In this context, this article reviews the activist translation approach to make visible the need to change the translator habitus in Chile, in order to assume a more visible and active one, characterized by ideological empowerment and the valorization of the agency of translators. It also reviews how ethical aspects regulate the application of this approach and the elements that underlie the value of translation as a social, ethical and political activity and as an ideological tool of resistance are summarized.

A partir de los estudios poscoloniales y ante la tradicional postura invisible y neutral de quienes ejercen profesionalmente en el área de la traducción, se comenzó a postular que se podría adoptar un papel más visible y asumir una participación activa en la sociedad para ofrecer cierta resistencia frente los modelos socioculturales dominantes. En este contexto, el presente artículo revisa el enfoque de traducción activista para visibilizar la necesidad de cambiar el habitus traductor en Chile y asumir uno más visible y activo, caracterizado por el empoderamiento ideológico y la valorización de la capacidad de acción. De igual manera, se reflexiona sobre cómo los aspectos éticos regulan la aplicación de este enfoque y se repasan los elementos que fundamentan el valor de la traducción como actividad social, ética y política y como herramienta ideológica. A partir de esta reflexión, se propone abordar el enfoque activista en las aulas, como primer paso para cambiar la idea tradicional sobre la traducción. Además, se destaca la importancia de un aprendizaje más autorreflexivo para que el estudiantado sea consciente de sus decisiones desde el inicio de su formación y logre desarrollar un habitus que le permita empoderarse y realizar activismo a través de su profesión.
