TRADUÇÃO COMENTADA DO CONTO MY PURPLE SCENTED NOVEL, DE IAN McEWAN

Abstract

This work consists of a commented translation, from English into Brazilian Portuguese, of the short story My Purple Scented Novel (2016), by the British author Ian McEwan. Based on the concepts of foreignization and domestication proposed by Schleiermacher (2007) and Venuti (1995), we present the translation project that based our decisions during the production of the translated text. In addition, we make comments about some of the linguistic and cultural elements of the source text that we consider as being critical for the elaboration of a translation that preserves traces of the foreign nature of the original story. This research aims at contributing to Translation Studies as it presents a discussion on theoretical and practical aspects involved in the translation of a literary text.
