A LEITURA DO ESPAÇO EM POESIAS DE CECÍLIA MEIRELES: UMA ABORDAGEM BACHELARDIANA

Abstract

This work brings some reflections about the studies carried out on imagination, space and reverie, concepts based on the works of the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard (1988; 1989), which reflect on the immersion of the reader in literary creations, among them, poetry. In order to exemplify these considerations, an analysis of the poems "Canção da tarde no campo" and “Narrativa”, present in Vaga música (1942), by Cecília Meireles. The methodology used consists of a bibliographic research and analysis of poems, observing its relationship with poetic creation and the spaces created by our imagination. When finding the poems, the reader is faced with the universe of Cecilia and, at the same time, with his own identity, a moment when words constitute the creation of the poetic space, from which countless resonances can emerge. The results of the research converge with the idea that it is through the creative power of language that the human being is able to recreate himself and his reality, realizing that the world also presents itself as a space that can be transformed. Such statements show that poetry is present in the subtleties of everyday life and that a poet is able to understand it, converting this presence into words that are capable of delighting us.
