Ang Lunan ng Hubad: Cebuanong Salin sa Filipino. (Filipino)

What is hubad in the context of Cebuano literature? This paper delves deeply into the word hubad to show its appropriateness in the context of translation. Tracing back history, Cebuano literature has been relegated to a marginalized position in the Philippine literary field due to the outbreak of World War II, until translations arose in the 1970s due to the efforts of Cebuano scholars to overcome its marginalized position. Through translation, Cebuano literature started to be acknowledged in the Philippine literary field, as there were already publications of canonized translation projects of Cebuano literature. The study reviewed the production of Cebuano literature translation projects. The translated Cebuano literature in Filipino published from 1970-2010, examined the hindrances or problems faced by vernacular translators, and the role of vernacular translators as being marginalized. Politics in translation is one of the barriers which is very influential in the production and canon formation of translated Cebuano literature, then lacking funds and marginalization of the vernacular translators. Using the postcolonial translation theory of Andre Lefevere, the constituencies that control the production process are identified, and the agenda behind the production of Cebuano literature translation projects. John Guillory's theory of the canon and Barbara Herrnstein Smith's argument of "value/evaluation" is employed on how translation has influenced the formation of an alternative canon while using Etamar Zohar's theory.
