Translation Theory is the theoretical engine of Translation Studies, which examines the process
and products of interlingual translation in all its aspects. As such, it borrows freely from other
theoretical traditions.
In the following I offer only some brief suggestions to those seeking to get their feet wet rather
than go for total immersion.
Subject Headings:
LC: Translating and Interpreting. (Does not single out theory. Keyword searches in WorldCat of
this heading in the descriptor search together with theory will sometimes yield relevant results, with
“theory” belonging to a different subject heading.
MLA: Translation Theory (MLA does offer this heading)
(Very) Selected Bibliography.
Venuti, Lawrence, ed. The Translation Studies Reader. 2nd edition. New York, Routledge, 2004)
This collection, arranged in chronological order, includes most seminal essays in the field. Venuti’s introduction has a useful section addressing “What is a translation Theory?” My recommended sampling of its essays illustrating a few different approaches follows:
Philosophical approaches:
Most cited by other scholars: Walter Benjamin, “The Task of the Translator” Is translation really possible? W.V.O. Quine, “Meaning and Translation.”
Hermeneutics. George Steiner, “The Hermeneutic Motion.”
Translation as recodification. William Frawley, “Prolegomenon to a Theory of Translation”
Polysystems Theory – Descriptive Translation Studies
Itamar Even‐Zohar. “The Position of Translated Literature within the Literary Polysystem.”
Andre Lefevere, “Mother Courage’s Cucumbers: Text, system and refraction in a theory of literature.”
Gideon Toury. “The Nature and Role of Norms in Translation.”
Postcolonial Theory
Spivak, Gayatry Chakravorty. “The Politics of Translation”
Skopos Theory – the idea that works should be translated according to the purpose of
the translation. Hans J. Vermeer. “Skopos and Commission in Translational Action.” Baker, Mona, ed. Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies. (New York and
London:
Routledge, 1998). Also contains useful overviews of theoretical approaches. READER-RESPONSE CRITICISM
Reader-response criticism maintains that the interpretive activities of readers, rather than the author’s intention
or the text’s structure, explain a text’s significance and aesthetic value….The modern versions include
psychological and theoretical accounts of the reader’s activity and sociohistorical accounts of a text’s
interpretations or an author’s reception.
(excerpted from The Online John Hopkins Guide to Literary Theory and Criticism) Keywords: reader-response approach, reception theory, aesthetic experience, interpretative communities,
women readers (or other specific groups of readers)

Deconstruction
Deconstruction is a method or practice of reading developed by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida
to uncover that which is forgotten, hidden or repressed in texts. It thus interrogates key concepts in the
philosophical tradition, and questions the dualisms or binary oppositions that undergird Western thought
(presence/absence, nature/culture, speech/writing, etc). In literary studies, deconstructionists do not seek
to find a single meaning for a work or works, but rather uncover the multiplicity of meanings, often
unacknowledged and even contradictory, that exist in literary texts. Yet they do not attempt to reconcile
those meanings into a single, coherent structure. Instead, they explore how those meanings are
ultimately irreconcilable and proliferate in ways that call into question received assumptions or “truths.”

Psychoanalytic Criticism
Created by John Novak for LES Membership Forum. June 28, 2008 Page 1
Psychoanalytic criticism takes the techniques of psychoanalysis as initially developed by
Sigmund Freud and applies them in an examination of literature.
For our purposes, analysis tends to be either about the author, the reader, the characters in
the text, or the formal aspects of the work. For example, one can analyze a work to reveal the mind of the author, explore how a reader creates meaning, or explain the actions and motivations of characters in a work. Based on Lacan’s famous dictum “the
unconscious is structured like language,” psychoanalytic critics also apply their techniques to examine the formal aspects of literature.
Below are some places to help you provide reference on psychoanalytic criticism. It is more of a starting point than an attempt at comprehensiveness.
Key terms: the self; the gaze; the Oedipus complex; desire; drives; projection; sublimation, fetish; uncanny; (return of) the repressed.
Key figures associated with psychoanalysis
Sigmund Freud; Carl Jung; Jacques Lacan; Slavoj Zizek; Melanie Klein; Ernest Jones;
Simon Lesser; Julia Kristeva

Selective Bibliography of Works
For quick reference
Abrams, M.H. A Glossary of Literary Terms. Boston: Thomson Wadsworth, 2005. When answering reference questions about psychoanalytic criticism, I point students first to the
entry entitled "Psychological and Psychoanalytic Criticism" (p. 256-262. In five pages, Abrams
provides an overview of this school of criticism without overwhelming the student (or at least it
simplifies the concept enough for a student to get started).
Briganti, Chiara, et al. "Psychoanalytic Theory and Criticism." The Johns Hopkins Guide
to Literary Theory and Criticism. Eds. Michael Groden, Martin Kriswirth and Imre Szeman. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins UP, 2005. 777-87.
In three sections, entitled 1. Traditional Freudian Criticism; 2. Reconceptualizing Freud; 3. The
Post-Lacanians. Combined, these sections provide a historical overview of
psychoanalytic
criticism, noting major players and movements within psychoanalysis. Each section ends with an
excellent bibliography or primary texts.

Barry, Peter. Beginning Theory: An Introduction to Literary and Cultural Theory. 2nd ed. Manchester: Manchester UP, 1995.
Contains a chapter on psychoanalytic criticism giving equal weight to Freud and Lacan. Also
provides sample psychoanalytic literary analyses of works of fiction.
Eagleton, Terry. Literary Theory: An Introduction. Minneapolis: U of Minnesota P, 1983.
Devotes an entire chapter to Psychoanalysis (p. 151-193) and makes Freud and Lacan understandable to the uninitiated. The latter part of the chapter, beginning on p.179, shows how
their works operate in psychoanalytic literary criticism.
