The Paulo Henriques Britto’s “Epiphanies” and a “Plucking out the Eyes” Poetry

Abstract

In this paper, we will rely to philosophers’ and literary critics’ essays in order to formulate a critical reading of Paulo Henriques Britto’s poetry that would address its relation with some aesthetical issues. This relationship is built by a subversion of the concepts of subject and object. Thus, this feature led us to conceive some other use relations involving his poetry. Indeed, this concept invites other approaches related to the poetry’s specificity as a way to see the world beyond the senses. This transmuted/relativized perception of objects carries a remarkable exigence in Paulo Henriques Britto’s poetry: to show an apparent ordinary life as a stage where crisis can be understood as a substrate for an aesthetic reflection.

Keywords:
