Nuances da poética de Ascenso Ferreira: um recorte temático em poemas homônimos do autor pernambucano.

Abstract

This research aims to study the homonymous poetry of Ascenso Ferreira, author born in Palmares, Pernambuco, whose work focused on the countryside outlook in all its nuances, from its people to its culture and its habits. Our research question was: 1) How the themes found in the poetry of Ascenso Ferreira can contribute to the resumption of research on the author's work?. The methodology used in this study is characterized as bibliographic since our research is based on the poems which constitute the author's books. Regarding to our analysis, we based this research on some theorists that deal with Ascenso Ferreira in biographical sense, such as Correya ( 2005) and Aires Franceschini (2003), on Ascenso regarding to his poetry style as Milliet (1995), Bandeira (1995) and Costa e Silva (2008), on the literary aesthetic as Bosi (2013) and about Ascenso being a popular poet as Ribeiro (1987). Our analysis was divided into two sections, in the first one we could observe that the poetics of the author born in Pernambuco occurs such that by comparing the author’s homonym poems, it can be observed that the theme can be totally different so that if on one side there may be a homonymous poem that has a theme, it is not necessary that on the other side, we find the same theme, as is the case with Mysticism and Mysticism nº 2, but there is a continuity with the same theme, as in Xenhenhém e Xenhenhém nº 2. Regarding to the second section, we could observe that there are approximations and distancing in the poetry of Ascenso when compared to an eponymous poem by another author, Oswald de Andrade. As final considerations, we concluded that the poetry of Ascenso Ferreira can be considered as plural regarding to both thematic as formal point of view and that it should and can be studied by theorists from various fields of knowledge for, precisely, being plural both historically as culturally. We also concluded that we responded to our questions since the poetry of Ascenso is revealed to be so plural, it could not be silenced for so long and the themes are one of the factors for this silence to be settled and poetry may be placed back in evidence in the Brazilian literary study.
