Pio Vargas, collective being

a “quasi-body” in Anatomia do gesto

Abstract

The objective of this work is to carry out an analysis of the work Anatomia do gesto (1989, by the iporaense poet Pio Vargas (1964-1991). Vargas' critical fortune is almost entirely reduced to impressionist comments, marked by psychologism relative to the meteoric and tragic aspects of his life. With this, this work sought to carry out an analysis of the metapoetic relations between body and verse in the constitution of Anatomia do Gesture, materialized in the idea of “corpoquase”, present in the work. In this sense, the work was divided into three parts. Initially, the absence of extensive works on the poet is discussed, with emphasis on the predominance of impressionist comments. Next, we seek to locate Vargas' work in the tradition of modern poetry, specifically, the poetic production that began in the 1980s. poems. Finally, the analysis of Anatomia do gesto is carried out, seeking to understand the effects of the “bodyquase” materialized in the poems. As a theoretical contribution, among other works, Hugo Friedrich (1978), Octávio Paz (2014) and Marcos Siscar (2010).
