Canonical phantasmagorias in the work De passa mas não a passeio: marginal peripheral literature deconstructing poeisis

Abstract

Peripheral literature spreads viscerally in the Brazilian literary system, by incorporating countless stylistic nuances, it effectively contributes to the creation of networks of thought that can resize important aspects with regard to the canon, the poet and poetry, or that is, to rethink the very condition of literature in the contemporary world. In this sense, our essay aims to analyze some of these theoretical transit conditions in the book De passa mas não a Passeio, by the poet Dinha, a representative name in peripheral literature written by women. The work, by evoking poets of canonical extraction, poses a series of questions about the machinery of the poetic text, as well as a discussion about what it means to be a poet, considering that the idea of ​​metapoetry is systematized throughout the book, creating thus an organic whole linking canonical elements with life experience, a central element in the identity design of this literature that reinscribes the standards legitimized by the canon.
