Resumo: This article consists of an interpretive analysis of “East Coker” as a meditative poem. The essential characteristics of this hybrid subgenre are described, and it is shown how —with what stylistic themes and resources— the poet concretely configures a transcendent search for the Divine in the poem. It is discovered that the search is carried out in the manner of an ascetic-spiritual meditation with defined characteristics that invite the reader to engage in the meditative movement. Thus, he/she is able to perform the same meditation performatively, which becomes a true spiritual exercise.

Se describen las características esenciales de dicho subgénero híbrido y se muestra cómo —con qué temas y recursos estilísticos— el poeta configura concretamente una búsqueda trascendente de la Divinidad en el poema. Se descubre que la búsqueda se realiza al modo de una meditación ascético-espiritual con características definidas que invitan al lector a involucrarse en el movimiento meditativo. Así, este es capaz de realizar performativamente la misma meditación, que se convierte en un verdadero ejercicio espiritual.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2021-12-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/teoliteraria/article/view/5075510.23925/2236-9937.2021v25p222-248Teoliteraria - Journal of Literatures and Theologies (On Line) ISSN 2236-9937; Vol. 11 No. 25 (2021): Bíblias, Teologias e Literaturas: diversidade de abordagens; 222-248Teoliteraria - Revista de Literaturas y Teologías (On Line) ISSN 2236-9937; Vol. 11 Núm. 25 (2021): Bíblias, Teologias e Literaturas: diversidade de abordagens; 222-248TEOLITERARIA - Revista de Literaturas e Teologias; v. 11 n. 25 (2021): Bíblias, Teologias e Literaturas: diversidade de abordagens; 222-2482236-9937reponame:Teoliteráriainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/teoliteraria/article/view/50755/38593https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/teoliteraria/article/view/50755/39542Copyright (c) 2021 TEOLITERARIA - Revista de Literaturas e Teologiashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva Beyer, VicenteCox Cruzat, Clemente2021-12-23T15:43:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/50755Revistahttps://revistas.pucsp.br/teoliterariaPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/teoliteraria/oaialex@teoliteraria.com||teoliteraria@teoliteraria.com2236-99372236-9937opendoar:2021-12-23T15:43:16Teoliterária - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
