Lucio Cardoso "Transcriador" de Emily Brontë? O poeta-tradutor em O vento da noite

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to examine Lúcio Cardoso's translation project through an analysis of the poems he translated by Emily Brontë. The object of research are the poems in English and Portuguese contained in the bilingual anthology O Vento da Noite (The Wind of the Night), first published in 1944 by ed. José Olympio in the Rubayat collection and republished in 2016 by ed. Civilização Brasileira. By analysing the translator's choices, we seek to understand the dialogue between the two poets, even though they come from different centuries and different contexts. The theoretical basis of the research is grounded on Haroldo de Campos' theory of Transcreation and Paulo Henriques Britto's studies on translating poetry. It is understood that Lúcio Cardoso's translation project cannot be interpreted as a Transcreation.
