UC Santa Barbara

This study is focused in Carlos Drummond de Andrade’s poetic creation, paying particular attention to the way this oeuvre manifests an intensified relation with the reality through the perception, the memory and the reflexive discourse.

Through the different chapters is given special detail to concepts such as minimum, excess, slowness and questioning as elements that allow us to think the difference and deconstruct and homogeneous discourse. This study also tries to profound on the way the gaze to the floor and the humor create a precarious and humanized sublime that intensifies the relation between the self and the world and rethink concepts such as inutility, insignificant, purity and value.
