Reference is made to German hermeneutics and the contemporary translation theories of scholars such as Lawrence Venuti, Peter Robinson and Matthew Reynolds, in order to elucidate how Yeats negotiated between fidelity and more free and self-conscious appropriation of the Greek originals. The Abbey theatre’s use of classic, foreign plays as part of its repertoire is also addressed as a significant context for understanding the...

The essay starts by exploring some of the modes of intracultural translation used by the authors of the créolité movement but focuses on Ina Césaire's novel Zonzon tête carrée, where cultural difference is downplayed in favor of another approach to translation developed from an internal Caribbean perspective. Even though Ina Césaire... DownloadBookmark Share your papersUpload Your Papers
