Eduardo Blanco Amor como teórico de la autotraducción

Abstract

Eduardo Blanco Amor, one of the leading Galician contemporary writers, translated a number of his works from Galician into Spanish and also from Spanish into Galician. Within the narrative genre, A Esmorga (Span. La parranda), Os biosbardos (Span. Las musarañas), and Xente ao lonxe (Span. Aquella gente...) deserve being mentioned; with regard to drama, he translated himself in Farsas (Gal. Farsas para títeres). It is against this background that Blanco Amor reflected on his activity of self-translation, and the present work aims to analyse those reflections, which offer interesting insights into the phenomenon of self-translation.
