This interdisciplinary workshop has three main objectives: 1. To analyse the production and translation (English-Spanish) of a set of literary texts whose nature might be described as hybrid and heterogeneous; 2. To study the configuration of the discursive image (//ethos//) which appears as the entity responsible for the global enunciation of the texts; 3. To examine the aesthetic effect and reading dynamics enacted in both source and target texts.
