Translinguismo literário: uma reflexão sobre a (auto)tradução na escrita chicana de hinojosa.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to reflect on the literary translingualism observed in chicano writings, especially the self-translation of Rolando Hinojosa-Smith, with the aim of contributing to the contemporary debate around the idea of literary community, which is weakened when it collides with writings that are produced outside the paradigm of linguistic unity. Chicano writings, marked by the crossing or alternation between two or more linguistic codes, such as English and Spanish, and sometimes Spanglish, as well as their (self)translations, express the plurality that characterizes them, evidenced in their cultural and linguistic crossings that are in constant movement and negotiation. The (self)translation of these writings allows us to understand this process as a form of cultural mediation between subjects, since it recognizes the use of hybrid language as a form of resistance and (re)affirmation of identity, cultural, social and political. The reflections find theoretical foundation in the studies of Steven Kellman (2019); Helena Tanqueiro (1999); Benedict Anderson (1995); Glória Anzaldúa (1987); Ottmar Ette (2019); Maria Alice Antunes (2019); Cristiano Barros (2022); and others.
