La traducción español > italiano de la narrativa de posguerra. Un análisis lingüístico-traductológico de un fragmento de La Colmena a partir de la labor traslativa de Sergio Ponzanelli

This paper aims to analyse a brief fragment of the famous work La Colmena written by Camilo José Cela from a linguistic, translatological and contrastive perspective (Spanish-Italian) based on the translation work undertaken by Sergio Ponzanelli. After framing the novel within a social, historical and literary context, we will deal with its characteristics and peculiarities at a formal and meaning level. Next, we will carry out an analysis of the translatological choices made by the translator by means of a comparison between the original version and the translated one and we will reflect upon the language used by the author through his characters. We will adopt a qualitative and heuristic-speculative methodology. On the qualitative level, the translatological analysis will allow us to determine the reason for the translatological operations carried out when translating the text into Italian. The heuristic-speculative paradigm will allow us to consider a series of hypotheses about the communicative efficacy of the choices made by Sergio Ponzanelli. Finally, based on modern translation theories we aim to emphasise linguistic, stylistic, cultural, pragmatic and contrastive aspects that could be a hindrance to the activity of a literary translator.
