Noi perspective asupra traducerii: Cătălina Iliescu, Relevancia y traducción. Una retrospectiva con lentes actualizantes

Cătălina Iliescu Gheorghiu’s book Relevance and Translation. A Retrospective through Updating Lenses (Relevancia y traducción. Una retrospectiva con lentes actualizantes, Editorial Comares, 2022) offers a contemporary perspective on dramaturgical translation. The seven chapters of the book focus on translation, adaptation, dramaturgy and cultural appropriation: starting from an overview of verbal and non-verbal communication and the theory of relevance, the author moves towards the role of equivalence nowadays “between glory and oblivion” and finishes with an analysis of relevant equivalence in the translation of dramatic texts, taking as an example Marin Sorescu’s play A treia țeapă (La tercera estaca, Vlad the Impaler).
