Deconstruction and Translation explains ways in which many
practical and theoretical problems of translation can be rethought
in the light of insights from the French philosopher Jacques
Derrida. If there is no one origin, no transcendent meaning, and
thus no stable source text, we can no longer talk of translation as
meaning transfer or as passive reproduction. Kathleen Davis instead
refers to the translator's freedom and individual responsibility.
Her survey of this complex field begins from an analysis of the
proper name as a model for the problem of signification and
explains revised concepts of limits, singularity, generality,
definitions of text, writing, iterability, meaning and intention.
The implications for translation theory are then elaborated,
complicating the desire for translatability and incorporating sharp
critique of linguistic and communicative approaches to translation.
The practical import of this approach is shown in analyses of the
ways Derrida has been translated into English. In all, the text
offers orientation and guidance through some of the most
conceptually demanding and rewarding fields of contemporary
translation theory.
