ENTRE MEMÓRIA, HISTÓRIA E POLÍTICA: LIRISMO E ENGAJAMENTO POLÍTICO-SOCIAL NA POÉTICA DE XOSÉ LOIS GARCÍA

Abstract

Xosé Lois García is one of the leading writers representing Galician literature and culture and presents a vast production of poetic works, short stories, anthologies, journalistic essays, narratives, as well as works for children. His literary production evidences a synthesis between the ideological radicality and the high aesthetic quality. However, studies concerning, particularly, the poetic production of this writer are scarce, fact that confers relevance to the present research. In this sense, the present work aims to explain the political dimension aesthetically translated in the poetry of Xosé Lois García, aiming at an interpretation of the formal traces of García's poetics, an author who is part of the tradition of engaged literature. Results indicate that Garcia's poetic texts can be seen as an engaged position with political and social causes, as well as a form of cultural contestation of the dominant order, from the elements of resistance to cultural, political and economic domination, thus giving, voice to losers. It is a qualitative research work, of bibliographical and critical-analytical nature, based on a theoretical framework of criticism and literary analysis, engagement and literature, domination and resistance, such as DENIS (2002), HALBWACHS (2004), TORRES (2015) ), BUADES (2013), BENJAMIN (1986), MOURA (2009), JELIN (1998).
