FROM POEMA'S PROCESSES TO THE POEMA / PROCESSO: Moacy Cirne's Semiological Vanguardism
Key-words: Poema/Processo, Potiguar Literature; Avant-gardes; Modernity and Postmodernity.
The Poem/Process is a Brazilian avant-garde movement that emerged in the 1960s, as a result of Concrete Poetry studies. It counts with important participation of poets from Rio Grande do Norte, who are represented at this research by Moacy Cirne. Therefore, we aim to describe analytically the avant-garde movement - in its Potiguar ramification - and then perform an analytical-descriptive study from Potiguar Literature at appearence and post-action periods from Poem/Process (created at 1967 with a strategic stop at 1972). With this, the bibliographical research performed focus on theories and poems that have been published in collections, by Moacy Cirne, starting from the strategic stop imposed by the movement. So, we will theoretically base this search with the contribution of the works: Por Uma Vanguarda Nordestina (1976), written by Anchieta Fernandes, that regards the 20th century avant-gardes; to contextualize the movement we call upon Informação da Literatura Potiguar (2001), written by Professor Tarcísio Gurgel, and Poesia Submersa - Poetas e Poemas no RN - Volume II (2015), written by Alexandre Alves. Thus, this search searches to understand the modernist movement and its unfolding, placing Poema/Processo avant-garde as a piece of Potiguar Literature at postmodernity. All of this, thinking in the importance that the artistic-literary Poema/Processo movement had, justifying the development of this research, also promoting the dissemination of important local authors and works at national literary scenery.
