Abstract

The present work aims to contribute to academic discussions in the field of Translation Studies and Biographical Genre Studies by presenting a commented translation of the essay Biographer and Subject: A T ale of T wo Narratives written by American professor and researcher Allen Hibbard and published in 2006. The translation produced, entitled Biógrafo e Biografado: Um Conto de Duas Narrativas, is presented in its entirety , followed by comments about the translation process – difficulties, impasses and solutions found by the translator in training. Based on the discussion about the Translator ’ s Invisibility proposed by V enuti (1995), this monograph seeks to understand translation as a situated practice, that is, one that does not ignore the existence of a particular perspective and that highlights its non-neutrality , a vision that dialogues directly with the understanding of translation by authors such as Rosemary Arrojo and Cristina Carneiro Rodrigues. The comments produced about the translation process aim at registering, categorizing and analyzing important moments of impasse and/or reflection in the construction of the meaning of the text in the target language, in addition to providing a space for discussion about the translation of academic texts on biography . Keywords: translation studies; translator ’ s invisibility; commented translation; biography .
