Abstract
This dissertation explores the intersection of translation, literature, and activism, focusing on the works of three influential women writers: Victoria Kent, Aurora Correa, and Valeria Luiselli. I delve into the societal impact of language and literature, drawing from Translation, Translator, and Literary Studies to analyze the activist role of translation in the writings of the authors and highlight the transformative power of language within the context of exile, immigration, and social justice. Through a comprehensive analysis of the translators' experiences, the dissertation illuminates the multifaceted relationship between language, identity, and activism, where I investigate the ways in which these women writers use translation as a tool for social and political engagement, emphasizing the agency embedded in the act of translation and interpreting. The project also underscores the pivotal role of translators in promoting cross-cultural understanding and challenging societal norms through their literary productions. Furthermore, the dissertation sheds light on the complex dynamics of language access, interpretation, and cultural representation, offering new perspectives on the activist potential of translation in literature. By examining the translation strategies employed by Kent, Correa, and Luiselli, I reveal the innovative impact of their work on literature and education. Ultimately, this dissertation contributes to the evolving field of Translation and Translator Studies by showcasing the instrumental role of women translators in amplifying marginalized voices, fostering intercultural dialogue, and advocating for social change.
