Literatura e imaginário em “Leito de folhas verdes”

Abstract

The poetic text is the place of esthesias/esthetics, in which what matters is to consider in its analysis the referencialization and production of images, processes responsible for the effects of sense. So, the demarcation of the subject used to analyze the text “Leito de folhas verdes” provides a methodological issue: is the dialogue between literature and imaginary relevant to unveil the intricacies of the speech in Goncalves Dias? It is proposed as a response to take into account that the articulation of Literature and the Anthropology of the Imaginary is a path that is going to lead to discover, in the narrative of Gonçalves Dias, the particular and specific existence of a fruition that shows the process of the poet to organize his reflection and sensitivity to glimpse the imaginary of indigenous women. This question motivates the analysis of the poem “Leito de folhas verdes”, articulating it whit the approach from Durand’s of anthropological path of imaginary. The nucleating point of analysis shows, therefore, that those are the symbolic components from the speech of Gonçalves Dias that leads to understand his narrative.
