The magazine as a medium of cultural translation

First steps towards transnational research

ORCID logo | Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen | Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen
Our research project seeks to understand periodical publications as a medium of cultural translation. This article explains some of the practical challenges which must be confronted when building a digital corpus which transcends the logic of national archives. Focusing on a specific journal, La Gaceta Literaria, the article then proceeds to explore data visualizations in a mixed-method approach which aims at building a bridge between quantitative and qualitative analyses. The project also explores the periodical’s ambition to construct a global community from an Ibero-American perspective, an aim not without (neo)imperialistic implications. It does so with a particular focus on the role of translation, and the use of various languages used within the journal in order to reach this goal.
Keywords: Cultural Magazines, Spain, Latin America, Digital Humanities, metadata, visualization, La Gaceta Literaria , imagined Iberian-American community, translation, multilingualism
