This book offers unique insights into the role of the translator in
today's globalized world, exploring Latin American literature
featuring translators and interpreters as protagonists in which
prevailing understandings of the act of translation are challenged
and upended. The volume looks to the fictional turn as a fruitful
source of critical inquiry in translation studies, showcasing the
potential for recent Latin American novels and short stories in
Spanish to shed light on the complex dynamics and conditions under
which translators perform their task. Kripper unpacks the ways in
which the study of these works reveals translation not as a process
in which communication is the end goal, but rather as a mediating
and mediated process shaped by the unique manipulations and
motivations of translators and the historical and cultural contexts
in which they work. In exploring the fictional representations of
translators, the book also outlines pedagogical approaches and
offers discussion questions for the implementation of translators'
narratives in translation, language, and literature courses.
Narratives of Mistranslation will be of interest to scholars and
educators in translation studies, especially those working in
literary translation and translation pedagogy, Latin American
literature, world literature, and Latin American studies.
