In this paper, a brief overview of developments in the field of Translation Studies will be presented, to understand how several historical influences defined its current state-of-the-art and institutionalization process. Based on Snell-Hornby (2006), and Blume and Peterle (2013), nine profiles of competitive examinations and selection processes will be analyzed, in order to draw considerations on the actual space of translation (and translators) within the institutional realm. As a result, it was observed that despite the fact an important step has been taken towards providing institutional space to translation and, mainly, to the translator, this paradigm change, as mentioned by Lambert (2013), still occurs gradually, without necessarily stressing the significance of translation in procedures established within these institutions.Downloads
