Textual Approaches for Poetic Translation in Brazil
The translation of poetry in Brazil saw a remarkable development in a period referred to by Bassnett as “post-colonial”. The translators of this generation, namely the brothers Augusto and Haroldo de Campos, defend transcreation and transculturation, in other words, the fact that the translator reinvents the poem and becomes its co-author. Furthermore, since the 1980s, new approaches called “textual approaches” have developed additional instruments of analysis and textual translation productions. My aim is to analyze this new trend and try to understand their relation with the so-called post-colonial generation.
