Ana Hatherly (8 May 1929 – 5 August 2015) was a Portuguese academic, poet, visual artist, essayist, filmmaker, painter, and writer. She was considered one of the pioneers of the experimental poetry and experimental literature movement in Portugal.[1][2]
Biography
[edit]Hatherly was born in Porto, Portugal, in 1929.[1] She obtained a degree in Germanic philology from the University of Lisbon and a doctorate in Hispanic studies from the University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, and was also trained in both film and music.[1] Hatherly was a professor of human and social sciences at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, where she founded the university's Institute of Portuguese Studies.[1] She utilized film, visual arts, and poetry in her work, which included the avant-garde.[1]
In 1958, she started her literary career with the publication of Um Ritmo Perdido, a collection of poems. Her poetry books include Um Calculador de Improbabilidades (2001), O Pavão Negro (2003), Itinerários (2003), and Fibrilações (2005). Hatherly has published poetry, essays, and fiction that have been translated into European languages, Japanese and Chinese.[3][4] She later became Emeritus Professor and a founding member of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa. She was also the Chair of the Portuguese PEN Club.[4]
Hatherly was interested in the visual aspects of poetry, which led to her successfully exploring visual mediums of art, such as painting and films.
Ana Hatherly died in a hospital in Lisbon, on 5 August 2015, at the age of 86. Her funeral was held at the Estrela Basilica in Lisbon, with burial in the Olivais cemetery.[1]
