description | Based on the assumptions of Marxist aesthetics, this article presents an analysis of the poems “Diamba,” “Mucama” and “Favela no. 2” from the book Urucungo (1932) by Raul Bopp in an attempt to show how the aesthetic form of those poems represents the social process of black slavery in Brazil up until the liberation of slaves and their rise in the capitalist class society. It demonstrates the relationship between literary form and social content, mainly in the configuration of the lyrical subject who narrates the history of the African black on Brazilian territory from the perspective of the oppressed. For that purpose, the lyrical subject moves along a historiographic path that demonstrates that the colonial past is renewed in the present, resulting in the oppression of blacks even after the abolition of slavery. |

Partindo dos pressupostos da estética marxista, este artigo apresenta a análise dos poemas “Diamba”, “Mucama” e “Favela n. 2”, do livro Urucungo (1932), de Raul Bopp, na tentativa de evidenciar como a forma estética dos poemas representa o processo social da escravidão do negro no Brasil até sua libertação e ascensão na sociedade de classes capitalista. A relação entre forma literária e conteúdo social será evidenciada, principalmente, na configuração do sujeito lírico que narra a história do negro africano em terras brasileiras a partir da perspectiva do oprimido. Para isso, o sujeito lírico traça um percurso historiográfico que demonstra que o passado colonial é reatualizado no presente, resultando na continuação da opressão contra os negros mesmo depois da abolição da escravatura. 2019-12-28 2022-03-17T18:04:51Z 2022-03-17T18:04:51Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/ls/article/view/46653 10.23925/ls.v22i40.46653 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/50365 por https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/ls/article/view/46653/31121 Copyright (c) 2018 Lutas Sociais application/pdf Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo Lutas Sociais; v. 22 n. 40 (2018): 130 anos da abolição - cativeiro acabou?; 79-93 2526-3706 1415-854X 10.23925/ls.v22i40 |
