Poetic Transrealism
Transrealism in poetry or uchronism, according to this poetic movement's father, the Chilean poet Sergio Badilla Castillo, is created upon a transposition of time, which means that temporary scenes merge, in the textual text corpus, corpus, and in this way linear coherence between the past, the present and the future is interrupted and reality turns into a kind of derivation or timeless link to a beyond-time, where poetic pictures and actions are represented or performed. This is how the temporal idea acquires a parachronic character or parachrony. Another element of this transience is uchrony starting from a point in the past where something happened, in a different way or as it has happened, in reality (what could have been but wasn't), in material temporality, but nevertheless is possible to express itself as an element situated in abstract space, supported by the theories of Albert Einstein and Max Planck, regarding the spacetime combination. As to a quantum, Badilla Castillo c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Critics praised his poetry for its accessibility, even in translation. His poetry has been translated into over 60 languages.

Unsurprisingly, most of the early colonists' work relied on contemporary English models of poetic form, diction, and Theme (literary), theme. However, in the 19th century, a distinctive American Common parlance, idiom began to emerge. By the later part of that century, when Walt Whitman was winning an enthusiastic audience abroad, List of poets from the United States, poets from the United States had begun to take their place at the forefront of the English-language ''avant-garde''.

Translator
Translation is the communication of the Meaning (linguistic), meaning of a #Source and target languages, source-language text by means of an Dynamic and formal equivalence, equivalent #Source and target languages, target-language text. The English language draws a terminology, terminological distinction (which does not exist in every language) between ''translating'' (a written text) and ''Language interpretation, interpreting'' (oral or Sign language, signed communication between users of different languages); under this distinction, translation can begin only after the appearance of writing within a language community. A translator always risks inadvertently introducing source-language words, grammar, or syntax into the target-language rendering. On the other hand, such "spill-overs" have sometimes imported useful source-language calques and loanwords that have enriched target languages. Translators, including early translators of sacred texts, have helped shape the very l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
