"POETRY WITH BLOOD AND HONEY TASTE": HISTORY, MEMORY AND METALANGUAGE IN RESISTANCE TRACKS: HISTORY, MEMORY AND METALANGUAGE IN RESISTANCE TRACKS

Abstract

This text aims to investigate the (meta) poetic language and the relationship presented between memory, history and literature in literary texts by the Bahian writer Camillo de Jesus Lima. The corpus for this clipping is formed by two poems by the author: “Que o coração diga tudo” and “A um Parnasiano”, part of the book Cantigas da Tarde Nevoenta (1955). For this, bibliographic sources are used, under the theoretical-methodological approach of historical-dialectical materialism. Some authors support both theoretical and methodological studies: Bosi (2000; 2015; 2017), Candido (2006), Chalhub (2005), Halbwachs (1968), Hobsbawm (2013) Le Goff (1990) and Marx; Engels (2010). In this way, the poems lead in their lines and hard lines critical to the alienation, insensitivity and to distancing from reality. Whether in the lyrical and soft verses of “May the heart say everything”, or in the harshness and rebelliousness of “A um Parnasiano”, the ideals of fighting against inhumanity, against the ideologies of the hegemonic social groups are expressed. The modern lyric, when returning on itself, tries to keep its objectives, its mission, its discontent with the history direction.
