Traducción de poesía y literaturas comparadas: una ética contra la hegemonía de la lengua oficial y la lógica del mercado

Tarántula – which alternates prose poetry and free verse – by Bob Dylan, develops in many ways a transgressive writing. Dated between 1965 and 1966, goes beyond the poststructuralism premises, and against the market law, which Deleuze pointed out as the main power in our globalized world almost thirty years later. It’s also remarkable how Dylan’s text puts over the surface of the imperial English of USA another text written in capital letters (the Spanish of Hispanic immigrants) and thus reversing the hierarchy between dominant and dominated languages. The Spanish translation, published in Madrid 2007, contradicts those textual strategies, obeying instead the law of the editorial market. In contrast, Dylan’s writing as well as his interviews (a consistent pre-text for his artistic work), defends against colonization a notion of America linked to the native people: a territory therefore with linguistic and political frontiers in nomadic movement
