A ESCRITA DO CORPO: POEMAS ERÓTICOS DE FLORBELA ESPANCA E GILKA MACHADO

Abstract

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE XX CENTURY, FLORBELA ESPANCA AND GILKA MACHADO, IN PORTUGAL AND IN BRAZIL, RESPECTIVELY, CREATE VERSES IN WHICH THEY GIVE VOICE TO THE FEMININE SENSUALITY, BY EMPHASIZING THE BODY AS THE PLACE WHERE THE PASSIONS COLLIDE. THIS ESSAY ARGUES ON THE POETIC WAYS IN WHAT THE EROTISM ITSELF BECOMES MANIFEST IN THE WORKS OF THESES POETESS, BESIDES SEARCHING INTO SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES THAT BROADEN THE LIMITS OF WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT THE FEMININE POETRY, AS WELL AS TO VALUE THE INDIVIDUALITY OF EACH WRITER AND THEIR WORKS.
