Comunidade e tradição, melancolia e doença: tons e vozes da poesia de Inês Dias

Abstract

This thesis, which main purpose is investigating Inês Dias' poetry - contemporary Portuguese poet, will seek to achieve its goal drawing close to the studied work by different ways. The first of these is the location of the author's work in the panorama of contemporary Portuguese poetry, in a broad sense, written by women, putting her in dialogue with other authors – as well as other voices of her generation, even if they are not feminine. Furthermore, there are some crucial aspects in the development of the work: the absence (or little presence) of irony in Inesian poetics, which probably indicates a different confrontation with the world, since this work does not fail to point out aspects of the reality that surrounds it, established in the encounter, but also in the difference related to those who also write at that time and the reflections on community, tradition, voice, melancholy and illness. These last two topics can be considered especially important in the sensitive tradition of the West, and Inês Dias revisits and resizes them, articulating them with other problems, such as love, death, and language
