PARATRANSLATION, CULTURE AND MESTIZAJE

Abstract

From early on, translation has been seen, even if unconsciously, as an activity of cultural importance, resulting from the totality of the practices, experiences and discourses of different social groups, that translation encompasses in itself, since it is through (para)translation that we get to know a culture, i.e., the Other. This mission of (para)translation is of great importance to the development of knowledge, establishing bridges between cultures that may lead to the further development of History, so that we can rethink the social transformation, that urges in the context of the present world crisis.
