Feminist Çeviri Kuramı Bağlamında Eşdeğerlik, Çevirmenin Öznelliği ve Yeniden‑Yazma

This study examines the interrelated concepts of equivalence, translator subjectivity, and rewriting within the framework of feminist translation theory. Departing from traditional notions of objectivity and neutrality in translation, feminist translation theory foregrounds the translator’s ideological position, political agency, and gendered perspective. In this context, equivalence is reconceptualized not as linguistic fidelity, but as an ethical and interpretive act shaped by feminist intervention. Translator subjectivity is central to this process, as it enables the translator to question patriarchal discourses, introduce alternative narratives, and reclaim space for marginalized voices. Rewriting, as articulated by Lefevere and further developed by feminist scholars such as Simon, von Flotow, and Godard, is approached as a deliberate and transformative act of ideological repositioning. Through a critical synthesis of feminist theoretical contributions, this study argues that translation is a site of resistance and negotiation where meaning is actively constructed rather than passively transferred. The paper contributes to feminist translation studies by highlighting the strategic potential of translation as a feminist practice that challenges dominant discourses and fosters gender-conscious textual reproduction.
