Hacia una cartografía de la autotraducción en el Perú: Ch’aska Anka Ninawaman y Dina Ananco

This article studies the practice of self-translation in contemporary indigenous writings in Peru. While self-translation studies have predominantly focused on Western cases, exploration of this practice in Latin America began in the 2000s. The aim is to examine this phenomenon in Peru, where self-translation becomes a tool to question power asymmetries between minoritized languages and Spanish. Drawing on the cases of Ch’aska Anka Ninawaman (Quechua) and Dina Ananco (Wampis), the article adopts a heterogeneous methodology, including analyzing paratexts such as in-depth interviews with the authors and other secondary sources. This study highlights the centrality of self-translation in reclaiming the legitimacy of indigenous languages in Peru, contributing to a preliminary mapping of self-translation in this country.
