A Framework for Studying Cultural Psychology in Translation
For the simple reason that mental-emotive activities are necessarily involved in turning a text from one language into another,translation is naturally associated with psychology.While this is generally acknowledged,the current studies of translation psychology are less than adequate.Starting with a survey of the findings of cultural psychology as an academic field,this paper investigates the way cultural psychological factors function in translation and the effects they tend to produce in the translational process,and goes on to propose a systematic framework for exploring the cultural psychological dimension of translation.Within such a framework,attention is directed to how translators make context-specific use of the mediating artifacts(cultures)in their professional practices.A call is also made for translation scholars not just to attach more importance to psychological issues involved,but also to reflect on how culture-related psychological factors affect their own study of translation.
