讲座摘要：

Under the “power turn”or “political turn” in translation studies, omissions and untranslatability are often seen as the product of censorship or self-censorship in the prevalent socio-political context. The ideology of each individual translating agent is often neglected as an important contributing factor to such untranslatability.  In this talk I argue that while translation theorists under the current “sociological turn” view social factors as the overarching factors in determining translation activities and strategies, I will show howthe interaction between the translator’s or the dramatist’s ideology and belief systems interact with the socio-cultural milieu to carve out a unique drama production, using the Chinese stage productions of the Merchant of Venice as an example.  My talk offers a comprehensive approach in tracing the hermeneutical process of the translators/directors as a reader and the situational process and semiotics of theatre translation, which altogether gives rise to the image of translated literature which in turn influences audience reception.（尽管当前“社会学转向”下的翻译研究将社会因素视为决定翻译活动和策略的首要因素，我将以莎剧《威尼斯商人》的中文翻译为例，展示译者或戏剧家的意识形态如何与社会环境因素互动。是次演讲探讨译者/导演的诠释过程，以及戏剧翻译的实际过程如何产生翻译文体，进而影响听众的接受和诠释。）
