Tradução poética: uma análise da releitura de poesias de Emily Dickinson através da concepção tradutória de Manuel Bandeira

Abstract

This paper consists of an analysis of Manuel Bandeira's poetic translation into Portuguese of five of Emily Dickinson's poetic writings from English, highlighting his theoretical conceptions and the difficulties he encountered during the exercise of his profession, in which he is known for his ability to maintain the formal characteristics of the text he translates. To this end, the following are addressed: translation theories, their historical contextualization, the formation of the first theories, the place that the poetic text occupies in these theories and the work of the translator in general. Regarding the bibliographical character, the profiles of the poet and translator Manuel Bandeira and of the poet Emily Dickinson are highlighted, pointing out the particularities of both in their respective works. The analysis was carried out with the discussion of the differences and similarities between the poems of the North American poet and their respective translations by the Brazilian translator. It was observed that the translations mostly present similarities in meaning and form with the source text, and that the differences attributed to some of them are due to the need to reconstruct the rhyme system, or to the judgment of some elements as a formal requirement and of little importance for significance
