Re-reading of Salman Rushdie’s Novels Through Postcolonial Intralingual Translation

This paper examines how intralingual translation rewrites hegemonic history as a mode of resistance and renewal in postcolonial writing to empower ‘translated men. Taking a cue from Roman Jakobson’s theory of intralingual translation, this research shows how it has merged with cultural studies to enable postcolonial rewriting and transformation in Salman Rushdie’s novels. Among others, I explore how techniques of back-translation, palimpsest and veil work metaphorically to resist the dominant knowledge and hegemonic power, helping individual characters to find avenues of transformation and translation in a postcolonial context. Ultimately, this paper demonstrates that the features of intralingual translation, such as rewriting, repetition, and elaboration, can be subversive enough to open up a possibility of what Rushdie calls “non-stop self-regeneration” in the postcolonial context.
