Eduardo e Mônica: a caminho da estética de Bakhtin

Abstract

In this work, we have as an object Eduardo e Monica, by Renato Russo, to verify aesthetic aspects aligned with the Bakhtinian perspective. To carry out the study, we have as a general objective to analyze the possibilities of bakhtinian theory to handle the aesthetics. And as specific objectives to analyze elements of the compositional form of the poem genre under study; analyze elements of the poem’s style; and reflect on aesthetics in this theoretical perspective. Among the authors who support the study, we highlight Bakhtin (1997); Fiorin (2016); and Faraco (2011). As for the methodology, the study is qualitative because it works with the universe of meanings, exploring beliefs, values, and, in the case of the poem under study, forms, which point to the aesthetics in relation to ethic. Among the findings of the analysis, we highlight that the author-creator, when recovering Pascal, problematizes the possibility of a relationship between reason and the heart, pointing to the surplus of vision that his position allows, for the paradoxical, contradictory nature of love.
