EDITING PROCESS OF THE TRANSLATED TEXT AS A MEANS TO RECOVER THE INTERTEXTUAL GAP: FROM SOUL MUSIC TO RUH MÜZİĞİ

Abstract

The concept of intertextuality, as coined and defined by Julia Kristeva, may be explained as an intersection of textual surfaces in which there are many meanings embedded in one text and any text consists of many references to other texts; thus, it is possible to assert that the possible interpretations of any text is limitless due to the different backgrounds of the author and each reader, and also due to the different intertextual comprehensions regarding their different past readings or the various interpretations of the same readings. This study analyzes the problem of intertextual losses in translated literary texts due to cultural and linguistic differences, and possible compensation for these losses with the in-text additions during the editing step. The study is based on the case book titled Soul Music by Terry Pratchett, published in 2019 by Delidolu Publishing under the title Ruh Müziği. The interlingual translation of an intertextually rich text is under the risk of losing its connection with “other source texts” due to cultural and linguistic differences between different cultures. In this regard, preservation of such references is an obligation in order to achieve an equivalent translation. This study examines such transfer problems in translation process and their possible solutions to compensate for the loss of meaning.
