Abstract Details

2019, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Spanish and Portuguese.
This work analyzes the poetry of the Luso-Brazilian author Manuel Inacio da Silva Alvarenga (1749-1814). Using the theoretical framework provided by the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin, it considers Silva Alvarenga’s poetical works as a contextualized response to political and cultural issues of the moment. Therefore, the reading of this neoclassical poetry that results from the work takes in consideration historical events of the Portuguese empire and of the symbolic space created by poets, the Arcadia. The work is divided into three major blocks: 1) a review of the intellectual appropriation of neoclassical Early Modern poetry by nationalistic and subjective discourses throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; 2) a vocabulary of key concepts that have to be understood within the context of the eighteenth century; 3) the analysis of the poetry produced by Alcindo Palmireno, the pen name used by Silva Alvarenga. This reading illuminates cultural dynamics internal to the Portuguese empire that remain active today in social media.
