Os deslimites da poesia e os reflexos do mundo: uma leitura de No banheiro um espelho trincado

Lyric poetry is where the relationships between world perception, language and representation are mostly problematized. In fact, poetic creation oscillates between the desire of a realistic expression of the world, beings and things and the understanding that its urgent task is simply to reinvent the world order and denaturalize it. Thus, Sérgio Mello’s poems in No Banheiro um Espelho Trincado (2004) conceive a poetry mainly concerned on the tension between words and things; between the lyric subject and the world; between language and the reality it encloses, through groups of images that range from the natural to the rupture process. His poems are small pieces of narrative, scenes that are articulated through the cutting technique, like the process of a cinematographic edition.

Oswald de Andrade e Tarsila do Amaral: poesia e pintura modernistas

The objective of the present text is to establish connections between literature and painting through the comparison between Oswald de Andrade’s poem “Longo da Linha” and Tarsila do Amaral’s painting “Palmeiras”, both belonging to the Brazilian Modernist movement Pau-Brasil. To emphasize also the step taken by the two artists, in Modernism, against the previous academicism, C. S. Peirce’s semiotics theory will be used as analytic basis to demonstrate, in Tarsila’s painting, a path towards planarity and stylization to produce quality effects, closer to the shape and the adventure of senses than to symbolization, whilst for Oswald, this same path leads to the presence of visualization as composition factor.

Mais ou menos negra? Questões de negritude, tradução e a poesia de Harryette Mullen

This paper addresses issues regarding my translation of selected poems by Harryette Mullen, a rising African-American contemporary poet, whose dense poetry works on the black oral tradition, the experimentalism of writing, the (African-American) pop music, in addition to delving into issues such as the representation of (black) female sexuality. One of the complex aspects of her poetry is the notion of miscegenation, conceived as an aesthetic argument and as a constitutive condition of the identity of multiracial Americans. This concept establishes a textuality that questions the accessible intelligibility generally expected from black American poetry, insofar as a mosaic of dissonant voices are brought to light in her text, which makes it difficult to categorize. In Brazil, especially among politically engaged Afro-Brazilians, there has been criticism towards the praise of miscegenation, since the latter has been considered to support of the myth of racial democracy. Building on these aspects, we investigate the extent to which it is a challenge to translate her poetry – based on miscegenation and hybridity as aesthetic constructs – especially when taking into account the discursive locus of readers identified with an Afro-Brazilian aesthetic, particularly critical of miscegenation. From the point of view of translation, we evaluate the extent to which her poetry could be read by the predominant cultural discourse in Brazil, inclined to favor miscegenation as an integral concept of national identity, as a seductively experimental poetry. In view of this, one wonders whether this perspective makes hers poetry “less black” for Afro-Brazilian literary standards.

Entre o cinema e a poesia, a memória e a imagem

The aim of this essay is to analyze common aspects between cinema and poetry such as image and memory. Images represent the subject’s perception, whose memory of things and feelings are built artistically (fragmentary sequences, a new idea of time and space, no-narrative style) into the language of cinema and poetry. Homological relations between both languages are put in evidence in this essay in order to bring to discussion those aspects that show the tinny frontiers that separate artistic systems.

Para além do espaço doméstico: o Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos e a visibilização do trabalho feminino nos assentamentos rurais de Presidente Venceslau-SP

This paper presents reflections on a survey on the participation of women seated in the Food Acquisition Program in the city of Wenceslas President / SP. From discussion of the issue of gender in the Brazilian countryside and along the beneficiary populations of land reform policies, evaluates the invisibility of the economic contribution of women - with generally restricted operations to the care of household activities and production for self - which is changing both due to the mobilization of women as the different public policies implemented in the last decade.

Mito e concretude: a morte na poesia de Angelus Silesius

Poesia e transcendência no Quatro Quartetos, de T. S. Eliot

Considered by critics to be the highest point in T. S. Eliot’s poetic production, the Four Quartets carry out a poetical reflection on time under the direct influence of Henri Bergson’s philosophy. What we would like to show in this article is how Eliot’s poetical use of Bergson’s concept of durée makes it possible for the poet to articulate poetry and thought in a unique combination which is peculiar to Eliot’s poetry. The peculiarity of such combination poetry-thought in the Four Quartets, this is the second point we would like to show, fundamentally involves a religious-poetical-philosophical syncretism that can be seen already in Eliot’s first poems, but which gets full expression in the Four Quartets.

Emily Dickinson e a poesia de autoria feminina

Faremos uma leitura do poema 754 de Emily Dickinson, “My Life had stood – a Loaded Gun”, à luz da teoria feminista de Sandra Gilbert e Suzan Gubar com o intuito de entender o dilema da autoria feminina no século XIX: a necessidade de auto-afirmação poética em contraposição à impossibilidade de auto-afirmação como mulher em uma sociedade patriarcal. O poema 754 dramatiza esse dilema criando uma cena pastoril na qual é a personagem feminina que fala e age em nome do homem, invertendo os papéis do gênero pastoril e da sociedade norte-americana da época. Esta inversão é que possibilita a superação do dilema, na medida em que pressupõe um eu-lírico de voz forte e eloquente, capaz de se pronunciar afirmativamente sobre assuntos do universo masculino enquanto silencia a voz masculina.
