As escolhas temporais e a criacao de sentidos em Agua Viva, de Clarice Lispector e em duas de suas traducoes para o ingles
This article is inserted into an observed gap in the academic literature, when it tries to relate translation and stylistics, by the bias of the tense choices made by Clarice Lispector in Agua Viva, and by two of her English language translators, which result in a great diversity of meanings. To that end, Celce Murcia and Larsen Freeman (1999) Yule (1998) Bechara (2004) and Castilho and Elias (2012) will be used to understand the tense and verbal aspects in English and Portuguese languages, in a discursive approach. Within literary discourse, Benveniste (1989, 1995) Maingueneau (2001) and Fiorin (2005) will ground the relations between verb tenses and the formation of meanings. Finally, Lambert and Van Gorp (1985) and Aubert (1998) will provide references for data selection and interpretation processes. It is expected, therefore, to demonstrate possible intersections between stylistic studies, starting with aspects and tenses, and studies in the area of translation.
