Paisagem e viagem na poética de Cecília Meireles: espaço, lugar e topofilia

Abstract

This present work proposes to identify how the point of view of the poet gets Cecília Meireles close to the point of view of the geographer, that through an empirical experience opens the possibility of various readings about the experienced places. The dialogue between geography and literature allow us to unveil the horizons and learn every single detail that science and art provide in their environment so that we can also understand the human experience in the living world. Throughout the poetic universe of Cecilia Meireles in order to explore the theme of the journey in her poetry, we understand that the author was a traveler and her incredible descripitive-inerpretative look is perceived in Twelve nocturnes of the Netherlands, in the use of synesthesia in Journey and Vaga Musica, in the rescue of the historical-imagistic heritage of the Italian Poems, in the exuberance of the colors and human figures that form the identity of the East in Poems written in India, in the imagination wrapped by the dream-sensations in chronic Choose Your Dream. All these unique elements compose a poetry in scintillating verses that capture the essence of the landscape contemplated in his travels and figure permeated by topophilic feelings.
