Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the translation, by the authors of this work, of Antonio de Erauso’s autobiography to contemporary Brazilian Portuguese. Written in the 17^th century and first published two centuries after under the title of “Historia de la monja alférez”, the book tells Antonio de Erauso’s life, who was born Catalina and ran away with masculine clothes from the convent. He travelled to Latin America, where he became a soldier of the Spanish Empire until his sex was revealed, then he was deported to Europe and received an authorization from the Pope to continue with his assumed gender identity. Considering the discussions from today on gender identity and Queer Translation Studies, our translation is a critical actualization of the text by recognizing the character as a trans man. For this, we will explain our translating choices by means of comparison to Ferrer’s edition (1829), and the Stepto’s translation (1996) to English, so that Erauso’s identity will be affirmed in opposition to the female one that the critique has consolidated. This work, thus, is relevant by the resignification of the text, respecting its documental and historical aspect and discussing the possibilities of gender.
