O mar em Sophia: poética, tempo e memória

Abstract

It s this research objective to analyze Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen s Five poetic arts, taking them as a guideline to reveal the poetic journeys developed by the author, which we believe to set a poetics, aesthetics and ethical project noted on the production of her work. In order to establish our reflections, we start from the premise that, in Sophian s work, the sea is a key element on her poetic production, since it covers not only the memorial aspects from Portuguese navigations and Greek Myths, but also it relates to the author s self remembrances from the childhood, which is notably engraved on her poetry-making in a permanent way. Poetry and poetic reflections support this work, such as the ones set by Tinianov and Octavio Paz, matters related to time learnt from Henri Bergson s readings, as well as propositions about memory and time-memory set by Ecléa Bosi. The research results emphasize the relevance of the sea as a theme in Sophia s poetry, especially as a tool to trigger the memory and reframes it in no-time , from listening to the many voices it echoes
