Eros e babel na obra intermidiática de Arlindo Daibert: Processos de leituras intertextuais

Abstract

This study discusses the intertextual relationships in the plastic artist Arlindo Daiberts three-dimensional work through a cutting of his production. This cutting was based on intermediality, highlighting especially the plastic arts and literature. The focus given in ourresearch confirms and explores the existence of two substantial recurrences in Daiberts work: eroticism and the concept of Babel. The theoretical framework consists of Mikhail Bakhtins and Julia Kristevas approach to Intertextuality, which was revisited by Leila Perrone-Moisés;as well as Antoine Compagnons contribution towards Quotation.The approach to the artists production was favored by the association between textual criticism, which demanded the construction of a personal reading process; and genetic criticism supported by the production and investigation of the artists underlinings, drafts and notes.In order to study the intertextual dialogues found in the works oriented by the eroctic factor, we selected the following texts: Catulli Carmina (1991), Cântico dos Cânticos (1980s) and Alice (circa 1989). The concept of Babel, however, can be observed in Moradas (1992), Pequeno Livro (1987) and Babel (circa 1989). All the works analysed are part of theAlciones Amaral Family Collection in Juiz de Fora, which made the direct investigation of the objects easier.
