Resumo: The publication of translations of postcolonial literary works is increasingly gaining space in the Brazilian publishing market. In this article, the articulation between Translation Studies and Postcolonial Studies is sought through the analysis of the post-colonial novel Half a Life, by V.S. Naipaul, and its translation to Brazilian Portuguese, entitled Meia Vida. Discussions of ideological aspects in the translation of postcolonial texts and the very choice of what is translated and by whom are questions raised by the text, as well as the challenges of translating postcolonial literary texts. Finally, it is discussed how the postcolonial discourse of the original work is transmitted through translation, ascertaining possible suppression or maintenance of the postcolonial tone of the original work in the translated work.

Nesse artigo, busca-se a articulação entre os Estudos da Tradução e os Estudos Pós-Coloniais por meio da análise do romance pós-colonial Half a Life, de V.S. Naipaul e a sua tradução para o português, intitulada Meia Vida. Discussões de aspectos ideológicos na tradução de textos pós-coloniais e a própria escolha do que é traduzido e por quem são questões levantadas pelo texto, bem como os desafios de se traduzir textos literários pós-coloniais. Por fim, discute-se de que maneira o discurso pós-colonial da obra original é transmitido por meio da tradução, averiguando possíveis supressões ou manutenções do tom pós-colonial da obra originária na obra traduzida. UFSC2019-05-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2019v72n2p30110.5007/2175-8026.2019v72n2p301Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 72 No. 2 (2019): Literature and Translation; 301-320Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 72 n. 2 (2019): Literature and Translation; 301-3202175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2019v72n2p301/40171Copyright (c) 2019 Mirian Ruffini, Gabriel Both Borellainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRuffini, MirianBorella, Gabriel Both2019-08-15T14:04:07Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/59845Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2019-08-15T14:04:07Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
