This paper presents the work of Southeast Asian scholar Ramon Guillermo. Using sophisticated computer-aided methods, Guillermo approaches a range of topics in the wide fields of social sciences and the humanities. A creative writer as well as an activist, Guillermo grounds his studies in nationalism and Marxism. Particularly interested in Indonesian and Philippine society and culture, Guillermo engages with the writings of labor leaders Tan Malaka and Lope K. Santos, translations of Marx's Capital into Bahasa and Filipino, and studies as well the discursive and historical connections between the Communist Parties of both countries. The paper aims to introduce the innovations of Guillermo's studies, particularly in the fields of cultural studies and translation studies. The type of cultural studies Guillermo practices is empirical, taking inspiration from innovations done in the digital humanities. Guillermo is most opposed to trendy, fashion-seeking approaches that are not grounded on history. He reserves particular ire for "hip" postcolonialism, and instead praises studies that are founded on politics and materialism. In translation studies, Guillermo goes beyond the mere cataloguing of mistakes. For him, it is the mistakes and "perversities" of a translation that is interesting and illuminating. Guillermo himself is a translator, and the paper ends with a brief discussion of his production in this field.

본 논문은 2016년 맨부커 인터내셔널상(The Man Booker International Prize)을 수상한 The Vegetarian을 둘러싼 언론과 학계의 엇갈린 평가와 오역논란을 살펴보았다. 한강의 "채식주의자"와 데버러 스미스(Deborah Smith)의 The Vegetarian을 분석한 결과, The Vegetarian에서 다수의 오역사례를 확인할 수 있었다. 본 논문은 단순 오역 지적을 넘어 스미스가 '오역'하게 된 경위를 역으로 짚어 봄으로써 The Vegetarian 이 번역이 아닌 로컬리제이션(localization)으로 방향을 설정한 영어 현지화 텍스트임을 밝힌 데 의의가 있다. 결론에서는 스미스의 "채식주의자" 다시쓰기(rewriting)인 The Vegetarian의 성과를 논하고 독자 선택을 돕는 번역 방법을 제시함으로써 향후 한국문학의 영어번역이 나아갈 방향을 제안한다.
