The Disciplinary Matrix of a Knowledge-centered Translatology
What is a knowledge-centered studies of translation?And how to define its disciplinary matrix?These two questions await investigation.This paper offers a theoretical examination of the four components of a knowledge-centered translatology's disciplinary matrix,namely,its metaphysical foundation,theoretical formation,value judgment,and paradigm of practice,in line with Kant's classification of the four categories of knowledge understanding and judgment.Within such a matrix,we rethink typical instances of untranslatability so as to shed further light on the nature of knowledge transfer through translation.In conclusion,we argue that knowledge-centered translations can best be understood theoretically as involving a productive process whereby local knowledge is carried over to the transformative meeting ground of world knowledge,and practically,knowledge-centered translations are realized through mutually borrowing,identifying and producing of knowledge between two languages or two forms of life,for the benefit of both parties.
