Signos incógnitos: marcas da poética de João Cabral na obra de Ana Cristina Cesar

Abstract

The study aims to identify some possible marks from João Cabral de Melo Neto s poetic in the work of Ana Cristina Cesar. Belonging to the group of poets who became known in the mid- 1970s, as mimeograph generation or group of marginal poetry , the author of A Teus Pés, as well as their other companions, claimed publicly that she was producing a poetry anticabralina par excellence . However, her work seems to contradict these statements, by means of a tense dialogue and deviant although of incorporation and simultaneous refusal with Cabral s poetry, which motivated the carioca poet, including, to rewrite, on her own manner, various poems of João Cabral. This research investigates and analyzes these issues, revises part of the critical fortune of both authors and performs a history of cultural panorama carioca of the time. On a theoretical plane, are used mainly concepts of the theory of influence and the map of misreading, formulated by Harold Bloom, as well as the ideas of freudian verneinung and the movement of textual absorption/destruction, described by Julia Kristeva. It was adopted as methodology the comparative analysis of certain texts of the studied poets
