Eugene Nida, disciplinary history, missionary translation, indigenous translation, human rightsResumo
Este artigo revisita criticamente o reconhecimento simbólico de Eugene Nida nos estudos de tradução à luz de seu envolvimento em organizações missionárias e na formação de tradutores missionários. Examinamos como a recepção de Eugene Nida nos estudos de tradução contribuiu para legitimar as atividades missionárias evangélicas ao longo da história e hoje em dia. Nossa análise ilustra primeiro vários modos de representação de Nida nos estudos de tradução e estabelece ligações com o Instituto Linguístico de Verão. Posteriormente, descrevemos como o envolvimento ativo de Nida em organizações missionárias desempenhou um papel crítico no estabelecimento da legitimidade acadêmica desse movimento. Por fim, incorporamos essas descobertas em uma discussão mais ampla sobre a relação entre os estudos de tradução e a tradução missionária. Nossas conclusões mostram a necessidade de um debate acadêmico aprofundado com o objetivo de reavaliar o posicionamento de figuras-chave dentro do cânone disciplinar e reconstruir os efeitos da tradução missionária dos séculos XX e XXI sobre os direitos dos povos indígenas, suas cosmovisões e seus territórios.
