Abstract

Poems by Marília Garcia (Río de Janeiro, 1979), Aníbal Cristobo (Buenos Aires, 1971), and Carlito Azevedo (Río de Janeiro, 1961) are examined in this paper as forms of contemporary visibility proposing in a persistent fashion the staging of the detail and of the fragment as a look that accounts for the lack, the rest and that, at the same time, delineates new spatialities and paths. This gaze sketches forms of nomadic wandering, between the journey and fictions of disaster; the jump, the loop, the blast are some of the principles of the trajectory (Bourriaud) as “operations that bind and unbind the visible and its signification” (Rancière) and offer new figurations of the eye between illness and technology.
