Abstract

Translations, unlike the original works are always governed by ideological compulsions. And as it is the translator/translatress who codes, decodes the ST and (re)creates the TT, his/ her assumptions, world view, belief, values or in broader sense ‘ideology’ consciously or unconsciously is reflected in the translation. Moreover if a text written by woman is translated by a woman, then the translator’s subject position intervenes the translating process doing ideological shifts in various levels making the final product a different discourse. This article would provide a case study of my experience in translating Pratibha Ray’s Nishiddha Prithivi into English and the problematic and possibilities associated with translating woman.
