O olhar e a literatura em Carmen Soler e Maria Luisa Bombal

Abstract

This dissertation proposes the analysis of the theme "the look and the literature" in the lyric and in the Latin American novel. We aim to present the writer Carmen Soler (1924- 1985), unknown in Brazil. Her lyrical female writing is the starting point of poetry in the Paraguayan literary context, as a poet and revolutionary in the dictatorship years. We present theoretical reflections and referrals that elucidate the approach of Comparative Literature, through a descriptive methodology. For this research, we have as corpus the work Poemas (1970), because it is the the only publication made by Soler while living, tracing a parallel with the Chilean Maria Luisa Bombal (1910-1980) in the novels A Última Névoa (1935) and A Amortalhada (1938). - considering what differs them and what approximates them, because even without having ever seen each other, however, they are moved by the love for writing. This study also aims to theorize the look and the literature, intercross the vision of the authors, the look that narrates in the works, offer this eye in the eyes of young women writers, allow the reader to see them, for every encounter is fascinating. The work has the context of the patriarchal society from 1930 to 1980, twentieth century. From a bibliographical point of view, the theoretical scope is anchored, especially, with Merleau-Ponty (2013), in his work O olhar e o espírito (Eye and mind); with Novaes, in his work O Olhar (1993); with Benjamin, in O narrador (The storyteller) (1994), in the poetry of Baudelaire, among others; Paraguayan Literature, by Miguel Àngel Fernandez (2011); and about Bombal, Kahmann (2010) Marcari (2013), Hosiasson (2013) and Figueiredo (2015).
