QUESTÕES de Raça, Gênero e Classe na Tradução de “diário de Bitita”, de Carolina Maria de Jesus

Abstract

The thesis has the aim to present the translation of Diário de Bitita by Carolina Maria de Jesus, which work reflects on the disparities undermining Brazil and lived by the author herself. The translation is forerun by a critic exegesis to contextualize it through the analysis of the Brazilian society. Particularly, the contextualization is made by analyzing the concepts of race and classes, highlighting the structural racism encroaching upon it and through the concept of gender by the intersectionality that leads feminism to new developments. The theories of postcolonial and feminist translations are at the basis of the translation, in the same way as the linguistic activism; on account of that, we can operate on the text to introduce in the Italian framework a new awareness of the words used to refer to Afro-descendant populations.
