O diário de juventude de Gilberto Freyre traduzido para o italiano: quanto a tradução não é somente uma questão de língua

Abstract

This article was elaborated from the translation project developed during the fi rst two years of researching in the Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução da Universidade Federaldo Ceará, whose proposal is the annotated translation of the private diary of Gilberto Freyre entitled Tempo morto e outros tempos: trechos de um diário de adolescência e primeira mocidade (1915-1930), published by the author in 1975. The aim of this work is to present to the public some of the reflections developed and the solutions taken during the translation of terms of the Brazilian language most related to Northeastern and Brazilian culture and folklore. After a brief contextualization of the work, I will present and comment some of the most significant examples of the strategies applied to my translation proposal for the Italian public, thanks to the use of the paratextual tool (TORRES, 2011) and with the support of Translation Studies theorists who emphasize, and also value, the cultural aspects involved in the translation task (BASSNETT; LEFEVERE, 1990).
