Post-colonial translations are located in 'contact zones'. They mediate in the interface of disparate cultures and languages. The multiple determinations and effects of this decisive mediation process are examined in a close reading of the Afrikanissimo-project and the translation of Tsitsi Dangarembga's novel Nervous Conditions. They represent an attempt to engage 'Africa' through literature from a German perspective. Such dialogue is caught in the aporetic tension between the preservation of linguistic and cultural difference of the foreign text and the domestication of the cultural other by dominant values in the target-language culture. 2014-10-01T11:35:19Z 2014-10-01T11:35:19Z 2001 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/7887 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
