A palavra «saudade» tem tradução? | Marco Neves | TEDxPeniche

EN | Is it possible to translate the word "saudade" from Portuguese? How many languages are there in the world? What are so many languages for? Can we one day live in a world with only one language? In a journey through the secrets of translation and advancing through the differences between languages, Marco Neves shows the connection between language and human creativity. Marco Neves was born in Peniche and lives in Lisbon. He has seven trades: translator, proofreader, reader, conversationalist, and author. One is missing: he is also a father, with the craft of telling stories. He is currently a professor of translation at the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences - NEW FCSH, translator, director of the Lisbon office of Eurologos-Lisbon and columnist on SAPO 24. He has published several books about Portuguese (and other languages) and also an adventure novel centered in Peniche. PT | Será possível traduzir a palavra saudade? Quantas línguas há no mundo? Para que servem tantas línguas? Será que podemos viver um dia num mundo com um só idioma? Numa viagem pelos segredos da tradução e avançando pelas diferenças entre as línguas, Marco Neves mostra a ligação entre a linguagem e a criatividade humana. Marco Neves nasceu em Peniche e vive em Lisboa. Tem sete ofícios: tradutor, revisor, leitor, conversador e autor. Falta um: também é pai, com o ofício de contar histórias. Actualmente, é professor de tradução na Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas - NOVA FCSH, tradutor, director do escritório de Lisboa da Eurologos-Lisboa e colunista no SAPO 24. Publicou vários livros sobre o português (e outras línguas) e ainda um romance de aventuras centrado em Peniche. Marco was born in Peniche and lives in Lisbon. His friends always acknowledged his obsession for languages, being known as jack of all trades: translator, proof-reader, reader, talkative and author. He is also a father with the trade of a storyteller. Nowadays, he is a professor of translation in the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences, translator and director of the Lisbon office of Eurologos and columnist at Sapo 24. And Marco will bring to stage a lot of questions: How many languages are there in the world? And in Portugal? Why do we have so many languages? And what happens when one language dies? Will we, one day, be able to live in a world with only one language? On a journey around the world, from a dead language and advancing through the differences between languages, Marco Neves shows the link between language and human creativity.
