If I certainly lose in translation, what I may gain?

Key Points

Translation often results in loss of original features, yet it can also create new narratives.
Theories of deconstruction, especially those by Derrida, support the notion of gaining independence in translation.
Few theorists acknowledge the emergence of self-contained narratives that arise from the translation process.
The discussion emphasizes the dual nature of translation, where loss and gain coexist and inform each other.

Abstract

This paper discusses the losses that occur in the process of translation, especially in literary translation, but it also addresses the possibilities of translation gain that can emerge independently and unstoppably based on the work of Derrida of deconstruction. Thus, if most of the translation theorists complain about how much original features of the source text are damaged, few of them talk about the birth of a new text, a new self-contained narrative that fights for its independence.
