Eulalia Piñero Gil, Professor of American Literature and Gender Studies at the Universidad Autónoma of Madrid, Spain, will give a talk about the translation process involved in translating The Awakening by American writer, Kate Chopin.
The art of translating a literary text is a significant transcultural and transnational practice, and foremost a commitment to “the spirit of the period,” the ideology, and the intertextual and metatextual references of the author. In this lecture, Eulalia Piñero Gil will reflect on the challenges the literary translator faces and how the translation process is based on a “transformance approach” that considers translation as an intentional act that represents and performs a text into a new cultural space for a new readership. She will speak about specific examples of the choices involved in the translation process of The Awakening by the American writer Kate Chopin.
