Poesia e ecologia na obra de Adélia Prado

Abstract

This dissertation focuses on understanding the interweaving of poetry with Ecology through the ideas of Michel Deguy (2010), who states that poetry is a way of inhabiting the Earth and that Ecology is the study of the “home.” In other words, poetry provides insight into the dwelling of living beings on Earth. For the research development, the ecocritical studies approach was used, based on the following works: Ecocriticism (2006) by Greg Garrard; Ecology and Poetry (2010) by Michel Deguy; The three Ecologies (2012) by Félix Guattari; Ecology: Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor (2015) by Leonardo Boff; and Ecosophy (2021) by Michel Maffesoli. The research objects come from the collection of poems of Adélia Prado: Poetry Reunited (2017). Continuing the theoretical framework: The Bow and the Lyre: (2012) by Octavio Paz; The Being and the Time of Poetry (2000) by Alfredo Bosi; Literature and Society (2006) by Antonio Candido and The Open Work (1991) by Umberto Eco, with the aim of reinterpreting Adélia Prado’s poetry through an ecocritical understanding. Thus, the intention of this work is to highlight the connections between human beings and the elements of nature, themselves, and society.
