Despite its relevance within the canon of the French cultural and literary system, Georges Perec’s work, in the Portuguese language system and other languages, may have been seen as elitist, due to its experimental texts, or rather, the potentials of post-vanguardists, such as the memorabilia Je me souviens: Les choses communes I. By proposing the translation into Brazilian Portuguese titled Me Lembro: As coisas comuns I, some strategies are considered to capture the essence of his reminiscences, as well as to transmit the nostalgic and fragmented atmosphere of the original. Some processes are used to familiarize the reader with the peculiarities of the writing, while, at the same time, unveiling the Oulipian contraintes: thereby, a journey through Perec’s 480 memories is made possible. To study the process of this translation, it is particularly employed the concepts of rhizome, cartography, and assemblage, presented by the French Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in their work A Thousand Plateaus, as a possible method of mapping the chosen route. It is understood that translation can be seen as a rhizome because it involves the decentralized interconnection of different elements, the multiplicity of possible paths and interpretations, and the creation of a complex fabric of meanings. From this perspective, cartography can be employed to comprehend the dynamic and non-linear nature of translation, and in this research, the process of assemblage, the translation process carried out. In this conceptual map, which represents the different dimensions and relationships involved in the translation process: the assemblages of translation is identified in the location of the elements and actors involved in the translation process; rhizomes and lines of escape are mapped in the translation through the schematization of relations and connections between flows of meaning, cultural influences, and interactions between terms of the source and target languages; multiplicities are explored based on the different singularities and becomings present in the translation; deviations and ruptures are analyzed by scrutinizing the adaptations and choices made; and territories are contextualized through the examination of historical, social, and political factors that may influence the translation process and the results of the translation-product. In short, a critical analysis of the translation is carried out through a cartographic journey.

This work was developed within the Translation research scope and Sociodiscursive Practices of the Graduate Program in Translation Studies at the University of Brasília (POSTRAD/UnB). Its object of study is the terms of the content of Defensive Driving (DD), one of the theoretical requirements for obtaining the National Driver's License (CNH), aiming at the suggestion of a bilingual glossary in the Portuguese Language and Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) pair. The target audience is candidates for Deaf drivers, as well as translators, interpreters, teachers, and other interested people in the area. The specific objectives of the research lie in: i) carrying out a bibliographical research on the Traffic Legislation in order to trace the trajectory of the Deaf citizen's right to drive; ii) survey how information is presented on the Brazilian Traffic Departments websites , seeking accessibility for the Deaf public, and whether there is bilingual material to promote access; and iii) highlight the process stages for obtaining a driver's license in the Federal District (DF) focusing on the theoretical-technical course content, demonstrating the importance of DD in everyday traffic. The theoretical foundation was divided into five topics, which address: translation and the Brazilian Sign Language: a look of struggle!; Translation Studies and Terminology: historical aspects; Libras Terminology: brief postgraduate research; bilingual glossary: concept and structure of a terminographic work focused on Libras; Corpus Linguistics (CL) as a facilitator and ratifier in the extraction of terms. The methodological path that defines the scope of the glossary was divided into four stages: i) identification of the object of study and target audience; ii) selection of terms in Portuguese based on the LC using the AntConc tool; iii) informants selection, through the application of questionnaires with DETRAN's and qualified Deaf people, in addition to identifying terms in media materials; and iv) preparation and organization of terminology sheets (FT) in Portuguese and Libras. In response to the collection, 145 candidate terms were located, and 10 terms were selected to suggest a pilot project macro and microstructure for a bilingual glossary. This research does not address the creation of term signals. These term-signals come from the informants. This study is part of a project that is underway at DETRAN/DF called “Libras no Trânsito”. It is expected that this proposal will provide support for the preparation of teaching materials suitable for the Deaf public. Thus, we highlight the importance of using visual resources in Libras and written Portuguese as a second language, to promote the effective training of this driver. Finally, improvements are sought for the Deaf linguistic accessibility in the environment of the Department of Transit of the Federal District, in addition to encouraging new research in the area.

This work is part of the research line Translation and Sociodiscursive Practices, developed in the Postgraduate Program in Translation Studies - POSTRAD and in the Laboratory of Technology for the Studies of Translation and Interpretation of Sign Languages in Brazil and the World - LabTecTrad. The object of study is Automatic Translators. The general objective is to analyze the translation processes carried by Automatic Translators for Brazilian Sign Language - Portuguese. The target audience for this research are translators who use these technologies as work tools. Therefore, it has the following specific objectives: i) to present a brief history of machine translators that use the language pair sign language and Portuguese; ii) search for government sites and institutions that use automatic translators in Sign Language; iii) interview the group that study, organize and create automatic translators and find out how many deaf people participate in these teams and iv) investigate their strengths and weaknesses in the construction of meaning in PL. The main motivation for carrying out this research came after i’m joined as a professor at the Federal Institute of Brasília - IFB, where courses are offered in Initial and Continuing Training - FIC, Technical and Higher Undergraduate and Postgraduate. All courses are free and open to the community in general and the call uses automatic translators as a form of linguistic accessibility. As a way of understanding this functioning, it was necessary to adopt the methodological path of Tuxi (2017) where we initially made the following path: i. organize a translation project; collect translations from machine translators; analyze the translations made by them and propose a translation. As a result, it was possible from the contrast performed, to propose a translation that we present in the form of QRCode and that we believe that in the future it can be inserted in the website of the Federal Institute of Brasília - IFB. This work joins the others in the field of Sign Language Translation Studies and hopes to reinforce the area.

The constant changes in human migration flows bring to the forefront of discussion how to safeguard fundamental rights enshrined in international treaties and domestic legislations, such as an individual's linguistic rights. Such a right aims to ensure that people with little or no proficiency in a country's official language can access essential services through professional interpreting provided by a "community interpreter". Among those who are prevented from accessing social services due to little language proficiency are the refugees who, apart from being particularly vulnerable, are unable to communicate with service providers because they speak a language other than that spoken by the agencies whose services they seek. Faced with such a challenge, it is necessary to implement language assistance policies that could be translated into an integrated interpreter's training, certification, and accreditation system. Even though few countries provide specialized interpreting training, most of those that do have some type of training framework depend on manuals and ethical codes written without due consideration of linguistic studies or specialized reflections on the nature of translation and interpretation. Against such a backdrop, this research aims to look into some of such materials-manuals, guides, and codes of ethics - written in English, in order to identify how language, translation, and interpretation concepts are understood and portrayed. Based on the results derived from such a linguistic analysis, we aimed at reflecting on the training of community interpreters in refugee and migration contexts. In order to understand how interpreter-mediated interactions unfold, we adopted the theoretical and methodological framework of Interactional Sociolinguistics, which focus on the verbal interaction dynamics and on the agency of all participants, including that of the mediators themselves. The data were collected and analyzed drawing on corpus-based discourse analysis concepts, which enabled us to identify idealized and impractical understandings of the translation activity and the interpreter's role. Such understandings were linguistically translated into the use of words, among others, such as "neutrality", "impartiality" and "accuracy". Even though some of the materials were written in countries that have a history of hosting immigrants and of implementing language assistance services, they convey limited and essentialist concepts of the translation activity, taking it to be a transparent and invisible procedure. Against such concepts, we propose a preliminary reflection of interpreter training based on the dialogical and situated interaction and on the interpreter's agency, a protagonist of undeniably imbalanced human interactions.

This research, in the field of Translation Studies, is based on Walter Benjamin’s work, especially regarding his thoughts expressed in “The Translator’s Task”, to examine the interface between Translation and Law, shedding light on the significance of translators in the exchange of ideas from one country to another, i.e., in the task of transforming cultures and languages, not carrying messages. As experience should occur ahead of theories (MESCHONNIC, 2010), the starting point of this research was a translation, from English into Portuguese, of the original (BENJAMIN, 2008): the lead opinion of the majority written by Justice Neil M. Gorsuch in the Ramos v. Louisiana case, argued before the Supreme Court of the United States in 2020. In that opportunity, the Court adopted a meaningful rationale by discussing the possibility of overturning the Apodaca v. Oregon precedent and explaining the racist origins of Louisiana’s and Oregon’s laws. As a result, it ruled that the US Constitution requires unanimous verdicts to convict defendants of serious offenses. Given that, there are some pragmatic reasons why the original could lead to a transformation – in accordance with Walter Benjamin, his followers and their shared epistemology – in the target culture. First, it highlights the complementarity in languages (BENJAMIN, 2008), as this research revealed a possible enrichment of the Portuguese language in the process of language relations. Second, it lays down the unanimity requirement, an important concept to the Brazilian rules of criminal procedure once jurors recover their legal right to openly deliberate within a jury trial. Third, it goes back in history to the roots of Oregon’s and Louisiana’s laws, which could foster social awareness on the issue of racism in Brazil. The findings of this research indicate that by accepting strangeness, rather than erasing it, the opinion delivered by Justice Neil M. Gorsuch in the source culture could eventually transform the Brazilian context, not only in terms of the country’s language, but also concerning its culture, which goes beyond the legal area.

This research was developed in the research line Translation and Sociodiscursive Practices, of the Graduate Program in Translation Studies – POSTRAD at the University of Brasília. The object of study are the signals used in sporting events such as Deaflympics events. In this sense, this work has the general objective of organizing a multilingual glossary as a tool for deaf translators and interpreters who work in sporting events such as Deaflympics. To achieve this objective, we proposed the following specific objectives: i. Investigate the role of translator and interpreter of Libras and IntSL (intramodal and interlingual interpretation) in Brazil and in the international context at the Deaflympics 2022 event; ii. Describe the history of national and international deaf sport over time until reaching the Deaflympics 2022 and iii. Identify the way of registering Terminologies in a multilingual glossary through international and national research on sporting events. As a theoretical basis, we used for research on translators and interpreters for deaf and non-deaf people: Pinheiro (2022), Granado (2019) and Nogueira (2016), specific in the areas of study of translation and interpretation, knowledge about simultaneous and consecutive interpretation, intramodal and intermodal, on theorists of Libras and International Sign Language (IntSL), thermology and glossary for sporting events. The methodological proposal follows the model of Tuxi (2017), that is, it presents a macrostructure and microstructure of the term signs based on the organization of terminological sheets in English, IntSL, Portuguese, Libras and Illustration, with specialization of the term signs used in the 24th Deaflympics. In the current glossary there are a total of 21 signs of sports and 85 signs of services, in addition to including videos of the use of QR codes as a tool in the multilingual Glossary of term signs by Deaflympics

This master's dissertation aims to analyze the development of translation competence, more specifically the thematic ability/terminological knowledge of translation learners in the Bachelor of Letters in English Translation at the University of Brasilia. Therefore, our proposal is to evaluate the text of the students of English-Portuguese Translation Practice: Technical and Scientific Texts, and the application of a questionnaire and a translation activity and use the mentioned text of the students to compose collecting data for analysis. The research aims to guide students to make proper use of terminology tools, thinking about their relevance, expectations and challenges in understanding and translating texts, using strategies to solve problems and support tools. The work is also concerned to demonstrate how the translation activity, mediated by the professor, can be favorable to the development of criticism and new translation practices, realizing that the use of terminological tools are important resources that help the translator to carry out his tasks with ease, more efficiency, agility, and confidence, using the target language clearly and precisely. The research makes it possible to identify the difficulties faced by the students in matters related to the textual production of specialized knowledge and makes it possible to analyze the positive and negative points, regarding the methodology used in the classroom in the textual production and allows changing methods to solve negative points and the production of other actions to improve the conduct of discipline. The dissertation used the quali-quantitative method to analyze the texts of a group of students of bachelor of Translation English course at the University of Brasilia. The students were invited to take part in the research by carrying out a translation activity and answering a questionnaire with questions on the following subjects: 1) How do you evaluate the choice of the text presented in terms of the subject and the textual genre of the report 2) How do you evaluate its methodology, 3) What were the challenges and difficulties during the translation of the presented text 4) What were the expectations when identifying and learning new translation strategies, 5) What strategies were used to prepare the target text. The proposal was to present the work to the students and explain the translation activity, presenting some free support platforms to assist in the activity. Students were instructed to translate the first five pages of the text Valuing Water, made available by UNESCO. The activity was evaluated and was mandatory. The chosen activity made it possible to assess the translation capacity of each student, realizing the adaptation skills needed to perform the task. Research participants were guaranteed anonymity in their responses. This dissertation consists in introduction, which presents the theme, objectives, and justification of this investigation. In chapter 1, we describe how teaching and learning process works. In chapter 2, we discuss the concepts of technical and scientific translation, the role of the technical and scientific translator, the translator and the use of technological resources, and the relationship between translation and terminology. In Chapter 3, we present the methodology for applying the Didactic Unit and in Chapter 4, we analyze the collected data and discuss the research results. Finally, we present the final considerations and bibliographical references.

The theme of this dissertation falls within the line of research Translation and Sociodiscursive Practices, developed in the Translation Studies Program - POSTRAD, at the University of Brasília. The object of study are the terms and term signs from the area of History used in bilingual assessment processes (Portuguese-Libras), with the aim of proposing a bilingual glossary of the Portuguese – Libras language pair. To this end, we have the following specific objectives: i. describe the teaching of History to the Deaf; ii. identify the processes and theories used to organize glossaries in sign language and iii. Analyze how the term signs are registered in translation based on semantic studies. To achieve the objectives, the methodological path collected terms and term signs from the ENEM tests (National High School Exam) and the bilingual entrance exams at UFSC (Federal University of Santa Catarina), both from the years 2017, 2018 and 2019, both in written Portuguese and in Libras through Videoproof. Thus, starting from the search for the most used terms in the Portuguese test, we looked for the term signs translated in the Libras video tests. To catalog the most frequent terms and term signs in the database (written tests and Video tests), an inventory of the lexicon of the History area was created using knowledge and experience as a bilingual teacher, manually. We used resources that corpus linguistics offers, such as the Antconc program, with terms in Portuguese, to provide a basis and security in the survey. The entire work was theoretically based on the Communicative Theory of Terminology (TCT) by Maria Tereza Cabré (1995) and also Socioterminology based on Faulstich (2006). The analysis of terms and term signs in the History area sought the principles of bilingual Terminology (TUXI, 2017) for better conceptualization and clarity when translating this linguistic pair (Portuguese/Libras), as well as in bilingual History teaching ( with an educational interpreter or bilingual teacher), examining some linguistic variations and lexical ambiguities found in the research. Finally, using the terms and term signs collected, a bilingual Portuguese/Libras de História glossary was created, launched on an online platform (website: https://glossariohistoria-libras.fly.dev/), with the aim of and as specific objectives of providing new information, generating and producing knowledge that brings improvements to the area of translation and teaching sign language.

This dissertation aimed to publicize the importance of tactile Libras in the process of translating and interpreting country music to analyze the perception of Deafblind people. During the Covid-19 pandemic period, we had some lives by country singers and among these lives, the singer Marília Mendonca was a pioneer in providing the translation into Libras of her country songs through the presence of Libras Translators and Interpreters. Given this repercussion, we thought about what translation and interpretation into tactile Libras would be like to provide cultural accessibility for the Deafblind and we have the possibility of recording their perceptions. We observed that, despite some initiatives in country music, in relation to the translation process, Surdocego does not yet have effective accessibility in tactile Libras and, therefore, it is necessary to provide new research and more studies with translations in tactile Libras, so that the Deafblind Community has access to information from this form of communication. Therefore, we seek to disseminate tactile Libras in a technical way so that Deafblind people have access to country music, as well as linguistic accessibility and guaranteed access to culture and leisure. Furthermore, the work presents the different characteristics that we can find in the world of Deafblindness and increasingly provide cultural accessibility for this segment.

Although Dom Quixote, by Miguel de Cervantes, written in the 17th century, was quickly translated into many languages, the first authorial translation into European Portuguese, the Monumental Edition carried out by Cia Literária do Porto, only occurred in the 19th century. Monteiro Lobato based his Don Quixote das Crianças on it, in the early 20th century, bringing the character to the Brazilian children's universe. This work was translated twice into Buenos Aires Spanish. The main objective of this work is to reconstruct the paths and strategies used by authors/translators in the works that make up the corpus of this investigation. The research is structured into three blocks that address, firstly, the subsidies necessary for its complete understanding. Among them there are the theoretical subsidies from Translation Studies such as the Polysystem Theory, developed by Itamar Even-Zohar, and Descriptive Translation Studies, represented by Gideon Toury. Literary subsides are also included, introducing Miguel de Cervantes and Dom Quixote de la Mancha, as well as the Monumental Edition and its translators: Viscount of Castilho, Viscount of Azevedo and Pinheiro Chagas. The second block deals with the social and political contexts in which the work was written and translated, introducing the author, translator, and editor Monteiro Lobato, the work under study, as well as its translators into Buenos Aires Spanish: Benjamín de Garay and M. J. de Sosa. The third and final block uses the translation analysis outline developed by Antoine Berman, combined with the analysis and description model of translations created by Lambert and Van Gorp, with the aim of identifying the position occupied by the works that make up the corpus of the research in the Brazilian and Argentine literary systems in the early 20th century. Understanding Monteiro Lobato's literary and translational thinking, as well as his translators’ ones, and the context in which Children's Don Quixote was produced and translated aims to contribute to the history of translation in Brazil, understand the conception at the time of the translator's role and the role of translated literature in shaping of Brazilian and Argentine literary systems. Furthermore, it highlights the relevance of Monteiro Lobato, not only as an author but also as a translator, editor, and promoter of Brazilian literature abroad.

The theme of this dissertation is part of the research line of Translation and Sociodiscursive Practices, developed in the Postgraduate Program in Translation Studies at the University of Brasília (POSTRAD/UnB). The object of study are the Regulatory and Warning Traffic Signs that are taught the theoretical-technical course as a prerequisite for obtaining the National Driver's License (CNH), popularly called Driver's License, with the aim of translate into Brazilian Sign Language - Libras the meaning and definition of these signs that are used nationwide in the daily life of the Deaf driver. The target audience of this research are Deaf candidates who participate in the CNH acquisition process in the Federal District, or Deaf people already qualified, as well as Sign Language Translators and Interpreters (TILS), traffic teachers and others interested in this topic. . To achieve our objective, this research aims to: i) identify the structure of the Traffic Department of the Federal District (DETRAN/DF) for the Deaf to participate in the stages of the qualification process; ii) search for teaching materials in Sign Language to obtain a CNH in Brazil; identify the translation processes that involve intersemiotics into Sign Language. In order to achieve our objectives, we divided the methodological course into the following steps: i) Approach and nature of the research; ii) Definition of the objective, target audience and constitution of the corpus; iii) Collection of image material from the plates; iii) Organization and elaboration of terminology sheets supported by the methodology of Tuxi (2017), also using QR Code technology to view the videos, facilitating the interaction of the Deaf with the translation of the plates. Finally, we suggest a macro and microstructure of a glossary based on the terminographic sheets and the translation of items from the simulated theoretical test of DETRAN/DF, addressing the content of plates, as a way of validating the research carried out. We hope that this work will expand the Terminology research space in the Studies of Translation and Interpretation of Sign Languages, in addition to encouraging new discussions and deepening studies in DETRAN's for the creation of accessible teaching materials used in the formation of the Deaf conductor.

The present research presents a translation of a chapter extracted from the novel Humus, published in 2006, by the novelist Fabienne Kanor. In view of the author's work, which is still little read and its translation in the French language degree courses, this dissertation was outlined from the presentation of a novelist novel. We start from the understanding that the process of translation, mainly of black literary texts, black thought, black essay texts by Guellwar Adún requires more than rhetorical eloquence and/or technical acuity. Request a write-up. Therefore, we chose to be guided by the writer and essayist Conceição Evaristo's notion of writing, for aligning with our demands and ours. As de Carrascosa (2017), Édouard Glissant (2021), Paul Gilroy (2001), Souza (2018), Souza (2017), Silva-Reis; Araujo (2017), Vanessa Massoni (2020) were fundamental to

add discussions to our translation. In addition, we start from a black epistemology and methodology and a place of black, decolonial and anti-racist enunciation for the translation of this narrative of black authorship. Finally, it was possible to write literary works of French expression and this reverberates in the African-American.

The present work presents a theoretical study that aims to render problematic the concept of quality in translation in Juliane House. Its realization followed the principles of comparative conceptual research, centered on the comparison between the concept of quality used by Juliane House in her model of quality assessment in translation (HOUSE, 2015) and the precepts of the main concepts of quality practiced in the discipline Quality Management of the Administration Rank. The results obtained indicate that for House “quality means equivalence and equivalence means quality”. The concept of quality retained by the author is limited to the linguistic aspect of the translation, based on the concept of linguistic equivalence, focusing on the product and executed a posteriori, after the end of the translation process; these characteristics are fully opposed to the global, broad and anticipatory concept as practiced within the scope of the Quality Management discipline. The methodology followed was based on the comparative method and the analysis of concepts.

The aim of this study is to investigate which strategies the sworn interpreter in Suriname uses when performing his work. In Suriname, the Code of Criminal Procedure states that a sworn interpreter must be present during the interrogation of a foreigner at a police station, criminal and civil hearing, at the notary and also during the solemnization of a marriage, but there are no guidelines or protocols to help the professional to carry out his work. This brings us to the interpreter's work as a language and culture mediator, as well as how he thinks he should fulfil his role as an interpreter. Since the presence of the interpreter is essential, it means that he is an important link during the communication process with the foreigner who is in Suriname and for this reason we thought it was important to make an analysis about the way in which the interpreters who are working with the Dutch and Portuguese languages have performed their work so far and for this it is important for us to know what skills the interpreter has. In Suriname the sworn interpreter does not work only in the legal area, but since his work shows many similarities with that of the forensic interpreter, the professional who performs work at the court hearing and in judicial spaces, we have sought support with the theory of Hale (2004) but also with other authors such as Nordin and de Almeida (2017), Lebese (2013), and Gonzalez et al. (1991). In order to carry out this study, a qualitative research was carried out among the small group of interpreters who work with the Dutch and Portuguese languages in order to find out which strategies they apply while working as well as with the parties who have to make use of the work of these professionals. From this analysis we have been able to identify that the sworn interpreter works according to his own intuition and competences. Finally, we proposed a protocol for interpreting based on Codes of Ethics used by the Professional Association of Conference Interpreters in Brazil (APIC) and the Code of Ethics and Conduct of the Australian Institute of Translators and Interpreters (AUSIT). The proposed protocol can serve as a guideline for the interpreters who have been working in this field for some time so that they can continue their work in a uniform manner, as well as for the new generation of interpreters so that they can already start their work in a uniform way.
