Resumo
This PhD dissertation deals with a research area 1 call "historical translation" and is a result of a multidisciplinary project, in which translation and history are combined together with other subdisciplines such as linguistics, politics and diplomacy. The thesis is divided into six chapters and is focused on giving an answer to the following questions: 1. How to translate historical texts and why is a particular historical translation theory needed? 2. What is the Asiento Contract between the Spanish and British Crowns and how diplomatic relations between both nations were established due to the said Contract? 3. What was the role of translation during the Asiento Contract, who was in charge of this task and which strategies were followed when translating? 4. Why is it important to translate historical texts and, therefore, which is the impact of it in a global society? This thesis explores and describes historical translation and contextualizes it in the relations of Spain and Great Britain during the monopoly of the slave trade, which was conceded to the South Sea Company throughout the Asiento Treaty.
