Abstract
Translation could be defined as an unequal mediation, or transaction, between the global and the local, or even between the local and the local, following Eugenio Barba's economic metaphor of "a supermarket of cultures" which serves as the subtitle of this article. Following this metaphor, the article reviews interculturalism in stage translation over the last twenty years, with views of translation either as enrichment or as appropriation. The editor, after discussing the most important studies dealing with stage translation such as Ortrun Zuber’s anthology The Languages of Theatre: Problems in the Translation and Trasposition of Drama (1980) or Hanna Scolnicov’s and Peter Holland’s anthology The Play Out of Context: Transferring Plays from Culture to Culture (1989), digresses and dwells on the metaphor of the supermarket, as applied to cultural exchanges.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
