| book description |

At the intersection of translation studies and Latin American literary studies, The Translatorâ€™s Visibility examines contemporary novels by a cohort of writers â€“ including prominent figures such as Cristina Rivera Garza, CÃ©sar Aira, Mario Bellatin, Valeria Luiselli, and Luis Fernando Verissimo â€“ who foreground translation in their narratives. Drawing on Latin Americaâ€™s long tradition of critical and creative engagement of translation, these novels explicitly, visibly, use major tropes of translation theory â€“ such as gendered and spatialized metaphors for the practice, and the concept of untranslatability â€“ to challenge the strictures of intellectual property and propriety while shifting asymmetries of discursive authority, above all between the original as a privileged repository of meaning and translation as its hollow emulation. In this way, The Translatorâ€™s Visibility show that translation not only serves to renew national literatures through an exchange of ideas and forms; when rendered visible, it can help us reimagine the terms according to which those exchanges take place. Ultimately, it is a book about language and power: not only the ways in which power wields language, but also the ways in which language can be used to unseat power.
