Iberian and Translation Studies: Literary Contact Zones offers
fertile reflection on the dynamics of linguistic diversity and
multifaceted literary translation flows taking place across the
Iberian Peninsula. Drawing on cutting-edge theoretical perspectives
and on a historically diverse body of case studies, the volume's
sixteen chapters explore the key role of translation in shaping
interliterary relations and cultural identities within Iberia. Mary
Louise Pratt's contact zone metaphor is used as an overarching
concept to approach Iberia as a translation(al) space where
languages and cultural systems (Basque, Catalan, Galician,
Portuguese, and Spanish) set up relationships either of conflict,
coercion, and resistance or of collaboration, hospitality, and
solidarity. In bringing together a variety of essays by
multilingual scholars whose conceptual and empirical research
places itself at the intersection of translation and literary
Iberian studies, the book opens up a new interdisciplinary field of
enquiry: Iberian translation studies. This allows for a renewed
study of canonical authors such as Joan Maragall, Fernando Pessoa,
Camilo Jose Cela, and Bernardo Atxaga, and calls attention to
emerging bilingual contemporary voices. In addition to addressing
understudied genres (the entremez and the picaresque novel) and the
phenomena of self-translation, indirect translation, and
collaborative translation, the book provides fresh insights into
Iberian cultural agents, mediators, and institutions.
