Ana Cristina César: o corpo na dobra da poesia
Ana Cristina Cesar. Literature. Body. Writing. Subjectivity
In Brazil, during the seventies, different artistic expressions suggest that the meaning of the artwork occurs in the interaction between object and artist and audience’s bodies. Marginal poets propose writing as an experiment beyond significance and subjectivation. This means thinking writing as an event: that which introduces difference in History. Thus, we propose to follow, in Ana Cristina Cesar’s writing, the construction of a rhizome between life and writing. We approach the poems of Poética (2013), especially in the book A teus pés (1988). For this purpose, we deploy the perspective of lines, since they are opposed to the punctual history-memory system. The specific syntax of that writing expresses a choice for the movement, for becoming, not being determined in a representational system. The following items contribute for the analysis: the concepts of “faceness”, “rhizome” and “becoming” (DELEUZE; GUATTARI, 2012); Ana Cristina Cesar’s critical discussion about the incommunicability of experience and the exploitation of authorial figure by the official culture (CESAR, 1999); the reflection on literature-life relationship (DELEUZE, 2011); movement-image in cinema (DELEUZE, 1986), time and event (DELEUZE apud PELBART, 2004); the concept of “instant of the act” (CLARK, 1980).
