"A natureza variável das palavras": A colagem poética na poesia de Carlos de Oliveira

Abstract

This researh studies how Carlos de Oliveira uses the poetic collage in the proccess of writting of two poems: “Retrato do autor por Camilo Pessanha (colagem)”, published in Terra de Harmonia (1950), and “Colagem com versos de Desnos, Maiakovski e Rilke”, published in Sobre o Lado Esquerdo (1968). We decided to chose those poems because both of them are collages, as we can know only by the title. In this study, the purpose is to find out how Carlos de Oliveira’s work dialogues with other author’s books, in order to create another text. Thus, we can see, as we are informed by the poem "Lavoisier", also published in Sobre o Lado Esquerdo, that each poem can, finally, dream another form, which reveals an intertextual aspect of Carlos de Oliveira’s poetry.
