Între tăcere, murmur și lumină: provocările (re)traducerii poeziilor eminesciene în limba spaniolă
Amid Silence, Murmur and Light: the Challenges of (Re)translating Mihai Eminescu’s Poetry into Spanish

Summary/Abstract: The present contribution aims to highlight the framework and psychological devices underlying the translation choices advanced for updating Eminescu´s poems: Când însuși glasul..., Murmură glasul mării, Lectură. In addition, in our approach, which also delves into cultural reframing, several features of previous translations of the above mentioned poems into Spanish have been shed contrastive light on with a view to opening new pathways for rethinking the act of translation per se, as well as for revitalizing Eminescu´s legacy among both Spanish and Romanian readers. Moreover, the study foregrounds the way in which the Spanish rendition transposes the intralinguistic dynamism of Eminescu’s three poems under scrutiny. Particular attention is paid to the strategies deployed with respect to paradigmatic selection and syntagmatic combination in the process of language recodification so that the Spanish rendition might mirror the ideational shift of the source text. Taking into account that the aquatic, erotic and noetic levels in Eminescu’s poems intertwine, special emphasis is placed on the techniques we have resorted to in our rhyming rendition in order to create similar multilayered resonances in the target language, as well as to preserve the connotative density of the original.
