TTHE VARIOUS WAY STONES

ARNALDO ANTUNES WITH CORA CORALINA, CARLOS DRUMMOND DE ANDRADE AND JOÃO CABRAL DE MELO NETO

Abstract

The paper's aim to analyze and present a reading of time as an anachronism based on the poem “pedra de pedra”, inserted in the book Agora aqui ninguém precisa de si (2015), by  Arnaldo Antunes, poet, composer and visual from São Paulo. We will first examine how this poem, based on the element “stone”, presented in this paper as a reading device, dialogues with texts from different times and authors, to know: Cora Coralina, Carlos Drummond de Andrade and João Cabral de Melo Neto. Then, in a second moment, it seeks to present how the “stone” becomes a constituent element of the hometown of the poets under study. For this, it was chosen to analyze these texts by the anachronistic bias, that is, non-linear, since this concept contributes so that we can read a current text observing in it characteristics of other times. Therefore, the following books are used as a theoretical framework: Diante do tempo: História da arte e anacronismo das imagens, also from Georges Didi-Huberman (2015), O que é um dispositivo? (2005), by Giorgio Agamben, O que é o contemporâneo? e outros ensaio, by Giorgio Agamben (2009), Seis propostas para o próximo milênio, by Italo Calvino (1990), amongst others materials.
