Elementos da tradução para o português do conto "Eveline" realizada por Caetano W. Galindo

Abstract

The aim of our work is to present a close reading of the Brazilian Portuguesetranslation done by Caetano Waldrigues Galindo of James Joyce's short story"Eveline", based on Antoine Berman's study "The Trials of the Foreign", regardingwhat he sees as a system of tendencies that deform foreign literary texts when theyare subjected to the practice of translation. After a brief introduction to the life andwork of James Joyce and to Berman’s theory, we selected excerpts from the shortstory and commented on their translation from the perspective of the deformationslisted by the theorist, such as “clarification”, “ennoblement”, “qualitativeimpoverishment” and “destruction of rhythms”. We note that understanding andstudying the deformations proposed by the French theorist deepens the generalperception of literary translation professionals and scholars, even when there is no individual application of specific deformations
