Offering an original reconceptualization of literary translation,
Clive Scott argues against traditional approaches to the theory and
practice of translation. Instead he suggests that translation
should attend more to the phenomenology of reading, triggering
creative textual thinking in the responsive reader rather than
testing the hermeneutic skills of the professional translator. In
this new guise, translation enlists the reader as an active
participant in the constant re-fashioning of the text's structural,
associative, intertextual and intersensory possibilities, so that
our larger understanding of ecology, anthropology, comparative
literature and aesthetics is fundamentally transformed and our
sense of the expressive resources of language radically extended.
Literary translation thus assumes an existential value which takes
us beyond the text itself to how it situates us in the world, and
what part it plays in the geography of human relationships.
