| Abstract | |
From the perspective of this study Invenção de Orfeu is analyzed as a poetical extension of the previous poetry of Jorge de Lima; thus, all of his other books would be fragments of ¿a bigger¿ book, which is within Invenção de Orfeu. It is about the search of a utopian world, but of a utopia different from its original sense; in the works of this Brazilian poet, the search for the poetical perfection happens from the movement, in respect to the form as well as to the content, opposing the static perfection of the island of Thomas Morus. It is the search for the ¿Lost paradise¿ or for the origin associated with the utopian function of literature to change the world, throughout its verbal recreation, of the transcendental and the imaginary one. In this direction, this text intends to analyze Invenção de Orfeu as a possible ¿utopian¿ project of Jorge de Lima, evidenced for the theme/image of the ¿island¿, a metaphor key and agglutinant of its derivational thematic nuclei: infancy, the oneiric and the orphic (AU) | |
