Repensar la (auto)traducción desde las literaturas indígenas contemporáneas = Rethinking (Self)-translation from Contemporary Indigenous Literature

Since the 2000s, there has been a growing interest in analysing self-translation in the Americas, particularly its centrality in contemporary indigenous literature. This paper aims to investigate self-translation (Quechua-Spanish) in Peru, based on the case study of the work of Ch’aska Anka Ninawaman. In order to do so, an interdisciplinary perspective is adopted that articulates anthropological reflections on the so-called ontological turn and eco-translation. The analysis of the metadiscourse on (self-)translation is critical to exploring the agency of the self-translator in her sociolinguistic context and the translatability of the ontological and epistemic dimensions in which she moves. Rethinking self-translation from indigenous worldviews, such as Quechua, allows us to question the dualisms of self/other and nature/culture.
