Autoria e subjetividade lírica em Manoel de Barros: estudo sobre os elementos paratextuais

Abstract

Manoel de Barros (1916-), a poet born on Cuiabá (MT) and long-established on Corumbá (MS), sets from his first book Poemas concebidos sem pecado (Poems conceived without sin), published on 1937, the formal search and the language renovation as the mainly arguments of his lyric poetry. Thus, his poetry stands a very peculiar way of dealing with the language, based on neologism\'s creation and on the denial of common uses of some words. Besides, regarding the poem\'s form, his lyric voice uses structural elements, like poems\' form and paratexts, to place a reflection about the lyric representation and some of the tradicional roles in this process: lyric subjectivity, autoral figure, characters (named here as personas), among others. The spaces occupied by this roles on the poem\'s body, as well as the restrictions of lyric genre are unfurl, expanded and deconstructed, to serve the constant form investigation, demanded by Barros\' poetical proposal. This study is going to analyze the importance of paratexts to Barros\' lyric, as well as to the lyric subjectivity and autoral figure configuration. The paratexts of greater recurrence and relevancy of his poetry are going to be anilyzed, among these, footnotes, didaskalias, epigraphs, adivinhas, proverbs, illustrations, among others. Also, the interviews, granted by the poet over the years, are going to be analyzed, as they are considerated here as a paratext that duplicates and continues the poetical opus, allowing the construction of a ficcional autoral figure, blended with the lyric voice.
