Summary: | Literary translation is a research and action field that shares characteristics with General Translation and Original Literary Production, but it is not restricted to these fields of knowledge. So, it must have its own epistemic profile. Starting from this principle, this thesis demonstrates the truth within it defining literary translation beyond the boundaries of General Translation and below the limits of Original Literary Production. Theoretical support to this impression is given through references to the concepts of the reading wheel and the writing wheel associated with desire, erasure and re-reading aiming for the establishment of an epistemological status adequate to Literary Translation according to the principles of Genetic Criticism approached by several authors, mainly Phillippe Willemart. As far as Translation theories are concerned, several authors are considered as well, with emphasis on Linda Hutcheon and Bergmann & Lisboa. Pragmatic support to this proposal, on the other hand, is presented through translational and critical-genetical analyses of the version of Depois do Último Trem, by Josué Guimarães, to English and a procedural analysis of the logbook composed along the sessions of translation of this original book. This logbook contains the procedures adopted by the translator in charge to get up to his final work, After the Last Train. Through the analyses of this translation and its logbook, the truth within the principle stated above shall rest demonstrated and the establishment of epistemic limits adequate to Literary Translation is proposed as a challenge to future studies that may use this thesis as reference. This paper closes with the statement that Literary Translation deserves and must have its own epistemic space and with a literary ending, a short story based on the theme discussed here. |
