vivendo de hora em hora: sobre a geração mimeógrafo brasileira & a Nuvem Cigana

Abstract

Bearing in mind the Brazilian dictatorial regime (1964-1985) and the consequences of its governance, the ‘geração dita marginal’ tried to get rid of the artificial machinations and tried to dissolve the trauma of a young generation disturbed by the limitation of their experiences, especially when exposed to the values of counterculture. This article intends to reflect about the (con)text of the “geração mimeógrafo” ("Mimeograph Generation", out-of-the-mainstream poets of the time who used the mimeograph machine to print texts), and to show how this poetry, produced by "thousand hands", borrowing Cacaso’s expression, challenged the poet's authorial figure and the political and ideological panorama of the 70's in Brazil.
