Poesia dos sentidos: versos sinestésicos de Alice Ruiz

Abstract

This study aims to analyze poems by Alice Ruiz in her work Dois em um (2008), focusing on her use of the figure of speech synesthesia. Among the diverse themes and elements of the genre in this book, which brings together all of the Curitiba poet's publications from the 1980s, the use of the figure of speech of synaesthesia as a stylistic resource in her poetic work stands out. Bearing in mind that the majority of published works on this element in literature are based on its use in classical literary schools, such as symbolism, or in the poetic work of classical authors; and because this is a topic that unites both the field of linguistics, as it contemplates the field of stylistics, and the field of literature, this research aims to be useful for studies carried out in both of these areas.
