Marcela de Juan<\/strong><\/p>\n Marcela de Juan (Huang Masai, \u9ec4\u739b\u8d5b) \u00e9s una de les figures m\u00e9s destacades de l’\u00e0mbit de la traducci\u00f3 del xin\u00e8s al castell\u00e0. Filla d’un diplom\u00e0tic xin\u00e8s i d’una ciutadana belga, de Juan va n\u00e9ixer a l’Havana el 1905 i va viure llargs per\u00edodes a Madrid i a Pequ\u00edn a causa de les destinacions del seu pare. Com a traductora, escriptora i int\u00e8rpret del xin\u00e8s al castell\u00e0, va dur a terme una tasca de difusi\u00f3 important\u00edssima de la cultura xinesa a Espanya, amb una especial dedicaci\u00f3 a la literatura.<\/p>\n En la seva vessant de traductora, es va dedicar especialment a la traducci\u00f3 de relats i poesia, amb diverses antologies publicades en tots dos camps. Alhora, cal destacar que no es va limitar a descobrir-nos un autor o una \u00e8poca concrets, sin\u00f3 que va traduir obres de dinasties diferents, per la qual cosa va oferir al lector espanyol una visi\u00f3 global de la literatura xinesa. La seva tasca va ser especialment important perqu\u00e8 va donar un nou impuls a la traducci\u00f3 del xin\u00e8s al castell\u00e0, que ocupava una posici\u00f3 secund\u00e0ria a principis del segle XX.<\/p>\n Per la seva posici\u00f3 socioecon\u00f2mica, de Juan va tenir un acc\u00e9s privilegiat a pensadors espanyols i xinesos, com ara P\u00edo Baroja o Hu Shi, un aspecte que va enriquir el seu coneixement d’ambdues cultures. De Juan va morir a Ginebra el 1981 i hem considerat adequat recuperar la seva figura per a aquest premi de traducci\u00f3 del xin\u00e8s al castell\u00e0 i al catal\u00e0, precisament, perqu\u00e8 ella va ser una de les primeres grans traductores modernes del xin\u00e8s a Espanya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chinese-Spanish\/Catalan Translation Award Marcela de Juan This award aims to promote literary translation from Chinese into Spanish and Catalan and rewards the best translations that have been published recently.
