description | The contemporary poet’s relationship with the big city radicalized Baudelaire´s first perceptions. Instead of being a flâneur, the urban spectator passes by the traffic, on foot or by car, and sees the other people from a faster perspective, as an exacerbation of the sudden fulgurations of the XIXth century wanderer. Poems by José Paulo Paes, Sebastião Uchoa Leite and Ana Cristina César were selected because deal with this fortuitous meeting with a wider sense of time amidst displacement, as a sign of the possible “aura” still
experienced by the passerby. Although the poet also
moves swiftly, there is a widening of scope – an insight
that knocks out the lyrical subject (as it is noticed by Cortázar when he connects car, gun and photography to poetry and short story). The means of transportation can be metaphors of life in nowadays metropolis, symbolizing aspects of the fleeting experiences saved by the poet’s witness, which we as readers can share. |

The means of transportation can be metaphors of life in nowadays metropolis, symbolizing aspects of the fleeting experiences saved by the poet’s witness, which we as readers can share. A relação do poeta contemporâneo com a grande cidade radicalizou as primeiras percepções de Baudelaire. Em lugar do flâneur, o espectador urbano passa no trânsito, a pé ou de automóvel, e entrevê o outro de uma perspectiva mais veloz, como uma exacerbação das fulgurações súbitas do caminhante do século XIX. Escolhi poemas de José Paulo Paes, Sebastião Uchoa Leite e Ana Cristina César, que tratam do encontro fortuito com um sentido maior de tempo em meio ao deslocamento, como emblema da possível “aura” que ainda experimenta o passante. Embora o sujeito lírico também se mova rapidamente, há uma ampliação do quadro - uma revelação que o põe a nocaute (como lembra do Cortázar quando aproxima automóvel, revólver e fotografia, à poesia e ao conto). Os meios de transporte podem ser metáforas da vida na metrópole atual, simbolizando aspectos das experiências fugazes que o poeta salva pelo seu testemunho, e dos quais participamos como leitores. 2007-05-16 2022-03-18T16:20:10Z 2022-03-18T16:20:10Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/182 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61507 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/182/173 Copyright (c) 2007 Revista de Letras application/pdf Revista de Letras Revista de Letras Revista de Letras; Vol. 45 No. 1 (2005) Revista de Letras; v. 45 n. 1 (2005) 1981-7886 0101-3505 |
