Expressões eróticas da poesia feminina em Crostácea, de Joana Corona

Abstract

Through the concepts of continuity, discontinuity, transgression, interdiction, sacred and profane developed by Bataille (1987), two of Crostácea’s poems were analyzed in this work. It is investigated how, in the poems entitled “contracarne” and “imersão”, eroticism is manifested by the way how the lyric persona seeks its partner’s physical presence. In this context is also studied how the presence of the female view is able to interfere in the construction of the erotic text. For there to be a junction between the theoretical analysis and the unfoldings of the female perspective in poetry, the use of texts, inter alia, Soares (2000) and Bataille (1987) and Paz (1984, 1994) was indispensable and productive. As a result, it was possible to notice that the two poems of Joana Corona analyzed here present the erotic theme by the characteristic of representing the human need to escape from loneliness. Regarding the female voice in erotic poetry, the opposition to poems of male authors hip is evidenced, given the complexity and multiplicity of erotic images developed by female authors.
