“…She concludes that "when the references to be translated do not exist in the target culture, the translator must provide them with some symbolic value" (cf. Robinson, 1997). Going by this, Pracontal's strategy of borrowing does not enhance mediation between source culture and target culture.…”

“…286-287). Robinson (1997) highlights three stages in postcolonial translation studies in which he identifies the middle stage "as a lightning rod for cultural inequalities continuing after the collapse of colonization" (p. 31). If one is to go by this, cultural translation could somehow breed "translational inequality" to which Jacquemond (1992, p. 154) proposes four hypotheses:…”

Os glossários são pouco discutidos nos Estudos da Tradução embora sejam uma ferramenta valiosa, pois representam um poderoso instrumento para o leitor. No glossário, podemos ver como quem traduz negocia sentidos, tornando esse paratexto um importante espaço ético-decisional de criação de significados, além de poder estabelecer uma relação dialógica entre o texto/cultura de partida e o texto/cultura de chegada. Por isso, este artigo verifica como os glossários são tratados nas abordagens paratextuais, para apresentar a análise de um caso específico, isto é, os glossários das edições italianas de Suor e da edição “I Meridiani” Jorge Amado: Romanzi (2002), a partir das teorizações de Batchelor (2018), Genette (2009), Tahir-Gürçağlar (2002), Kovala (1996) e das teorias pós-coloniais da tradução presentes em Robinson (2014) e Tymoczko (2006).

“…The works of translation conducted in the era of strong intercultural collision between countries were exploited as a means to rationalize the invasion or the rule of minor powers colonized by great powers. Examples can be found among countries in Africa and South America that were under colonial rule by European countries, or the relationship between the first immigrants to America and native aborigines (Niranjana, 1992;Robinson, 1997;Spivak, 2000). On the other hand, there are cases of minor powers who exploited translation actively for respective survival.…”

This study examines how three East Asian countries-Korea, China, and Japan overcome and translated heterogeneities into a means of communication with Western civilization. Simultaneously, discussions on ways of translation were also examined to compare the stances of each country that accepted Western civilization. The governments of the 3 East Asian countries have commonly encouraged the translation works along with openness to Western civilization in the 19th century. Translation has usually been exploited as a means to rule colonized countries. However, the three countries have spontaneously encouraged translation, suggestive of the need to find alternate approaches to conventional ways in the study of translations in the post-colonial era. In the past, the three countries shared common Chinese characters that facilitated mutual communication. However, their point of view on communication with foreign countries differed. Japan has initiated the translation of the works of Western civilization since 16th century, thus gaining experience in the importance of mutual communication with foreign civilizations. Accordingly, the level of translation and the resultant culture have evolved more than in other countries. China likewise has a long history of translation, but most works of translation were conducted by people of Western origin. In Korea, despite the significant career in the operation of national translational-training school, the public recognition of translation and translators has been relatively negative. This poor acceptance of translation and translators might be the consequence of different results from communication mediated through Korean translation in the 19th century.
