THE LITTLE PRINCE IN LIBRAS: A PROPOSAL FOR TRANSLATION CRITICISM

This work discusses the difficulties and the possible pathways to set a translation critic on The Little Prince translation into Libras carried out by the project Accessibility on Public Libraries from the Brazilian Federal Government. We sought to answer the following questions: Which criteria could be followed in order to discuss a translation critic concerning sign language? What are the difficulties involved in this process? According to Berman’s perspective of reflexive analysis and considering the comparison and contrasting of the original work with its translation, we sought to develop considerations that concerned more than just an attribution of value to the translator’s work. The process of constructing the critic was observed in order to infer the difficulties on how to discuss criticism on Libras works and that questions can also be a guide for the analysis. We have concluded that the critic faces issues when it comes to the register support of the work, and also that this is a young literary system. It is established that analyzing how the translations are allocated concerning other works in Libras is important so that the discussions about this literary polysystem can be solidified as a study area.
