Translation and decolonization: Medea's case

n 22 (January, 2018) • Archai: As Origens do Pensamento Ocidental

Autor: Tereza Virgínia Ribeiro Barbosa

Abstract:

This paper works as a metonymy of a wider project about possibilities that Attic tragedy translations offer for overcoming colonization and subalternity. The broader research’s basic concept, which was also the main idea of the 13th International Festival of Theater of Belo Horizonte in 2016, was resilience. The results here presented started back then when a group formed by students, musicians, professional actors, and a professor of Greek language and literature staged a collective translation of Medea as part of the activities of the II Congress of the Brazilian Society of Rhetoric (2012). The play was enacted outdoors, in the Mangabeiras Park, for a heterogeneous audience ranging from children to elderly adults.
