Abstract
This study is an attempt to pinpoint the mutual relationships between translation and development in modern Iran and the dynamics involved over the past 100 years. Adopting a sociosemiotic perspective, the relevant data gathered is dealt with in terms of insights from both development and Translation Studies. A new set of mental and material interlingual and intersemiotic phenomena throughout two separate, yet interconnected, time intervals specified is introduced as developmental (semio) translations. The results indicate that throughout the past 100 years, approaches to socio-economic, as well as cultural, development have contributed to the quantity and quality of (semio) translations, and (semio) translations too have contributed to the improvement of the indices of development across Iran. The findings of the research highlight the fact that translating from European languages in modern Iran has been instrumental in improving the indices mentioned and proved fruitful in enriching the national language, Persian. Yet, this has also provoked some cultural as well as linguistic challenges among more conservative, traditional elites. Translation as a whole, however, did play a monumental role in establishing a large number of the concepts and values introduced by the relevant literature in developmental approaches.
Résumé
La présente étude vise à cerner les relations réciproques entre la traduction et le développement dans l’Iran moderne, ainsi que les dynamiques à l’œuvre au cours des cent dernières années. Adoptant une perspective sociosémiotique, elle analyse les données pertinentes recueillies à la lumière des connaissances issues à la fois des études sur le développement et des études de traduction. Un nouvel ensemble de phénomènes interlinguaux et intersémiotiques, à la fois mentaux et matériels, observés au cours de deux périodes distinctes mais interconnectées, est présenté sous le terme de (sémio)traductions développementales. Les résultats montrent qu’au cours des cent dernières années, les approches du développement socio-économique et culturel ont contribué à la quantité et à la qualité des (sémio)traductions, tandis que celles-ci ont, à leur tour, favorisé l’amélioration des indicateurs de développement en Iran. Les conclusions de cette recherche mettent en évidence le rôle déterminant joué par la traduction à partir des langues européennes dans l’Iran moderne, tant pour l’amélioration des indicateurs que pour l’enrichissement de la langue nationale, le persan. Toutefois, ce processus a également suscité certaines résistances et soulevé des défis culturels et linguistiques au sein des élites les plus conservatrices et traditionnelles. Néanmoins, la traduction a globalement joué un rôle majeur dans l’établissement de nombreux concepts et valeurs véhiculés par la littérature consacrée aux approches du développement.
