HIDEOUS GREATNESS: CONSIDERATIONS ON THE SUBLIME IN AUGUSTO DOS ANJOS
Abstract
These considerations aim to discuss the diction of the sublime in Augusto dos Anjos’ poetry, whose particularities seem to respond to the perception of the crisis of the ideal. The opening of language to a transcendent dimension, in Augusto dos Anjos’ poetry, reveals contact points with the representation of the low, renewing the diction of the sublime when it approaches the grotesque. Augusto dos Anjos’ poetry finds in the articulation between devices of the sublime and the grotesque a platform to renew the language in the service of greatness, no longer accessible to the traditional means of elevation discourse. Augusto dos Anjos reveals an expressional modality that we call the hideous sublime, a poetic diction that seeks to create the sublime effect through brutal rapture.
