Economia ed ecologia della traduzione poetica

In this article, Federico Italiano investigates the spatial dimension of poetic translation, focusing on two interconnected yet distinct operations: the economic and the ecological. The central thesis posits that translation is an act of "inhabiting," transforming the text into a sustainable and autonomous linguistic habitat within its new context. By conceptualizing translation as "eco-morphosis," the translator operates not as a miner extracting meaning but as a forager who respects the intricate networks of the text. This ecological approach transcends semantic fidelity and domesticated translations, proposing a "third way": hospitality. This perspective reimagines the text as a shared space, offering readers a multisensory and experiential engagement.
