A Poetics of Permanence in Leonardo Fróes’ Chinês com Sono
Keywords:
Leonardo Fróes, Permanence, Time, PoetryAbstract
The present essay assumes a reading of the book Chinês com sono (Sleepy Chinese), by Leonardo Fróes (2005), pointing to a poetics of permanence. This is related to the studies we have been doing about deceleration experienced in literature. Critics like Jonathan Crary (2016) and Rodrigo Turin (2019) discuss the acceleration and monetization of the experience of time in the modern capitalist world. The philosopher Franco Berardi (2020) and critic Rebecca Solnit (2002) point out possible ways of resisting the constant imposition of this accelerated dynamic. The American author tells us that the gesture of walking can be a poetic political act; the Italian, in turn, discusses the insurrection of language through poetry. Finally, Ailton Krenak (2022), when questioning about time and ancestry, helps to refine our critical reading. From this brief critical background, we read Fróes’s book as insurgency (and urgency) that places us in another temporal dimension, living in poetry that brings together the symbolic field and nature.
