The UCL SELCS Brazilian Translation Club carries on online! Rewatch our virtual translation club discussion about the short story ‘O benfeitor de Santa Clara’ by Décio Zylberstajn with guest translator Larissa Jordão from 26 May 2020.

The Brazilian Translation Club is a series of workshops in which students, translators, and enthusiasts of Brazilian literature meet to discuss the translation of a selected contemporary Brazilian short story. It is a partnership between Ana Cláudia Suriani da Silva, Associate Professor in Brazilian Studies, Department of Spanish, Portuguese & Latin American Studies, UCL, and Nara Vidal, writer, and owner of Capitolina Books. In each workshop, a different member reads out their translation and leads the discussion. The sessions are fun and very productive. Anyone who translates from and into Portuguese or has some knowledge of the language is welcome.
