Abstract:

Intersubjective psychoanalysis is a popular topic in contemporary psychoanalytic research. Its development path of gradually dissolving the binary division within the discipline is aligned with the development history of Translation Studies (TS). The study first explored the relatedness of the two from the concepts of “relevant theories”, “dialogue” and “space”, and found the clinical methods and logics that integrate both the “internal and external” factors upheld by intersubjective psychoanalysis school can help us renovate the map of TS. In addition, they can, based on the presuppositions of co-existence, co-possession, and co-relation, broaden the theoretic horizons, enrich methodologies, and extend topics of the current translation studies. The article also sorted out the development routes of the two disciplines, outlined connections between them, and proposed eighteen possible pathways for future descriptive translation studies with cross-disciplinary TS studies as the core and psychoanalysis as a tool. That may develop the current discourse of translation criticism, deepen our understanding of the translation nature, and widen the channel for further dialogue, mutual learning, and integration between the two disciplines.

Key words: psychoanalysis, translation studies, intersubjectivity, relevance theory
