Translating China’s Power: The Collaborative Work Practice of Translating The Governance of China

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Diverse Voices in Chinese Translation and Interpreting

Part of the book series: New Frontiers in Translation Studies ((NFTS))

Abstract

This chapter approaches institutional translation as a multi-layered and multi-stage process and gives an account of the ‘collective dimension’ of political translation in China. Translating political speeches is not a solitary undertaking, but a collaborative work practice that can be deeply affected by interactional dynamics. The study seeks to reveal these dynamics in different stages of the translation process by taking the Italian version of The governance of China I as a case study. Specifically, it begins by shedding light on the growing use of political translation as a tool of PRC external propaganda, outlining not only the strategic narratives conveyed, but also the role of the institutions involved. In so doing, this study explores the organization of the translational act, providing insight into the selection of translators, their identity and the interactional dynamics that characterized their relationship with the Chinese reviewers. This article is deemed to contribute to the development of a common conceptual and empirical framework in the domain of political translation, that takes into due account the role of the specific factors that determine the institutional mode of translation, factors which to date have remained largely understudied by scholars in the field of translation studies.

Notes

  1. 1.

    As the twentieth century advanced, the idea that translation should be accomplished by one person alone gradually replaced the tradition of translation as teamwork in China (Hung 2006, 157).

  2. 2.

    Despite being the world’s second largest economy, China’s GDP per capita is still way down global ranking.

  6. 6.

    The term (in Chinese liang hui 两会) refers to the annual plenary sessions of the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

  7. 7.

    The Confucius Institute helped to contact the Bononia University Press and find translators (Hanban News 2019).

  8. 8.

    Talking of the official translation of The Selected Works of Mao Zedong Yin Chengdong, for instance, claims that it is the best quality ever reached by any other leader’s official translation since 1949 (Yin 2009).

  9. 9.

    The announcement of book’s release first appeared online under the title “Governare la Cina. Scritti e discorsi del presidente cinese (2012–2014)” (the Governance of China. Writings and speeches of the Chinese President) (Zappone 2018).

  10. 10.

    The award was reasoned by the book’s “congruence with Pavese’s own love and passion for his motherland and its social progress” (Xinhua 2019a).

  11. 11.

    The quotation is from Cai Mingzhao, former head of the State Council Information Office (and a possible compiler and editor of the book). Quoted in Swaine (2015), 1.

  12. 12.

    The equivalent “Tre rappresentatività” can be found, for instance in the paper “La Cina dopo Deng Xiaoping (1997–2006),” by prof. Guida Samarani (Ca Foscari University of Venice, 2006, Il Politico 71 (3): 213, Rubbettino Editore) or in “Classi e strati nella società cinese contemporanea: il contributo di alcuni studi recenti” by prof. Marina Miranda (University of Rome, 2005, Rivista degli studi orientali, Nuova Serie (78) ¾: 363–376) among others.

  13. 13.

    The correct translation is “Pensiero di Mao Zedong,” since in Italian language noun phrases tend to be head initial.

  14. 14.

    Previous studies have observed that probably the Italian readers of Governare la Cina have an average level of understanding of China’s situation much higher than the much more numerous and diversified English readers, and this point might have contributed to the choice of a relatively more conservative translation in the Italian edition (Zappone 2018).
