Abstract

Translations of texts from the Eastern side of the globe can suffer with Orientalism, as it was defined by Said (1990), during the text selection, but also during the translation and construction of paratexts accompanying the work. As the translations contribute to the formation of a culture’s image, this paper aims to analyse publications of Japanese literature in the West and the construction of the Other in this process, considering three main aspects: emphasis on difference, anachronism, and feminization. As such, this paper tries to demonstrate how Japanese books in translation are marked by stereotypes that reinforce an idea of a Japan that was created in the West.
