Extractos de la publicación

The concept of paratranslation aims to become the centre of knowledge of the human being, of the languages and cultures in our modernity. The concept responds to the need for an analysis of facts that are, from a formal translational point of view, inexpllicable, and reacts to the intuition that translation is something more than a purely linguistic exercise. The concept also emerges as a reaction to the fact that translation is too much focused on the process of mediating between linguistic forms, obvisating all extratextual conditioning factors, which in many cases are the centre of the translational process an not merely its context. [...] Paratranslation has an interdisciplinary role inasmuch as it operates with different semiotic codes and predicts regular translational behaviour. [...] The concept of paratranslation, and the theory of paratranslation, which is being developed and which this contribution begins to locate within the field, establishes analysis spaces. The theoritical groundwork intends to devise in the long term actuation hierarchies for the mediators of literature and might ideally give some indications on more general notions of translation behaviour that could be applicable and visible in other artistic media. It is also in a constant state of development, correction and refinement at the heart of the 'Translation and Paratranslation' reserarch group in the Department of Translation and Linguistics at the University of Vigo which has promoted doctorate courses since 2004. Initially, the group research focused on ways to identify and describe the types of ideology present in texts and other media ant thus to absolve translators of all responsibility for the manipulations that have traditionally been attributed to them. In subsequent studies, its members (Fernández Ocampo 2005; Garrido Vilariño 2005; Nouss 2005; Yuste Frías 2005) have laid foundations so as to consider (para)translation as the point of departure to study the contemporary age, as it describes and directs human identity/otherness.
