With a view to foster a desire to discover works of Argentine literature and thinking abroad, Ministerial Resolution N° 41 of 2 February 2009 implemented a Translation support programme to promote and strengthen the publishing of such works in foreign languages.
Some of the main features of PROSUR are:
These works can be chosen from within the different literary genres and they may be by both classic and contemporary Argentine authors, whose themes are representative of the country’s national identity.
The Programme was launched as a result of the commitment made by the Argentine Government to promote the translation of works by Argentine authors so as to encourage their printing in foreign languages and to disseminate our imagery, ideas and values abroad.
Since it was created the Programme has awarded more than 1.652 works translated into 50 languages.
