A poética do corpo na obra Linha-d'-água de Olga Savary

Abstract

This paper is an interpretation of the body and its interrelationships with eroticism and love, from a dialogue with the book Linha-d’Água (1987), by Olga Savary (1933). The hypothesis this research articulates the poetic transfiguration of the body under the symbolic element of water as a poetic-ontological staging of the principle of unity between man and nature. Through a hermeneutic approach (RICOEUR, 1990), it is perceived in the poems a opening for textual articulation of a being in the world (being-there), with respect to the dynamics of human existence. The work of art operates a poetic recreation of bodies in the prevailing presence of the water, so that the loving communion establishes an approximation of the human being with its origin as a possibility of reconciliation with nature (PAZ, 1994). To compose this dialogue, we oppose a ecofeminism reading, which understands this operation as a poetic expression of subjectivities related to issues of gender or social roles (SOARES, 1999). Through the erotic impetus, human bodies are compared to a donation of nature, understood as unveiling of what the Greeks called phýsis (HEIDEGGER, 1999). The verses of Linha-d'Água articulate a movement that breaks with the conceptual legacy of Platonic metaphysics, which established a division, that has deepened in the modernity, between man and his carnal condition, between man and the reality. Amid the incessant cyclical dynamics of phýsis, Man must recognize itself in the liquidity of your body the return to primordial basis; on the other hand, he also must assume its condition of being released on the incessant temporal flow. In Savary's work, the human horizon is reinserted, through bodily experience, in reconciliation with that original impulse of nature and, at the same time, with the own living nature of lovers.
