Abstract

It is proposed a research internship at the University of Porto for the writing of three essays that will compose part of the research in progress, namely the essays "Herberto Helder em extensão ameríndia", "Herberto Helder em extensão camoniana" and "Herberto Helder em (ex)tensão pessoana", whose aim is to situate Herbertian poetics in the tensions and continuities between community and singularity and their implications in terms of contemporary anchorage. The internship abroad also aims the fundamental bibliographical survey for the further development of another stage of the same study, in order to elaborate an ethics of transgression - based on Herberto Helder's poetics - as a consequence of the tension between community and singularity.
