A Língua Política e a Política Poética na Poesia Encarnada de Alex Simões

Abstract

In an interdisciplinary dialogue, our goal is to observe how the poetic work of Alex Simões contributes to the redefinition of a type of poetry that aims at being political. A “politics of poetry” then takes shape in the footsteps of Jacques Rancière and his “politics of aesthetics”, taking political perspective as a critique of the present and a desire for transformation, from a relation to the real, a production of meaning and its own conception of the spectator. Based on queer-frontier references, the authors recognize a politics of poetry in its aesthetic dimension, in hybrid processes between politics of difference and aesthetics, which serve as new policies of subjectivation.
