Resumo: This work presents and historically locates the concept of nonsense through Lewis Carroll’s poem “Jabberwocky”. It also explores some choices made by Augusto de Campos in his translation of the poem into Brazilian Portuguese, made for the 1980 edition of Summus Publishing House. “Jabberwocky”, a classic nonsense poem in the English language, started being written in 1855. In 1871, the complete text was incorporated into Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. Both Carroll and Campos manage to unfold an intelligible story told in verse out of a text that may seem impenetrable at first, due to its singular new words and meanings (neologisms and portmanteau words). The poem can be read and understood in other translations into Portuguese, but we concentrate on some choices made by Augusto de Campos in his translation – titled “Jaguadarte” – because they carry the authorial marks of one of the most respected translators of poetry in Brazil. This article represents a note of appreciation on the mastery of Augusto de Campos’ poetical craftsmanship.

Tanto Carroll quanto Augusto de Campos tornam inteligível um texto que à primeira vista parece inacessível, através da criação de palavras novas e singulares (neologismos e portmanteaus). Os resultados de ambos os esforços compõem uma história compreensível, contada em versos. O entendimento do poema faz-se possível também em outras traduções para o português, porém optamos por comentar as escolhas feitas por Augusto de Campos, na tradução denominada “Jaguadarte”, por configurarem a marca autoral de um dos mais renomados tradutores de poesia no Brasil. O trabalho representa, em suma, uma nota de apreciação sobre a genialidade da construção poética deste tradutor.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2019-06-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/3202710.15448/1984-4301.2019.1.32027Letrônica; Vol. 12 No. 1 (2019): Writers and Translators: Thoughts on Writing and Translating; e32027Letrônica; v. 12 n. 1 (2019): Escritores-Tradutores: reflexões sobre o escrever e o traduzir; e320271984-430110.15448/1984-4301.2019.1reponame:letrônicainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/32027/17981Copyright (c) 2019 Letrônicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArgenta, MariniceMaggio, Sandra Sirangelo2019-10-15T21:32:48Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/32027Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronicaPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/oailetronica@pucrs.br||ivanetemileski@gmail.com1984-43011984-4301opendoar:2019-10-15T21:32:48letrônica - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
