For more than five centuries, since the invasion of the Americas by Europeans, the West has been writing a history that erases, silences and stereotypes indigenous societies. Translation studies of a historiographical nature shows us that translation and translators are closely related to the continuous colonizing processes of silencing the Amerindians and their discursive productions and formations. Having post-structuralist translation studies and postcolonial studies as theoretical references, the main objective of this dissertation is to think translation as reparation (see Paula Bandia 2008) and, in particular, as to mpey – a life concept from the Canela indigenous people, meaning something as to make beautiful, to solve a problem, to mend something -, that is to say, as a way of rethinking and repairing not only the histories, identities and cultures of indigenous societies, but of this whole Brazilian nation that has been constituted by hybrid hues and that still sees in indigenous peoples a distant and tribal exoticism. The concept of translation used implies the conceptual extension initiated by Roman Jakobson ([1959] 1975) and, above all, the understanding of rewriting proposed by André Lefevere ([1982] 1992). Having as our first motivation the Kotiria Series - a collection of books that retakes some narratives of the Kotiria people -, we formed a corpus with two other sets of rewritings of indigenous narratives published recently. The paratexts presented in these collections were analyzed, in order to verify to what extent these projects appeared as spaces of indigenous discursive production; in other words, we were aware of possible indications that these rewritings may or may not constitute examples or actual cases of the linguistic colonization that insists on westernizing indigenous peoples. Finally, relying on concepts of writing and orality that deconstruct its traditional dichotomization, formulated by scholars such as Daniel Munduruku (sd) and Souza (2017), and considering the emergence of indigenous literatures, we propose these rewritings as a potential counter-hegemonic literary system.
