This article is part of the field of Deaf Literature in its interface with Translation Studies and Cultural Studies. In this work we present an analysis of the translation (Portuguese/Libras) of the literary short story “O sanduíche da Maricota” by Avelino Guedes. Our aim is to analyze the translation of the short story, comparing it to a new translation developed by us, a proposal that considers the strategies of an intermodal and intercultural translation. In this qualitative and descriptive research, we used the case study procedure. Regarding the theoretical assumptions, we used the concepts of Deaf Literature presented by Karnopp, Sutton-Spence and Silveira, and we worked with the theoretical contributions of Intermodal and Intercultural Translation brought by Segala and Valente. There is little research on literary translation in Libras. Thus, more discussion about the existing works is needed, so that we can think of new strategies for the production of new knowledge about the literary translation process for the deaf. The contribution of this article is to share knowledge about intermodal and intercultural translation for the deaf, as well as collaborating with the qualification process of the translation professionals focused on the literary field.
