acostantino@yahoo.com === This research project aims to examine the relations of power evident in an
English pamphlet (the source text) dealing with issues of sexual and reproductive
health (including HIV/AIDS) in South Africa, and its Portuguese translation (the
target text).
A Critical Discourse Analysis model is used to study the articulated structure of
the texts in social and historical terms as well as in linguistic terms. In carrying
out such a critical examination of these pamphlets, which reflect institutional
beliefs, I am guided by the fact that their conditions of production, distribution and
consumption can reveal intricate power relations.
