  • Best Practices Report on Promotion of Translations

    Best Practices Report on Promotion of Translations

    Best Practices Report on Promotion of Translations This report was first issued in English back in 2007, but its observations on the international state of affairs with literary translations still hold valid today. While some of the organizations or people mentioned are no longer in the book sector, and in the meantime new players had come up at the scene, the conclusions of the analysis and the main issues remain credible. At the time of its first release, the report gathered significant attention from around the world, not just because it is forwarded by Paul Auster, but because it presents a comprehensive picture of the main issues and forces at play that determine the state of translations. Esther Allen's essay on English language as "an invasive species" has not lost its power today and remains a reference for anybody concerned with the social and political aspects of translation policies and politics. A note on the authors included in the current extract: Paul Auster is a renowned and bestselling American author, and director Esther Allen is a writer and translator who currently teaches at Baruch College (CUNY). Carles Torner is a poet and a writer who also worked for the Institut Ramon Llull, which aims for the international promotion and translation of Catalan literature. Simona Škrabec is a literary critic, essayist and translator. With the kind permission of the publishers, here we offer an extract from the report that is available in full at PEN International: http://www.pen-international.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Translation-report_OK-2.pdf

    10 El tráfico transatlántico y más allá En su artículo “Seix Barral y el boom de la nueva narrativa hispanoamericana: las mediaciones culturales de la edición española”, Fabio Espósito observa que La expansión hacia los mercados hispanoamericanos es una preocupación que domina a libreros y editores españoles desde mediados del siglo XIX cuando, abandonados definiti- vamente los sueños de reconquista luego de la guerra con Chile y Perú (1865), se consolida el lento camino de la normalización diplomática entre el Reino de España y las nuevas repúblicas, que se había iniciado tenuemente con el Tratado de Paz y Amistad firmado con México en 1836 y finalizaría en 1904 con el reconocimiento de Panamá. Desde entonces América se convierte en un horizonte hacia donde se dirigen con bastante frecuencia los sueños y los anhelos de los autores y editores peninsulares. Pero esa vocación americanista o, mejor dicho, ese afán exportador, no puede explicarse sin atender a las múltiples y variadas relaciones que los editores y libreros españoles establecen con los mercados editoriales del resto de Europa. Formulado a finales del siglo XIX, este modelo de expansión editorial, que hace hincapié en el carácter mediador de la edición española entre el polo europeo y el americano, permanecerá vigente durante casi todo el siglo XX. Es la clave explicativa de la polémica de los escritores vanguardistas sobre el meridiano intelectual en 1927, el legado que continuarán algunas de las grandes editoriales argentinas y mexicanas a partir de 1938 y uno de los puntos más significativos del programa modernizador de la editorial Seix Barral de Barcelona en la década de 1960.

    ¿Transgredir El Canon En El Siglo XXI? Hugo Achugar

    Nº. 21, enero de 2019 ¿Transgredir el canon en el siglo XXI? Transgressing the Canon in XXI Century? Hugo Achugar (CURE-Universidad de La República, Uruguay) [email protected] RESUMEN: Este ensayo plantea una propuesta acerca de la conformación del sis- tema de legitimación o canonización de la producción literaria como instrumento de análisis. Se parte de la idea de la conformación de lo que denomina “Aparatos Literarios de Canonización” (ALC) en la Mo- dernidad y el surgimiento histórico del mercado. Al mismo tiempo se cuestiona la existencia de un único canon y se postula la de “múltiples y simultáneos cánones”. Por otra parte, las previas argumentaciones llevan a reflexionar sobre la actual transformación de dichos ALC vin- culada al impacto de Internet sobre el pensamiento crítico literario y el eventual desplazamiento de la centralidad de los tradicionales intelec- tuales o del aparato educativo. Por último, se discute este nuevo esce- nario en relación con la eventualidad de lo que significaría en el siglo XXI “transgredir el canon”. Palabras clave: legitimación; canon; transgresión; Internet; mer- cado. ABSTRACT: This essay poses a proposal about the organization of a system of legit- imation or canonization of literary production as an instrument of analysis. The basic idea is the configuration of the so called “Literary Apparatus of Canonization” (LAC) during modernity and the historic emergence of market. Also, the existence of a unique canon is chal- lenged, and the idea of multiple and simultaneous canons is proposed. On the hand, the previous argumentations allow to think on the current transformation of the “Literary Apparatus of Canonization” in relation to the impact Internet on literary critic thinking and the possible dis- placement of traditional intellectual’s centrality and/or the educational apparatus.

    La Reflexión Del Oficio Literario En La Obra De Roberto Bolaño DISSERTATION Presented in P

    Literatura dentro de la literatura: La reflexión del oficio literario en la obra de Roberto Bolaño DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Teddy Palomino Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Laura Podalsky, Advisor Pedro Pereira Ulises Juan Zevallos-Aguilar Copyright by Teddy Palomino 2015 Abstract This project starts from the premise that Roberto Bolaño’s metaliterature ―a literature that talks about literature, writers and readers― is representative of a long- standing tradition within Latin American literature. Bolaño’s work reflects upon the status of Latin American literature as an institution and, by portraying marginal writers and literary movements (real visceralismo) that do not figure into official academic literary dogma, it questions established canons and literatures. Bolaño constructs a marginal figure, Arturo Belano (co-founder of real visceralismo in The Savage Detectives), a wanna- be poet, more a reader than a writer, whose perspective on the literary profession undermines the institutional apparatus of literature and questions its legitimacy. This dissertation proposes that Bolaño has developed a narrative, or more precisely, a metanarrative that offers alternate ways of approaching Latin American literature by articulating a fiction that conspires against an official status and criticizes both cultural products and a literary profession from within. By studying Bolaño’s narrative and how it has penetrated so rapidly the very restricted US market, I propose Latin American literature ―a literature written in Spanish― is reshaping cultural interactions on a global level.
