The body of God in critical state: a reading of Christianity in Camões’s lyric and Ruy Belo’s poems

Abstract

The present article is an analysis of the way Christian Historical Hermeneutics and the Christian model of corporeality were mobilized in Camões’s poetry and Ruy Belo’s poems. Our approach is based on the problem of the incarnation of Christ and its link to resurrection as constitutive elements of the Christian formulation of temporality, given the way in which Camões and Ruy Belo pervert them in their respective poetic procedures. We believe that the confrontation of the two poets with these aspects of Christianity produce poetic forms of great critical potential.--- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/abriluff.2017n18a397
