Traços decadentistas na poesia de Camilo Pessanha e Al Berto

This monograph aims contribute to point out the presence of technical procedures, formal and thematic elements, typical of the Symbolist/Decadentism aesthetic in lyric poetry of Al Berto (1948-1997), using the Camilo Pessanha’s (1867-1926) work as tool to comparison. To achieve this goal, we analyze the corpus selected for research, consisting of three Pessanha’s poems taken from the book that brings together his work, Clepsidra, “Caminho I”, “Caminho II” e “[Depois das bodas de oiro]”, and three poems of Al Berto, taken from the book O Medo, which is the combination of his work too: “Os dias sem ninguém - 4”, “Doze moradas de silêncio – I” and “[no exíguo espaço do corpo ou da casa]”. Through the comparison between the analysis of the poems from Al Berto and Camilo Pessanha it was found resemblances, in fact, - and obviously some differences - between both. Furthermore, it was verified that Al Berto, a contemporary poet, rescues numerous traits of the decadent aesthetic, whose Camilo Pessanha is one of the greatest representatives

Poe, Baudelaire, Huysmans: dândis e malditos

Poe, Baudelaire and Huysmans, voices that bewilder readers due to their literary iconoclastic impulse, knew how to bother society and tradition becoming archetypes of the poèt maudit.

At the same time maudits and aesthetes, they wish to be sublime and consider the dandyism like the last ray of light of the decadence: it is what this article intends to discuss.

Êxtase enfermiço: neurose e a poética da transcendência em Cruz e Sousa

This article is a discussion on the vision of transcendence peculiar to the poetic of Decadentism and considers the reference offered for the Cruz e Sousa´s poetry. We call poetic transcendence the search for Ideal and for broke the barrier of usual perception by the poetic work. Among the romantics, the transcendence was search for many ways; one of them was the sublime ravishing. In the Symbolism/Decadentism, the transcendent ravishing finds its opposite – the fall. The Cruz e Sousa´s poetry illustrates this new leitmotiv which have rise in the center of Modernity.
