Abstract

dibaxu is bilingual poetry book consisting of 29 poems written in Ladino, Sephardi Hebrew, or Judaeo-Spanish by Clarisse Nicoïsky, a Franco-Bosnian poet translated by Juan Gelman into Spanish. Together with Haroldo de Campos I consider Gelman’s translation as transcreation, the way Haroldo de Campos renamed the translation of literature. Both the original poems and Gelman´s transcreation are actually an ars poetica, and both take place in the diaspora. Here occurs an encounter between Ethics and Poetics.
