literatura de las islas del Caribe, traducción literaria, ubicación, Earl LovelaceResumen
En este artículo se abordan algunos de los factores principales que pueden, de manera potencial, actuar como agentes de censura en la promoción de textos literarios poscoloniales. En la discusión, que se centra en la escritura proveniente de las islas del Caribe, se ponen de relieve la ubicación del escritor, los temas y los idiomas como los tres factores principales para la falta de promoción de una variante particular de la escritura de las islas del Caribe. En particular, este ensayo se enfoca en el reducido número de traducciones de textos del escritor de Trinidad Earl Lovelace. El artículo plantea que el traductor literario tiene la capacidad de actuar como figura de cambio, parte de un esfuerzo colectivo para revertir la desigualdad con respecto al campo literario de las islas del Caribe.Citas
