Abstract

During the translation process, translator is expected to do translation considering the source and the target culture in accordance with his/her skopos set before translation. Beyond just translation, the translator is included to this process with his/her self-reflexive aspect to the text with both his/her personal criticism and own translation strategies s/he has determined. In this study, by self-reflexivity, reflection of changed ideas of Halide Edib, who is the author and the only translator of Memoirs of Halide Edib in time, when she was rewriting Mor Salkımlı Ev in Turkish, will be examined. Considering that autobiographies, which form the basis of this study, are the self-reflexive transfer, it is aimed to be examined with views of Hans Vermeer in “skopos” theory, which is a translation studies theory.
