METÁFORA INTERTEXTUAL NO ATLÂNTICO

Uma análise de personagens subalternizados de manoel de barros E mia couto

Abstract

This paper seeks to revisit the poetry of Manoel de Barros, the subject of a doctorate, but with the purpose of a comparative readin proposed by the research goup Africanities, literature and social minorities, whic aims to bring together the figures of social minorities constructe by the autodiegetic narrator, by the Mozambican Mia Couto (2009), and the wanderer who emerges in the figure of Bernardo da Mata, created by Manoel de Barros (1985-2004), based on Spivak’s concept of subalternity (2010). The minority figures appear absorbed by the lyrical subject himself and by the poetic image of isolation and differences between black and white subjects and beggars, wanderers and other subjects that would clash with the minority context. When thinking about these lyrical-narrative characters, an effusion of existentialist poetics is defended, both in the discursive threads in the short story “O mendigo Sexta-Feira Jogo no Mundial” from the work O fio das missangas, and in the threads intertwined in several manoelino texts, by For example, in Livro de pre-things, Livro sobre nada and Poems rupestres, where such personas are visible, dressed in an all-too-human feeling, leading the reader to think about their own existence, that is, being in the world from the perspective of the being of time, as proposed by Martin Heidegger (2006). As theoretical-methodological assumptions, the reading proposal will be used from the perspective of comparative literature, taking as its central axis the intertextuality absorbed in the intertextual metaphor.
