La nueva literatura indígena de México: algunas aristas de su traducción interlingüística e intersemiótica
The new indigenous literature of Mexico: some aspects of its interlingual and intersemiotic translation

Summary/Abstract: The new indigenous literature in Mexico, written in native languages and translated into Spanish by the authors themselves, represents a distinct cultural project. Its defining features include interlingual self-translation, the publication of bilingual editions, and intersemiotic translation, which, among other aspects, involves the transition from oral tradition to written form. The primary goal of bilingual editions is to promote Mexican indigenous languages and literature. However, limited literacy in indigenous languages means that these texts are predominantly read in Spanish. This paradox highlights the hegemonic power of the Spanish language over minoritized languages and marginalized cultures. Despite cultural and linguistic violence, this literature is undergoing revitalization and serves multiple functions: if it cannot be read, it can be heard or even "watched", thanks to the digital activism of its authors, who take on multiple social roles.
