La mediación lingüística de lo traducible e intraducible en torno al elemento literario cultural

Abstract

Being a good literary translator inevitably involves the development of a triple competence: linguistic, cultural and creative. The teaching process in the field of this kind of translation must therefore encourage different strategies that contemplate a greater diversity of methods and techniques. Within the framework of active methodologies, the use of collective translation in the classroom has stood out for some years now. As a result, the debate on the limits of translatability and untranslatability is permanent. In this sense, the teaching innovation project “TradLit”, developed in the Department of Translation and Interpreting of the University of Alicante proposes the exercise of collective translation in the classroom through different literary texts, such as poetry, theatre or comics. This project, through which we have already published three translated literary works, aims to show students the limits of translatability, the difficulties involved in translating culture, the advantages of collective translation and the different translation techniques in case of interlinguistic inequivalence.
