Língua e ideologia: análise de duas traduções de “The Garden Party”, ao português e ao espanhol, de Katherine Mansfield

Abstract

Through this research, we aim to conduct a comparative analysis of two translations – one into Brazilian Portuguese by Nara Vidal (2023) and another into Mexican Spanish by Mónica Mansour (2022) – of Katherine Mansfield's short story "The Garden Party." The juxtaposition of these translations seeks to investigate how each of them addressed the social dialects and cultural issues, which, in our understanding, constitute a fundamental aspect of Mansfield's story. To achieve this, the theoretical foundation of the work draws on various authors and perspectives. In presenting information about the writer, we draw upon the writings of Allegro (2004) and Meyers (2002); for the analysis of the story, we refer to the essays by Day (2011) and Severn (2006), in addition to Bakhtin's (1985) studies on language and ideology; to support the discussion on literary translation, we rely on texts from Allegro (2009), Britto (2012), and Wood (2017) Venuti (1995); and for the examination of cultural and social terms, we employ David Brett's (2009) proposal.These scholars provide us with the tools for analyzing the translations into both languages, enabling us to examine the strategies employed by the translators in each case. This, in turn, will allow for new interpretations, both concerning the chosen story and translational issues related to literary texts
