Resumo
In the attempt to recover the principles that guided lyric modernity enacted by the Galician poet María do Cebreiro in O grupo (2011) and A guerra (2013, written with Daniel Salgado), Os inocentes (2014) suggests a contemporary reading of Romanticism: within the consciousness of the impossibility of their poetic voices lies a radical ethics of existence and resistance in its recourse to imagination and emotion as a means to generate revolutionary truths. Lyric reformulation of individual experience implies a trust in a relative truth, which is linked to a reflection upon the aporic complexity of innocence: this notion assumes the contradictions between violence, justice and history. Utilizing the theories of Alain Badiou and Jacques Rancière, this article investigates the possibility of a political function for the poetic: in Os inocentes, this is enacted through a restoration of the lyric’s sacred undertones
