Abstract
Taking as our starting point the moving necrology that literary translator Peter Bush dedicates to his professional colleague, Helen Lane, we delve into several key issues of literary translation: translation as "the circulatory system of the world's literatures" (Sontag, 2007: 17), the figure of the translator as a writer and his or her fruitful collaboration with the author when possible, his or her unwanted and forced invisibility in the works they translate, which has given rise to awareness campaigns, platforms of demands indeed, such as #namethetranslator and #TranslatorOnTheCover, the consumption of translated literature, etc. At the same time, a reflection is carried out on the status quo of the discipline of Translation Studies: Is there really a shift from Translation Studies to Translator Studies? Are we entering or have we already entered the era of Post-Translation Studies?
