PRACTICING LITERARY TRANSLATION
A SYMPOSIUM BY MAIL
ROUND 11
V. V. B. Rama Rao, Ph.D.
MY VIEW
To my mind, there could be no domination or contamination, for literary translation is a task voluntarily undertaken with sufficient concern and interest for both the original text and the target readership. There is no temptation to shortchange. The consciousness inhabiting the two worlds is inclusively large-hearted and understanding. The practicing translator prefers being behind the curtain unobtrusively and does not arrogate to powers he does not have. It is an exercise in self-effacement, a near divine quality.
EXPANDING LIFE
Literary texts are given expanding life in that they are carried into another language to another speech community. The texts are rejuvenated inthe sense that in a new language they are given another wash and polishing with the result that they attract attention of further readers providing opportunities for the text to enter fresh fields in the area of literature. This kind of creative work sustains itself as long as man goes in for fresh insights and fresh understanding of the cultures around. And then, the exercise, as Mini Krishnan says rightly, is a patriotic one too.
Seasoned literary translators Jesscha Kessler, N. Kunju, Divik Ramesh, Poranki Dakshinamurty, and Rekha Vyas participate in the Round Eleven Symposium and offer their insightful thought on the art of literary translation.
A WORD FROM THE MODERATOR
One way of acquiring insights is listening to the experiences of others. Kindly come forward with your ideas and experiences. The more we think and read, the more would be the opportunity to tread new paths. May the Deity of Learning lead us forward!
