- Public Abstract (ETD)
- This thesis, Therapy on Tap, consists of my translation of Martina Cañas’ Terapia de schop, the fifth book in her Mujer Borracha series and an introduction providing background information and analysis of my translation strategies. Therapy on Tap, a work of auto-fiction originally published in 2021, joins Martina as she starts therapy sessions, then meets and learns to embrace her many parts. During the process, Martina never stops being herself – a rowdy and hilarious woman who loves alcohol and men. She creates familiarity with readers by using colloquial language and breaking the fourth wall, and she takes a humorous approach to therapy and other weighty topics such as living through a pandemic and violent social uprising. An introduction provides a short history of the digital origins of Cañas’ Mujer Borracha series as well as Chilean cultural context that she was writing in and responding to. The introduction goes on to also discuss translation strategies for colloquial language and humor, and the general difficulties with translating a niche vernacular like Chilean Spanish.
