Injusticia testimonial y traducción:: el cómic autobiográfico Gender Queer de Maia Kobabe

What is the importance of testimonial injustice in translation? how do translation decisions impact an autobiographic text whose main character is non-binary? and what epistemic effect do such translation decisions have over the author’s told experience? To answer these questions, I will analyze Alba Pagán’s translation of Maia Kobabe’s comic Gender Queer and I will consider three elements: 1) neopronouns in English, 2) the linguistic resources to talk about non-binary characters in Spanish and 3) the effect of using generic masculine in the comic translation.

Abstract

What is the importance of testimonial injustice in translation? how do translation decisions impact an autobiographic text whose main character is non-binary? and what epistemic effect do such translation decisions have over the author’s told experience? To answer these questions, I will analyze Alba Pagán’s translation of Maia Kobabe’s comic Gender Queer and I will consider three elements: 1) neopronouns in English, 2) the linguistic resources to talk about non-binary characters in Spanish and 3) the effect of using generic masculine in the comic translation.
