TRADUÇÃO COMENTADA DO POEMA SINALIZADO PARA POESIA CONCRETA EM PORTUGUÊS: “FOLCLORE SURDO: A ÁRVORE (PAUL SCOTT)” DE FERNANDA MACHADO

Abstract

his article addresses the strategies created for a “translation” of a concrete poem recorded in written Portuguese, based on the translation made by the deaf poet Fernanda Machado of the signed poem “Tree” by the deaf poet Paul Scott. In this work, we open the discussion to the translational aspect of/from/into sign languages within Translation Studies. The strategy used by the poet was Haroldo de Campos’s (2006) concept of transcreation, which also serves as our theoretical foundation in the process of transcreating the poem into written Portuguese as a concrete poem. For the analysis, we employed a case study and commented translation as methodological approaches, aiming to describe the translational/transcreative choices in the concrete poem presented. In line with the methodology, we highlight: (i) the research path; (ii) the commented translation; and (iii) the poem translated into written Portuguese.
