A Study on the Representation of Focalization in Novel Translation : Focusing on the Korean Translations of Tales of Hulan River.
This study examines the representation of focalization in literary translation through a comparative analysis of two Korean translations of Xiao Hong’s Tales of Hulan River. The novel constructs a distinctive narrative structure through the interaction of omniscient narration, child-centered narration, and retrospective narration by the adult “I.” Drawing on narratological theories of focalization, this study analyzes how shifts in narrative perspective emerge in the process of translation and how such shifts influence readers’ perception of the text. The analysis shows that the overall focalization structure is largely maintained in translation, but noticeable shifts occur in narrative distance, discourse mode, explanatory expressions, and the representation of perception. In several cases, the child narrator’s intuitive and fragmentary perception is reconstructed into a more explanatory and coherent form, while the retrospective distance of the adult narrator is also partially adjusted in translation. As a result, subtle changes occur in the emotional tone, narrative atmosphere, and aesthetic effects experienced by readers. This study argues that focalization is not only a major narrative device in literary fiction but also an important issue in literary translation. The representation of focalization in translation plays a significant role in reconstructing narrative perception and literary style in translation.
