Translating Husserlian Phenomenology into Spanish: A Translation Studies/Sociological Perspective
Centered on the translations of two of Husserl’s works –Cartesian Meditations and Ideas—this paper aims to show the complexity of reconstructing the Husserlian corpus in Spanish. Cultural sociology and sociology of translation provide the theoretical framework used for studying the role of the philosophers-translators of the Hispanic intellectual network, as well as the discourses they produce to address the importation of phenomenological ideas. On the basis of a textual continuum which includes original works, as well as translations and paratexts written by the translators, an intellectual network can be drawn to show the relationship between “philosophy” and “translation.”
