Parallel Abstract 〈TOP〉

The translation of African literature in Taiwan has thus far garnered relatively little academic attention. Postcolonial approaches to translation recognise the propensity for demeaning, marginalising or entrenching negative stereotypes of African culture in literary translation. Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, a modern African classic, was intended to provide a dignified representation of Igbo (an ethnic group living primarily in modern-day Nigeria) culture in its narrative of Nigeria’s colonisation. Achebe spoke extensively about his work being aimed at redressing unfair portrayals of Africa in Western literature which had long exoticized the continent and its peoples. Although written in English, Achebe infused his work with Igbo vocabulary, making it carry the weight of the Igbo colonial experience. This study seeks to determine to what extent Mandarin translations of Things Fall Apart in Taiwan distort Achebe’s intended message by marginalising and reinforcing negative stereotypes of Africa, or conversely by rendering Igbo people and culture with dignity. To identify what types of strategies were employed to do this, two translations – by Anna Yang [楊安祥, 〈支離破碎〉 (1989)] and Huang Nu-ling [黃女玲, 〈分崩離析〉 (2014)] – are examined with a focus on their rendering of culture-specific items, dialogue, and belief systems, as well as how certain stereotypes are highlighted or avoided. The textual analysis reveals that Yang’s translation tends to adapt Achebe’s work in accordance with Mandarin language norms and stereotypes of Africa, depicting Igbo people and culture as less civilised, while Huang’s translation – backed up by extensive research – depicts them with greater dignity.
