In: Presented at: Estudios culturales/Cultural Studies – El porvenir de las humanidades, Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo de Valencia, Spain. (2005)
The paper analyses the study of translation as a cultural phenomenon in the wider context of cultural studies. The first part investigates the position of translation as a cultural practice, with reference to the main critical voices that have put translation in relation with other cultural issues, such as gender, postcolonialism, diaspora. The second part analyses the specific case of Brian Friels play Translations, as an example of translation as a cultural practice, because of the political, linguistic and social implications that translation has in this writing.
