Summary: This research studies the political bias of Paulo Roberto Sodré's literary criticism,
considering a selection of poems and some examples of his poetic prose. Among
the themes in his writing are: violence against women in the family and in society
in satire critical texts of Galician-Portuguese troubadour poetry; violence and
authoritarianism against indigenous peoples. These aspects amplify the interest
and the need to interpret the literary plots and the aesthetic perspectives of the
work of this important writer and artist from Espírito Santo, which is still little
studied. The works Um pássaro de fogo: reconto (A firebird: recount), 2020; some
poems from Interiores (Interiors), 1984; from Poemas de pó, poalha e poeira
(Poems of Dust, Dust and Dust), 2009, and “Autopoética ou um autor à luz da
leitura insatisfeita” (“Autopoietics or an author at an dissatisfied reading”), 2024b,
will be prioritized, besides to interviews, epigraphs and statements by the author
(excerpts as textual margins revealing a writing-response). We aim to interpret
the political character in both Paulo Sodré's poetic writing and criticism. His
poems move between poems 'in prose', visual poems, and sound poems. In this
way, a writing-dialogue is evident, manifested, for example, in his “Autopoetics”
(2024b), in the reconto (2020), in the linguistic experiments, in the critic's practice,
perspectives that construct his aesthetic-political bias. Authors who contribute to
our theoretical referential are Adorno, Arriguci Jr., Barthes, Beckett, Bornheim,
Bosi, Alexandre Costa and Rodrigo Barbosa, Didi-Huberman, Gama Filho,
Pélbart, Rivera, Saltarelli, and Sodré himself, among others.
