Cora Coralina e a modernidade humanitária de “Todas as vidas”

Abstract

This study starts from the literary criticism of Cora Coralina, that considered modern and modernist traits in her poems, to investigate the humanitarian discourse constituted in the poem "Todas as vidas", from the book Poemas dos becos de Goiás e estórias mais. Our reading considers a trend in modern literature that takes a stand in the face of social injustice and reverses stigmas of subalternity, revealing the bad conscience of the world. The analyzes also note the convergence of Cora's poems with the resublimation contained in Flores do mal, from Charles Baudelaire (1985). Our reflections are based on the studies from: Sebástian Joachin (1999), Goiandira Ortiz de Camargo (2002; 2006), Darcy Denófrio (2006, 2017), Flávio Camargo (2018) Heloisa Marques Miguel (2006), Hugo Friedrich (1978), Antonio Candido (2011) and Gayatri Spivak (2010), among others.
