Versos modernos: a paisagem amazônica no imaginário poético de Adalcinda Camarão

Abstract

This study proposes a thematic analysis of some poems of the poet Adalcinda Magno Camarão Luxardo (1915-2005) taking into account aspects of the imaginary and the elements, images, symbols, places and landscape embedded and reflected on her poetic productions. The writer was born in the city called Muaná in Marajó Island, in Pará and entered on the cultural and literary Paraense scene as one of the few women who campaigned in the art world during this period. When she was still normalist, she became part of the student groups who fought in literary fronts. It is Important to mention that the author contributed to literary magazines which circulated in Belemense society in the first half of the twentieth century like: Guajarina, A Semana and Amazônia – which helped to spread her poetry, beyond she wrote for newspapers like: O diário and A Província, which demonstrate her insertion and importance for the literary scene of that time, under the auspices of the constitution of a local literary movement. Therefore, this research is focused on the thematic analysis of the Adalcinda poems that shown the relationship among imagery, images, symbols, place and landscape trying to make analogies with authors such as Gilbert Durand (1997), François Laplantine and Liana Trindade (1997), in a survey based on anthropology, Gaston Bachelard(2008), with his consideration of the poetic space and Milton Santos (2006), regarding the idea of landscape, still placing the phenomenological views on these issues through Sartre (1996).
