Entre a ruptura e o contínuo: a poética da fragmentação em Photomaton & Vox, de Herberto Helder

Abstract

The apparent fragmentation of Photomaton & Vox, by Portuguese poet Herberto Helder, raises a dialog with Jena Romanticism, source of the studies of the textual modality called fragment. Other theoretical frameworks are brought into the discussion, but is the idea of a poetics of fragmentation, a concept which brings romantic and modern ideas of the fragment, that is believed to provide the basis to the reading of Helders literature. This study also compares texts of the works Apresentação do Rosto (1968) and Photomaton & Vox (1979) in order to identify similarities and differences, contributing to reflections on the (dis)continuity in Helderian poetic.
