중국 전통 곤곡 영역본의 트랜스크리에이션 양상 연구 - 탕현조(湯顯祖)의 “모란정(牡丹亭)”을 중심으로 -

초록

This study examines the transcreational aspects of the Chinese Kunqu The Peony Pavilion in order to bridge the linguistic, temporal, and cultural gaps when introducing it to English-speaking audiences. Specifically, the focus is on the section called “An Enchanting Dream” in The Peony Pavilion. Building upon previous research that categorizes transcreation practices into three aspects, this analysis investigates the patterns and frequency of transcreation practices in the English version of “An Enchanting Dream”. The results reveal that the majority of transcreational practices involve either altering the “form” alone or both the “form” and “meaning”, while there were no instances found where all three elements of “form”, “meaning”, and “intention” were transformed. In other words, the objective of conveying The Peony Pavilion to other cultural realms and enhancing the understanding of readers from different cultures remains unchanged. By analyzing the transcreational aspects of The Peony Pavilion, this study seeks to enhance cross-cultural understanding of Chinese theatrical art and contribute to the promotion of cultural exchange and fusion between East and West.
