RESUMO

By following André Lefeveres concepts of translated literature as refracted texts, this study presents certain aspects of the reception of the first translations into Portuguese, French and Spanish of James Joyces Ulysses (1922) in France, Argentina, Portugal and Brazil. It also discusses various solutions of the translators when interpreting Joyces text, using Antoine Bermans concept of identifying the deforming tendencies that operate in every translation. The examination of these translations describes each translators style and how the thematic concepts of the novel are expressed. According to Berman, this kind of analysis is always effective when making a critique of translations because it makes use of double criteria: the poetics and the ethics of a translation. The former refers to the translators work on his or her own translated text, and its textual proximity to the original. The latter refers to the kind of dialogue the translator maintains with the original and his respect towards it. In order to compare the elements of selected passages in Ulysses this study will also take into consideration the contemporary ideas on translations of Joyces work made by Fritz Senn, Haroldo de Campos, and Maria Tymoczko.
