TRANSLATION POLICIES IN POST-COMMUNIST ROMANIA: A CASE OF POST-COLONIALISM?
TRANSLATION POLICIES IN POST-COMMUNIST ROMANIA: A CASE OF POST-COLONIALISM?

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims at presenting the situation of the Romanian writers’ “export” abroad, i.e. the translation policies operating in post-Communist Romania. Starting from Lawrence Venuti’s considerations on the asymmetrical relations between literatures, the “preliminary norms” identified by G. Toury, the concept of “cultural authority” (André Lefevere), and the post-colonial orientations in TS, this analysis will hopefully lead to a better understanding of the way in which Romanian literature is/could be (better) propagated abroad.
