The Poetics of Translation in Perednik, Borges and de Campos: Practice in process

Abstract

This article aims at: i) reflecting on the poetics of translation of Latin American translators and writers Santiago Perednik, Jorge Luis Borges and Haroldo de Campos; ii) examining their ideas about the theory and practice of translation, particularly their methods and their critical viewpoints on the notion of “source texts”; iii) showing the hierarchical and subordinate relations connected to “inequality with regard to source texts” and before the diversity of perspectives prevailing in Translation Studies today. This article can be of value not only to Translation Studies but also to the field of Semiotics of Culture.
