Joan Gili, The Dolphin Book Company i la teoria de l'ecotraducció. (Catalan)

This article presents the editorial and translatory work of Joan Gili (1907-1998) through the bookstore and publishing house he founded and directed, The Dolphin Book (London 1935 - Oxford 1996). The uniqueness of the company lies in the fact that it introduced Hispanic literature to the English-speaking audience through translations of original works by writers, the majority of whom were oppressed by the Franco regime in Spain. We argue that the success of these translations is explained by the theory of eco-translation (Cronin 2017), which establishes both place and social context as key pieces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aquest article presenta la tasca editorial i traductora de Joan Gili i Serra (1907-1998) per mitjà de la llibreria-editorial que ell mateix va fundar i dirigir, The Dolphin Book Co. (Londres 1935 - Oxford 1996). La singularitat de l'empresa rau en el fet que va introduir les literatures hispàniques al públic anglòfon mitjançant traduccions d'originals d'autors, la majoria dels quals eren oprimits pel règim franquista. Sostenim que l'èxit d'aquestes traduccions s'explica per la teoria de l'ecotraducció (Cronin 2017), que estableix el lloc i el context social com a peces clau. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
