Gênese de uma obra e esboço de uma poética: a correspondência de João Guimarães Rosa

The quality and the diversity of the material – questionnaires, glossaries, notes, drawings, comments on his work, reflections on language and literature, indications and references – which we find when we read the correspondence of João Guimarães Rosa with the translators of his texts to other languages certify the importance to the study of his work. In this research, we intend to comment on some excerpts of this correspondence, mainly on the unpublished ones, which belong to the Guimarães Rosa Fund (IEB/USP), that we consider relevant to elucidate the process of the origin of this work and to shape Rosa’s poetry or as the author used to call his “platform” of writer.

O rapto de Europa: uma comparação entre Ovídio e Ticiano

In Metamorphoses, the Roman poet Ovid tells the tale of the transformation of Jupiter into a bull to seduce the Phoenician princess Europa. During Renaissance, as is well known, Western civilization fostered an intense renewal of its values under the clear influence of Greco-Roman culture. Ovid, whose fame had not ceased throughout the Middle Ages, became then even better known, and especially his poem Metamorphoses turned into a remarkable source of inspiration not only to literature but also to fine arts and their new humanistic conception. Thus, the episode of the abduction of Europa received a dramatic pictorial expression in the broad brush strokes of the Venetian master Titian Vecellio, who interpreted several classical myths in his canvases at the height of his creative maturity. There are many and obvious relationships in the verses of the ancient Latin poet and the picture of the Italian Renaissancist. In Metamorphoses, the mythical account is described in so many details and set in such an expressive poetic that Titian could take Ovid´s narrative as a model for painting “The Rape of Europa”, doing a true exercise in intersemiotic translation by interpreting verbal signs through pictorial signs.

Percepção e experiência na criação poética

The artistic language is deeply related to the ability of imagination of the human spirit. The poetic experience is based on the perception of physical existence. The poet tries to show through images what he wishes to express and his tendency is to deal with words as a concrete thing.

O jogo de intermediações enunciativas no romance de Alan Pauls

The novel O passado (2003) by Alan Pauls presents many isotopies which would deserve to be investigated: there is a varied construction of loving relationships among the characters, who reveal different feelings, that would allow a mapping of passions to be studied; there is an activity of translation (role performed by Rimini and Carmen) that engenders a very rich reflection on the literary activity which is taking place. There is also the presence of a visual artist, Jeremy Riltse, revealing a poetic work which was created by this discourse. Due to the dimension that a research of this kind would require, it is not possible to deal with all the isotopies. Thus, the last one was chosen to be investigated, that is, to verify how the fictional visual artist and his singular work operate in the novel.

A sexualidade após a lesão medular: análise de uma narrativa biográfica

A palavra poética de Arnaldo Antunes

This article reflects on Arnaldo Antunes‟ (AA) poetics. For this purpose, both the contributions of Fontanille and Zilberberg regarding tensivity, as well as some ideas of Tatit regarding song semiotics. The aim is to think about how the dance between enunciation and enunciate is structured in AA within poetical architecture as exemplified here based on the analysis of the poem “Palavra”. The hypothesis is that the tension between the two central nuclei of the poem, metalanguage and erotism, are the essential compositional marc of AA poetical stylistics. The results lead to the reflection that the musical tension is the game that guarantees the movement between the density of the word and the erotic fluidity of the authorial (metalinguistic) act of production.

Ciência e literatura na Itália do século XX

No século XX, os famosos manifestos futuristas inauguraram, polemicamente e com muito ruído, as relações entre as artes (não apenas a literatura, portanto) e a ciência. Mas é sobretudo à tecnologia que os futuristas queriam atrelar as artes. Ao tentar transpor a velocidade das máquinas ao ritmo poético, Marinetti e outros futuristas realizaram operação que, por um lado, inegavelmente “dinamizou” a estrutura poética, por outro, atrelou mecanicamente, sem distanciamento crítico, o que era da esfera exclusiva da ciência e da tecnologia. Para os futuristas, exceção feita para as artes plásticas, o choque diante do advento do automóvel, do avião e dos demais produtos tecnológicos, frutos de um paciente e constante desenvolvimento da ciência a partir de Galileu, implicou em adequação mecânica e meramente estrutural, pelo menos no que diz respeito à poesia.

Expresividad poética y traducción con breve lectura de Fedro I. 1

The term poetic expressiveness refers to the multiple joints of the plan of expression, derived from the expressive value of the linguistic sign (ROSSET: 1970, 135) and its particular role in the field of poetry. The features of meaning, such as projection, elevation and salience, make it possible to consider expressive all poetic statements which constitute particularly dense instances in the formal consolidation of a convergence between the two planes (expression/content), and therefore it stands out from the others due to the high density of structural parallelisms and isomorphisms, which are procedures responsible for the impression that a particular form of content can only be expressed by cutting that same specific form of expression out. These considerations have an immediate impact on the reading, interpretation and practice of translating poems, which is intended to be demonstrated here, through an example of translation of a Phaedrus' fable, written in iambic meter.
