Abstract
This article reflects on the humanizing sense of art in the work of poet Dora Ferreira da Silva, based on her poem that deals with her disinterest in James Joyce’s Ulysses. Beyond exploration of her works that adopt the myths of Orpheu and Cassandra as the organizing and humanizing principal of her poetry, we recover a surprising text of Carl Gustav Jung on Joyce’s work. Through a critical-theoretical approach, this article investigates art as a construct of fictional experiences that reflect man in his temporality.
