A Sereia e a Musa: videocentrismo, fonocentrismo e a saída pelo concretismo verbivocovisual

Abstract

This paper aims to contrast apparently irreconcilable views of the problem of the phoné (i.e. the voice) in Western thought: the idea of phonocentrism, guided by Jacques Derrida's deconstruction, and that of videocentrism, conceived by Adriana Cavarero, revealing their divergences and their unexpected complicity, without falling into the binarisms denounced by the work of both authors. Our critical targets are the contemporary poetry and its philosophy of creation, both which will require a specific theoretical formulation. In this case, the mythological categories of the “siren” and the “muse”, heavily conceptualized, will serve as support for theorizing the problem in the specific context of its application to poetry. Finally, we select verbivocovisual concretism as an aesthetic possibility of convergence.
