Abstract
The cultural policies applied by the Spanish Francoist regime (1939-1975) aimed at exerting a strict control over all circulating repertoires. One of its most evident signs of protectionism was the establishment of an official state censorship body, in charge of supervising cultural production and dissemination. Through the analysis of censored fragments from the movie En el umbral de la vida (Nära livet, 1958), by Ingmar Bergman, I will try to establish how censorship influenced translation practices at that time. Drawing on concepts derived from the cultural turn in Descriptive Translation Studies, namely patronage and translation as rewriting, developed by Lefevere (1992), I will try to establish what kind of ideological constraints influenced the Francoist manipulation of film discourse in this particular case. En el umbral de la vida portrays maternity in an ambiguous way. The intervention of censorship served here the purpose of erasing any negative reference depicted in the film, favoring instead the Francoist biased discourse about the issue of maternity.
