Description
Summary:This essay tries to read Monodrama (2009), by Carlito Azevedo, as a manifestation of the post-medium condition in contemporary poetry, in the sense that it is a kind of work in whichan archaelogy and ontology of the image precedes and sustains a relationship with the world – a historical and political world that is, at the same time, a world of the technical image.Verse, on its turn, looses all consistency emphasized by the modern tradition of focus on the medium, such as it occurs in A educação pela pedra de João Cabral, that being achieved either by driving image and media to a saturation point, either by turning to the alternative tradition of the prose poem. --- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25094/rtp.2017n23a447
