From Rhythm to Topic: Horacian themes in a crepuscular poem by Manuel Bandeira

This paper consists of an analysis of the poem “Chama e fumo”, from As Cinzas das Horas, first book by Manuel Bandeira, regarding specially formal aspects and horacian themes within it. Moreover, it is intended to discuss how the modernist poet interweaves elements related both to classic and end of century symbolist tradition, considering some of the main ancient poetry themes, as theorized by Francisco Achcar in his book Lírica e Lugar-comum - Alguns Temas de Horário e sua presença em português, such as the topic of transience and its variations: carpe diem and the invitation to love.

PERSPECTIVISM AND COSMOPOLITICS IN POLIEDRO BY MURILO MENDES

This paper aims to investigate the possible relationship between the polyhedral poetic of Murilo Mendes in Poliedro (1972) and the theory of Amerindian Perspectivism of Viveiros de Castro (1996) and Lima (1996). It is proposed to analyze the figurations of non-humans beings in Poliedro in order to demonstrate its uniqueness, indicating a possible underlying cosmopolitics to the murilian poetics. The approach made between the mentioned works points to an interspacing area, which is an intermundane cosmopolitan sphere, whose basic relational principle is a radical acknowledging of the possible alterities. In this sense, the considerations on murilian poetics are tied in the Cosmopolitical Proposal of Isabelle Stengers (2007), suggesting a reconfiguration of the relationships between antropology and fiction. From these considerations, it is advanced, finally, certain questions on the relationship between anthropology and fiction, which imply perhaps seeing poetics, fiction, not as we accounted drifting of ourselves, but as an invitation a spread transindividual and not inter-subjective metamorphosis and alteration process, intra-differentiated and non identitary.
