Análise das redes de significantes no conto "Amor", de Clarice Lispector, e na recriação para o inglês "Love", de Giovanni Pontiero

Abstract

The signifiers of a literary text relate to and complete each other, creating networks. In the short story "Amor" (1960), by Clarice Lispector, it is possible to map several of these networks that directly impact the meanings built throughout the text. This work presents reflections on the networks of signifiers found in Giovanni Pontiero's translation of Lispector’s short story, “Love” (1972). The main goal is to discuss how the translator recreated these signifiers in English. The networks of signifiers identified in Lispector’s short story and Pontiero’s choices in regard to breaking some of these networks and reinstating others are described and analyzed.
