Tradução cultural; política; ideologia e poder.Résumé
De certa forma, a história dos Estudos da Tradução passa por uma amplificação contínua, ao menos nas últimas décadas. Se os anos 1990 testemunharam a “virada cultural” anunciada por Mary Snell-Hornby, os/as teóricos/as mais recentes se voltaram ao papel que a tradução exerce na dominância e na resistência cultural, o que se apresenta como a “virada de poder”. Ao mesmo tempo, um movimento afim pode ser observado fora do campo dos Estudos da Tradução: alguns/mas pensadores/as, em suas buscas por novos paradigmas intelectuais para enfrentar os desafios de projetos emancipatórios, vêm se aproximando da tradução como uma forma de superar o particularismo e o nacionalismo, enquanto evitam os riscos de um universalismo monocultural que parece inevitavelmente levar ao imperialismo. A tradução, ao se preocupar com o Outro e criar diferentes mundos, oferece uma chance única de fazer o que parecia impossível e de encontrar “equivalência na diferença”. Neste artigo, discutimos as ideias sobre tradução de três pensadores e uma pensadora que se alinham a essa noção, com diferentes bagagens e tradições: Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Étienne Balibar, Judith Butler e Boaventura de Sousa Santos.
