Research Summary

Thesis Title: Translating Identity and Power: A Feminist Approach to Clarice Lispector, Ali Smith, and Gabriela Cabezón Cámara.

My research encompasses the fields of Translation Studies and Comparative Literature, with a particular interest in the theories and methodologies of Feminist Translation Studies.

I am focused on researching the translator's capability to (re)create meaning and its effects on trans/inter-national literary feminist expressions. By doing so, conversations around the gap between Translation Studies' theory and practice, the role of the feminist translator, and the complexity of approaching women's writing through translation, may arise. This project is centred on the aspects of identity present in the works of Clarice Lispector, Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, and Ali Smith; and the resulting translations from Benjamin Moser, Frances Riddle, and Dolors Udina. Therefore, I will be considering (con)texts from Brazil, Argentina, Scotland, and Catalonia.
