Gender and translation: discursive elements for a feminist rewriting

Abstract

In the article that follows it is explored the gender-translation binary from the belief that the latter, since it establishes a connection between different linguistic, cultural and ideological realities, it performs a decisive role in transforming the patriarchal and sexist nature of language and societies. To begin with, I will think about influences and junctions between translations studies and feminisms which have contributed to a mutual renewal and enrichment of both disciplines. This point of view would place me in a privileged position where to raise the feminist translation commitment, which is materialised in adaptation (rather than invention) of genuine ideological and textual strategies for translation by making a contribution for implementation of social and linguistic reform which exceeds gender discrimination.
