SUMMARY:
This work presents a comparative analysis of two translations of Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas into English published in 2020, by Margaret Jull Costa e Robin Peterson, from the United Kingdom, and Flora Thomson-DeVeaux, from the United States. The analysis focus on polysemic and cultural aspects found in the machadian narrative that can reveal the purpose and the project of each translation, as well the dynamic between the cultures of Brazil, United Sates, and United Kingdom in the literary system, given that polysemy and cultural marks in language generate complexity for the translation process, which is interesting for understanding how translation and the literary system work. The theorical framework used for the analysis was developed by José Lambert and Hendrik van Gorp (1985), offering a descriptive and multidisciplinary approach and conceiving translation as a social-linguistic phenomenon. Other authors, such as Válmi Hatje Faggion (2001, 2009), Itamar Even-Zohar, (1990), Gideon Toury (2012), Susan Bassnett (2002, 1999), Lawrence Venuti (1998), David Katan (1999), Haroldo de Campos (2006) e Roberto Schwarz (2007, 2008), contributed to the foundation of this work with their ideas about translation, translator, literary system, and machadian literature.
