Taking sides with the unconscious: in defense of a wild poetry, with Ana Estaregui
Keywords:
unconscious; wild poetry; contemporary poetry written in Portuguese language; Ana EstareguiAbstract
In this essay, we propose a reading of Ana Estaregui's poetry (2016, 2022), in dialogue with Jacques Lacan and Claude Lévi-Strauss, as a work that leverages the unconscious while embracing a wild thought. The focus on combinatorial strength, on sensitive alliances between words, and repetition as something beyond communication makes us recognise the impulse inherent in a writing guided by this kind of knowledge, which is not known, moving and chaining itself automatically in speech, expanding the sources of the poem. We call the right to return this movement that the verse makes towards nature, that is, to the place where the privilege belongs to the sound, and not the meaning of the words.
