Resumo: | The aim of this article is to put in dialogue two texts by Mia Couto, written in different genders, and published with a large gap of time between each other. In both, the tensions among poetry, thought and life reflect the author’s attitude in face of language and its poetic transformation strength that could act in society and lyric person. The first text, is an intervention [poetic] made in Stockholm, in 2008; the other is a poem from author’s first writings, Nocturnamente, from 1981. In both it is possible to note that authorship figurations address to two kinds of crisis: political and social dilemmas from Africa and also, in terms of individual subjectivity crisis, to the dilemmas of the poetic person, following the path of modernity but adding to it something new: the concern with body and corporality of scripture. In both texts, the intervention and the poem, language and human being has a crucial role, whether to re-ordinate the world or to ordinate the profound lyricism of poetic person. In this sense, the critical consciousness are pinpointed not as something usually dropped in traditional crisis debate, but from this debate to something challenger: the reflexions on (un)limited powerful of poetry resistance, as Jean Luc Nancy suggests. |

Em ambos, as tensões entre poesia, pensamento e vida refletem a postura do escritor diante da linguagem, reivindicando para a poeticidade papel transformador tanto da sociedade como da subjetividade lírica. O primeiro de que se tratará é uma intervenção [poética] feita em Estocolmo, em 2008; o outro, um poema da primeira fase do autor, Nocturnamente, escrito em 1981. Percebe-se que as figurações autorais em ambos respondem poeticamente a diferentes crises: à crise político-social da África, que ocupa espaço importante na obra de Couto; e à crise da subjetividade lírica, seguindo a senda das reflexões metalinguísticas típicas da modernidade, mas a ela acrescentando fator crucial: o corpo, a corporalidade da escritura. Em ambos os textos, intervenção e poema, a linguagem, a reflexão sobre ela e o ser humano têm papel central, seja para reordenar o mundo, seja para ordenar o profundo lirismo do eu-poético. Daí que em ambos, a consciência crítica salte aos olhos, não mergulhada na tradicional discussão da crise, mas partindo desta para pensar os (des)limites da palavra, da poesia em sua resistência, como defende Jean-Luc Nancy.ABEC Brasil2015-11-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo avaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/article/view/2987610.22409/abriluff.v7i15.29876ABRIL – NEPA / UFF; Vol. 7 No. 15 (2015): POETRY AND CRITICISM IN CONTEMPORANEITY; 161-171Abril – NEPA / UFF; v. 7 n. 15 (2015): POESIA E CRÍTICA NA CONTEMPORANEIDADE; 161-1711984-209010.22409/abriluff.v7i15reponame:Abril (Niterói)instname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/article/view/29876/17417Copyright (c) 2018 Abril – NEPA / UFFinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMartha, Diana Junkes Bueno2019-08-09T09:32:10Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/29876Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabrilPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/oairevistaabril@vm.uff.br||nepa@vm.uff.br||uffnepa@gmail.com||idafalves@gmail.com1984-20901984-2090opendoar:2019-08-09T09:32:10Abril (Niterói) - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
