AbstractRemarkable efforts have been made in Translation and Interpreting Studies to test the subservient habitus hypothesis formulated by Simeoni (1998) in his seminal work. In the face of increasing evidence that translators tend to reproduce a given society’s or community’s prevalent norms and contribute to the stability of such norms (Toury 1978), subversive translation practices have been reported (Delabastita 2011; Woods 2012) and indeed promoted as a way of fostering social and cultural change (Levine 1991; Venuti 1992). However, insights into how translators’ subservient or subversive habitus develop and depart from each other are still lacking. In order to shed light on this gray area, this article scrutinizes the contrasts between the habitus of professional legal translators who acquiesce to and who reject the norms governing their positions in the field. Special attention is given to those who decide to abandon the translation field. Their behavior is examined by relating habitus to forms of socialization and studying the implications of their strategies. Based on a case study drawn from interview data, this article focuses on the social practices of resistance and rebellion vis-à-vis subservience, and the impact of both on translation workplaces, work processes, and translators’ futures.

不安静翻译的案例研究

摘要在翻译和口译研究中已经做出了显着的努力来检验 Simeoni (1998) 在其开创性著作中提出的从属惯习假说。面对越来越多的证据表明,翻译者倾向于复制特定社会或社区的流行规范并为这些规范的稳定性做出贡献(Toury 1978),颠覆性翻译实践已被报道(Delabastita 2011;Woods 2012)并且确实被推广为一种方式促进社会和文化变革(Levine 1991;Venuti 1992)。然而,对于译者的屈从或颠覆习惯如何发展和彼此背离的见解仍然缺乏。为了阐明这个灰色地带,这篇文章仔细研究了专业法律翻译的习惯之间的对比,他们默认和拒绝管理他们在该领域的立场的规范。特别关注那些决定放弃翻译领域的人。通过将习惯与社会化形式联系起来并研究他们的策略的含义来检查他们的行为。本文基于从访谈数据中提取的案例研究,重点关注反抗和反抗相对于屈从的社会实践,以及两者对翻译工作场所、工作流程和译员未来的影响。
