Ecoteorias, ecotradução e (re)descoberta dos relatos de viagem na e sobre a Amazônia
Abstract
The end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century brought awareness of ʻnewʼ threats, a ʻnewʼ normal, such as ecological disasters, species extinction, and pandemic infectious diseases. This context has impacted environmental thinking, and literature has not been exempted from these global inquiries and movements. I intend, first and foremost, to outline a theoretical overview of the main expressions and publications of what I refer to as ecotheories in Translation Studies originating from ʻperipheralʼ countries. Secondly, I will show how Brazil is undergoing an ecological shift, particularly through ecotranslation. Finally, I will address, based on internationalization projects of Brazilian universities, the recent interest and need to translate travel narratives about and in the Amazon, written in foreign languages by travelers and mostly not translated into Portuguese.
