Abstract

CAN, Nazir Ahmed. Doxas, paradoxos e horizontes: o circuito secundário da poesia moçambicana em discussão. Diacrítica [online]. 2015, vol.29, n.3, pp.26-46. ISSN 0807-8967.

This article aims to reflect on the relationship between language, poetry and literary institutionalization in Mozambique. After some considerations about the national simile-field (i.e., the peripheral literary circuit), we will focus on Poemas em sacos vazios que ficam de pé, by Hélder Faife. In his first book the author proposes a kind of intersection between language and society: based on small prosodic variations (that gives an organic musicality to the verses) and morphosyntactic displacements (that suggests the human traffic), Faife presents some of the major contradictions of the Mozambican urban space.

Keywords : Mozambique; poetry; simile-field; language; society; Hélder Faife.
