Abstract

Translation Criticism of Gore Vidal’s The City and The Pillar through Queer Culture and Camp Talk Translation Human rights, gender, minority cultures and groups that were invisible in translation with the dominance of Anglo-Saxon-European centered practices and language have became visible with the upcoming of target-oriented translation studies into practice. Being among the focus centers oftranslation theories after 1980’s, gender and queer translation issues have became major issues and visible through socio-political and linguistic fields in the 1990’s. Shaped after the 90’s and beingone of the activist translation theories developed effectively in translation studies, queer translation has also came into practice in academic and sociological fields in Turkey. Queer theory, queer languages and gender in translation have started to be practiced effectively in international and national platforms and numerous articles have started to be written in these issues.In this article, current status of queer culture, queer translation and queer languages throughout international context and current status of the topics in Turkey will be examined through translation criticism of Gore Vidal’s The City and The Pillar which is considered to be oneofthe first writings of American gay literature and which has been translated into Turkish by FatihÖzgüven in 1998 as Kent ve Tuz

Abstract

Çeviri alanında erek odaklı çevirinin merkez konuma gelmesiyle, çeviri alanında yüzyıllardır Anglo Sakson-Avrupa ekseninde yoğunlaşan kaynak metinlere bağlı olarak görünmez hale gelen insan hakları, cinsiyet, çeşitli kültürler, azınlık gruplar ve olgular aynı zamanda çeviride görünürlük kazanmaya başladı. 1980’ler sonrası çeviri kuramlarının odak noktalarından birisi olan cinsiyet ve kuir çeviri konuları, 1990’larda gerek sosyo-politik gerek dilbilimsel alanda sesini duyurmaya başladı. 1990’lar sonrası şekillenen ve çeviribilimin içinde etkili bir biçimde ilerleyen aktivist çeviri kuramlarından birisi olan kuir çeviri, ülkemizde de akademik ve sosyolojik alanda yer edinmeye ve incelenmeye başlandı. Kuir teori, kuir dilleri ve çeviride cinsiyet konuları ulusal ve uluslararası platformda aktif bir şekilde işlenmeye ve bu konuların üzerine sayısız akademik makale yayınlanmaya başlandı. Bu makalede, kuir kültürü, çevirisi ve dillerinin uluslararası bağlamdaki güncel konumu, Türkiye’deki mevcut çalışmalar, Amerikan gey yazınının ilk eserlerinden sayılan, Türkçeye 1998 yılında Fatih Özgüven tarafından çevrilen Kent ve Tuz The City and The Pillar eseri çeviri eleştirisi bağlamında incelenecektir
