Resumen

My thesis is concerned with the subject of landscape in a broad sense as a cultural reference in works of Catalan literature and their translation into English. I will carry our preliminary research on the question of landscape as a concept, how it can be defined and the elements which inform its description in Catalan literature.

Working with 4 works in Catalan – 3 books and a trilogy – and the translations of the 3 book and the first part of the trilogy, I will look at the strategies and results of the translations in terms of foreignization and domestication (Venuti, 1995) and in relation to the concept of the Third Space attributed to Homi K. Bhabha and the concept of the Translator’s Agency.

I see this thesis as a continuation and extension of the work I carried out for my Master’s degree at this university which centred on a translation-based analysis of the cultural references in the work by Maria Barbal, Pedra de Tartera (1985).
