Abstract

Narrative theory has brought new changes in viewing the formation and representation of foreign reality in translation. The current paper describes this importance, while explaining Mona Baker`s narrative account (2006), and comparing the narrative approach with other well-known approaches in Translation studies. The main purpose of this study is to introduce narrative theory as a basis for the model analyzing the representation of social identity in translation.

Keywords: Translation studies, narrative theory, narrative analytic model, identity
