Resumen: In western translation theories, Lawrence Venuti and Eugene Nida appear to be standing at too opposing poles regarding the equivalence theory, and are notable for their prominent disagreement on the issue. Their theories diverge in their responses to equivalence, and disagree, essentially, on the functions of translation as well as the aspects of an acceptable translation. This disagreement unfolded itself clearly during a conference at Binghamton University in 1991. In this essay, I intend to juxtapose the exceptionally different theoretical approaches of these two prominent translation scholars. I also intend to show how Venuti's views on translation in practice challenges Nida's theoretical approaches to translation, and surprisingly enough his own theories particularly speaking, foreignizing and domesticating translations in which he has been extensively engaged. Finally I intend to show how Venuti's practice of translation challenges his earlier attack on Nida's conceptions of the "dynamic equivalence," "naturalness of expression" (Nida 1964: 159) and the notion of "the equivalent effect" (de Waard & Nida 1986: 9).

Resumen: Hoy son tantas y tan diversas las teorías en torno a la práctica de la traducción que puede dar la impresión de que nos encontramos en el escenario de una segunda Babel. Si ha sido la práctica la que ha inspirado siempre la teoría de la traducción, los tratados, escritos expresamente para dar una respuesta al complicado y misterioso fenómeno de la traducción, son cosas del siglo XX, especialmemnte de sus últimas décadas. Los capítulos de este libro pretenden englobar los enfoques traductológicos contemporáneos mas significativos que desde los años ́60 hasta ahora se han multiplicado vertiginosamente. Su repaso seguirá un orden cronológico, en la medida de lo posible, y dialéctico, cada uno de los intentos teóricos no se verá de forma aislada, sinó en relacion con los demás. dada la multiplicidad de enfoques traductológicos, hoy por hoy parece necesaria una teoría de la traducción integradora. Este es uno de los retos que deberán afrontar los estudios de traducción en el siglo XXI. De momento, este libro solo pretende ser una obra introductoria y divulgativa a la vez de las teorías contemporáneas de la traducción.
