DESPALAVRAS DO INÚTIL: Poesia e imagem em Manoel de Barros
Silence. Image. Useless. Poetry. Manoel de Barros.
Starting from the interpretation of Manoel de Barros' poetic production, this work seeks to read the silence, the images, and the useless in the work of this poet. For this, we will start from an approximation of such elements as a line of force to read his poems. Thus, having this objective as a driver of work, we will seek to analyze how the elements mentioned are present in the work of Manoel de Barros. In order to make it possible to better contemplate them, several fragments of the work of the aforementioned poet were selected, which are highlighted throughout the work. We wil resort, in particular, to the philosophers Maurice Blanchot and Roland Barthes to think about silence and some concepts that approach here as nothingness, emptiness, absence, and neutrality. Later, we will establish a dialogue between the philosopher Didi-Huberman and the poet Manoel de Barros to reflect on a reassembled, transitory image and that of the trapeze poet. Still using mainly Didi-Huberman, but in every text making the movement to invite other thinkers, we will verify the presence of the useless in the work of Manoel de Barros. Therefore, starting from articulation between silence, image, and uselessness, we will approach the literary project of the poet from Mato Grosso.
