SUMMARY:

Translation Studies (T.S.) have evolved to encompass an increasingly broad range of interactions between culture, language, and style, especially in the field of re-translation. The present research proposes a theoretical expansion, centered on the narratives of popular fairy tales, to examine re-translation as an autonomous and dynamic phenomenon, based on contemporary authors such as Vitor Alevato do Amaral, who advocates a polyglot, intertextual, and polyphonic approach to "re-translating" in his article "Broadening the Notion of Retranslation" (2019). A product of interdisciplinary collaboration between Translation Studies, Folklore Studies, Comparative Literature, and the "Theory of Functions", the research aims to explore, experimentally and theoretically, the limitation of the re-translation concept to the relationship between two languages, as argued by Amaral. Although complex, the integration of these disciplines enriches the analysis, allowing for the exploration of cultural nuances and literary transformations that occur over time, aligned with the expansion of this still underexplored concept. The "Hypothesis of Non-Univocity in the Retranslation of Fairy Tales", proposed by the author, serves as a starting point for analyzing the recreation of oral and written narratives, addressing the re-translation's ability to preserve the cultural and stylistic nuances of the original while (i) responding to linguistic and cultural changes in the target audience, (ii) dialoguing with its previous versions, and (iii) allowing the translator to keep the "soul" or essence of the original alive. Finally, it is argued that the observable and essential constitutive aspects of the existence of the popular fairy tale—such as the perpetual oral recreation—may contribute to redefining re-translation as an essentially multilingual and transcreative phenomenon, which more frequently operates in a context of plurality of voices, languages, and cultures than in the restrictions traditionally imposed by bilingualism.
