PhD fellowship in Latin-American Translation Studies
Project
This PhD-project will focus on the translation and reception of contemporary Peruvian fantastic narrative into the French, Anglo-Saxon, and Brazilian literary systems. More specifically, its objective is to analyze how the subtle manipulation of narrative enunciation, which is typical of the fantastic genre, is reproduced in different target languages, and the aesthetical and ideological consequences brought about by these translation processes in a transnational context.
