WOMEN, MARGINALS AND BEGGARS IN POEMAS DOS BECOS DE GOIÁS E ESTÓRIAS MAIS, BY CORA CORALINA
Poetry. Marginalized. Alley. Cora Coralina.
This study brings as a research object the book Poema dos Becos de Goiás and Estórias Mais (1965), by Cora Coralina, and intends to investigate, in poetry, representations of marginalized people, of the metaphorical spaces of the alley, in addition to characterizing the poet herself as a intellectual. The research offers subsidies to understand the character engaged as part of the resources of Coraline poetics, using, in this investigation, the theoretical assumptions about feminism and oppression by Beauvoir (2016), in O Segundo Sexo, and Juliet Mitchell (1979), in Psychoanalysis and feminism and Women. To analyze the space of the alley as a social space of exclusion, we sought theoretical support in the studies of Antonio Candido, in Literature and Society (2000), in addition to Alfredo Bosi (2000), in O ser e Tempo na Poesia, and Dialética from colonization (1992), Lyotard (1988) and Bauman (2017) on contemporaneity, White (1985) and Hutcheon (1991) regarding the historical character of literature. In this way, the study allows for a critical analysis of the complexity of the situation of the marginalized present in history and poetry.
