A influência de Oswald de Andrade na poesia concreta/contemporânea de Augusto de Campos

Abstract

This article takes a comparative approach to Oswald de Andrade's aesthetic-literary project and its influence on the concretist movement, especially in Augusto de Campos' poetry. In the 1920s, the modernist idealized Brazilian and avant-garde poetry, simultaneously nationalist and regressive, cosmopolitan and modernizing. Its aesthetic formulation is opposed to the literary traditionalism of the 19th century, which still hovered over the 20th century, being, therefore, a project of aesthetic renewal of a “genuinely” national poetry and of its time. From the 1950s to the 60s, the emergence of Concrete Poetry meets what was built in the 1920s by Oswald de Andrade. A constructive posture emerges for poetry, making it also avant-garde and inaugurating new textualities for the poetic. Above all, the author Augusto de Campos incorporates in most of his publications new platforms, including the media, laser projection, technologies, video clips, sound, image, etc., in an exercise of updating and renewing poetry.
