Abstract

This study investigates the emergence of mediation space as a consequence upon the practice of translated literary production by its particular agents. Inspired by Michaela Wolf’s thought – that is influenced by the Bourdieusian field concept and Bhabhasian third space concept – the study is focused on tracing the mediation space in the production of the poetry anthology “Pilgrimage in the Land of Java” from Indonesian into English and all main agents involved inside. Related to that, this study aims to examine the social interaction among all agents during the production process by analyzing their roles and positions possessed by each of them. Thus, the structure of the mediation space is possible to be comprehensively described. Besides library research, for collecting the data, the interview is the primary technique in this qualitative research. All data are analyzed thoroughly to reach a valid result of the analysis. In the end, this study proves that the production of the mentioned poetry anthology has opened up a specific yet temporary alternative space amid two existing fields (Yogyakarta and world literary field). A site whereas the agents turn into hybrid subjects.
