Principles for the study of the marginal poetry materialities

Abstract In this paper, I propose a study about the materialities of the marginal poetry. Since the exhibition “Marginal Poetry: word and book”, in 2013, promoted by the IMS, and the FLIP 2016, in which Ana Cristina Cesar was chosen as the honored author, the marginal poetry has returned to the spotlights of the Brazilian cultural scene. The title of the IMS exhibition rightly suggests the organic relation between the marginal poem and its materiality. However, this is not reflected in the critical fortune of this poetry, which perhaps results from the fact that field studies on the materialities of literature are still incipient in Brazil. Thus, this paper aims to accomplish a critical review of the marginal poetry from the perspective of the materialities of literature. Thereby it is intended both to undo commonplaces of criticism and to promote a necessary re-reading of this poetry, since although its mode of production based on self-publishing is always suggested, its implications have not yet been properly recognized.

摘要 本文针对边缘诗歌的物质性展开研究。2013年由IMS主办的"边缘诗歌：文字与书籍"展览，以及2016年FLIP将安娜·克里斯蒂娜·塞萨尔（Ana Cristina Cesar）选为年度致敬作家以来，边缘诗歌重回巴西文化界的视野中心。IMS展览的标题恰如其分地点明了边缘诗歌与其物质性之间的有机关联，但这一点并未在该类诗歌的批评接受史中得到体现——这或许源于巴西学界在文学物质性领域的研究仍处于起步阶段。有鉴于此，本文旨在从文学物质性的视角，对边缘诗歌开展批判性评述，以期破除批评界的固有成见，推动对该类诗歌的必要再解读：尽管其基于自主出版的创作模式常被提及，但其蕴含的深层意蕴尚未得到充分认知。
