Sometimes, it is seen as “mediation”, or “intervention” and other times, it is seen as sheer “manipulation”, however, these terms all seem to describe the shifts that are found in the target-text, reflecting an ideology not found in the source text. The significance of these kinds of shifts, lies in the fact that they serve to either endorse or resist prevalent ideologies among the audience of the target culture. Applying Teun van Dijk’s multidisciplinary socio-cognitive approach of the ‘ideological square’ (1998; 2011) as well as Hatim & Mason’s (2005) model of the degrees of translators’ mediation, this paper explores how discriminatory ideologies such as racism, misogyny and xenophobia are dealt with in the process of translating Shakespeare’s Othello.

During this period, much of the intellectual tradition of the Greeks, Persians, and Indians was translated into Arabic-a language with no prior history of translation or of science, medicine, or philosophy. This book investigates the cultural and political conflicts that translation brought into the new Abbasid state from a sociological perspective, treating translation as a process and a product. The opening chapters outline the factors involved in the initiation and cessation of translational activity in the Abbasid period before dealing in individual chapters with important events in the Translation Movement, such as the translation of Aristotle's Poetics into Arabic, Abdullah ibn al-Muqaffa's seminal translation of the Indian/Persian Kalilah wa Dimna into Arabic, and the translation of scientific texts. Other chapters address the question of whether the Abbasids had a theory of translation and why, despite three hundred years of translation, not a single poem was translated into Arabic. The final chapter deals with the influence of translation during this period on the Arabic language. Offering new readings of many issues that are associated with that period, informed by modern theories of translation, this is key reading for scholars and researchers in Translation Studies, Oriental and Arab Studies, Book History, and Cultural History.

This is one reason why, while all literary texts, and especially poetry, can pose enormous difficulties to translators, haiku has unique ones. This essay is a pragmatic investigation into how issues of language, prosody, and cultural expectation can be resolved to recreate in English a living poem that retains the source text's content, emotional nuance, and aesthetic atmosphere. It proposes the idea of ‘aesthetic equivalence’ and applies it to a number of renowned haiku considered notoriously resistant to English rendition. A number of previous English translations of them are also critiqued.
