Abstract

Translation and censorship played a central role in shaping literary and cultural life during Francoism. In this paper I evaluate recent contributions to the analysis of their relationship. On the one hand I consider critically Billani’s concept of “textual nationality”, on the other hand the distinction in translated texts made by Rundle and Sturge between alterations due to the intervention of censorship and those due to literary conventions or matters of good taste. Lastly I emphasize the work by three editors: Josep Janés, Carlos Barral and Josep Maria Castellet in renewing the Spanish and Catalan publishing landscape through translations and their relationship to censorship.

Keywords: translation; censorship; textual nationality; publishing world; literary conventions.
