Poema obsceno: haveria lirismo na poesia social?

Abstract

This article intends to analyze a poem written by Ferreira Gullar – “Poema obsceno” – and verify if in the so called ‘social poetry’ would there be lyricism as this word was applied historically and as it was/is studied by specialists of the lyric genre. Gullar’s social poetry has as leitmotiv a social-political criticism and, because of that, it may resemble restrictive and vain once it sends to a particular time. Would it be lyrical? For an answer, it is necessary to have in mind the concept of lyricism applied from ancient times to contemporary productions through an analysis of the chosen poem.
