Abstract

Since the coming of the deconstructionism and the "cultural turn" in translation studies, many approaches of translation studies have mushroomed, the hybridity theory in the light of post-colonialist studies has attracted more and more translation scholars. Hybridity theory, aiming to deconstruct and demystify the classical canon of the Western imperial colonialism, to resist the Euro-American cultural hegemony, to diminish the West centrism, to eliminate the binary opposition, and to reconstruct the subjectivity of the Subaltern and the "minorities" or the weak culture with the aspiration to help them find their own cultural identity, offers a different space for the research of translation.
