Brazilian Social Theory in Circulation

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: This article focuses on the paradigmatic case of the Brazilian Darcy Ribeiro, the Latin American social scientist most translated into German between 1976 and 1985 by Suhrkamp, a prestigious publishing house in the Federal Republic of Germany. From the perspective of the sociology of translation, this article explores the key role of mediators, genres and styles in specific contexts, which explains the unusual recognition that Darcy Ribeiro received through translation by a publishing house with high symbolic capital in the production and circulation of social theory, despite the fact that he produced from the periphery.
