A case study in the use of quantitative methods for the analysis of translation in periodical publications

image of Chapter 5. Shaping translation in two Mexican cultural magazines

This article examines various kinds of metadata that allow us to explore the ways in which translation was showcased in two turn-of-the-century Mexican literary periodicals: the Revista Azul (1894–1896) and the Revista Moderna (1898–1903). It describes the methodological challenges that arise when approaching such uncharted territory, especially those related to the creation of datasets of translated texts, and argues in favour of the integration of qualitative and quantitative analysis in their treatment. More precisely, it demonstrates the importance of implementing descriptive statistics in order to establish distinctions in the uses of translation that would not be evident at first sight due to the size of the corpora. Combined with content analysis, these inform us about the contribution of each magazine to the institutionalisation of literary activity and to cultural renovation. Ultimately, this also reaffirms the importance of data visualisation in this process.
