ABSTRACT This article argues that in reading comparatively the Arabic and English versions of Hanan al-Shaykh’s 1980 Ḥikāyat Zahra, a pattern of omitting race and racial language emerges in the English version, published in 1986. I use a close reading of the translation’s selective appropriation of the original’s racial and political language to argue for a more intersectional approach to Arabic women’s writing, even as I acknowledge the structural and institutional contexts and constraints under which they operate and circulate in the global market of “world literature.”

为全球消费粉饰阿拉伯语：翻译《扎赫拉的故事》中的种族

摘要 本文认为，在对比阅读 Hanan al-Shaykh 1980 Ḥikāyat Zahra 的阿拉伯语和英语版本时，1986 年出版的英语版本中出现了省略种族和种族语言的模式。我仔细阅读了翻译的选择性挪用尽管我承认她们在“世界文学”的全球市场中运作和流通的结构和制度背景以及限制条件，但我还是会考虑原著的种族和政治语言，以主张对阿拉伯女性写作采取更加交叉的方法。
