Theatrical translation contest at the Basque House in Paris in 1958

This paper provides data on a theatrical translation contest organised in Paris during the Francoism (1958). It analyses a mediation structure in the field of translated literature into Basque, taking into account the agents of translation in exile and the conditions of production and circulation at the time. On the one hand, in order to contextualise the translated literature of the period, the cultural, literary, theatrical and translation production in exile are reviewed, as well as the translation prizes we know. Secondly, we analyse data on the competition, revealing a network of relationships and conflicts as well as the nature of the structures of the field of translation in exile.
