Positions, competence and functions of literary translation
Keywords:
Literary translation, Translation policies, Translation studies, Translator's visibility.Abstract
This article intends to put forward some theoretical positions about literary translation that situates the translational process into a special frame of competences, objectives and purposes, undoing the reproductive characteristics given to it in the past. Moreover, it underlines the autonomy of literary translation and the historical, political and cultural part it plays, being propitious to discuss the Western Canon in a post-colonial context. Another aspect that was focalized is the relevance of the translator's visibility as a cultural mediator.
