O auto da morte e da vida : a escrita barroca de João Cabral de Melo Neto

This dissertation, entitled O Auto da Morte e da Vida: A escrita barroca de João Cabral de Melo Neto, has the aim of analising, interpreting, in a baroque perspective, Cabral s writing in the poem/play Morte e vida severina Auto de Natal Pernambucano, taking as basis the theories of Eugênio D´Ors, Severo Sarduy, Omar Calabrase, Lezama Lima, Afonso Ávila, Affonso Romano de Sant´Anna and others cited in the body of this work. During the analisys we feature confluences, relations, similarities, identification between the Baroque of the counter reformation and the modern Baroque or Neobaroque. We seek to comprehend the baroque which is new in the XX century and Cabral s poetry as an element of the contemporaneity, by updating the concept of the Baroque in the 1600s, when it is detected in its purest characteristic in human relation (the life of the Northwestern brazilian) through an intangible reality (the death). The Baroque as a cultural summary of a period of instability and transformation, with the power of dismantling an already established poetry. The fight between words and things, language and reality

A invenção barroca de Jorge de Lima: uma leitura da obra Invenção de Orfeu

En esta disertación se examinan algunas cuestiones fundamentales para la comprensión de la obra Invenção de Orfeu del poeta alagoano Jorge de Lima. Para ello, elegimos analizar el barroquismo del poema, evidenciando algunas de sus principales características; estética de la paradoja; el género híbrido (épico-lírico); síntesis entre el antiguo mito de Orfeo y el mito cristiano de la Caída, en alegorías aproximadas; y la realización de la poesía como una utopía. Para realizar los diálogos propuestos con el objeto de estudio, hemos utilizado las herramientas teóricas de Walter Benjamin (1984), Eugenio D'Ors (sd), Severo Sarduy (1989 [?]), Oswald de Andrade (2011).
