Translators’ Gender Ideology And Its Impact On The Translation Product: The Aspect Of Female Gender Stereotype In Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales

Authors : Sekhri Ouided .

Abstract

This research seeks to investigate the differences encountered when exposed to translations made by male and female translators and their impact on the translation product. In addition, it tries to prove that gender ideology does have a crucial role in these distinctions. The purpose of this study is to understand how the translator’s ideology can influence the translation product, and how this influence can be seen through the translator’s language and perceived through their style, emphasis, and even omission of particular parts of the source texts, and their translation processes and techniques used. This study focuses most on raising gender awareness in the translation field especially that of Arabic-English-Arabic and uses a corpus study based upon ‘The Brothers Grimm’ fairy tales parts of a literary work as a case study.
