contents TOWARDS A CONCEPTUALIZATION OF THE TRANSLATOR'S LEGACY María Constanza Guzmán Lengua y Literatura translator Translation studies translator's legacy translator's ethics translator's visibility This article investigates ways of theorizing the figure of the translator and its legacy within translation studies. It focuses on contemporary theoretical approaches, largely drawn from poststructuralist perspectives, which find the question of the translating subject to be a crucial one for translation and literary studies and propose important ways to approach it. It interrogates notions such as the idea of the sacralized original, the relationship between authorship and property, the ideal of transparent meaning, and the tension between translation and original writing. Particular attention is given to the importance of historicizing the translator's practice, recognizing the translator as a visible agent, and conceptualizing translation as a form of writing that unfolds within complex interactions and negotiations. 2009 artículo científico 0120-338X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=21912427008 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=219 Forma y Función application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Forma y Función (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.22
