Journal Article
Religious Intertextuality as Translation Challenge
2020
Overview
Intertextuality is a semiotic-dialogic concept connoting the various connections which bond a text to another/others or the perception that all texts contain echoes and reverberations of past or contemporaneous texts. As a literary device taking forms like allusions, quotations, etc., intertextuality is a significant stage in deciphering any piece of literature, as it is essential to perceive how other works have affected the writer and how different texts are implemented in the piece to convey certain meanings. The potential for failure to identify intertexts between languages and across cultures is likely to be greater than within them, and thus they throw up challenges to translators. So, this study investigates the recognisability and translatability of intertextual references of religious dimensions in Mahfouz's Sugar Street. The findings show that, to minimize the loss of the intertextual context of STs, translators resort to strategies that, in addition to achieving a certain level of semantic equivalence based on linguistic acceptability in the TL, ensure that such context is captured and relayed into the TL.
