Abstract

In this article we aim to contextualize Romanian translations of Jorge Amado’s works, considering their chronology and the influences they exert on the Romanian polysystem (Even-Zohar, 1990). Firstly, we present Romanian culture as a “culture of translation” (Baer 2011, p. 10); then we outline a general overview of translations of Brazilian authors into Romanian and propose a chronological classification. In the most consistent part of our work, we present Romanian translations of Jorge Amado’s works and analyze the role they played in translation processes by the ideological f ilter and the logic of the free market.
