Epitesto e traduzione per l’infanzia e l’adolescenza

Following the consolidation of children’s literature and the growing attention that Translation Studies are paying to it, it seems appropriate to dwell on the reflections carried out by translators operating in this field. Contemporary children’s fiction shows that translators rarely take the floor in the peritext. However, as virtual spaces of expression are proliferating, a virtual epitext seems to be emerging and taking form, where (children’s literature) translators have a chance to make their voices heard, and achieve increased visibility. These epitextual spaces can profitably contribute to Translation Studies, notably in the sense of a process-oriented approach in children’s literature translation.
