Entre letras e lutas: investigando a tradução feminista na formação da tradutora brasileira

Abstract

This is my master’s dissertation, presented to the Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos Linguísticos of the Instituto de Letras e Linguística of the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. This research aimed to analyze 15 Capstone Projects about Feminist Translation. The theoretical base is supported by the presentation of the Feminist Studies, by introducing the movement in general lines; the Feminist Translation, with a brief contextualization of the organization and current aspects of the field; and the Translation Studies, situating the research within the broader field. The methodology combines a survey conducted through bibliometric procedures (Vanti, 2002; Esqueda, 2020) and Content Analysis (Bardin, 2011) for evaluating the selected works. This study is justified by the need to expand and legitimize Feminist Translation in Brazil, highlighting undergraduate studies as a fertile ground for research in this field. Among the findings, the research identifies the Universidade de Brasília as a prominent center for Feminist Translation studies, with the two most frequent advisors in the analyzed corpus. I have also noticed a strong connection with Commented Translation and the Functionalist Theory. I have concluded that there should be a consensus on the name of the field of Feminist Translation. Furthermore, the growing interest in the subject suggests the potential for new research that explores other areas of knowledge within Translation Studies, fosters interdisciplinary approaches, and ventures beyond the conventional methods and dynamics commonly observed in the field.
