Les équivalences traductionnelles extraites à partir d’un corpus parallèle deviendraient une ressource précieuse permettant d’étudier différents contextes traductionnels envisagés entre les deux langues distinctes. L’utilisation des textes traductionnels constitue aujourd’hui un thème essentiel en traductologie et en études contrastives des langues. Les méthodes textométriques opèrent une série de calculs statistiques portant sur les unités textuelles dans un corpus parallèle segmenté en occurrences. Elles fournissent les indices quantitatifs permettant de mettre en évidence le lien traductionnel de ces unités. En examinant des formes bilingues issues des corpus parallèles français-coréens, nous avons vérifié l’utilité de cette méthodologie appliquée aux textes traductionnels en français-coréen. Elles ont effectivement donné un résultat positif, d’une part, et un résultat négatif, d’autre part, tout au long de nos travaux. Pourtant, grâce à ces méthodes, nous avons pu étudier divers liens traductionnels entre unités textuelles du français et du coréen. La plupart de méthodes automatisées consacrées au corpus parallèle en langues hétérogènes n’ont pas produit de résultat acceptable. À ce titre, la textométrie, qui vise à l’observation quantitative des éléments lexicaux d’un corpus, serait très intéressante lorsqu’il s’agit notamment d’un corpus parallèle en langues sans parenté. / The translational equivalences extracted from a parallel corpus become a valuable resource enable to study the various translational contexts between the two distinct languages. The use of translational texts is now a principal subject in the translation studies and the contrastive studies of languages. The textometry operate a set of statistical calculations on the textual units in a parallel corpus divided into the tokens. They provide the quantitative evidence that verify the translational relation of the linguistic units. In exploring bilingual words in the French-Korean parallel corpora, we verified the usefulness of this methodology applied to the French-Korean translational texts. They produced actually a positive result, on the one hand, and a negative result, on the other hand, throughout our work. Yet, these methods made also observe the various translational relations of textual units between French and Korean. The most automated methods devoted to the parallel corpora of heterogeneous language pairs have not produced the approvable result. For the reason, the textometry, which aims to observe the lexical elements of a corpus from a statistical point of view, would be very practical method when we deal with a parallel corpus that consists of different language pairs.

[pt] Esta dissertação de mestrado investiga um corpus de dez antologias de literatura coreana traduzida, publicado no Brasil entre 1985 e 2022. Foi observada a prática de antologização da literatura coreana traduzida no Brasil, com intuito de verificar a criação de imagens resultantes dos critérios de seleção, tradução e apresentação dessa literatura com base na análise de seus paratextos, evidenciando-se a atuação dos agentes de reescrita. A fundamentação teórica utilizada é oriunda dos Estudos da Tradução, especialmente os campos dos Estudos Descritivos da Tradução (DTS) e da Sociologia da Tradução, e da Teoria do Paratexto. Verificou-se, com base no corpus, que o ato de antologizar divide-se em três atitudes: (1) construir, na qual estão em evidência os critérios de seleção dos textos e o contexto de publicação das obras; (2) desenhar, em que é verificado como o paratexto visual comunica visualmente os projetos editorial e tradutório das antologias; e (3) enquadrar, na qual, por meio dos prefácios, foram identificadas as estratégias de produção de discursos acerca da literatura coreana. No exame dos prefácios, os agentes destacados foram os tradutores, colaboradores e autoridades da cultura de chegada, que assumem, a partir de seu lugar de produção de discurso, um papel fundamental na inserção da literatura coreana no Brasil. Nas décadas de 1980 a 2000, observou-se uma contribuição central dos agentes na publicação dessa literatura, por meio das antologias dedicadas a diferentes autores e correntes literárias. Da década de 2010 em diante, as antologias alinharam-se às tendências editoriais atuais em diálogo com a crescente apreciação de produtos culturais coreanos no Brasil. / [en] This Master s thesis proposes the investigation of a corpus of ten anthologies of translated Korean literature published in Brazil between 1985 and 2022. The practice of anthologizing Korean literature translated in Brazil was observed in order to verify the creation of images resulting from the criteria for selecting, translating and presenting this literature, based on an analysis of its paratexts, highlighting the actions of the agents of rewriting. The theoretical basis used comes from Translation Studies, especially the fields of Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS) and the Sociology of Translation, and from Paratext Theory. Based on the corpus, it was verified that the act of anthologizing is divided into three attitudes: (1) constructing, in which the criteria for selecting the texts and the context in which the works were published are underlined; (2) designing, in which it is verified how the visual paratext communicates the editorial and translation projects of the anthologies; and (3) framing, in which, through the prefaces, the strategies for producing discourses about Korean literature were identified. In examining the prefaces, the agents highlighted were translators, collaborators and authorities from the target culture, who assume, from their place of discourse production, a fundamental role in the insertion of Korean literature in Brazil. From the 1980s to the 2000s, agents made a central contribution to the publication of this literature through anthologies dedicated to different authors and literary currents. From the 2010s onwards, the anthologies have aligned with current publishing trends in parallel with the growing appreciation of Korean cultural products in Brazil.
