In her résumé the author evaluates the productivity of an intersectional approach for comparative translation research. She maintains that intersectionality theory has itself become an object of cultural translation and, in the context of historical research, created a new analytical sensitivity to how translation processes can bring about shifts in power balances and identity constructs.

Early Modern Translation Research from an Intersectional Perspective: A Résumé

  • Regina Toepfer

摘要

In her résumé the author evaluates the productivity of an intersectional approach for comparative translation research. She maintains that intersectionality theory has itself become an object of cultural translation and, in the context of historical research, created a new analytical sensitivity to how translation processes can bring about shifts in power balances and identity constructs. Her contribution identifies gender as a primary intersectional category, distinguishes between different levels of intersectional translation analysis, and outlines important marginalization strategies used in translation. These include domestication and elimination, masculinization and femininization, normalization and sexualization, perversion and racialization. Overall, the author comes to a positive conclusion about the usefulness of intersectional translation analysis for the study of Early Modern translation cultures and suggests that it can also be applied to other historical periods.
