Honyaku to Zatsu Shin Dulcinea Blanca

[Machine Translation] Kim So-eun, who was concerned about the disappearance of the language of his people, abandoned his own creative work to preserve the poetic sentiment of his people for future generations, and devoted his life to collecting and translating children's and folk songs. Kim So-eun, on the other hand, retranslated Kim So-eun's works. This is a novel theory of translation that connects the "translator's mission," which is rooted in this double act of misrepresenting one's origins, with the translation/creation practices of Nishiwaki Junzaburo and Yoshimasu Gozo, and sharply addresses the issue of otherness, which is a key opportunity in literature.

民族の言語が消滅することを憂い、その詩情を後世に残さんがために己の創作を放棄し、童謡・民謡の採集と翻訳に生涯をかけた金素雲。そして、金素雲を再訳する金時鐘。これらいわば二重の意味で出自を詐称する行為に通底する「翻訳者の使命」を、西脇順三郎や吉増剛造などの広義の翻訳=創作実践とつなげ、文学の重要な契機である他者性の問題に鋭く切りこむ斬新な翻訳論。
