La lettura bilingue della poesia autotradotta
Un caso di edizione bilingue
Abstract
T
This article starts from the hypothesis that the bilingual reading of self-translated poetry presents a new key of interpretation, different from both the monolingual and the bilingual reading of translation. The study is an investigation of this key, as it appears in the reading of the poetry of Gentiana Minga (b. 1971), an author of Albanian origin, active in Italy since the 90s. Through the reading of her latest collection of poems, a bilingual edition written in Italian and partly self-translated into Albanian, published by Terra d'ulivi edizioni in 2021, this study aims to demonstrate that the self-translated version in a bilingual edition is not read as a translation, but as part of one whole multilingual text.
