“…Contrary to the predominance of male authors in the Boom, the Post-Boom boasted a large number of female writers, 4 such as Isabel Allende (La casa de los espíritus, 1982), Laura 4 Although some new studies argue that the number of women writers in 20th-century Latin America has been largely overestimated (Castillo, 2009), their presence is still very relevant in this movement, especially because Esquivel (Como agua para chocolate, 1989), and Luisa Valenzuela (Cola de Lagartija, 1983), to name a few. This "sudden" appearance of various novels written by women seems to be a coincidence, but Serrão (2013) claims that the Boom movement was seen as so intellectual, revolutionary, and innovative that texts by women were not considered on the same level as those by men; thus, it was not worth publishing them.…”

Los últimos años han visto un renovado interés en los estudios feministas de la traducción. Sin embargo, aún no hay consenso sobre cuál es la mejor manera de aplicar efectivamente estrategias feministas a la traducción, especialmente en el caso de textos literarios. En este trabajo, a partir de una comparación anterior entre el original La casa de los espíritus, de la escritora chilena Isabel Allende, y la única traducción disponible para el portugués brasileño, se discuten opciones de retraducción feminista. Aunque el libro hace parte del post-boom latinoamericano, que muchos estudiosos consideran como un movimiento literario feminista, la traducción parece borrar de forma consistente aspectos feministas de la narrativa. Este estudio pretende mostrar que una retraducción literaria feminista puede poner en evidencia aspectos de un texto que fueron ignorados anteriormente. Es importante destacar que no se pretende “corregir a un mal traductor”, sino reflexionar sobre el papel de la traductora feminista.

The Cambridge History of Latin American Women's Literature is an essential resource for anyone interested in the development of women's writing in Latin America. Ambitious in scope, it explores women's literature from ancient indigenous cultures to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Organized chronologically and written by a host of leading scholars, this History offers an array of approaches that contribute to current dialogues about translation, literary genres, oral and written cultures, and the complex relationship between literature and the political sphere. Covering subjects from cronistas in Colonial Latin America and nation-building to feminicide and literature of the indigenous elite, this History traces the development of a literary tradition while remaining grounded in contemporary scholarship. The Cambridge History of Latin American Women's Literature will not only engage readers in ongoing debates but also serve as a definitive reference for years to come.
