A Voz do Narrador da Tradução em Harry Potter e a Pedra Filosofal: Um Estudo Analítico-Comparativo.

Abstract

Children's Literature Translation is an unexplored field in the academy in Brazil although much of the production for children circulating in Brazil are translations. Over the years the translations in Brazil receive various treatments and were made both by professional translators as by renowned writers of national literature. Based on the assumptions of the theory of polysystem of Even-Zohar (1990) who maintain a direct relationship with the literary studies, I observed all cultural systems of a language are plural and the underlying branches compose interconnected systems. But, there is always, among the various systems, those plants with the most prestigious and peripherals. This is the case of children's literature, translations and mass literature. Therefore, the object of this study is according to the theory mentioned what is in the periphery of the literary system, the Brazilian translation of the children's book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the first volume of the series by British author JK Rowling. In this study, I observed which strategies were used in the translation process for the Brazilian book of Portuguese as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, translated by Lya Wyler and how such choices may involve the construction of the translation narrator voice category proposed by Emer O'Sullivan (2005). The study of this object will be cropping about the narrator's voice, more specifically in episodes in which present relations of the protagonist character, Harry Potter, with his aunt and uncle and how they relate to the protagonist through the descriptions. I will analyze how in the texts, textual composition evidences or not how the character is treated by his aunt and uncle and how he sees himself into his reality.
