Beatrice campos autobiography in five short

1. Introduction

Translations between Brazilian and Spanish-American literary spheres often represent unique spaces of aesthetic experiment, political statement, and theory building. As a creative translator, Augusto de Campos (b. 1931) uses fragmentation, selection, and an anti-critical mode of literary criticism to connect with a wide range of literary traditions. In this article, I analyze his translations of the modernista José Asunción Silva and the vanguardista poets Vicente Huidobro and Oliverio Girondo to map out a different imagined trajectory for Spanish-American poetry that would travel from the linguistic innovations and poetic renovations of Spanish-American modernismo through early avant-garde experimentalism to arrive at concrete poetry without the aesthetic detour of surrealism. In this alternative periodization for Latin American letters, translations between Spanish and Portuguese serve as fields of exchange between different so-called “peripheral” spaces that negate established norms of translation and criticism. Through translation, he draws these Spanish-American poets closer to his own literary canon and emphasizes their impact on the level of language experimentation. After introducing the poet-translator’s statements on Spanish-American poetics and analyzing his translation theories in relation to his poetic strategies of negation, this article centers on Campos’s “untranslation” practice as exemplified by three works he translated from Spanish to understand his participation in an inter-Latin American poetics.

2. Augusto de Campos and the Pablo Neruda Prize for Iberoamerican Poetry

In 2015, Campos won the Premio Iberoamericano de Poesía Pablo Neruda, a prestigious award established in 2004-the centennial of Pablo Neruda’s birth-by the Chilean Council of Art and Culture. The first Brazilian poet to receive this recognition, he names the Chilean poets important to his work in

Queen of Castile and claimant to the Portuguese throne (1373–c.1420)

For others with this name, see Beatrice of Portugal (disambiguation).

Beatrice (Portuguese: Beatriz, pronounced[bi.ɐˈtɾiʃ]; 7–13 February 1373 – c. 1420) was the only surviving legitimate child of King Ferdinand I of Portugal and his wife, Leonor Teles. She became Queen consort of Castile by marriage to King John I of Castile. Following her father's death without a legitimate male heir, she claimed the Portuguese throne but lost her claim to her uncle, who became King John I of Portugal, founder of the House of Aviz.

During her early years, Beatrice was a pawn in the changing politics of foreign alliances of her father, who negotiated successive marriages for her. She would eventually marry King John I of Castile, by whom Beatrice became Queen Consort of Castile. At the death of her father, Beatrice was proclaimed Queen regnant of Portugal and her mother assumed the regency in her name. Opposition to the regency, fear of the Castilian domination and loss of Portuguese independence led to a popular rebellion and civil war between the late King Ferdinand I's illegitimate brother, John of Aviz, who wrested control of the regency from the dowager queen, and the supporters of Beatrice and her husband, John I of Castile, who claimed the throne of Portugal by right of his wife. In 1385, John of Aviz was proclaimed King of Portugal, and the King of Castile was definitively defeated in the Battle of Aljubarrota, effectively ending any prospects for Beatrice and her husband to assert their rights to the Portuguese crown.

From that time, Queen Beatrice took a special interest in the welfare of the Portuguese exiles in Castile who had been faithful to her dynastic claim to the Portuguese throne. After the death of her husband, she was relegated to a secondary level in the Castilian court. However, the dynastic strife continued to re
