Dysfunction and Its Effect in Literary Translation

ABSTRACT: As we acknowledge that the process of translation underwrites cultural exchanges
 across disciplines, we can no longer consider the act of translating and its results
 to be value-free. Rather, while the results express the reciprocal relationship between
 cultures, we are compelled to question how one culture becomes altered and transformed
 by its encounter with another. It is the aim of this article to illustrate, with the
 help of selective examples of translations of prose and poetry, how aspects of dysfunction
 in translating not only distort, but deny the world as we know it to be, hence beg
 the question “when is translation no longer translation but something else?”
