Abstract

Fictional texts which enact narrative perspective through
regional specific speeches confront the literary translator with almost
insuperable difficulties. The orality, constructed in the flux of unilateral
dialogue and stream of conscience, is more than a problem of reproduction:
the essential aspect is the perspective and the identification(s) offered to
the implicit reader. In the target text this means a peculiar challenge, not
only for a different language but also for a different reader, if a binary
linguistic constellation is thwarted by a third language. This can be shown
in the case of the hybrid linguistic situation in João Guimarães Rosa’s
Meu tio o Iauaretê (1961) in comparison with its translation into German
by Curt-Meyer Clason in Mein Onkel der Jaguar (1981). Our approach is
guided by the category of speech of immediacy (Ágel & Hennig), taking
also into account the translator’s self-reflexive process as manifest in
epilogue and glossary.
