Abstract
This dissertation investigates the presence of deforming tendencies in the English translations of Naguib Mahfouz's seminal novel, Children of the Alley (1959). Published in 1981 and 1996 respectively, the translations by Peter Theroux and Philip Stewart offer valuable access to this cornerstone of Arabic literature for English-speaking audiences. The study employs Antoine Berman's (1985) model of the "twelve deforming tendencies in translation" as a framework to analyze how these translations might have unintentionally deviated from the essence of Mahfouz's work. Berman argues for a translation that preserves the "foreignness" of the original, emphasizing the importance of conveying not just the semantic content, but also the cultural nuances and literary style. This dissertation addresses this gap by providing a detailed examination of how specific stylistic choices, cultural references, and socio-political commentary are handled in the translations. This dissertation seeks to answer the following questions: To what extent do Theroux's and Stewart's translations exhibit deforming tendencies as outlined by Berman's model? How do these deforming tendencies, if present, affect the overall meaning, stylistic features, and cultural references of the original Arabic text? This dissertation employs a close reading approach, meticulously comparing the Arabic text with both English translations. Each deforming tendency will be examined by identifying instances where the translations seem to deviate from the stylistic choices, cultural references, or implicit meanings present in the original. Additionally, relevant scholarly literature on literary translation, Arabic literature, and Naguib Mahfouz's work will be employed to contextualize the analysis. This investigation aims to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the art and challenges of literary translation. By analyzing deforming tendencies, the study sheds light on the intricate process of transferring a literary masterpiece across linguistic and cultural boundaries.
