Abstract	'Two translated views of Capitu in Dom Casmurro: An investigation of textual and contextual features in the construction of femininity” Rossana Farias de Felippe Universidade Federal de Santa Catatina 2001 Profa. Dra. Viviane M. Heberle Supervisor Critical discourse analysis, a recent theoretical perspective on the study of texts, has also focused on literary texts as a way to express social practices. This thesis investigates textual and contextual features of a Brazilian literary masterpiece and two translations into English of Machado de Assis’ Dom Casmurro, namely those by Caldwell (1991) and Gledson (1996). The specific objective is to analyze the way in which Capitu, the main female character, is cross-culturally constructed. This interdisciplinary work sees translation as retextualization and makes use of it as a methodological tool in order to analyze questions related to gender, as a socially constructed category, and language, as a powerfLil force to either maintain and/or change social practices. This work is based on principals of critical discourse analysis, on translation studies, on Halliday’s systemic-functional grammar (mainly on its ideational component realized by the transitivity system) and gender issues as well. Results suggest that despite some local differences in the retextualizations, such different realizations of ideational meanings seem to maintain the general sexist configuration of Capitu’s construal in language.
