De Goiás ao Alentejo: a po-ética em José Godoy Garcia e Manuel da Fonseca

Abstract

This thesis proposes to investigate social, political and ethical aspects of the poetic works of José Godoy Garcia and Manuel da Fonseca, which contemplate the perspective of the less favored people. Starting from theoretical and critical research about the literary movements the writers are affiliated, modernism and neorealism, respectively, as well as the poets, we tried to verify how the po-ethics of José Godoy and Manuel da Fonseca open up to otherness, denouncing contexts of oppression and resisting the challenges of the world. This research also aims to observe how the socio-historical context influences each author's work and analyze how this poetry committed to the community gives voice to individuals from less economically favored classes, with a view to denouncing an oppressive reality. The methodology of this study is bibliographical research and critical analysis of poems from the works Poesia, by José Godoy Garcia (1999) and Obra poética, by Manuel da Fonseca (1984). As a theoretical contribution, texts that consider poetry as a response to social contradictions will be used, such as “Palestra sobre lírica e Sociedade”, by Theodor Adorno, “Poetry and Resistance”, by Alfredo Bosi, and “Literatura e Sociedade”, by Antonio Candido, in addition to research related to the literary movements in which Godoy and Fonseca participate and critical texts linked to them.
