O conto machadiano entre a tradução, a circulação cultural e as novas construções conceituais

Abstract

By analyzing Machado de Assis’s short stories work and thought, we intend to point out relationships between translation, here understood as a mediation and cultural diffusion strategy, and the building of a broad concept of Latin American literatures. We also present an anthology of 30 short stories by Machado de Assis translated into Spanish and published in 2011 in Valencia/Spain, as part of this translation and research project.
