A collection of poetry concerned with loss and the act of creation.

No description available.

“Poetry makes nothing happen,” W.H. Auden famously articulates in “In Memory of W.B. Yeats, “it survives / A way of happening, a mouth.” The Dumb Weight is a collection of poems that explores this tension, always trying to locate the body, how it speaks, its language. The poems take as their subject the act of making as a performance of knowingness, an assumed familiarity as that of an intimate listener, and attempts to navigate the space between utterance and its subject, it’s author and speaker, speaker and what is spoken, between poem and you—for if what John Ashbery writes in “Paradoxes and Oxymorons,” is true, “the poem is you.”

We search to answer along the thesis, three questions: if the "poetic inspiration" by Manoel de Barros transcends his personal experience in his books, or the place and time where pronounced are so present in the works that ultimately enroll them autobiography traces; if the traits that make up the poetic writer can do (or not) identify in their works a poet "local" or a universalizing poetic; such as (South) Mato Grosso writer, chronologically enrolled in the "45 generation" articulates tradition and innovation in his poetic construction. Confirming or deconstructing "truths" published on the poetics of the author and searching new constructs and aesthetic effects that literary production, we have the following objectives: identify regularities and dispersions in the form and content of the poems; discuss the relationship between local and universal, between tradition and modernity, between memory and invention and among selves / others who live in the works; search identifying traits of poetic writer. To this end, we elected as corpus of research two works of Manoel de Barros: Poemas concebidos sem pecados (1937), the first book of the writer, and Memórias inventadas: A terceira infância (2008), searching to bridge the gap between the first and one of the last books the poet. Compliance with the proposed objectives requires, however, in addition to "face" the work, to provide himself with a theoretical foundation. Thus, we use of Candido (2000) to treat the issue of the location of the dialectic and universal literary decolonization, as well as the relationship of author-work-public. To clarify concepts or principles "technical" essential to the analysis, such as "tradition," "influence" and "intertextuality", we called to Nitrini (2000), to whom we add Bakhtin (2011), mainly to treat style, aesthetics and exotopy, and Paz (1972; 1991). For understanding the concept of identity, the support came from Hall (2011) and other invited authors to the reflections on identity and memory, as Gusdorf (1951, 1990, 1991), Bergson (2006), Halbwachs (2003), Ricoeur (2007) and Candau (2014). In addition to these authors, some others will emerge in due course, because indispensable to poetry reading Manoel de Barros. We found that Barros excluded from his poetry any purpose of describing landscapes or historicizing costumes, putting on display the dialogue, rapprochement and the gap between the selves, times and spaces. Barros attributed his lyricism to "a desert in the eye" and to express it, took a seemingly autobiographical format, just like the invention feature because sang "what was not," but what had missing "for not having been "revealing us exotopy spoken by Bakhtin (2011). From our reading, the memory was not as "representation" but as "eye divination" in tone and unmistakable verses of Manoel de Barros. / Manoel de Barros é poeta e, como se autodefine, “poeta da palavra”, cujos poemas guardam íntima relação com o Pantanal (sul-)mato-grossense, pondo à mostra a estreita relação entre a obra e o contexto. Procuramos responder, ao longo da tese, a três questões: se a “inspiração poética” de Manoel de Barros transcende sua experiência pessoal nos seus livros, ou se o lugar e o tempo de onde se pronuncia são tão presentes nas obras que acabam por inscrever nelas traços de autobiografia; se os traços que constituem o fazer poético do escritor podem (ou não) identificar em suas obras um poeta “do local”, ou uma poética universalizante; como o escritor mato-grossense, cronologicamente inscrito na “geração de 45”, articula tradição e inovação em sua construção poética. Ratificando ou desconstruindo “verdades” publicadas sobre a poética do autor e buscando novos construtos e efeitos estéticos nessa produção literária, temos como objetivos específicos: identificar regularidades e dispersões na forma e conteúdo dos poemas; discutir a relação entre local e universal, entre tradição e modernidade, entre memória e invenção e entre os eus/outros que convivem nas obras; buscar traços identificadores da poética do escritor. Para tanto, elegemos como corpus da pesquisa duas obras de Manoel de Barros: Poemas concebidos sem pecado (1937), primeiro livro do escritor, e Memórias inventadas: terceira infância (2008), procurando fazer uma ponte entre o primeiro e um dos últimos livros do poeta. O cumprimento dos objetivos propostos requer, no entanto, além de “enfrentar” a obra, munir-se de uma fundamentação teórica. Assim, valemonos de Candido (2000) para tratar da questão da dialética do local e do universal na descolonização literária, bem como da relação autor-obra-público. Para esclarecer conceitos ou princípios “técnicos” essenciais à análise, como tradição, influência e intertextualidade, recorremos a Nitrini (2000), a quem agregamos Bakhtin (2011), sobretudo para tratarmos de estilo, estética e exotopia, e Paz (1972; 1991). Para a compreensão do conceito de identidade, o apoio veio de Hall (2011) e de outros autores convocados para as reflexões sobre identidade e memória, como Gusdorf (1951, 1990, 1991), Bergson (2006), Halbwachs (2003), Ricoeur (2007) e Candau (2014). A esses autores de referência, alguns outros emergem oportunamente, porque indispensáveis à leitura da poesia de Manoel de Barros. Verificamos que Barros excluía de sua poesia qualquer propósito de descrever paisagens ou historiar costumes, pondo à mostra o diálogo, a aproximação e o distanciamento entre os eus, os tempos e os espaços. Barros atribuía seu lirismo a “um ermo dentro do olho” e, para expressálo, adotou um formato aparentemente autobiográfico, apenas como recurso de invenção, pois cantou “o que não fora”, mas do que tinha saudade “por não ter sido”, revelando-nos a exotopia de que fala Bakhtin (2011). De nossa leitura, ficou a memória não como representação, mas como "olho divinatório", em tom e versos inconfundíveis de Manoel de Barros.

Ce mémoire propose une lecture du recueil Art poétique d’Eugène Guillevic. Art poétique parait non seulement comme un livre où se développe la recherche patiente d’un principe directeur, mais aussi comme « l’autoportrait d’un poète qui continue de s’interroger et d’interroger le monde » . Le poète a résumé cette double interrogation dans l’expression suivante : « Écrire, c’est bien s’inscrire dans le monde » . Cette formule inspire notre réflexion sur le recueil et nous amène à avancer l’hypothèse suivante : la reprise du genre de l’art poétique par Guillevic s’accorde paradoxalement avec sa recherche d’une expression subjective et singulière. Au cours de ce mémoire, nous allons examiner les relations que le sujet guillevicien entretient avec l’espace et le temps. Nous allons chercher notre appui dans la théorie du discours, telle que la décrit Émile Benveniste. / This dissertation will develop an interpretation of Art poétique by Eugène Guillevic. This anthology in not only a treatise on poetry, but also a “self-portrait of a poet who continues to interrogate himself, and interrogates the world” . This issue is expressed by Guillevic himself: “Writing means making ourselves part of the world” . This sentence leads to the following hypothesis: the genre of “ars poetica” is a means that paradoxically leads Guillevic to write in an intimate manner. This dissertation is an outline of the relations that the poetical subject attempts to maintain with space and time. The theory of discourse of Emile Benveniste will constitute the primary theoretical background for this analysis.

Na poesia de Eugénio de Andrade (1923-2005), a mudança não constitui propriamente um desligamento ou uma ruptura, mas um reencontro. Sua poesia persegue, na transformação, a possibilidade de permanência, e assim constrói, por meio da continuidade de seus elementos, um movimento cuja variação desperta uma série de associações ou ressonâncias. Com vistas na dinâmica fluida dessa poesia, esta dissertação de mestrado propõe uma análise de signos e disposições imagéticas recorrentes em Poemas (1945-1965), reunião da primeira fase de sua obra, publicada em 1966. Muitas das imagens selecionadas, motivadas pelos temas do amor e do fazer poético, traçam movimentos de deslocamento e expansão, e serão lidas como alusões à palavra poética, que, ora em nascimento, ora em transformação, sublinha a existência de uma estrutura poética autônoma e autorreflexiva. Desse modo, identificamos núcleos poéticos em cada um dos sete livros da coletânea, movimentados por signos centrais, que se desenrolam, confrontam-se, e permitem uma leitura conjunta dos poemas. Por meio de prefácios e poemas de abertura, seguidos de outros poemas e trechos relevantes, pretendemos investigar a formulação de uma concepção poética, que se revela, antes de mais nada, em permanente renovação, evidenciando esforços afirmativos contra a paralisia do sujeito e em diálogo com a condição crítica do mundo moderno. Pois, ainda que a poesia de Eugénio de Andrade procure sua expressão na própria realidade das palavras, não deixa de manifestar um momento histórico em que o sujeito enfrenta a consciência dolorosa de um mundo caótico, fragmentado, e separado da natureza. / This dissertation aims at analyzing the main poetic signs and images in Poemas (1945-1965), collection of the first poetry by the Portuguese Eugénio de Andrade, published in 1966. Many of the selected images, read as allusions to the poetic expression, draw movements of dislocation and expansion, revealing an autonomous and reflexive poetic structure which remains in perpetual transformation. In each one of the seven books included in the collection, we identify a poetic nucleus developed around a group of poems, linked by a dominant and recurrent sign. The dynamic of rotation and repetition of signs and images prescribe movement to the poetry by Eugénio de Andrade, organizing cycles that narrate stories of love and poetic emergence, from its birth to its decease or exhaustion, usually lamented by a tragically abandoned poetic subject. Our corpus constitutes of the preface, the opening poem of each of the seven books, as well as other relevant poems and extracts. The main purpose is to investigate the formulation of a poetic conception which reveals itself in constant change and reformation, seeking permanence through the very act of transformation. Its affirmative efforts can be read in association with the tensions lived by the modern individual, who constantly tries to overcome his particularly conflictuous historical moment in which his fellow men can only face a chaotic and fragmented existence, distant from nature and from any kind of reconciliation.

La grande variété et l’hybridité de l’œuvre durassienne ne sont plus à prouver. Dès lors, la question de l’art poétique de Marguerite Duras se pose de manière particulièrement probante ; elle est l’occasion de réenvisager différemment cette pratique artistique hétérogène, de dépasser les clivages traditionnels pour découvrir une conception intérieure et injonctive de l’écriture. Cette thèse propose d’analyser l’art poétique de Marguerite Duras à travers tous les modes d’expression utilisés par l’écrivain : écrits, films, mais aussi entretiens de toutes natures. L’objectif est de montrer que cet art poétique se construit dans la pratique et donc au fil de l’œuvre. L’écriture y devient métadiscours, elle est pensée comme processus incessant de dénaturation et de réécriture et ainsi confrontée à la métamorphose perpétuelle de sa forme. Ce travail aura pour fondement le phénomène de l’ombre interne, métaphore récurrente du métadiscours durassien, processus originel de l’écriture, déterminé par le mouvement, le commencement et la fin sans fin. Dans un premier temps, nous verrons que le paratexte durassien commente le phénomène de l’écriture mais se livre aussi à un véritable travail de création. Nous montrerons ensuite que les œuvres de nature générique indécidable et les pratiques extralittéraires de Marguerite Duras contribuent à faire du lieu de l’écriture un lieu en mouvement permanent, recourant à une altérité poétique fondamentale. Enfin, les textes fictionnels seront étudiés au regard de cette notion de fiction qui s’insinue dans le discours et dans le narratif et place l’écriture dans une zone particulièrement instable, requérant une absence indispensable. / One does not need to prove anymore that Marguerite Duras’ work is of great variety and hybridity. Therefore, questioning Marguerite Duras’ ars poetica is especially relevant : it offers the opportunity to rethink differently this artistic and heterogenic method, and to cross the traditional borders to discover an internal and injunctive conception of writing. This thesis proposes to analyse Marguerite Duras’ ars poetica through every medium of expression used by the writer: texts, films but also all kinds of interviews. The aim is to show that this ars poetica constructs itself in the writing process. There, the writing becomes metadiscourse, it is thought of as never-ending process of denaturation and rewriting and thus, it is confronted with the perpetual metamorphose of its form. This work will be based on the phenomena of the internal shade, the recurrent metamorphose of the metadiscourse and the original process of writing determined by the movement, the beginning of the end without ending. First, we will see that the paratext comments on the phenomena of writing but also allows a real work of creation. Then, we will show that her works whose generic nature is undecided and Marguerite Duras’ extraliterary practices contribute to transformthe place of writing into one of permanent movement, using a fundamental poetic alterity. Finally, the fictional texts will be studied through the notion of fiction that insinuates in the discourse and in the narrative and places the writing on a particularly instable zone, needing a necessary absence.

This is a collection of poems that are confrontations with the self – the self as a vessel of memory (hence the “Post” in the title, in addition to its double-meaning of “Post,” as in online self-revelation), as writer, as mother of a young child, as wife, as lover, writer, psyche, self-reflexive animal. The voice is private, heightened, direct, and colloquial, engaging in unexpected imagery, figurative language, and grammatical-play, and drawing from all levels of language and culture. The poems often record the process of trying to untangle the complexity of the self at the moment of writing, and they incorporate the particulars of the moment of writing, or associations at the moment of writing, as scaffolding for self-reflection. They are philosophical in a personal sense. Some of areas of concern explored or touched on in the poems include place, privilege, God, music, contradiction, ambivalence, the intersections of pain and pleasure, family, community, isolation, connection/disconnection, romantic love, gender, sexuality, victimization, morality language, and depression, but most of all, the state and degree and struggle for self-awareness vis-à-vis these issues. Most of these poems come through a self or a self-persona, and that self is a sensitive, even volatile character – through childhood, adolescence, marriage & martial separation, and motherhood. Often, in these poems, this self seeks refuge, escape, and redemption through language and through the body. The poet also explores form and poetic mode, in disrupted or reimagined narrative, villanelle, elegy, and sonnet form. / Master of Fine Arts
