In recent years self-translation has attracted growing scholarly attention within both translation and cultural studies, both because its peculiarities oblige us to rethink the traditional ...dichotomies of translation proper and because, in cultural terms, it is a condition shared by an ever-growing number of migrant, translingual individuals. By combining elements from both theoretical frameworks, this essay analyzes the works of three Italian-Canadian female writers/self-translators for whom self-translation is both a tool for expressing a translingual imagination and renegotiating a transcultural identity, as well as a subversive transcreative practice through which to convey their gender politics.
L’autotraduzione come transcreazione transculturale e translingueIn ambito sia traduttologico sia culturale una messe di studi ha analizzato il fenomeno dell’autotraduzione, evidenziando come le sue peculiarità ci portino a riconsiderare le tradizionali categorie della traduzione e come dal punto di vista culturale sia una pratica condivisa da un numero sempre crescente di individui migranti e translingui. Prendendo spunti teorici da entrambi questi ambiti, il presente lavoro esamina le opere di tre scrittrici/autotraduttrici italo-canadesi per le quali l’autotraduzione è al contempo un mezzo per esprimere un’immaginazione translingue e rinegoziare un’identità transculturale, ma anche una pratica transcreativa sovversiva attraversa cui articolare la loro politica di genere.
80ko hamarkadatik aurrera, euskal literatur kritikan eta ikerketan feminismotik egindako ekarpenak agertzen hasi ziren. Joera horren analisia hiru argitalpenen bitartez egin dugu: Itxaro Bordaren ...Hogoigarren mendeko emakumeak idazle: antologia eta ohar zenbait (1984), Jakin aldizkariko Emakumea eta literatura alea (1987) eta Linda Whiteren Emakumeen hitzak euskaraz: Basque Women Writers of the Twentieth Century tesia (1996). Gainera, hiru iturri horiek antropologian eta artean egondako joera parekoekin alderatu ditugu. Horrela, emakumeen arketipoetatik esperientzia errealerako bira proposatu zutela nabarmentzen dugu, emakumeen esperientzien aniztasunean oinarrituta.
Through interviews with twelve contemporary female writers, this paper characterizes the working conditions and gender relations in the current literary field in Chile. The analysis of the interviews ...allows to delve into the documented trend of precariousness and moonlighting in the literary work, adding that this is done mostly in the university teaching area and literary workshops, in the case of female writers. Also, the time management emerges as an important element, which determines the forms of work in literature. Regarding gender relations, the interviewees observe differences in remuneration in favor of men, and a historical masculinization of the literary canon. To this is added an inequality in the awarding of prizes and funds, given mostly to men.
Mediante entrevistas a doce escritoras contemporáneas, el presente artículo caracteriza las condiciones de trabajo y las relaciones de género en el campo literario actual en Chile. El análisis de las entrevistas permite profundizar en la documentada tendencia de precarización y pluriempleo del trabajo literario, agregando que este se realiza mayormente en el área de la docencia universitaria y en talleres literarios para el caso de las escritoras. Además, la gestión del tiempo surge como un elemento importante que determina las formas del trabajo en literatura. Respecto a las relaciones de género, las entrevistadas observan diferencias en las remuneraciones a favor de los hombres y una masculinización histórica del canon literario. A esto se suma una desigualdad en la entrega de premios y fondos literarios, otorgados mayormente a hombres.
This article explores how the intersection of fatherhood, age and alternative models of masculinity (alongside the traumatic impact of violence), features prominently in the narratives of recent ...Basque women writers. While Edurne Portela's Mejor la ausencia (2017) portrays the traditional hegemonic image of fatherhood, Luisa Etxenike's Absoluta presencia (2018) and Aves del paraíso (2019) create a new understanding of the role and identity of fathers, marked by the impact of ETA's deleterious violence. Male subjectivity in these works is elaborated in patterns of affective landscapes that reject traditional Basque hegemonic masculinity and interrogate marking constituents of fatherhood.

La escritora uruguaya Blanca Luz Brum formó parte activa de la vida cultural y sociopolítica de diversas ciudades latinoamericanas durante varias décadas. Sin embargo, su alejamiento ideológico del ...socialismo, así como su intensa vida sentimental, le valieron la descalificación y el olvido. El objetivo de este trabajo es rescatar su figura a través del análisis de sus textos publicados en la revista Amauta entre 1926 y 1929, teniendo en cuenta la poética de la autora y el papel que los poemas ocupan en la revista. El estudio revelará la doble vertiente de su poesía: la política, efectista y con carácter propagandístico y movilizador; y la personal, más compleja, profunda y que refleja la cara más íntima de Blanca Luz.
Las poéticas de la mirada han derivado en lo que podemos identificar hoy como poéticas del ojo. En el seno de las narrativas del cuerpo y en paralelo a las poéticas de la enfermedad, las autoras ...latinoamericanas han desarrollado en la última década una narrativa que atiende a las patologías del órgano de la vista para abordar, desde ahí, la discapacidad del cuerpo femenino junto con sus posibilidades reivindicativas. Este trabajo plantea un análisis de El cuerpo en que nací (Nettel, 2011), Sangre en el ojo (Meruane, 2012) y El trabajo de los ojos (Halfon, 2017) desde un enfoque comparatista, con el objetivo de observar el diálogo que establecen entre enfermedad, biopolítica y escritura. A partir de una reflexión sustentada en los estudios de la discapacidad y en los estudios de género, se concluye que las tres obras desafían tanto el sistema normativo de la salud como la mirada hegemónica patriarcal.
In early modern Italy, lyric poets of spiritual verse experimented with engaging and depicting the divine Word in novel ways. They aestheticized bodies, including that of Christ, and they imagined ...eroticized encounters between themselves and the Word made flesh. This article examines the sensual spiritual poetry of three early modern Italian women who, between 1530 and 1630, dedicated themselves to crafting and reinvigorating the poetic word and to expressing and (re)presenting the divine Word. Exploring the introspective and subjective spiritual lyrics of Vittoria Colonna (1492–1547), Laura Battiferri (1523–1589), and Francesca Turini Bufalini (1553–1641) in the context of the Italian literary Renaissance and Counter-Reformation, it aims to highlight and to elucidate the conflation of the sacred and the erotic in their verse. In so doing, this article reveals how these early modern female poets deployed the sensual strategically in their verse to elevate the erotic and how they raised the Italian religious lyric to new literary heights by spiritualizing the dominant poetic idiom.
