Shifting Frontiers--Manuel Bonfim and A América Latina : An Introduction

Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies, Mar 1, 2002

These four works represent a movement of historiographical revision, a radicalization of political perspective and a peculiar use of the ‘metaphor concept’ of parasitism, and of a genetic method that lies somewhere between biology and economic history, for globally investigating and interpreting the country and the continent. If these works single out Manuel Bonm’s thought within Brazil in the rst half of the twentieth century, they equally point to his close dialogue with the materials provided by the conditions of the age and by his personal experience of history.

Se, na ficção, tende-se a um tipo de narrativa semelhante ao documentário, reforçada muitas vezes por imagens fotojornalísticas, na poesia as relações com a difícil experiência da vida na grande cidade aparecem sob formas mais oblíquas, na figuração do paranóico à espreita em Sebastião Uchoa Leite, na instabilidade espacial e sensação de risco em Ângela Melim, Ítalo Moriconi e outros, na inderteminação e na procura da forma em Duda Machado - enfim, modos distintos de desterritorialização em face de uma vivência quase irrepresentável.The essay ponders on the tension that can be perceived in the difficulty in representing violent urban environments in contemporary Brazilian literature.

It deals with the contrasts between its three versions: the printed, that can be found in his book Despoesia, the oralized version, included in the compact disc Poetry is risk, and the videographic, produced by Flavia Soledade. The essay gives also a survey of its basic references (Melville, Morgenstern, Rilke, Scelsi, Malevitch, Rodtchenko, Baudelaire) and of its rollback to the subjects of the white, of the relations between sound and silence, color and vocal variations, recurrent themes in Campos' poetry since O rei menos o reino (1949- 1951). And, based on the dramatic monologue of moby-dick, that guides the poem, the study tries to bring to focus the representations of the voice, the tensions between duration and intensity, the iconic notation and an intensified awareness of the sonorous layer, the use of the monocrome and an enunciative oscillation, structural ele...

It tries to contrast close, direct accounts, works that register explicitly the violent and excluding elements of everyday life in large Brazilian cities, works based on duplication and representability, to some processes of defiguration and deterritorialization which are also structural to Brazilian contemporary literature, and function as particularly critical interlocutors of an urban experience of violence, instability and segregation. For, if an imaginary representation of fear and violence is what fundamentally organizes the dominant urban landscape of Brazilian contemporary literature, what is habitual in the more documentary and illustrative urban literature is not the unfolding of perspective but rather the criminalpathological cataloguing of places and human types, the fear of social heterogeneity, the criminalization of social divisions, th...
