry from the 1970s to the present, particularly in terms of the poetic use of bilingual wordplay and the questions it raises about the uses and possibilities of translation. Using Walter Benjamin’s essay ‘The Task of the Translator’ as a touchstone, and positing a metaphorical link between translation and transfer, the paper looks at bilingual wordplay as a kind of bridging-over or translation of one language into the other, crossing and breaking down borders and hierarchies between the two languages. To illustrate this, cultural practices and uses of bilingualism are examined from both a sociolinguistic and a poetic point of view, with examples of how puns, (mis)pronunciations, slang, loanwords, and mixtures of Spanish and English are used in bilingual poetry for formal and polemical effect.

摘要本文考察了20世纪70年代至今的当代奇卡诺双语诗歌的性质,特别是双语双关语的诗歌运用,以及由此引发的关于翻译的用途和可能性的问题。本文以本雅明的文章《译者的任务》为试金石,并在翻译和迁移之间建立隐喻联系,将双语文字游戏视为一种语言到另一种语言的桥梁或翻译,跨越和打破两种语言之间的边界和等级。为了说明这一点,从社会语言学和诗歌的角度考察了双语的文化习俗和使用,并举例说明双关语、(错误)发音、俚语、外来词和西班牙语和英语的混合如何在双语诗歌中使用,以达到正式和辩论的效果。
