Este trabalho tem por objetivo estabelecer uma relação entre a tradução e a sociolinguística, a partir da análise da tradução do romance epistolar The Color Purple, da afro-americana Alice Walker, A cor púrpura, realizada por Peg Bodelson, Betúlia Machado e Maria José Silveira, a fim de investigar como a heterogeneidade linguística da obra original, associada, sobretudo, à maior ou menor frequência de uso de inglês padrão e de Black English Vernacular pelas personagens, foi construída na tradução. Nessa análise, verifico quais foram os recursos utilizados na caracterização da linguagem das personagens e como estes podem ser associados aos diferentes graus de escolaridade e de letramento de Celie e Nettie, valendo-me, como instrumental para essa análise, de descrições da variação sociolinguística, das teorias do letramento e dos processos de aquisição de língua escrita.

Neste trabalho, analisamos a tradução das personagens Celie e Shug do romance de Alice Walker, The Color Purple (1982), para sua adaptação fílmica de 1985, dirigido por Steven Spielberg. Especificamente, investigamos a reescritura do relacionamento homoafetivo entre as personagens, no cinema, uma vez que se trata do amor entre duas mulheres negras no início do século XX. Diante de aspectos suscitadores de discussões polêmicas – ser mulher, ser negra, ser homossexual – percebemos a dificuldade de adaptar tais personagens para o meio cinematográfico. Acreditamos, portanto, que, devido a exigências mercadológicas diferentes das que regem a Literatura e considerando a época em que foi lançado, o filme suaviza algumas cenas em que Celie e Shug demonstram o amor que sentem uma pela outra. Assim, utilizando os Estudos Descritivos da Tradução (TOURY, 2012), objetivamos investigar quais estratégias foram utilizadas no processo de tradução de situações que demonstram esta relação afetiva, observando como o filme lida com a proposta de Walker, que busca evidenciar a mulher negra e sua trajetória de luta contra a discriminação gênero-racial.

The Way

With the detection from the post-colonial perspective, there is a certain amount of truth in the statement that Alice Walker’s The Color Purple sometimes reveals Eurocentric ideology, even though she overtly makes efforts for Africa and Africans. The way in which she delineates Nettie’s missionary job in Olinka, confirms habitual Western suspicions about equality between Europe and Africa. With the reexamination of the depiction about the African continent Nettie sketches out, additionally, we might notice Walker’s intention of setting up Africa as a foil to Europe, to some extent, echoes Said’s orientalist discourse.

Résumé Les romans d’Alice Walker (Possessing the Secret of Joy, The Color Purple, The Temple of My Familiar) témoignent de la capacité qu’ont les vaincus, ces anti-héros, à résister à l’oppression et à en inverser les signes. En tant que femme africaine américaine, elle a su transformer l’héritage de l’aliénation originelle de l’esclavage en victoire ultime, celle de la survie d’une voix puissante envers et contre tous. Le sujet « walkérien » affirme tout d’abord sa parole en se dissociant du discours idéologique fanatique du Black Power. Les héroïnes prennent corps en s’opposant au mirage archaïque de la fonction paternelle. Enfin, l’humour permet de se jouer de l’arbitraire du signe en se réappropriant le langage.

This study uses the relational content analysis method and theories of intertextuality, intersectionality, and womanism to explore the continuity of womanist ethos in select novels of the African-American novelist Alice Walker. It attempts to explore Walker’s use of womanism as an intertextual trope in The Third Life of Grange Copeland (1970), Meridian (1976), The Color Purple (1982), The Temple of My Familiar (1989) and Possessing the Secret of Joy (1992); Walker’s portrayal of Celie-Shug as a perfect womanist couple in Color Purple and their reappearance in Temple as mother trees; foremothers as role models in Third Life and Temple; Walker’s telling and retelling of Tashi’s life-long suffering from female genital mutilation (FGM) in Color Purple, Temple, and Possessing – the subject of this paper.
