On perverse readings, Deconstruction, and translation theory: a few comments on Anthony Pym\u27s doubts
No full textNum ensaio publicado na edição de 1995 de TradTerm, Anthony Pym pretende fundamentar sua crítica às abordagens teóricas da tradução de ascendência desconstrutivista na "comparação de quatro versões de uma frase de Derrida" que encontra em textos de Barbara Johnson, Andrew Benjamin e Rosemary Arrojo. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal propor alguns comentários à suposta "desconstrução" perpetrada por Anthony Pym com base, principalmente, em sua própria declaração de que as leituras que apresenta são "perversas" e "pequenas". Como pretendo argumentar, a "perversidade" e a "trivialidade" de sua crítica, sobretudo por sua falta de rigor e cuidado, são essencialmente inócuas e não chegam a abalar, como quer Pym, "a pertinência geral da desconstrução" para uma teoria da tradução.In an essay published in the 1995 issue of TradTerm, Anthony Pym attempts to find support for his critique of deconstructive approaches to translation in the "comparison of four versions of a sentence from Derrida " which he found in Barbara Johnson\u27s, Andrew Benjamin\u27s and Rosemary Arrojo\u27s texts. My main objective in this essay is to comment on Pym\u27s "deconstruction" chiefly on the basis of his own recognition that the readings which he proposes are "perverse" and "petty." As I intend to argue, given Pym\u27s carelessness and lack of rigor, the "perverseness" and the "pettiness" of his critique are innocuous and unable to upset "the general pertinence of deconstruction" for translation theory, as originally intended
Anthony Pym. The Moving Text. Localization, translation and distribution. Amsterdam / Philadelphia: John Benjamins, 2004.
Get PDFFor some years now, translation theorist and educator Anthony Pym has been trying to establish a dialogue between the academic tradition he comes from and the world of the language industries into which he is meant to introduce his students: in other words, between the Translation Studies discipline and the localisation sector.
This rapprochement is also the stated aim of his new book The Moving Text (p. 159). Rather than collect and synthesise what was previously dispersed over several articles, Pym has rewritten his material completely, both literally and conceptually, all in the light of the more than three decades of research he has conducted into the field of cross--cultural communication. The theoretical arguments are ably supported by a few short but telling and well-exploited examples
Traduire Exploring Translation Theories, par Anthony Pym : une expérience dialogique
Get PDFCe mémoire, combinant pratique et théorie, porte sur la traduction d’un texte en sciences sociales. Plus précisément, c’est la traduction commentée d’un chapitre de l’ouvrage Exploring Translation Theories, par Anthony Pym, brossant un portrait des principaux paradigmes de la traductologie des années 1950 à aujourd’hui. Le bien-fondé de deux choses est ressorti de mes recherches : 1) lorsqu’on traduit un ouvrage sur la théorie de la traduction, il est nécessaire de refléter l’idéologie traductionnelle de l’auteur; 2) le dialogue entre le traducteur et l’auteur (lorsque c’est possible) bénéficie aux deux parties. En effet, on ne peut traduire un traductologue contre lui-même, c’est ce que je tenterai de vous démontrer à l’aide d’arguments et de citations d’experts de la traduction. Grâce à la communication traducteur-auteur, le traducteur comprend mieux le texte et les intentions de l’auteur, ce qui augmente les chances d’obtenir une bonne traduction; et l’auteur peut, par la lecture intimiste du traducteur et ses commentaires, corriger des erreurs ou améliorer son texte. Dans le cas de Pym, j’ai adopté une stratégie de traduction fondée sur la discussion franche. J’ai osé lui poser des questions directes sur ses intentions, son ton, son oralité, ses erreurs, au risque de le déranger, ou pire, de le choquer. Pym est demeuré collaboratif et enthousiaste, me fournissant des réponses ouvertes et détaillées. Nous avons échangé une quarantaine de courriels, et les avantages de cette discussion sont manifestes. J’ai été inspirée par son approche préconisant la gestion de risques en traduction, et ma façon de traduire a changé. Dans les pages qui suivent, vous serez témoins de cette évolution. Ce qui en résulte est une traduction qui prend des « risques », et une oralité qui unit l’ouvrage et son lecteur

EXPLORING TRANSLATION THEORIES
No full textResumo O presente é uma tradução do capítulo Descriptions - the intellectual background, que complementa o capítulo 5 do livro Exploring Translations Studies (2010), de Anthony Pym. O capítulo traça a ligação entre o Formalismo Russo e algumas vertentes dos Estudos da Tradução surgidas ao longo do século XIX. Passa pelos esforços realizados em Praga (Círculo de Praga), Bratislava e Leipzig e pelos realizados em Holland e Flandres, mas foca-se principalmente na Escola de Tel Aviv, onde atuam Itamar Even-Zohar e Gideon Toury, os principais proponentes dos Estudos Descritivos da Tradução (EDT). Ao analisar esse contexto acadêmico, descreve o tipo de análise proposto por esses teóricos e discute as vantagens e desvantagens desse paradigma, problematizando os conceitos de “deslocamentos tradutórios”, “traduções assumidas” e “normas”. A tradução aqui apresentada pretende trazer o texto de Pym com a clareza e fluidez que caracterizam o original, para que ele sirva tanto como referencial histórico, quanto texto introdutório aos Estudos da Tradução.</div
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
