La traducción al español de formas poéticas breves. Análisis traductológico de los "Épigrammes" de Voltaire

Abstract

Resumen. Desde el haiku japonés a los monostiques de Apollinaire, son variadas las formas de expresión poética que aglutinamos en "poesía minúscula". Estas formas poéticas breves aprovechan la fuerza y el movimiento, gracias a la economía verbal, para expresar un pensamiento ingenioso o una crítica sutil. Desde un prisma traductológico, si la traducción poética entraña una dificultad por la simbiosis entre forma y contenido, la poesía minúscula acrecienta los retos de traducción al reducir el mensaje a su esencia. Por tanto, en este trabajo partimos de una reflexión teórica sobre los retos de traducción de la poesía breve y presentamos un análisis traductológico y una propuesta de traducción al español de una selección de epigramas de Voltaire, con la finalidad de determinar las estrategias que permiten superar algunos de los problemas de la práctica de la traducción poética al español de poemas franceses.

Translation-oriented analysis of Voltaire's Epigrammes Abstract. From the Japanese haiku to the monostiques of Apollinaire, the forms of poetry expression that we bring together in "tiny poetry" are varied. These short poetry forms use force and movement, thanks to verbal economy, to express ingenious thought or subtle criticism. In Translation Studies, poetry translation involves added difficulties due to the symbiosis between form and content. More precisely, tiny poetry presents even more translation challenges as this form of poetry works by reducing the message to its essence. This paper firstly addresses the challenges involved in translating short poetry, and secondly it proposes a translation analysis and a Spanish version of a selected corpus of epigrams from Voltaire's work. A further objective of this paper is to show the strategies that help translators overcome some of the problems that arise when rendering French poetry into the Spanish language.

Integrating Classical Poetry and Its English Translation into Preschool Education: An Attempt of Creative Transformation and Innovative Development of Fine Traditional Chinese Culture

“…The classical Chinese poetry is a remarkable form of art in traditional Chinese character [15]. Although tiny poetry presents even more translation challenges as this form of poetry works by reducing the message to its essence [16], Chinese translators will spare no effort to do a good job in translation work. It is important in the work of a translator to be aware of the style, metric characteristics, and structure of the verse under translation, for which the translator must have only knowledge of literature, but also of history, culture, and geography of foreign countries [17].…”
