ABSTRACT

In this thesis, we present a study of autobiography in the books Lar (2009), Dever (2013), and Rol (2016) by the Rio de Janeiro poet Armando Freitas Filho. Using predominantly lyrical language, we undertake an analysis that explores how autobiography is interwoven with poetic discourse and examines the consequences of this relationship for the reading of his poems. A key point we address is how the notion of the machine, in its metaphorical sense, shares characteristics and methods with Freitas Filho’s poetry—a comparison explicitly drawn in many of his poems. Central to this discussion are questions that reflect the condition of contemporary poetry. Freitas Filho’s poetics, situated within the current literary context, resonate with aspects of postmodern production, which supports the central theme of this thesis. Our research approach focuses on the ways in which Freitas Filho’s poetry conveys a sense of the elusiveness or ungraspability of language, raising the question of whether poetry can truly capture reality, both broadly and in relation to autobiography and the reconstruction of memory. This fleeting quality of representation extends to the autobiographical elements embedded in the poems, which, despite their referential tone, share in the nature of the real. We argue that autobiography should be read as an integral part of the poetic fabric, without ceasing to function as autobiography. Scholars of contemporary poetry, without seeking to rigidly classify it, often point to a tension regarding tradition and reality—one that today presents itself as both prolific and ephemeral. These issues frame and inform our analysis throughout this work. Accordingly, this study, which investigates the relationships between poetry, life, and the machine in Lar, Dever, and Rol, draws on critical and theoretical works addressing lyrical structure, particularly the ideas of Antonio Candido, Octavio Paz, Mario Chamie, T.S. Eliot, Hans Robert Jauss, Johannes Pfeiffer, and Gaston Bachelard. We also engage with critical studies focused on Armando Freitas Filho’s poetry, including those by Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda, Marcelo Diniz, Renan Nuernberger, and Mario Alex Rosa; analyses of the relationship between literature and autobiography, as developed by Evando Nascimento, Leonor Arfuch, Diana Klinger, Milena Magalhães, and Claudia Chalita de Azevedo; inquiries into memory and its relationship to writing, drawing on the work of Jacques Derrida and Jeanne Marie Gagnebin; and, finally, reflections on the contemporary literary and lyrical landscape as proposed by Giorgio Agamben, Marcos Siscar, Alberto Pucheu, Florencia Garramuño, Luciana di Leone, Goiandira de F. Ortiz Camargo, among others.
