Previous issue date: 2013-04-05 / The exponential figure of Greg?rio de Matos e Guerra has been subject of many theoretical
discussions through the years, since his apparition in a public place, in the 19th century, and
even more, during the 20th century, when he was salvaged by the modernist vanguard. As a
result, there are yet two antagonist points of view linked to Greg?rio de Matos, on one side,
there some researchers who defend him, on the other, some of them attack him. The first ones
say this poet from Bahia was the first literary voice in Brazil, from the Baroque basis, while
the last ones say he is a merely plagiarist of the Spanish poets from the 17th century, without a
real contribution to the development of Brazilian Literature. With this in mind, this thesis
follows the perspective this poet is an anthropophagus-baroque, devouring cultures, with an
active participation in the process of our cultural and literary identity. For that reason, it was
made a literature review about the biography of this poet trying to break romantic
descriptions, emphasizing some scientific facts that can contribute to present the baroque
profile of this poet. In this sense, it was discussed the History of Literature focused on this
creole poet, mainly based on the historians point of view about the Gregorian poetry in the
formation of Brazilian Literature scenery. In the defense of the hypothesis that Greg?rio de
Matos was our first anthropophagus, this work aims to analyze how his poetry reveals the
intrinsic characteristics of Baroque and Anthropophagy, focusing its carnivalesque aspect,
showing to the world, with a satiric tone, the idiosyncrasies of human life. In this way,
analyzing this corpus in Spanish is the strength of this thesis because, besides it is previously
unpublished, it contributes to the comprehension of the anthropophagy as a theoretical
mechanism that explains the process of formation of our cultural literary identity. Then, we
have Augusto de Campos (1968; 1978; 1984; 1986; 1988), Haroldo de Campos (1976; 2010a;
2010b; 2011), Severo Sarduy ([1988?]), Oswald de Andrade (1945; 1978; 2006), Mikhail
Bakhtin (2010), Octavio Paz (1979), Segismundo Spina (1980; 1995; 2008), Afr?nio
Coutinho (1986a; 1986b; 1994), Affonso ?vila (1994; 1997; 2004; 2008), among others, to
constitute this theoretical scenery. The Gregorian poetry, in this way, have contributed to the
formation of baroque-anthropophagic scenery in Brazilian boundaries, with a special attention
to the transition of time, because he is not only from the 17th century, established by the
historiography, but his work is present nowadays due to the contemporaneously of his themes,
centered to the eternal doubts of baroque man / A figura exponencial de Greg?rio de Matos e Guerra tem sido motivo de muitas discuss?es
te?ricas ao longo dos anos, desde o seu aparecimento em pra?a p?blica, no s?culo XIX, e
ainda mais, no s?culo XX, quando foi resgatado pela vanguarda modernista. Resultado disso,
ainda existem dois lados antag?nicos quando se trata de Greg?rio de Matos, os que o
defendem e os que o acusam. Os primeiros defendem a posi??o de que o poeta baiano foi a
primeira voz liter?ria no Brasil, al?ada sob as bases do Barroco, e os outros o acusam de ser
ele um mero imitador dos poetas espanh?is do s?culo XVII, sem, portanto, ter contribu?do
significativamente para a forma??o da Literatura Brasileira. Esta tese, por sua vez, segue o
pensamento daqueles que defendem o poeta como barroco-antropof?gico, devorador de
culturas, com participa??o ativa no processo de forma??o da nossa identidade cultural e
liter?ria. Para esse fim, foi feito um rastreamento das biografias do poeta a fim de que muitas
das descri??es rom?nticas ali presentes fossem desromantizadas dando ?nfase aos aspectos
biogr?ficos mais cient?ficos que contribu?ssem para compor o perfil do poeta barroco. Nesse
mesmo sentido, foi discutido o olhar da Hist?ria da Literatura sobre o poeta mazombo,
especificamente observando a posi??o dos historiadores sobre a poesia gregoriana no cen?rio
da forma??o da Literatura Brasileira. A fim de defender a hip?tese de que Greg?rio de Matos
foi nosso primeiro antrop?fago, este trabalho procurou observar como seus poemas revelam
as caracter?sticas intr?nsecas do Barroco e da Antropofagia, com evid?ncia na sua vertente
carnavalizante, expondo ao mundo, satiricamente, os interst?cios da vida humana. E nesse
percurso, a an?lise do corpus em espanhol ? um dos pontos altos da tese porque, al?m de ser
in?dita, contribui para a compreens?o da antropofagia como mecanismo te?rico que explica a
forma??o da nossa identidade liter?rio-cultural. Assim, s?o convidados para compor a cena
te?rica Augusto de Campos (1968; 1978; 1984; 1986; 1988), Haroldo de Campos (1976;
2010a; 2010b; 2011), Severo Sarduy ([1988?]), Oswald de Andrade (1945; 1978; 2006),
Mikhail Bakhtin (2010), Octavio Paz (1979), Segismundo Spina (1980; 1995; 2008), Afr?nio
Coutinho (1986a; 1986b; 1994), Affonso ?vila (1994; 1997; 2004; 2008), entre outros. A
poesia gregoriana, sob esse aspecto, contribuiu para a composi??o do cen?rio barrocoantropof?gico
em solo brasileiro, com sentido especial para o car?ter transtemporal que lhe ?
dado, uma vez que n?o est? s? no Seiscentos, nas amarras da historiografia, mas tamb?m est?
presente hoje na atualidade de seus temas, ancorados pela eterna d?vida do homem barroco
