SUMMARY:
The goal of this dissertation is to make a dense translation - thick translation - of the preface
and the first chapter of the novel Possessing the Secret of joy (1992), by Alice Walker, which
deals with female genital mutilation in Africa. At the same time, the strategy of foreignization
is used as we maintained the repetition of words and some marks of orality in the translation of
Possessing, which can bring some discomfort to the readers. To accomplish this translation, we
established the following specific objectives: to study female genital mutilation, to analyze the
narrative to identify the afrodiasporic traits of the text and to investigate the social factors that
motivated the author's writing. In this dissertation, translation is thought as a rewriting and the
translator as a mediator, also highlighting the importance of culture as an element that reflects
important identity aspects of the community that one wants to represent. In addition, we believe
that Cultural and Post-colonial Studies displaced the monolithic enunciation to other places of
speech. In this sense, Walker's work that is based on a black feminist epistemology empowers
black women and confronts the hegemonic patterns that have long prevailed in the literary and
translation fields. It brings diverse experiences that enrich the repertoire of the target culture
through a translator’s performative work that involves black subjectivity, activism, ancestry
and experiences that communicate in different parts of the diaspora.
