Аннотация

Опираясь на предисловие к книге “Agents of Translation” (Milton & Bandia 2009) и опубликованные ранее работы о Монтейру Лобату (Milton 2010, 2019), автор статьи анализирует элементы посредничества при подготовке перевода к публикации, в част­ности покровительство, габитус и контроль доступа (гейткипинг). Будучи не­посредственно вовлеченными в переводческую ситуацию, агенты перевода нередко ста­но­вятся ‘посланцами’ авторов или школ мысли, которые они представляют. В работе обоб­щены результаты анализа творчества бразильского редактора, писателя и пере­вод­чика Жозе Бенту Монтейру Лобату, а также представлены два новых исследо­ва­ния, посвященных Бенджамину Мозеру, переводчику и редактору романов бразиль­ской писательницы Клариси Лиспектор, и Лиз Колдер, бывшей владелице издатель­ства «Блумсбери Пресс» и основательнице FLIP — литературного фестиваля, еже­годно проходящего в историческом прибрежном городе Парати в штате Рио-де-Жанейро.

Abstract

Drawing initially on the “Introduction” to Agents of Translation (Milton & Bandia 2009) and my work on Monteiro Lobato (Milton 2010, 2019), this article presents a number of the elements of the agency of translation such as patronage, habitus, and gatekeeping. Agents are also involved in an Actor Network, and they may act as ambassadors for the author or school they are attempting to introduce. The study then summarizes the work I have done on the Brazilian editor, author, and translator, José Bento de Monteiro Lobato. It then introduces two new studies, the first on Benjamin Moser, the translator and editor of the Brazilian novelist, Clarice Lispector, and the second on Liz Calder, former owner of the Bloomsbury Press, and the originator of FLIP, the annual literary festival held in the historic coastal town of Paraty, in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
