THE CRITICAL READER IN THE POETRY OF MANUEL GUSM
Abstract
In the poetry of Manuel Gusmão, the reader is invited to actively participate in writing and reading scenes. To the poet-critic, the act of reading, understood as emancipatory and political practice, is sharing the aesthetic experience and the development of our sensitive-cognitive instances, beyond the world learning outside and inside the text. In this sense, our article aims to examine the critical reader configuration from three aspects present in that poetry – act of co-motion, epistemological construction and erratic tissue habitation. With this perspective, we turn to the theoretical-critical of Roland Bathes, Jacques Rancière and Eduardo Prado Coelho.
