Presentantion of numeber 43Mariângela de AraújoElena VássinaMaurício Santana DiasJohn MiltonIt is with great pleasure that the Editorial Board of TradTerm presentsits readers with this forty-third issue. The topics covered in the articlescollected here, written by authors from various Brazilian and foreigninstitutions, are very varied, demonstrating once again the breadth ofresearch in the area of Translation Studies and Terminology.The article that opens this issue of TradTerm is “Acknowledgingconnections between Reading and Translation Studies: a bibliographicalreview”, written by Claudia Marchese Winfield and Lêda Maria BragaTomitch, in which the authors conduct a study on cognitive processes intranslation, seeking theoretical and methodological connections betweenTranslation Studies (TS) and Reading. Based on the research approach ofFerreira and Schwieter, Hurtado Albir and Shreve, they conclude that factorssuch as experience influence reading in translation, and that translation,reading, and reading during translation are parallel and distinct processes thatare associated during the translation activity.We next have the article “Interpretação intermodal em conferênciamultilíngue: de língua estrangeira para língua de sinais” [“Intermodalinterpreting in multilingual conferences: from foreign language to signlanguage”], by Vânia de Aquino Albres Santiago and Eda Vera Turcato. Thetext addresses aspects of the activity of intermodal simultaneous interpretingin multilingual conferences and events, from a vocal foreign language (C) tothe interpreter’s sign language (B). Based on Dialogical Discourse Analysis,Brazilian and Argentine interpreters were interviewed. The authors present2important conclusions on intermodal interpreting in multilingual contexts,stimulating new areas of research.The third article in this issueis “Domesticação, infidelidade abusiva ea ilusória invisibilidade do tradutor: o caso dos memes na dublagembrasileira da animação (Des)encanto” [“Domestication, abusive infidelityand the illusory invisibility of the translator: the case of memes in theBrazilian dubbing of the animated series (Dis)enchantment”], by AdauriBrezolin and Gabriela Favero Perretta, in which the authors examine aspectsof the dubbing of the series (Dis)enchantment (Netflix, 2028). Based on theanalysis of 15 lines from the series and its dubbing in Brazilian Portuguese,the article discusses how, even in a highly domesticated text, the translatorachieves visibility. By constructing arguments on the relationships betweendubbing, translation and translation for dubbing, strategies of domesticationand foreignization (Venuti, 1995), with an emphasis on the meme, it isevident that the practice of “abusive infidelity” can make the translatorvisible.Next, the article “Aspectos linguísticos e culturais na adaptação deinstrumento para a identificação de apraxia de fala na infância” [“Linguisticand cultural aspects in the adaptation of an instrument for identifying apraxiaof speech in childhood”], by Letícia Cristina Silva and Simone Rocha deVasconcellos Hage, offers the reader an analysis of the guidelines fortranslation and cross-cultural adaptation of health protocols, with a focus onchildhood speech apraxia. Based on the guidelines of Beaton et. al. (2000),the article verified the adaptation of linguistic and cultural aspects to achievethe best possible result. The authors emphasize that, in a text that valuesprecision, consideration of the target audience and the translator's experienceare fundamental to the quality of the translation.The following article is dedicated to the study of the translation ofliterary texts: “Henriqueta Chamberlain: a tradução de Inocência (1946) esuas experiências no Brasil” [“Henriqueta Chamberlain: the translation ofInocência (1946) and its experiences in Brazil”], by Eliza Mitiyo Morinakaand Luciana Vitória Cupertino Santos. The translation of the novel Inocência(1946), by Visconde de Taunay, into English gained space in US bookstoresin the 1940s with the support of the OCIAA (Office of the Coordinator of3Interamerican Affairs), an agency created with the mission of strengtheninginter-American relations. The analysis of Henriqueta Chamberlain'stranslation, accompanied by the preparation of a biographical profile of thetranslator, shows that the author, who lived in Brazil, had considerableknowledge of Brazilian themes, which allowed her to produce a textaccessible to English-speaking readers, taking into account both theOCIAA's pedagogical project and aspects of the American literary system.Next, still in the field of relations between literature and translation,the novel Gouverneurs de la rosée (1944), by Haitian author JacquesRoumain (1907-1944), one of the most prominent voices in Haiti, is carefullyanalyzed in the article “Tradutores do orvalho: tradução e crioulização emGouverneurs de la rosée” [“Translators of the dew: translation andcreolization in Gouverneurs de la rosée”], written by Thiago Mattos andHenrique Provinzano Amaral. Based on the research of Glissant, Larocheand Combe, the authors demonstrate how Roumain creolizes French,subverting the logic of colonial diglossia between French and Creole,creating a narrative that dialogues with the translation in order to“deterritorialize” the Francophone reader and “reterritorialize” French withCreole.Then, in the article entitled “Um glossário dos Estudos de Gênero noBrasil: bastidores de um trabalho terminográfico” [“A glossary of GenderStudies in Brazil: behind the scenes of a terminological study”], MarinaLeivas Waquil defends the creation of a terminological product based on theidea that common terms acquire a specialized character in specific contexts.Using Corpus Linguistics, the author compiled and analyzed a database ofscientific articles from the journals Revista de Estudos Feministas andCadernos Pagu, using the Antconc tool. The glossary brings together 218terms organized with methodological rigor and consistency, contributing tothe areas of terminology and terminography.The next article is “Da vita monachorum a vita religiosa: a concepçãode vida religiosa e a criação da Congregação Beneditina Portuguesaanalisadas por meio de uma tradução da Regra de São Bento de 1586”[“From vita monachorum to vita religiosa: the conception of religious lifeand the creation of the Portuguese Benedictine Congregation analyzedthrough a translation of the Rule of Saint Benedict of 1586”] in which4Jefferson dos Santos Alves notes that, in the Portuguese translation publishedin 1586 of the Rule of Saint Benedict, written by Benedict of Nursia in the6th century, the words “religioso” and “religião” (religiosus”and religio)were used, although they did not exist in the original context/text. Byexamining the translator’s strategy, with a detailed study of the conceptsreligiosus and religio and the contexts with which the text and its publicationdialogue, it is demonstrated that there was no loss of meaning on the part ofthe translation.In the conclusion of this issue, Eric Claude Leurquin’s review entitled“La note américaine: Killers of the flower moon” discusses the book Killersof the flower moon. The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI Globe, byDavid Grann (2017), based on the translation by Cyril Gay, published inParis by L’école des Loisirs in 2018, under the title La note américaine. Thereview addresses the construction of one of the most impactful investigativenarratives of recent times, adapted for the cinema by Martin Scorsese.Translated in Brazil as Assassinos da Lua das Flores, the book narrates themurders of members of the Osage tribe in the 1920s, after the discovery ofoil on their lands in Oklahoma. The investigation, led by the young Edgar J.Hoover in a seminal FBI investigation, reveals a conspiracy to usurp thewealth of the Osage, highlighting the corruption and violence of the time.The TradTerm editorial board concludes this presentation by wishingeveryone a fruitful reading and thanking all the contributors to the magazine.Special thanks go to the authors-researchers, the article reviewers, theCITRAT secretary, Sandra Albuquerque, and the monitor Thábata Salles,who greatly contributed to the publication of this issue.
