Japão nos. 1,2, ... A invenção do oriente na poesia de Miguel-Manso
| Resumo: | In The Decay of Lying (1889), Oscar Wilde says that « the whole of Japan is a pure invention. There is no such country, there are no such people. » Almost a century later (1970), Roland Barthes travels to Japan to find himself lost in an empire of signs. Why does the Orient become a net of fictions, artifices, exiles, why does it multiply in a sequence of short poems, false haikus - Japan n. 1 to 7 - in Miguel-Manso's Contra a Manhã Burra (2008) ? Through a close reading of these poems, this essay aims to describe the imaginary of Japan in Miguel-Manso's work. |
