Maximum visibility by Vanessa Lopes Lourenço Hanes

“…This paper presents three cases from Brazil that reveal different facets of this curious market dynamic: (1) an Agatha Christie novel in which the translator, Clarice Lispector, figures as prominently as the author in the paratext; (2) a high-profile Brazilian Portuguese version of Tolkien’s Beowulf, i.e., a market-motivated revivification of indirect translation; and, (3) Tradutores, a series by the publishing house Hedra that showcases translations by renowned Lusophone writers. This survey demonstrates the complex web of factors involved in foregrounding the translator in Brazil, which may also be at play in other national and international systems.…”

“…Between the end of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century, when the production of translations, grammars, dictionaries and other glottodidactic tools of various natures increased, the memory of the ancient praises was relied upon for purposes that were (justifying the study of Portuguese as a foreign language), politicocultural (defending the dignity of Portuguese within the neo-Latin stock; making space for the Lusitanian literary tradition in the European cultural space), and commercial (in the context of the modern publishing industry, creating a market for Lusophone texts and manuals).…”

Análise da evidencialidade na fala dos guineenses focalizando o (des)comprometimento com a língua portuguesa em relação as suas línguas maternas by Cláudia Ramos Carioca

“…The theoretical approach is based on research that makes us reflect on the status of the Portuguese language in the Lusophone community; as well as in researches that allow us to delineate the linguistic contours of Guinea-Bissau; in addition to the use-centered Linguistic Functionalism, which contemplates the reflection or discussion of its theoretical and methodological aspects applied to the description and analysis of Portuguese, which present us with evidentiality as a linguistic category that strategically allows the manipulation of information regarding the explanation of the source of informed knowledge and the degree of commitment of the subject-e nunciator with such information.…”
