Intimidade sem sujeito: Ana C. e a desmontagem do diário e da carta

This article analyzes the construction of intimacy in Ana Cristina Cesar’s poetry. The objective is to show that the poet creates a type of impersonal intimacy, which refutes the idea of subjective expression. Here, we have an important displacement between her poetry and the poetry which was written by her colleagues of generation and the type of literature that was defended by them, the so called marginal poetry of the 70’s. According to Ana C., the author’s intimacy would not find in literature a way to be represented. In that sense, the text’s intimacy is a reading effect, able to be constructed and created by language procedures. Hence, her poetry is more and more constructed as a place of indetermination and opening of meanings, where the intimacy writing – and the common sense of the genre – undergoes each time a more radical deconstruction.
