Orientador: Omar Khouri / Banca: José Leonardo do Nascimento / Banca: Julio Mendonça / Resumo: Este trabalho traça, a partir de consulta da bibliografia sobre a poesia concreta e de pesquisa de materiais inéditos em acervos de bibliotecas, a trajetória da poesia concreta em sua relação com a música de vanguarda. Procurando dar ênfase ao viés histórico desta relação, esta dissertação assume a discussão acerca do verso - que posteriormente se converteria na proclamação do fim verso na poesia - entendida como uma discussão sobre ritmo e musicalidade, como ponto fundador da relação poesia concreta-música. Num segundo momento, esta dissertação passa pela fase heróica da poesia concreta, onde ocorrem os primeiros recitais de oralização com poemas concretos. Por fim, chegamos à década de 1960, onde é criado o Música Nova, grupo de compositores que porá em música poemas concretos através de uma operação de transposição intersemiótica. / Abstract: This work presents, based on the bibliography about the concrete poetry and in researches on libraries looking for unreleased documents, the trajectory of concrete poetry and it relationship with avant-garde music. Trying to give emphasis on a historic-based view of this dialogue, this dissertation assumes the discussion on verse - the later would become the end of the verse postulate - understood as a discussion about rhythm and musicality as the foundation of the relation concrete poetry-music. On a second moment, this dissertation deals with the heroic period of concrete poetry, when the first recitals and oralizations of concrete poems occur. At last, this work makes an approach at the 60's, when the Música Novais created, a group of composers that will set concrete poems on music, through an intersemiotic transposition operation. / Mestre

My dissertation, “The Objectification of Poetry: Textiles, Maps, Documents, and Margins in the Postwar American Avant-Garde,” charts the ways poets understand and articulate how history works through their study of material objects. I trace how the material contours of these objects inform and inflect habits of reading by constituting a privileged kind of poetic form, building first on their physical attributes before opening into the metaphorical implications and resonances of the objects in literary study. I have termed my readings “objectifications” because they offer an active account of how material objects come to be understood and used, and the political and ethical implications of their various applications. Within and across the chapters, I argue that material objects help readers rethink the relationship between language and the world it seeks to describe. My use of the term “objectification” captures both a process and a result, interrogating objects not as simple tools but as dynamic systems of signification that reveal unstable relations between subjects and objects. My project demonstrates that the avant-garde’s objectification of poetry is an indispensable principle of language: the diverse materialities of textiles, maps, documents, and margins shape these poems’ syntactic structures and internal relations, composing the hidden yet vital conceptual-material latticework upon which their words hang.
