Translation and Big Details

In the age of big data, evidence keeps suggesting that small, elusive and
infrequent details make all the difference in our appreciation of human-
istic texts—​film, fiction, and philosophy. This book argues, from a cross-​
disciplinary perspective, that expertise in humanistic translation is precisely
the capacity to capture those details that are bigger than they seem. In
humanistic translation, the expert handling of big details usually serves
audiences and the original, but mala fide translation also works the details
for subtle manipulation and audience deception. A focus on textual detail is
therefore characteristic of humanistic translators but also compatible with
central claims of the cultural turn in translation studies. This book, written
by a scholar and teacher of literary, essayistic, and audiovisual transla-
tion, endeavors to articulate a seemingly dual interest—​on textual detail
and cultural analysis—​as a single one. It theorizes connections between
micro and macro analysis, between translation as detail and translation
as culture, thus hoping to build bridges between humanistic translators
and translation scholars. It acknowledges tensions between practice and
theory and proposes a way forward: practitioners and scholars share ways
of thinking—​varieties of “part–​whole thinking”—​that machines can never
acquire.

Prelude and chapter presentation

In parodic imitation of medieval literature, Cervantes famously tells his


readers that the Quixote is not purely the product of his imagination but a
translation of a manuscript he was lucky to stumble upon. In jest he asks
us to believe that the Quixote is mostly his edited version of a Spanish
translation of an Arabic manuscript, and he accordingly invites us to dis-
tinguish between at least three contributors to the Quixote: the Arabic-​
writing “first author” named Cide Hamete Benengeli, who allegedly
wrote the original manuscript; the unnamed “second author,” which for
many critics is Cervantes referring to himself; and the unnamed Arabic-​
Spanish translator hired by that “second author.”1 This seems a rather self-​
diminishing move by Cervantes, since the Quixote notoriously proposes
that translations are second-​rate products: they are to originals what the
backsides of Flemish tapestries are to the beautiful tapestries themselves.
In a less famous passage, the second author—​that is, Cervantes—​assures
us nonetheless that when he and his (fictional) translator diverge from the
Arabic manuscript, they actually do so to our benefit. When in Chapter 18
of the second book Don Quixote is welcomed at the house of Don Diego,
the second author tells us that the Arabic manuscript

depicts all the details [todas las circunstancias] of Don Diego’s house,
portraying for us what the house of a wealthy gentleman farmer
contains, but the translator of this history decided to pass over these
and other similar minutiae [menudencias] in silence, because they did
not accord with the principal purpose of the history, whose strength lies
more in its truth [la verdad] than in cold digressions.
(Cervantes 2003: 568, translated by Edith Grossman)

Declaring himself ignorant in all matters Arabic, the second author defers
to his translator’s opinion that the first author, Cide Hamete Benengeli,
was here overburdening the reader with details; and the Spanish second
