Espaços vagamente delimitados acerca da paisagem

Abstract

This work intends to look at the landscapes inserted into meeting points between the creative processes of Fine Arts and Literature, based on the theoretical and literary formulations of Maurice Blanchot. Rather than a historical or epistemological search into this landscape, it proposes a search, a walk along which to discover is to surround, to walk around, and not necessarily to find, to conclude. From the image of thought suggested by Blanchot (having Mallarmé as a starting point) of two languages the literary and the ordinary I propose an analogy with two symbolic landscapes, two scenarios - however distinct, not the only ones: a possible poetic landscape, based on an idea of exterior lying on the authors premises that a work is, that is, that the painting, the book, exists independently in itself, laying the foundations of its own reality and another idea the ordinary, everyday landscape, as contemplated nature. Within this search I tread across other landscapes and creative universes that in their own ways touch one another when looked at under the same light: Fernando Pessoa, Machado de Assis, Osman Lins, Maria Sibylla Merian, Nathaniel Ward, Farnese de Andrade amongst others. In this first volume, named Vaguely Delimited Spaces I suggest the image of a nongenealogic tree as a basis for the theoretical structure where I present the chapters and in a second volume named Vaguely Delimited Spaces about a landscape story I exercise an image that comes about in various forms, as another possible story or yet the same story told from another point of view the point of view of the landscape that sees, because its story is endless, and its state, immanent.
