Spanish term

calas

Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
From the summary of an academic paper on Lucian of Samosata in which an analysis will be made of some of his works as well as those of his translators and imitators. Spanish from Spain.

Por último, se realizarán algunas *calas* específicas en obras hispánicas de creación aún menos estudiadas y que revelan la libre circulación occidental de los textos y el espesor de su influencia.


En una segunda fase, teniendo como base el texto griego primitivo y las ediciones bilingües grecolatinas renacentistas, hacer varias *calas* con los textos latinos y algunos vernáculos (italianos, españoles e ingleses), e intentar configurar el grado de fidelidad traductora y la censura impuesta por los propios traductores del samosatense...


TIA

I do think "explore" implies travelling in unknown/unfamiliar territory.
Elizabeth Joy Pitt de Morales (asker) Feb 22, 2012:
Yes, my first thought was "explorations", but I was trying to somehow more specifically express the "previously unexplored" aspect of it. There may not be a succinct expression. Thank you for your suggestions!

The RAE definition that, I think, applies here 11. f. Investigación en algún campo inexplorado del saber. Seis calas en la expresión literaria española

Nothing to do with calques ;)
