- Title
Ecocritical translation in Christopher Hampton's Savages.

- Abstract
In the last decade theatre criticism witnessed a development in space studies that helped transform 'landscape theory' into a research area. The fact that any translational process involves interpretation and adaptation from a viewpoint, and that theory implies a situational perspective, elicits reflections on these two interactive concepts. This article reflects upon related theoretical models and methodologies - ecocriticism, spatial theory, phenomenology, Walter Benjamin's concept of reading between the lines - in parallel with the actual translation of Christopher Hampton's Savages (1973) into a Portuguese playtext/performance text produced at Lisbon's Centro Cultural de Belém in 2003.
