Abstract
The ultimate goal of translation sometimes goes beyond meaning. It is pivotal in bridging communication and understanding among societies and nations. It also opens up a new door of dialogue among different cultures. Translating Arabic identity markers in Al-Mu‟allaqat into English keeps cultural diversity and creates creativity by preserving the differences between Arabic and English linguacultural systems. So, maintaining identity in translation is a means of social peace and stability. Being deeply rooted in the Arabian sociocultural and historical milieu, translating Arabic identity markers in Al-Mu‟allaqat into English is a thorny and challenging task. Al-Mu‟allaqat, as a canonical and highly conventionalized text, is full of sociocultural and historical aspects. Since those aspects are replete with belonging and affiliations, they are considered capsules of Arabic identity markers. Hence, translators of such capsules encounter real challenges regarding identity markers. Any unjustifiable addition, omission or substitution of those capsules may result in obliterating or even losing the Arab identity. This study hypothesizes that the inappropriate rendition of Arabic identity markers in Al-Mu‟allaqat into English violates the source language genre and affects the construction side of the global Arabic identity. It also hypothesizes that recontextualizing Arabic identity markers in translating Al-Mu‟allaqat into English obliterates the Arab identity. As one of its aims, the current study aims at exploring the most frequent translation strategy in translating Arabic identity markers in Al-Mu‟allaqat into English. Another aim of the study is to determine which Arabic identity markers are more problematic for translators than others. Practically, this study adopts two models. Since the notion of identity markers is discursively constructed and socially constrained, De Fina‟s (2003) model of identity analysis is adopted. Besides, being ethically and discursively based, Venuti‟s (1995 ( model of foreignizing and domesticating translation strategies is adopted, too. Four English translations of Al-Mu‟allaqat are selected to test the validity of this study's hypotheses. (25) verse lines of Al-Mu‟allaqat are randomly chosen as samples. Those (25) samples are analyzed and discussed based on De Fina‟s (2003) model of identity analysis and Al-Faisal‟s (2002) commentary and assessed based on Venuti‟s (1995) model of foreignizing and domesticating translation strategies. The study concludes that translating Arabic identity markers in Al- Mu‟allaqat into English considers both micro and macro contexts. It also concludes that the more the source language genre shifts, the more Arabic identity markers are obliterated. The foreignizing translation strategy is the most frequent one for translating Arabic identity markers in Al-Mu‟allaqat into English. Additionally, recontextualizing Arabic identity markers in Al- Mu‟allaqat into English is a way of obliterating the Arab identity by using a domesticating translation strategy. Finally, the study gives some recommendations and suggestions for futuristic studies.
