ESTUDOS DA TRADUÇÃO NO BRASIL: uma análise bibliométrica do referencial teórico em dissertações na PGET/UFSC

Abstract

Translation Studies in Brazil have been seeking institutionalization since the second half of the 20th century. With the development of factors that have driven the growth of this field of study, we have arrived at a moment of introspection within the area, a movement termed "metaturn" by Echeverri (2017). Therefore, this study aims to conduct a quantitative-qualitative bibliometric analysis of the theoretical framework of the theses from the Graduate Program in Translation Studies at the Federal University of Santa Catarina from 2013 to September 2023, identifying the main referenced authors and their theoretical profile in relation to the research conducted in the program. Additionally, the study compares this data with the theoretical framework of theses from the University of Brasília, as surveyed by Pereira (2024). To conduct this analysis, a survey of the reference corpus of the program's thesis was carried out in the institutional repository of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. In total, data from 230 thesis were collected, totaling 18.008 references, with an average of 80 references per thesis. The data were stored in an online spreadsheet. The analysis of the program's data indicates a phase of autonomy within the field of study, where the majority of the theoretical framework belongs to authors directly related to Translation Studies. Finally, it is believed that the data collected in this research will serve for future studies seeking to analyze how Translation Studies has been consolidated in Brazil.
