Stefan Zweig was the only important German writer who chose Brazil for his exile in the 1940s. Before he committed suicide in Brazil, he wrote the frequently cited and more frequently criticized book in which Brazil is called the land of the future. But in Brazil he also finished another book, 'Die Welt von Gestern', a book of memories, an account of the world from which Zweig came, a work of historic, cultural and political relevance, which was immediately published in Spanish (Argentine) and Portuguese (Brazilian) translations. When compared with the German original, these translations contain significant cuts and modifications, which can be understood as interventions of some kind of censorship, and which are prejudicial to the political brisance of the book.
Man liest Übersetzungen im Allgemeinen als transparente Stellvertreter eines fremdsprachlichen Ausgangstextes, ohne sich des Prozesses des Übersetzens, bzw. der Übersetztheit des Textes bewusst zu sein. Was aber geschieht beim Übersetzen? Übersetzen ist immer Interpretation, so die brasilianische Translationswissenschaftlerin Rosemary Arrojo. Anhand zweier Erzählungen, "Liebe" und "Die Dame und das Ungeheuer oder die allzu große Wunde", der Autorin Clarice Lispector, ins Deutsche übersetzt von Curt Meyer-Clason und Sarita Brandt, wird nach Übersetzungsstrategien und den sich daraus ergebenden Interpretationen, nach Sichtbarkeit und Unsichtbarkeit der Übersetzer und der Übersetzung gefragt, die aus den Zieltexten erkennbar sind, stellt man sie den Ausgangstexten gegenüber.
This paper focusses On the discussion of the preservation of expressive aspects in translation., Considerations are grounded on the HJELMSLEVian concepts of the isomorphy between the planes of content and expression, which are both constituted by-substance and form. The present study intends to show that the connotative equivalence of a text can only be achieved in the target language when attention is paid to both the formal-stylistic and the textual-normative dimensions. This involves the appropriation of the stylistic values of the linguistic expression in the source language and, mainly, the understanding of the tropes and the relationships between them. Thus, the present study draws on discourse analysis, comprehending "enunciation" theories and the rhetorical and pragmatic considerations on the level of expression. Considering that the literary text is privileged in providing stylistically marked choices, it is important to highlight the phonetic and semantic correspondences, that is, the close relationship between sound and meaning, which harbours one of the major difficulties in translation. The theory is applied to "Os Sertões" (English translation: "Rebellion on the Backlands") by Euclides da Cunha.
This essay aims at making a survey of Kafka’s reception in Brazil. After justifying the importance of this study, I show how intermittently Kafka’s work was translated into Brazilian Portuguese in the very beginning of his reception, that is to say, 1956. The first text published in Brazil was "Die Verwandlung", which was written in German in 1915. However this text was not translated from the German, but from the English. Other texts were translated from the French. Translations from the German only appeared in 1983, among them the one with the 'short stories' "Kleine Fabel", "Der Geier", "Gibs auf!" and "Vor dem Gesetz". It is interesting to notice that essays and other articles in newspapers on Kafka and his work preceded the translations. For example, the first essay on the author was written by Otto Maria Carpeaux in August 1941 in the newspaper "Correio da Manhã". Nowadays Kafka’s work is object of considerable research in Brazil.
Este artigo recapitula as traduções de Wilhelm Busch publicadas no Brasil e aponta que determinadas circunstâncias de publicação levaram a uma recepção unilateral de sua obra exclusivamente como literatura infantil nesse país. Entre outras estratégias que poderiam estender para uma faixa etária adulta o público leitor da poesia humorística buschiana, propõe-se que o Knittelvers seja traduzido para o português como decassílabo iâmbico. Uma tradução anotada do poema "Hänsel und Gretel" nesse padrão métrico-acentual testa em que medida a escolha consciente de um ritmo e o aproveitamento de associações culturais desencadeadas por ele podem destacar o efeito irônico desse pseudoconto-de-fada.
A tradução de Samuel Putnam de "Os Sertões" : "Rebellion in the Backlands" de Euclides da Cunha
(1997)
The present paper looks at certain aspects of Samuel Putnam's translation of Euclides da Cunha's "Os Sertões", "Rebellion in the Backlands". Of great importance is the fact that "Os Sertões", usually seen as a work of literature in Brazil, is seen more as a factual narrative in English, and placed by its publisher, the University of Chicago Press, in the Literature/History section. Putnam also adds a large number of footnotes to those of Euclides de Cunha. Also of interest is the fact that Putnam, translating just when the US was entering the Second World War, goes to great lengths in his preface to emphasize how close "Os Sertões" is to the American experience of division in both the Civil War and the entrance of the US into the Second World War.
A tradução para a criança e para o jovem: a prática como base da reflexão e da relação profissional
(2005)
This article deals with the attempt of systematizing my experience as translator of literature written for children and young people. On the basis of some considerations about aspects shared by both, the production and the translation of this kind of literature, this article presents a number of examples taken from translations of German texts into Brazilian Portuguese. Consequences concerning the importance of concepts like interaction and creativeness in translation are then briefly discussed. A claim for a more systematic consideration of the question by Translation Studies and for a special position to be occupied by this genre of texts in the professional field is the background of the article.
Der Autor als Schreiber und Herausgeber : Perspektiven auf die Paratexte von Brentanos „Godwi“
(2006)
In Brentanos ›Godwi‹ [wird] das eigentümliche romantische Verfahren des Anbildens und Aneignens als »Uebersetzung« bezeichnet. Neben der Übersetzung aus fremden Sprachen – man denke an das Schlegel-Tiecksche Projekt der Übersetzung Shakespeares – kann sich der Begriff der ›Übersetzung‹ auch auf die intermediale Transformation von Zeichensystemen, etwa die Auflösung von Bildern in Sprache, oder auf die editoriale Tätigkeit beziehen. Ein sprechendes Beispiel hierfür ist die von Arnim und Brentano besorgte Sammlung und Überarbeitung von Volksliedern in ›Des Knaben Wunderhorn‹. Die beiden Herausgeber praktizierten ein editorisches Verfahren, das sich nicht mit der Transkription in die Schriftsprache begnügt, sondern eine sehr weitreichende »literarische Stilisierung« des Ausgangsmaterials vornimmt. Das gemeinsame Merkmal dieser verschiedenen Modi der Übersetzung liegt darin, daß ihnen jeweils eine eigentümliche Bewegung des Zitierens zugrunde liegt, mit der das Original in einen anderen Kontext manövriert und dort neu gerahmt wird. Dabei strebt die Übersetzung nicht die »Ähnlichkeit mit dem Original« an, sondern nimmt eine modulierende »Wandlung und Erneuerung des Lebendigen« vor, durch die sich das Original ändert. In gleicher Weise legt das Konzept einer anbildenden und umbildenden ›Neuen Mythologie‹ nahe, daß die »alte Natur und Kraft« der Poesie mit einer neu ins Werk zu setzenden »Kraft zum Bruch« interagiert.
Desafios à tradução do texto satírico : alguns exemplos de "Dritte Walpurgisnacht" de Karl Kraus
(2012)
Último texto de fôlego de Kraus, "Dritte Walpurgisnacht" ("Terceira noite de Valpúrgis") foi a reação do satirista à tomada do poder por Hitler. Do ponto de vista tradutório, oferece grande variedade de problemas, visto que o autor faz um uso exuberante de citações, trocadilhos, aliterações, neologismos e variações de ditos, provérbios, máximas e lugarescomuns. Este artigo apresenta alguns desses problemas e discute possibilidades para sua solução, não sem antes definir uma abordagem teórica.
