A tradução como criação

Abstract

The essay examines the relationship between translation and re-creation, focusing on the differences and similarities between primary creation, i.e., the construction of a work by its author, and translation as secondary creation, i.e., the new form taken on by the original in the target language, acquiring a new existence and gaining independence. It also analyzes the contribution of Mikhail Bakhtin's literary theory, as well as the contribution of other great masters, to an eventual theory of translation.
