Sobre a tradução em Jacques Derrida

Abstract

This paper reflects on the contributions of Jacques Derrida (1930-2004), related to Philosophy and Literature as an attempt to understand important concepts such as written language, illegibility, game, forgiveness, and mainly, notions of relevance and fidelity in translation. The theoretical framework of this paper includes excerpts from Grammatology (1976 [1999]), and articles and essays, among them What Is a ‘Relevant’ Translation? ([2001] 2000), in which we will see Derrida’s philosophical concerns and issues of almost an untranslatable nature, as an event underlying human language.
