Da contemporaneidade, do pós-colonial e da tradução: sobrevivências

Abstract

This work proposes a theoretical analysis on the concepts of contemporaneity, post-modern and postcolonial and how they impact the Translation Studies, taking into account the role of the translator and translation in contemporary world. Under the theoretical framework proposed by Derrida (1973), Gentzler (2008), Agamben (2009), Arrojo (1992, 1996, 1998), Bhabha (1998), Alvarez (2014), Costa (2014), among others, this paper reaffirms the need for intercessors when it comes to understanding the economic, cultural , social and political phenomena generated by past surviving traces concerning their impacts on contemporary time. Facing translation from this perspective may also contribute to a new look at the Translation Studies, in addition to construct a new way of reading the world.
