O Romanceiro da Inconfidência, de Cecília Meireles, e o Romanceiro gitano, de Federico García Lorca: um esboço comparativo

Abstract

This work is a comparative study of two literary works: The Conspiracy Romanceiro, by Cecília Meireles, (1901-1964) and the Gitano Romanceiro, by Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936). In this comparative outline, we found a point in common between these two authors belonging to so distant cultures: Cecília brings to her Romanceiro the voices of the conspirators imprisoned during the historical event known as Minas Conspiracy; Lorca seeks to represent the voice of the gypsy people, historically victim of persecution and social exclusion. This means that, facing a historicalcultural perspective of their countries, Cecília (Ouro Preto - Brazil) and Lorca (Granada/Spain) poetically assume the voice of the losers. From this point of convergence, we examined the theme of death, the metaphors of the moon and the horse, besides the symbology of colors. For this research, we sought theoretical and critical support from researchers of the literary works studied here, as como Ana Maria Machado (2005), Darcy Damasceno (1975), Norma Goldstein (1998), Valéria Lamego (2001), Leila Gouvêa (2001); Miguel-García Posada (1981), Ian Gibson (2006), Allen Josephs e Juan Caballero (2009), as well as scholars of comparative literature as Gilberto Mendonca Teles (1979), Sandra Nitrini (1997), Tania Carvalhal (1999).
