Encenações da escrita nos textos de Adília Lopes

Resumen

Poems and narrative-fragments by Adília Lopes relate to an intense interaction with the composition of death and a significant displacement of its representation from the domain acclaimed by the tradition – that of flowers, bones and shells –as for the realm of writing materials. Moreover, it is in this very displacement, that disassociates the mise-en-scène of the relation between writing and desire away from the context of nature, which consists of the singularity of the Portuguese poet. In fact, the disturbing confusion of the esthetic postures, the practical and the magically-religious ones, delineated in the ambit of the Prague Linguistic Circle by Jan Mukarovski, is represented in numerous texts by Adília Lopes which narrate apparently ordinary facts, pointing to the dangers of the totalitarian pseudo-rationality. In fact, the renunciation of the arbitrary character of sign, typical of the magical function, is also characteristic of some states of the psychotic delirium, which seeks brutal gratifications of aggressive impulses. Thus, the denunciation of the enfeeblement of the esthetic function’s efficacy in favour of the magical function, characteristic of the superstition, becomes the focus of her demanding poetics, in which the logic of metonymy and the negative referenciality prove to be the indispensable instruments of the subjective resistance.
