Lar, (2009) de Armando Freitas Filho: uma autobiografia do absurdo

Abstract

This dissertation focuses on the reading of Lar, (2004 2009), by Armando Freitas Filho, a Brazilian poet, and it intends to investigate its composition, whose proposal is to conceive a lyrical autobiography. Author of many books, Armando, in his last work, seeks for the reading and the writing of himself, going through the past in order to review experiences and situations which give him ways of dealing with the present, enabling him to create reflections that concern time, poetry, life and death. The purpose of our study is the investigation of the contemporary poetry and also the questions that involves memory and subjectivity. Therefore, we analyze the three sections of the book: Primeira série , Formação and Numeral . Based on this work, we can propose a revision of the following notions: autobiography and memory, which enable the author to write about himself, who finds in the infinite the nonsense possibility to be and to live.
