Teatro Infantil Rumano. Traducción Intersemiótica Para Públicos Mixtos
Este trabajo aborda el género teatral infantil (literario y escénico) desde una perspectiva intercultural. La metodología investigadora incluye un análisis de las transformaciones sufridas por el cuento popular rumano “Punguţa cu doi bani” (“El saquito con dos monedas”) de Ion Creangă en su plasmación teatral traducida al español “¿Dónde está mi saquito?”, que giró por diferentes ciudades españolas en la pasada década. Estas transformaciones son …
Children’s theatre in L1 and L2 as an intercultural communication tool for educators
Intercultural studies have underexplored the issue of children's theatre as a tool for symbolic representations of (new, hybrid) identities. In this paper, I analyze two theatrical productions addressing both Spanish society and Romanian diaspora (first/second generation) to answer these questions: how are diasporic identities re-constructed in literary works written in the country of origin and translated by diaspora translators for mixed audien…
Translating humour in children’s theatre for (unintended) diasporic audiences
This article delves into children’s literature, more specifically, children’s theatre containing humour, and its double process of translation and/or adaptation, both “page to stage” and “stage to stage”, when a different language is involved, and the play is to be performed for an audience belonging to the target culture and an unintended diasporic one. The research perspective is descriptive (of the translational process) and comparative (of th…
Romanian migration reflected in recent Portuguese literature
This article focuses on three contemporary Portuguese literary works that feature Roma characters and culture-specific elements within a wider selection of authors who mention or delve into past and present Romanian realities. This selection was aimed at determining which are the themes, historical events, lived or narrated memories, symbols, images, and ethnotypes that interest contemporary Portuguese authors in relation with the Romanian immigr…
A Taxonomic Analysis Proposal for Research in Diplomatic Interpreting
This paper focuses on Diplomatic Interpreting (DI), a speciality often included either in the conference or dialogue interpreting branch, depending on geographic and modal variables. Historically, diplomatic interpreters resorted to bilateral interpreting or mediation, but in the modern day, they oscillate between short and full consecutive, and on occasion simultaneous (presidential press conferences). This diffuse affiliation and the relatively…
Power through Language, the Language of Power
In 1968 Equatorial Guinea became independent from Spain but inherited its cultural architecture. Current identity claims made by Equatoguinean emixiles (Ugarte’s term, 2010) are rooted in the social and territorial exclusion suffered by ethnic groups during their colonial past. In this paper I will explore the role that the Spanish language played in the identity construction of six Equatoguinean emixiles living in the city of Alicante (Spain). M…
Rebel with a Cause
This paper focuses on Domnica Radulescu’s creative solutions when deconstructing myths, stereotypes, and prejudices and on the translator’s responses. In Domnica Radulescu’s plays, Exile is My Home and The Virgins of Seville (compiled, in their Spanish versions, in Dos Obras Dramáticas/Two Plays), the translator’s knowledge of both the author’s background and the target readership’s duality (Spanish host society and Romanian migrants) plays an im…
Mihai Eminescu en español. Prolegómenos para un estudio traductológico comparativo
Este trabajo se propone abordar la figura del poeta rumano más universal desde la proyección que ha tenido en el ámbito hispano, a través de sus exégetas y sus traductores, tanto españoles como latinoamericanos. Una vez fijadas brevemente las coordenadas de su lugar en la literatura rumana, así como en las letras universales, identificaremos algunos condicionantes que intervienen en el nivel preliminar de decisión (según el modelo Lambert-Van Gor…
Bodily perception in female ad hoc interpreting
In the present landscape of globalization, immigrants have attained demographic weight in developed countries and economic relevance in the territories they left behind. The province of Alicante (Spain) is home to 32,899 Romanian immigrants. Almost half of them are women who not only manage themselves in daily communication, but also bridge the linguistic gap between their families and local service providers. This paper focuses on health care co…
Identidades corporales de las mujeres rumanas en España
Este estudio se propone observar la presentación social del cuerpo en el caso de la mujer rumana durante los últimos decenios de la dictadura comunista y los cambios surgidos tras su relocalización en un mundo cambiante (la década postcomunista), así como las modificaciones que la experiencia migratoria opera en la reconstrucción de su identidad. A pesar de reivindicar en teoría la igualdad entre sexos, la doctrina de la Rumanía totalitaria la co…
Intercultural Approaches to the Integration of Migrating Minorities
The Role of Interpreting in Spanish Central and Local Government Integration Policies. The Case of the Romanian Population in Alicante
Starting from the assumption that interpreting is a norm governed type of communication and that within this communicative pas de trois or situated activity (Wadensjö) which is socially bounded (Inghilleri), the interpreter's presence appears as a defining feature, this paper tries to identify preliminary and operational norms intervening in the institutional, interpersonal and professional projection of this activity in connection with the integ…
What's in a title? A cognitive approach to the role played by translated text labels and (un)adapted semiotic elements
This paper draws upon the importance of titles in intercultural communication starting from the results of an experiment in the field of psychology aimed at measuring the mnemonic value of titles as well as the expectations and evaluations they entail or the influential power they exert on receivers. Assuming that translation is a form of communication and adopting an eclectic approach based on the functionalist view in translation and the releva…
