Abstract
This article illuminates the role that translation can play in the study of the history of publishing and culture. It analyses Einaudi’s strategies for publishing contemporary foreign poetry in 1960s Italy. Interpreting unpublished archival data from a Bourdieusian perspective, the article reassesses the role played by Einaudi in the political and poetic movements of the day, arguing that poetry translation was instrumental in modifying the publishing, literary and political field, and in redefining, transnationally, the intellectual identity of the Einaudi editors. The study of the history of publishing from the perspective of translation, in conjunction with a sociological methodology, not only discloses the position taken by the Italian publisher within the field, but ultimately provides an alternative historical account of how culture was shaped in post-Second World War Italy.
