Resumo
Este estudo, primeiramente, apresenta uma discussão fundamentada na teoria e na experiência, tendo como temática central a tradução cultural. Deste modo, as discussões aqui desenvolvidas apontam a afinidade existente entre os Estudos da Tradução e os Estudos Culturais, devido à influência que estes últimos exercem sobre os estudos da tradução cultural. O estudo traz concepções referentes à tradução cultural, abordando alguns aspectos importantes e intrínsecos a esta temática, tais como negociação e mediação cultural. Expõe ainda algumas considerações, especificamente, sobre a tradução da cultura brasileira, a partir de uma breve menção a pressupostos e discursos proferidos sobre a cultura do Brasil, que culminam em sua tradução cultural. A seguir, apresenta três obras do escritor brasileiro Milton Hatoum – Dois irmãos (2006), Cinzas do Norte (2005) e Órfãos do Eldorado (2008a) – as quais foram traduzidas pelo tradutor e crítico literário inglês John Gledson. Por fim, o estudo, embasado nos Estudos da Tradução e nos Estudos Culturais, imbui-se de analisar as traduções das respectivas obras, a saber: The Brothers (2002), Ashes of the Amazon (2008b) e Orphans of Eldorado (2009a). Nesse sentido, este trabalho aponta soluções encontradas pelo tradutor de Hatoum no que se refere, sobretudo, à tradução de elementos culturais presentes nestes romances, a fim de demonstrar que Gledson, ao final das traduções – por mais que suas ideias sobre tradução denotem, por vezes, forte apego ao texto fonte e certa sacralização deste – apresenta um novo texto, isto é, uma reescrita. Para tanto, esta pesquisa conta com o embasamento teórico de importantes estudiosos das áreas dos Estudos da Tradução e dos Estudos Culturais, como Denys Cuche (1999), Peter Burke (2003, 2009), Stuart Hall (2011), Susan Bassnett (1998, 2007), André Lefevere (2007) e também do tradutor John Gledson (1994, 2007, 2014).
This study, first of all, presents a discussion based on theory and experience, with the central theme cultural translation discussion. Thus, it points out the affinity between Translation Studies and Cultural Studies, due to the influence they exert on recent studies of cultural translation. The study brings conceptions concerning cultural ranslation, addressing some important and intrinsic to this theme, such as negotiation and cultural mediation aspects. It still exposes some considerations, specifically, on the translation of Brazilian culture, from a brief mention of assumptions and speeches about Brazil culture, culminating in its cultural translation. After that, it presents three works of Brazilian writer Milton Hatoum - Dois irmãos (2006), Cinzas do Norte (2005) and Órfãos do Eldorado (2008a), which were translated by the translator and English literary critic John Gledson. Finally, the study, based on Translation Studies and Cultural Studies, aims to analyze translations of these works, namely: The Brothers (2002), Ashes of the Amazon (2008b) and Orphans of Eldorado (2009a). So, this work points out the solutions found by Hatoum’s translator with regard mainly to the translation of cultural elements present in these novels in order to demonstrate that the translations of Gledson – as much as his ideas about translation sometimes denote deep attachment to the source text and some sacredness of this text – presents a new text, in other words, a rewriting. For that, this research has the theoretical support of important scholars in the areas of Translation Studies and Cultural Studies, such as Denys Cuche (1999), Peter Burke (2003, 2009), Stuart Hall (2011), Susan Bassnett (1998, 2007), André Lefevere (2007) and also the translator John Gledson (1994, 2007, 2014).
