政府公部門的翻譯贊助與台灣文學的外譯──以《台灣文學外譯書目提要（1990-2011）》為例

Governmental Patronage on the Translation ofTaiwan Literature into Foreign Languages:A Case of Bibliographical Synopses of Translated Taiwan Literature(1990-2011)

本論文借光勒菲弗爾（André Lefevere）的文學翻譯理論與克羅寧（Michael Cronin）的翻譯政治觀點，探討《台灣文學外譯書目提要（1990-2011）》中的作品類型、作家性別、譯者背景，以及不同語種間的譯本關係，同時針對外部的讀者影響、文學市場結構等面向，進行政府公部門的翻譯贊助對台灣文學外譯的影響研究。研究結果發現，台灣文學在不同語種間形成不同的特色。各語種在作家性別的選擇、作品文類與作家類型的挑選上自成體系。英文、日文、韓文的翻譯贊助人多集中於學術界，譯介書籍的考量具有專業性與策略性；其他語種的譯者多為知台派，譯者翻譯選書較為興趣取向。為提高台灣的國家文化競爭力，政府公部門應富意識性地投注足夠的人力與經費，持續支持台灣文學外譯這項重要國家文化建設及海外推廣之工作。
