TranslatingMi opinión sobre las libertades, derechos y deberes de la mujer provokedmany questions about the nature of translation and gender:What happens when a male author translates a female author?Do you simply put the female author in the male role, and viceversa so that everyone involved ends up cross-dressing, so tospeak? Does language become a father tongue instead? Is there away that translation can be seen in a less adversarial, predatory orsuspicious light that still respects gender, sexual, and racialdifference? What are the political implications of translatingLuisa Capetillo into English, since in her time and to this dayPuerto Rico is a colonial possession of the U.S.? The article offersa tentative model of gender-sensitive translation based onGemma Corradi-Fiumara’s philosophy of listening and theethical-erotic mechanisms of feminist self-representation asthey apply to Capetillo and her Spiritist beliefs. 2007 artículo científico 1538-6279 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37719208 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=377 Centro Journal application/pdf The City University of New York Centro Journal (Estados Unidos de América) Num.2 Vol.XIX
