Abstract

This paper analyzes the way through which otherness encompasses Manoel de Barros' work, specifically, in the poem “Lições de R.Q”, a component of the section “Os Outros - The best of me is They”. Based on the artistic procedures of Rômulo Quiroga in the visual arts and the poetry of Manoel de Barros, this study focuses on the confluence of identities (that of the lyrical self and that of the visual artist) which results in the evocation of hidden times and spaces and, simultaneously, remains latent before the features through which both are built as unattainable and unspeakable otherness, as conceptualized by Emmanuel Lévinas and Maurice Blanchot.
