Palavra e imagem: as instâncias do silêncio em Invenção de Orfeu e nos experimentos pictóricos de Jorge de Lima

Abstract

This work studies the poetic in Invention of Orfeu, Jorge de Lima, and looks for to trace a intersemiotical relation between parts of the poem and some pictorial productions of the author. Considering the workmanship a symbolic universe, it searchs to unmask the existing paradox around silence and of the words, in a metapoetics analysis, aiming at to the joint between word/silence and silence/painting. It tries to trace the passage of the poetical tradition, since Aristotle until works on the structure of modern lyrics, where Invenção de Orfeu if fits. For this, the workmanship of Hugo Friedrich was basic. In the studied text, the poet, such which Orfeu, god of music and the poetry, is launched in a trip to the search of the self-knowledge and the poetical inspiration. In an attempt to disclose sensible in a workmanship full of stylistic artifices, the presence of silence gained prominence. It was analysed like the area of the meaning, as the Emptiness of Mallarmé or the Nothing of Rimbaud, product of the metric one, of mimesis, metaphor, intertextual dialog among works, intersemiotics and a cosmogonical idea of the poem, as a synthesis of the human being literary trajectory. The ideas of Júlio Plaza had given base for the analysis of some excerpts of the poem in intersemiotical dialogue with screens of the author, evidencing that word, form and silence reverberate multiple meanings. Texts of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Carlos Drummond de Andrade had also contributed for this dialogue. The result of the research was the briefing of important questions of literary praxis, showing that word and silence are also transforming and integrative forces in art
