literatura antilhana, tradução literária, localização, Earl LovelaceResumo
Este artigo discute alguns dos principais fatores que atuam como agentes potenciais de sensura na promoção de textos literários pós-coloniais. Centrando-se na escrita antilhana, a localização do escritos, os tópicos e as línguas são tomados como os três principais fatores responsáveis pela falta de promoção de uma variante específica da escrita antilhana. De forma específica, este trabalho focaliza a morte das traduções dos textos do escritor trinitino Earl Lovelace. Argumentamos que o tradutor literário pode agir como uma figura de mudança no empenho coletivo de se reverter o desequilíbrio descrito no campo da literatura antilhana.Referências
