Translating Documentaries From a Transnational Feminist Perspective: A Case Study of Subtitled Brazilian Documentaries on Waste Picking
Subtitling and audiovisual translation (AVT) in general, as language practices, play a crucial role in shaping social imaginary and contributing to the construction of identities. But far too little attention has been paid to the translation of documentaries, especially those produced in the so-called “global” South and translated into other languages, such as English. Therefore, this paper aims to gain a further understanding of translating docu…

Translating iconicities of classical Chinese poetry
In the history of translating classical Chinese poetry, there are two kinds of translators. The first kind translate classical Chinese poetry "by way of intellectual, directional devices" (Yip, Wai-lim. 1969. Ezra Pound's Cathay. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press: 16). What these translators are concerned with most is the coherence of their translations. They give little attention to the ideogrammic nature of Chinese characters. I call th…

Metramorphosis in Translation: Refiguring the Intimacy of Translation beyond the Metaphysics of Loss
Thinking about the intimacy that translation demands and creates, and the limits of this intimacy, we explore Bracha L. Ettinger’s concept of metramorphosis to propose a paradigmatic feminist refiguring of translation that recognizes and validates alternative modalities of contact and interrelation. Here “Several comes before the One,” and translation is the place where we all come from, the place where we start together, in a relationship of int…
From Quebec to Brazil: Translation as a fruitful dialogue between “américanité” and “americanidade”
"Américanité," as a concept developed and refined by literary scholars to address a certain Québécois interest in writing and film, is paralleled here by the Brazilian concept "americanidade." Both evoke the "americanness" of contemporary writing in the Americas, and imply a turning away from European models and requirements toward a hybridization and a focus on movement, inter-relations, trans-cultural contacts. Translation, by definition a tran…
