Humorous expression reenacted in translation: the recreation of three characters from Stephen Leacock’s sunshine sketches
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: This article on my proposal of an annotated translation of Stephen Leacock’s comic novel Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town (1912) comprises the scrutiny of a rather non-hegemonic and overlooked discursive literary channel: humour. My analysis of the novel and reflection upon some of the excerpts translated elaborate upon the role of the translator as an active agent for the diffusion of epistemologies that deviate from normativity – highlighting how the translation of comic effects contribute to the dissemination of such deviation in time and space.
