Resumen

Este artigo desenvolve os conceitos de tradufobia (o medo da tradução) e tradufilia (a fetichização da tradução) a fim de esclarecer as tensões que giram em torno da tradução no desenvolvimento de leis de copyright. Um problema específico na interseção desses termos é abordado: “As leis se contradizem ao falar de traduções como obras originais?” Argumenta-se que a teoria pós-positivista compreende originalidade e autoria como uma soma nula de conceitos, posicionando, assim, a tradução e o original, o tradutor e o autor, numa relação irreconciliável. Propõe-se uma visão descentralizada de originalidade e autoria, que nos permite apreciar como o autor de uma obra originária mantém uma participação na disseminação da obra em escalas recursivas de transformação, ao mesmo tempo que permite ao(s) tradutor(es) partilharem essa participação à medida que a obra se distribui e se estende por diferentes línguas, modos e meios de comunicação. O artigo aponta que a concepção da tradução e dos tradutores na teoria pós-positivista é tão romântica quanto a percepção do autor e do original na construção das leis de copyright, sugerindo que, para que os Estudos da Tradução se dediquem ao regime moderno de copyright produtivamente, deve-se evitar a transformação da tradução em um objeto de fetiche.
