| Abstract: | My project studies the concept of translation in post-colonial literary discourse as theorized by Homi Bhabha, Tejaswini Niranjana and Gayatri Spivak. I take up the site of translation as practice that shapes the relations of power as well as one’s identity. To exemplify the performative nature of translation I introduce short episodes from the reception of Shakespeare in Indian context as great literary transformation as well as the reception of Ibsen’s A Doll House as translation of the “new woman” into 1920s Chinese society. |
