Tesis (doctorado) Universidad del Salvador, Buenos Aires 2002

The essence of the act of translating has implied, from early times, dealing with different and often extreme approaches. The aim of this work is to offer a general view of two of them - "The linguistic approach and the hermeneutic approach" - and to demonstrate that both approaches can intervene simultaneously during every act of translating - the intervention of one does not discard the possible intervention of the other. To that effect, although specialized translation is included in the analysis, much greater attention has been paid to literary translation. In addition, in Part III, by means of abundant evidence, the act of translating is defined as consisting in "An Act of Freedom" and also in "An adventure in the Fields of Culture"...
