Literary Translator
    “Living nexus
        National
between twoantenna
  literature’s dreams”
Walter Owen
 He said that his
  primary
  obligation as a
  literary translator
  is to recreate for
  the     reader   in
  English         the
  experience of the
  reader in Spanish
Translation of
  literary texts in
not impossible
general and poetry
    in particular
TRANSLATION PROCEDURES


              Adaptation
• The translator replaces a social or cultural
  reality in the source text with a
  corresponding reality in the target text
Paraphrase
As it would be impossible for the target
readers to understand the meaning of
“vigüela”, Owen paraphrases it using “old
  guitar”.
Heteroglosia

• "Heteroglossia,“ "hetero," meaning "other,"
  and "glossia," meaning "languages.“


      A son I am of the rolling plain,

       A gaucho born and bred;…
Translator’s note
a “footnote” or an “endnote”
provide additional information pertaining to the
limits of the translation, the cultural background
or any other explanations.
                 La pucha! How time whacks into one
                         Its sore arithmetic

La pucha! A euphemism for la puta (the whore!), used currently as an exclamation
of surprise, wonder, admiration, etc
“What a splendid Art!
And what a demanding
    profession!”
