• Resumen

  • Any act of intercultural mediation, or of rapprochement between cultures, creates losses that should be minimized in a process of dynamic and revitalizing translation (Hurtado Albir, 2007). It is a negotiation that becomes even more complicated in the literary sphere, in particular in the poetic genre and in the narrative lyric, in which the challenge of (re)creating the original text in the target language becomes a hermeneutic-systemic task, capable of reproducing, where possible, the work polyphony and polymetry (Benvenuto and Michienzi, 2020). Very often, when such negotiation is impossible, the adaptation of the work is preferred. In this regard, this work analyses the Italian editions of the Don Juan Tenorio by the Spanish romantic playwright José Zorrilla, with the aim of verifying whether and how the translation respected the original text, trying to highlight the fragile boundaries between translation and adaptation. More specifically, the analysis focuses on cases of retranslation and on the code switching employed by the author.
