OROZCO, Wilson. Ideological and Formal Manipulation in Pablo Montoya Capuzano's Literay Translation. Íkala [online]. 2009, vol.14, n.21, pp.39-55. ISSN 0123-3432.

This article is a reflection on an interview with Colombian translator and writer Pablo Montoya Campuzano. Montoya was asked about his training as a translator, his translation strategies and his relationship with both writing and translation. In the reflection on Montoya's views, André Lefevere's theories were considered, particularly his conception of translation as a form of rewriting. According to Lefevere, in any form in which a literary text is rewritten-whether by choosing it for translation, translating it, or editing it-, there are two types of manipulation at play: ideological and formal manipulation. In light of these two concepts, Pablo Montoya's views are analyzed, taking into account his conception of translation as a writing exercise.

Keywords : Pablo Montoya Campuzano; literary translation; French literature; rewriting; manipulation; historical functions of translation.
