Max Weber, translation, fundamental sociological conceptsAbstract
Since the first publications of Max Weber-Gesamtausgabe, the debate about the translation of Weber's writings has gained a new relevance through the works of Keith Tribe, in the United States; Jean-Pierre Grossein, in France; Michele Basso and Reinhard Schmidt in Italy; and Álvaro Laiz and Gill Villegas in Mexico. Inspired by the motivation to contribute to the debate of Weberian lexicon’s translations in Brazil, we propose to further discuss the canonical translation of the central concepts found in “On some categories of Comprehensive Sociology (a text originally published in 1913 and translated by Augustin Wernet in Brazil), comparing and analyzing it to “Fundamental Sociological Concepts” (a Brazilian version essay translated in 1921 by Regis and Karen Barbosa). Bearing in mind that the 1921 text is an improved and updated version of the 1913 one, when comparing its conceptual structure with that of 1913, we suggest translations that reveal an interconnexion between same level concepts in both texts.
