Resumo: This paper presents an evaluation of five translations into Brazilian Portuguese of the poem “Still I Rise” by African-American author Maya Angelou (1928-2014). Also, I present and discuss my own translation of the same poem, in which I aimed at creating a text to be performed, i.e. that would work orally in Portuguese. The reasons behind this choice are: 1) this is one of Angelou’s most famous poems and one which she performed on many occasions; 2) Angelou’s poetry stands out for following the African-American tradition of oral literature and so the poem acquires a new aesthetical dimension when it is performed. My criticism on the translations as well as my translation are in debt to Paulo Henriques Britto’s work towards a more objective evaluation of poetic translations (2002).

Em seguida, e com base nessa crítica, apresento e discuto o poema em minha tradução, cujo objetivo principal foi produzir um texto para performance, isto é, que funcionasse oralmente em português. Essa escolha foi motivada por dois fatores: 1) esse é um dos poemas mais conhecidos de Angelou e foi bastante declamado pela própria autora em diversas ocasiões, e 2) a poesia de Angelou é marcada pela tradição afro-americana de literatura oral e, portanto, o poema adquire uma outra dimensão estética quando performado. Tanto os meus comentários críticos sobre as traduções publicadas quanto a minha tradução filiam-se à proposta de Paulo Henriques Britto (2002) sobre uma avaliação mais objetiva de tradução de poesia. UFSC2019-05-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioncrítica de traduçãoapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2019v72n2p7110.5007/2175-8026.2019v72n2p71Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 72 No. 2 (2019): Literature and Translation; 71-86Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 72 n. 2 (2019): Literature and Translation; 71-862175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2019v72n2p71/40162Copyright (c) 2019 Carolina Paganineinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPaganine, Carolina2019-08-15T14:02:53Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/60084Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2019-08-15T14:02:53Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
