Journal Article
Reinventing the Wheel
2019
Overview
This paper presents a critique of hasty press translations of some socio-political terminologies, which have influenced the average Arabic receptors' perception of their living reality. These 'hasty' translations have been the natural result of successive information and knowledge explosions. Given the difficulty of knowing something about each discipline, a translator sometimes lacks the technical knowledge that enables him/her to fully understand many topics outside his/her specialty. Choosing the English word 'civil' as a pivotal term that had appeared before the 'Arab Spring' and was the subject matter of much controversy during and after these uprisings, this research paper tries to address these terms from 'domestication' and 'foreignization' perspectives. The research discusses the translations of the term 'civil'(مدني/ة) as appeared in the Media Arabic, exploring other words that were added to the term, such as (الدولة المدنية), الخدمة المدنية)), and المجتمع المدني)).
