Abstract

The present project aims investigating the production of the french poet Jean Grosjean (1912 - 2006) in order to discuss the relation between poetry and landscape, based on the french researcher Michel Collot (1986; 1988; 2005a; 2005b; 2011; 2013). The work chosen for investigation is the book of poems entitled Nathanaël (1996), which is divided in four sections ("Runes", "Un jonc pour mesure", "La voile du temple", e "Ils ont paru mourir "), totalizing 121 poems, presented in verses and versicles. Dissonant of the poet overall production, given his predilection to explicit rewriting of the Bible, Nathanaël features short poems with pronounced proverbial notes and pholosophical aspect. It is remarkable in the book shades both of humility, in virtue of the images presented, and solemns, face to the apparent impersonality of the poetic discourse. The selection of the work of investigation is due to the distinction given to the landscape as producer of meaning in the book. In order to discuss the potential meanings of landscapes in poetry, we shall start with the interpretation, in the selected corpus, of the imagetic horizon as well as its constitutive resources, as point of view, its gaps and highlights (COLLOT, M., 1986). Then we shall investigate attentively the relation imbricated in the landscape between poetic subject and temporality. We shall seek verifying in the book (1) which are the landscape potentialities of meanings as expression of the relation between the subjects and time, and (2) comprehend the ways of binding, in the poetic weaving, time and space. Given the vastness of such themes, we chose to base this project on an interdisciplinary study that approaches Michel Collot's poetic landscape theory and the german philosopher Martin Heidegger's considerations, mainly in Bein and Time (2006), as legitimized by the french critic phenomenological approach. We seek, therefore, to understand Nathanaël poetic landscape as the place of aproximating the reader and being's finitude. (AU)
