Abstract

Fictional turn is a very important trend in translation studies in 1990s. It refers to the move in the discipline that signaled the incorporation of fictional-theoretical parameters as a source of theorization on translation. This paper gives a brief introduction to the trend and outlines relevant literatures both at home and abroad. Then a case study is presented as an illustration of fictionalization of translation and approaching fiction as a source of translation theorization. It is concluded that fictional turn in translation studies does not only offer new possibilities for translation studies, but also provides illuminations for translation teaching.
