CRIAÇÃO DE REPERTÓRIO SOCIOCULTURAL PARA INTERPRETAÇÃO NA ÁREA JURÍDICA

Abstract

This article, originally designed for the course "Socio-professional knowledge in legal contexts" in 2021 by the Sign Language Translators and Interpreters in Legal and Police Contexts Extension Program (TILSJUR), at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), addresses the procedure to expand the sociocultural repertoire of students in the subject "Translation and Interpretation in Legal Contexts", of the undergraduate course in Bachelor's Degree in Translation and Interpretation of Libras/Portuguese (Letras-Libras), at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (Ufes). The script includes: knowing the target audience; the word as an ideological creation; symbols and archetypes; myths, history and heritage; and legal spaces. As a basis we use Freire (2019; 2020), Bakhtin (2010) and Jung (1964). In the final considerations, we highlight the importance of translators and interpreters mastering this sociocultural repertoire of the legal/forensic area, not only for their professional and civic activities, but also to better enlighten the deaf community on specific terms. Ultimately, understanding these cultural elements promotes a more ethical and efficient practice in linguistic accessibility services, enables professionals to make better translation and interpretative choices, broadens the vision in specific situations and implicit values, and reveals historical nuances in the present and future trends.
