Da poesia das ruas e sentimentos do asfalto para os tablados: a tradução dos livretos da murga uruguaia diablos verdes como ponte entre culturas

Abstract

During the Uruguayan military regime (1973-1985) artistic expressions faced censorship, which implied turning to creativity in order to circumvent the censors. Founded in 1939, Diablos Verdes is a left-wing murga, strongly linked to the fight against the Uruguayan dictatorship. This research is based on libretti from Diablos Verdes' shows, more specifically from 1972, 1974, 1977, 1980 and 1985. Those libretti contain lyrics of the songs, staged scripts and technical information about the shows. This study aims to carry out an annotated translation from Spanish to Portuguese of the libretti, including explanatory notes on characters as well as on socio-political situations and contexts of those decades. The methodology includes bibliographical research, an analysis of the libretti's texts and historical context, and a review of the news published by El País newspaper. The analysis is chronological, focusing on the thematic and implicit characteristics of the texts that require explanatory notes. The annotated translation aims at providing the Brazilian public with a contextualized understanding of the critiques, as well as of the contents displayed by the shows, preserving their original cultural marks. This study is relevant due to the lack of research on the murga genre in Brazil and its relationship with dictatorial regimes in Latin America, thus offering new perspectives in the translation field.
