The purpose of this study is to analyze two literary translations of Astrid Lindgren’s Pippi Långstrump (Lindgren, 1945) from Swedish into English.  The study compares the British and the American English translations of neologisms, nonce words and proper nouns.  The primary data chosen for this study are the Swedish children’s book Pippi Långstrump (1945), written by Astrid Lindgren, and its 1954 British translation, by Edna Hurup, as well as the 1977 American English translation, by Florence Lamborn.  The method used in this study is qualitative, and consists of an in-depth analysis of representative examples of neologisms, nonce words and proper nouns.  Three research questions aimed at finding out what translation procedures were used, whether there were any differences between the two translations, and whether there were any semantic changes in the two translations.  The conclusion is that the most common translation procedure used is equivalence.  The most distinguishing difference between the two translations is that the American English translation seems to stay more true to the original text, whereas the British translation has a greater respect for the target text reader, in the sense that it is more culturally adapted than the American English translation.  There were no major semantic changes in the samples from the two translations, with the exception of a few examples.  In conclusion, both translators manage to maintain the atmosphere of the original text.

In order to examine how children's literature might be translated, two different English translations of two Swedish picture books have been analyzed. The original Swedish books are Rävjakten and Pannkakstårtan by Sven Nordqvist. Rävjakten was translated as The Fox Hunt in 1988 and as The Fox Hunt in 2000. Pannkakstårtan was translated as Pancake Pie in 1985 and as The Birthday Cake in 1999. Literary translation in general, specific translation issues for children's literature, and trends in international English style have been considered. Analysis of the four texts has been made, with consideration given to the following areas: changes in illustrations, layout, or format; text changes; lexical choices; and retention, deletion, or modification of names and culturally specific references. The analysis revealed that the following tendencies were true for the later translations: foreignization of the text, word-for-word translation of the text, and a neutral international English variety.

A partir da versão para a língua inglesa de dez contos da obra Ainda Orangotangos do autor gaúcho Paulo Scott (2003), este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma análise parcial do processo tradutório no que tange elementos culturais e narratológicos. Para realizar tal análise, foram contempladas três áreas de estudo: a Literatura Comparada, os Estudos da Tradução e a Narratologia. A Literatura Comparada abre as portas para a interdisciplinaridade aqui proposta e valida a tradução literária como seu objeto de estudo, visto que, de acordo com Carvalhal (2003), uma tradução literária pode ser considerada material criativo, na medida em que também constitui em um esforço criativo. O primeiro capítulo trata das questões culturais muito exploradas nos Estudos da Tradução. Martínez (2001), Newmark (1988) e Aixelá (1996) propõem algumas definições e classificações de elementos culturais úteis para reflexão, enquanto os dois últimos, além de Venuti (1992) e Sun (2012), apontam possíveis abordagens para a tradução destes elementos. Apesar de simpatizarmos com as propostas de Aixelá (1996) e Venuti (1992) de propagar o estranhamento em detrimento da domesticação, a proposta de Sun (2012) de equilibrar momentos de precisão e aceitabilidade foi considerada mais próxima de uma tradução realista. Por fim, Aixelá (1996) concebe um conjunto de técnicas de tradução que serão utilizadas aqui a fim de alcançar tal equilíbrio nas versões. O segundo capítulo trata das questões narratológicas e propõe um diálogo entre Narratologia e Estudos da Tradução. Autores como O'Sullivan (2003), Cavagnoli (2008), Nunes (2012) e Boase-Beier (2014) afirmam que o tradutor é leitor e (re)escritor do texto a ser traduzido, e que tal leitura precisa ser diferenciada, visto que questões de narrativa são tão importantes quanto as culturais para conceber o texto literário como um todo. Para fazer essa leitura, propomos a utilização de conceitos da Narratologia de Genette (1980) e Bal (2007). Traduzir é, portanto, uma tarefa interpretativa e transpõe não só o sentido, mas também a forma desse sentido. / Based on the translation of ten short stories from the book Ainda Orangotangos by Paulo Scott (2003) into English, this research aims at carrying out a partial analysis of the translation process regarding cultural and narratological elements. In order to carry out this analysis, three fields of study were contemplated: Comparative Literature, Translation Studies and Narratology. Comparative Literature makes such interdisciplinarity possible and validates literary translation as its object of study since, according to Carvalhal (2003), a literary translation can be considered creative material to the extent that it also constitutes creative effort. The first chapter addresses the cultural issues much explored by Translation Studies. Martínez (2001), Newmark (1988) and Aixelá (1996) propose some definitions and classifications of cultural elements useful for reflection, while the latter two, Venuti (1992) and Sun (2012), indicate possible approaches for translating these elements. Even though we appreciate the proposition by Aixelá (1996) and Venuti (1992) that foreignization should be propagated at the expense of domestication, the proposition by Sun (2012) of balancing accuracy and acceptability was considered better aligned with a realistic translation. Finally, Aixelá (1996) develops a set of translation techniques that are going to be employed to achieve such balance. The second chapter discusses the narratological issues and proposes a dialogue between Narratology and Translation Studies. Authors such as O'Sullivan (2003), Cavagnoli (2008), Nunes (2012) e Boase-Beier (2014) state that the translator is both reader and (re)writer of the text to be translated, and that such reading has to be deeper since narrative issues are as important as the cultural ones to conceive a literary text as a whole. In order to perform such special reading, we propose employing the narratological concepts by Genette (1980) and Bal (2007). Translating is therefore an interpretative task and transposes not only meaning, but also the form of that meaning.

Esta pesquisa é parte de um projeto maior, o PETra – Padrões de Estilo de Tradutores, coordenado pela Profa. Dra. Diva Cardoso de Camargo. A metodologia situa-se no campo dos estudos da tradução baseados em corpus (proposta de Baker, 1993, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2004; estudos sobre normalização de Scott, 1998; e pesquisas de Camargo, 2005, 2007), e no da linguística de corpus (estudos de Berber Sardinha, 2003, 2004); também se apoia na fortuna crítica da autora (trabalhos de Araújo, 2006; Bailey, 2010; Fiorucci, 2009; Gonçalves, 2001; Jacomel, 2008; Santos, 2005; Schmidt, 2009; Vieira, 2001; Wanderley, 2009 e Xavier, 2003). A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de uma combinação de análises semimanuais e de análises computadorizadas. Inicialmente, utilizamos o programa WordSmith Tools para obter a frequência das palavras na obra de Felinto. Em seguida, utilizamos a ferramenta KeyWords para identificar quais seriam as palavras-chave presentes no romance. Após esse levantamento, recorremos à fortuna crítica de Felinto e definimos cinco vocábulos considerados preferenciais da autora:homem, mulheres, chuva, amor e égua. Com base em Scott (1998), examinamos a tradução dos cinco vocábulos em relação a nove características de normalização. Os resultados encontrados nesta pesquisa mostram que a tradutora Irene Matthews tende a usar estratégias que podem ser identificadas como características de normalização / This thesis aims at analyzing the translation of words considered recurring and preferred in the novel As mulheres de Tijucopapo, by Marilene Felinto, as well as observing possible tendencies of normalization by the translator Irene Matthews in the translation to English: The women of Tijucopapo. This research is part of a bigger project, the PETra (Padrões de Estilo de Tradutores), coordinated by Doc. Diva Cardoso de Camargo. The methodology employed is that of corpus-based translation studies (proposed by Baker, 1993, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2004; Scott‘s study concerning normalization, 1998; and Camargo‘s research studies, 2005, 2007), and that of corpus linguistics (Berber Sardinha‘s study, 2003, 2004). We also base our study on Felinto‘s critical heritage (studies by Araújo, 2006; Bailey, 2010; Fiorucci, 2009; Gonçalves, 2001; Jacomel, 2008; Santos, 2005; Schmidt, 2009; Vieira, 2001; Wanderley, 2009, and Xavier, 2003). The research was carried out by means of a combination of semi- manual and computerized analyses. Initially, we used the computer software WordSmith Tools to obtain the frequency of the words in Felinto‘s book. Then, we went on to use the tool KeyWords to identify which would be the keywords in the author‘s novel. After collecting these data, we used Felinto‘s critical heritage in order to select five words that could be considered as recurring and preferred in Felinto‘s writing: 'homem‘ ('man‟), 'mulheres‘ ('women)‘, 'chuva‘ ('rain‘), 'amor‘ ('love‘) and 'égua‘ ('mare‘). Based on Scott (1998), we analyzed the translation of the five selected words in relation to nine normalization features. The results obtained in this study show that the translator Irene Matthews tends to use strategies that may be identified as features of normalization

Objetiva localizar eventuais transformações geradas pela tradução quanto a essas três dimensões da narrativa, tomadas isoladamente e em sua dinâmica. Enfocando principalmente a transposição da peculiar sintaxe do enunciado narrativo da obra ao alemão, discute efeitos de sentido possíveis eclipsados pelo processo tradutório ou por ele engendrados. No levantamento de alguns aspectos da fortuna crítica dedicada ao autor e sua obra, destaca-se o caráter revolucionário da linguagem; a presença do elemento histórico como agente na estrutura da obra, nas estratégias acionadas pelo discurso narrativo; o regionalismo articulado a técnicas refinadas de representação estética e à vanguarda; a transculturação. Ausência, vazio, desintegração, abertura do sintagma, distaxia: estes são alguns dos descritores que se destacam nesse levantamento. A narratologia, a semiótica literária e o modelo descritivo das modalidades de tradução de Francis Aubert fornecem os subsídios para abordar a questão da tradução do texto literário. Com base no cotejo entre os parágrafos iniciais das quarenta narrativas no texto-fonte e no texto-alvo, contempla-se a narração, ou ato de produção do discurso narrativo, a partir de três elementos do enunciado: pessoa, tempo e espaço, constatando-se alterações decorrentes do processo tradutório em alguns desses aspectos, as quais resultam em diferentes efeitos de sentido dos dois textos narrativos. A análise compreende ainda outros dois recortes, tendo como parâmetro leituras críticas da obra no idioma original: um deles... / Based on Gérard Genette!s concepts, this work focuses on the relationships between narration, discourse and diegesis in Tutaméia, by João Guimarães Rosa, and its German version. Our goal is to locate transformations generated by translation regarding those three narrative dimensions and their dynamics. Focusing mainly in the transposition into German of the original!s peculiar narrative syntax, our research discusses possible meaning effects that may have been lost in translation, or may have been created by the translation process. Narratology, literary semiotics and the descriptive model of translation modalities by Francis Aubert provide a base for approaching the matter of literary translation. Based on comparisons between the initial paragraphs of the forty narratives in the source-text and target-text, we contemplate narration – or the act of producing narrative discourse – from the point of view of three enunciation elements: person, time and space. Changes caused by the translation process in some of these elements result in different effects of meaning. Our analysis comprises two additional angles, having for reference critical readings of Rosa!s work in its original language: one angle focuses that work as a whole, having as a starting point its narratives and their effect as a unity; the other angle focuses on the narrative entitled “Curtamão” and its metalinguistic and metatextual qualities, verifying to which extent they can be found in the German translation. The results indicate that, even though the translation attempts to preserve the diegesis dimension and conquer the most challenging passages of this text characterized by transgression, it tends to fill the voids created by the unusual narrative discourse, especially referring to the use of verbal modes, suppressing almost entirely the effects...

Os textos selecionados compreendem os contos “Véra”, “L’Intersigne” e “Souvenirs occultes” que estão traduzidos para o português em duas edições (VILLIERS DE L’ISLE_ADAM, 1971, 1987) e cujas análises foram desenvolvidas na dissertação de mestrado – “O universo simbólico em Contes cruels de Villiers de l’Isle-Adam” (DOMINGOS, 2004); e, visando um dos objetivos específicos da tese, ou seja, a tradução de alguns textos da coletânea, em sua maioria inéditos em língua portuguesa, os contos: “Vox Populi”, “Fleurs de ténèbres”, “La Machine à Gloire”, “Sentimentalisme”, “A s’y méprendre” e “L’Inconnue”. A definição dos contos está, ainda, fundamentada nos pilares mais significativos da obra villieriana, a saber: a prosa poética, a narrativa fantástica e o discurso irônico. As análises efetuadas no decorrer desta pesquisa indicaram caminhos para refletir, no processo tradutório, sobre as especificidades dos procedimentos narrativos, discursivos e poéticos empregados pelo autor. Foi possível destacar procedimentos estilísticos riquíssimos do discurso villieriano que concernem, sobretudo, à concentração característica do conto e da prosa poética e à ironia. Foi importante que tais procedimentos tenham sido bem caracterizados visto que este estudo, ao debruçar-se sobre a tradução de um texto literário poético, apóia-se em pressupostos da teoria e crítica da tradução, bem como da crítica literária, que entendem que existem diferenças entre traduzir e interpretar, que o tradutor deve encontrar maneiras adequadas de traduzir, de modo a satisfazer os critérios de manutenção do efeito produzido pelo texto de partida, na língua de chegada... / The objective of this study is to present a critical translation of some short histories from the book Contes cruels (1883) by Villiers de l’Isle-Adam (1838-1889). The texts chosen are divided into two groups: the first is composed by the short histories “Véra”, “L’Intersigne” and “Souvenirs occultes”, translated into Portuguese in two editions (VILLIERS DE L’ISLE_ADAM, 1971, 1987) and whose analyses were developed in the Master Dissertation – “O universo simbólico em Contes cruels de Villiers de l’Isle-Adam” (DOMINGOS, 2004); the second group was chosen considering one of the specific objectives in this thesis, that is, the translation of some short stories that had never been translated into Portuguese: “Vox Populi”, “Fleurs de ténèbres”, “La Machine à Gloire”, “Sentimentalisme”, “A s’y méprendre” and “L’Inconnue”. In this research, the analyses pointed to ways of reflecting about the translation process which involves specific, discursive, poetic narrative procedures used by the author. It was possible to highlight some stylistic procedures found in Villiers’ discourse, which are extremely productive and are especially concerned with the condensed characteristic of the short story, its poetic prose and irony. It was very important to characterize those procedures because this study, devoted to the translation of a poetic literary text, is based on the assumptions of the translation theory and criticism, as well as on the literary criticism. These studies show differences between the act of translating and that of interpreting, and the translator should find adequate forms of translation as a way to fulfill the criterion that involves the production of the same effect, found in the departure text, in the target text. In general, the proposed critical edition is intended to present illuminating notes about... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

abstract: Every act of communication, and therefore, reading, are in themselves acts of translation and interpretation, as the reader creates a mental representation or reconstruction of the text, extrapolating meaning from it. Interlinguistic translation adds another dimension to these hermeneutic processes, and in the movement through space and time, constant re-interpretation, new translations, and, often, modern theories and perspectives, can interfere with or bring clarity to the meaning of the original text, as well as add to the myth-creation of the writers themselves. This study centers on some of the great literary figures in poetic and essayistic production in the world of Spanish-speaking letters: Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, José Martí, and Octavio Paz. These figures represent not only important literary movements going from the baroque to modernismo, to the vanguardia and to the creation of the self-conscious “modern” poet, but also are among the most well known Spanish-language writers in the English-speaking world. They are all self-aware creators, who, in distinct ways, join poetry, critical essays and theory that are at once an extension of and revolve around their personal poetics, projected toward the currents of their respective epochs. Finding problematic moments in translation theory and practice, and studying them in the context of the analysis of these great literary figures, at the same time contributes to a new understanding of translation theory itself. These ‘case studies’ expose certain key moments of existing translations, moments that later contribute to critical and interpretive dialogue in a type of hermeneutic spiral of influence. They also show the importance of translation as a contribution to cultural changes and literary movements. This ultimately aids in the understanding of the important points of contact between the many worlds occupied by these great writers and the ways in which they, and in turn, their translators, recreate the contexts in which they were produced. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Spanish 2016

Orientador: Cleide Antonia Rapucci / Banca: John Milton / Banca: Antonio Roberto Esteves / Resumo: O presente trabalho pretende fazer uma análise da tradução para o português de alguns contos da obra Bliss & other stories, de Katherine Mansfield, feita pelo escritor Érico Veríssimo. Propomos uma comparação da tradução com o texto de partida a fim de avaliar as soluções tradutórias encontradas na transmissão dos efeitos de sentido propostos pela autora e, por conseguinte, abordar o caráter tradutório do escritor, já que é um ramo de sua atividade profissional não difundido amiúde, embora tenha sido de extrema relevância para seus trabalhos literários posteriores. Assim, verificamos se o tradutor em questão teve o que Ohmann denomina "intuição estilística". Em uma primeira instância, apresentamos um levantamento das principais teorias acerca da tradução e da vertente desconstrutivista, de Jacques Derrida, na qual nos baseamos para a realização da apreciação das traduções. O estudo da relação entre Katherine Mansfield e Érico Veríssimo por meio da tradução aprimora a tradutologia, já que nos permite analisar a postura de um escritor/tradutor perante uma prosa poética. E, por fim, os contos representativos do estilo da escritora neozelandesa e as traduções destes, feitas por Érico Veríssimo, foram analisados a fim de formularmos as devidas conclusões. Para tanto, tomamos como base teórica a teoria desconstrutivista, bem como considerações realizadas por estudiosos da tradução, como Francis Henrik Aubert, José Paulo Paes, Haroldo de Campos, entre outros. / Abstract: The present work intends to analyze the translation into Portuguese of some of the short stories of Bliss & other stories, by Katherine Mansfield, done by the writer Érico Veríssimo. We propose a comparison of the translation with the source text in order to evaluate the solutions of translation found in the transmission of the sense effects proposed by the author and, consequently, to approach the writer's translator character , because it is a branch of his professional activity that isn't spread frequently, although it has been of extreme relevance to his subsequent literary works. So, we verified if the translator presents what Ohmann denominates "stylistic intuition". In a first instance, we presented a survey of the main theories concerning translation and the deconstructionist theory of Jacques Derrida, on which we were based for the accomplishment of the appreciation of the translations. The study of the relationship between Katherine Mansfield and Érico Veríssimo through the translation perfects translation studies, since it allows analyzing the posture of a writer/translator before a poetic prose. And, finally, the New Zealand writer's short stories and their translations, done by Érico Veríssimo, were analyzed in order to formulate the due conclusions. We took as theoretical base the deconstructionist theory, as well as considerations from specialists in translation studies, such as Francis Henrik Aubert, José Paulo Paes, Haroldo of Campos, and others. / Mestre
