Resumo: | Carlos Carranca´s collection of poetry, O Eu Desconhecido (2016), is a turning point in his literary aesthetics, a re-orientation in his craft of poetry, now striving towards greater linguistic reduction and hermeticism. Composed of 69 poems, all of which with three blank verses, resembling haikus, this collection is imbued with an aura of freshness and vitality where words gain their primeval, more refined and true essence. From these poems emanates a kind of aesthetics of silence, an essential condition not only for the survival of poetry, but also a means to unravel the mystery and underlying meaning of this apparent absurdity that is life itself. The quasi-opaquenature of such a rhetoric of silence, often associated with traumatic or dysphoric realities, is for the poem´s subject also a means of contemplation, of holding back time, in the sense of fostering thought, reflection, while plunging into his unknown self. In my view, this is how Carlos Carranca’s new poetic approach must be understood – where the rhetoric of silence, a form of resistence, meets what Susan Sontag defines as the “mythic project of total liberation”. Additionally, the quasi-obsessive and solitary quest for an ‘unknown self’ is reminiscent of Carl G. Jung’s concept of “individuation”. In fact, the poetic self’s dilemma when faced with a traumatic reality seems to stem from a certain inability to respond to the questions of the meaning of life and of a meaning for life. |

The aesthetics of silence as a cry of disenchanted maturity – O Eu Desconhecido (2016) de Carlos CarrancaA estética do silêncio como grito de maturidade desencantada – O Eu Desconhecido (2016) de Carlos CarrancaCarlos Carranca´s collection of poetry, O Eu Desconhecido (2016), is a turning point in his literary aesthetics, a re-orientation in his craft of poetry, now striving towards greater linguistic reduction and hermeticism.

From these poems emanates a kind of aesthetics of silence, an essential condition not only for the survival of poetry, but also a means to unravel the mystery and underlying meaning of this apparent absurdity that is life itself. The quasi-opaquenature of such a rhetoric of silence, often associated with traumatic or dysphoric realities, is for the poem´s subject also a means of contemplation, of holding back time, in the sense of fostering thought, reflection, while plunging into his unknown self. In my view, this is how Carlos Carranca’s new poetic approach must be understood – where the rhetoric of silence, a form of resistence, meets what Susan Sontag defines as the “mythic project of total liberation”. Additionally, the quasi-obsessive and solitary quest for an ‘unknown self’ is reminiscent of Carl G. Jung’s concept of “individuation”. In fact, the poetic self’s dilemma when faced with a traumatic reality seems to stem from a certain inability to respond to the questions of the meaning of life and of a meaning for life.O último livro de poesia de Carlos Carranca, O Eu Desconhecido (2016), constitui uma viragem no percurso estético-literário do autor, no sentido de uma acentuada tendência para a redução linguística e para o hermetismo. Ao longo de 69 composições poéticas de três versos não rimados, que apresentam fortes semelhanças com os haikus, o poeta tenta restituir ao verbo um significado primevo, mais depurado, menos desgastado. Dos poemas em apreço ressuma uma espécie de estética do silêncio, uma condição essencial não só para a sobrevivência da poesia, mas também para o desvendar do segredo que subjaz ao sentido desse aparente absurdo que é a própria vida.O carácter tendencialmente opaco da retórica do silêncio, amiúde decorrente de realidades disfóricas, prende-se igualmente com uma forma de contemplar, de reter o tempo, no sentido de convocar o pensamento e a reflexão, em busca do “eu desconhecido”. Penso que é exactamente neste sentido que deve ser entendida a nova abordagem poética de Carlos Carranca, em que a retórica do silêncio, também usada como forma de resistência, vai ao encontro do tal “projecto mítico de libertação total” de que falava Susan Sontag. Por outro lado, a procura obsidiante e solitária de um “eu desconhecido” remete para o conceito de “individuação” de Carl G. Jung, na medida em que o dilema do sujeito poético perante uma realidade traumática parece decorrer de uma certa incapacidade de dar uma resposta às questões do sentido da vida e de um sentido para a vida.UA Editora - Universidade de Aveiro2016-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/fb.v0i13.4752https://doi.org/10.34624/fb.v0i13.4752Forma Breve; No 13 (2016): Exodus: conto e recontos; 121-133Forma Breve; n.º 13 (2016): Exodus: conto e recontos; 121-1332183-47091645-927Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/formabreve/article/view/4752https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/formabreve/article/view/4752/3549Ramalheira, Ana Maria Pinhãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-11-23T18:46:29Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/4752Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:02:41.604025Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
