H’era: erotismo, pulsão e desejo em Max Martins

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the relationship between sexuality and language that marks the poetry of the poet Max Martins (1926-2009), especially in his book H'era (1971). For this we rely the psychoanalytic theory, situating that the foundational encounter between body and language brings as the residue the object a, which responds at the same time by the structural emptiness and desire. We observe, from the analysis of some poems in the book, that the poet works by taking language to the limits, exposing the lack of meaning, and how, in this territory, creates a space of erotism in which the know-how with the object a stands out in a desiring scene with the reader.
