SUMMARY:

Despite its relevance within the canon of the French cultural and literary system, Georges Perec’s work, in the Portuguese language system and other languages, may have been seen as elitist, due to its experimental texts, or rather, the potentials of post-vanguardists, such as the memorabilia Je me souviens: Les choses communes I. By proposing the translation into Brazilian Portuguese titled Me Lembro: As coisas comuns I, some strategies are considered to capture the essence of his reminiscences, as well as to transmit the nostalgic and fragmented atmosphere of the original. Some processes are used to familiarize the reader with the peculiarities of the writing, while, at the same time, unveiling the Oulipian contraintes: thereby, a journey through Perec’s 480 memories is made possible. To study the process of this translation, it is particularly employed the concepts of rhizome, cartography, and assemblage, presented by the French Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in their work A Thousand Plateaus, as a possible method of mapping the chosen route. It is understood that translation can be seen as a rhizome because it involves the decentralized interconnection of different elements, the multiplicity of possible paths and interpretations, and the creation of a complex fabric of meanings. From this perspective, cartography can be employed to comprehend the dynamic and non-linear nature of translation, and in this research, the process of assemblage, the translation process carried out. In this conceptual map, which represents the different dimensions and relationships involved in the translation process: the assemblages of translation is identified in the location of the elements and actors involved in the translation process; rhizomes and lines of escape are mapped in the translation through the schematization of relations and connections between flows of meaning, cultural influences, and interactions between terms of the source and target languages; multiplicities are explored based on the different singularities and becomings present in the translation; deviations and ruptures are analyzed by scrutinizing the adaptations and choices made; and territories are contextualized through the examination of historical, social, and political factors that may influence the translation process and the results of the translation-product. In short, a critical analysis of the translation is carried out through a cartographic journey.
