Geopoetry of the good death through the coralline streets of thanatography

Abstract

In this work we present the necrology poem “Quem foi ela?”, by Cora Coralina. Published in a newspaper in 1965, for the first it is presented in a periodical. Walking through the streets and alleys of Cidade de Goyaz, we intend to analyze the female voices movement echoing in movements of biographical and biobibliographic forces. The work articulates the Coralina poetics with the image of Idalina da Cruz Marques and her important social role in the Cidade de Goiás throughout the 20th century. In a geopoetry full of everyday life, the “Boa Morte” discourse is disseminated in polytonalities in the articulation of the moment and the memento. In a geopoetry exercise that, in a dialogical process, becomes thanatography, polyphonic criticism (in its reverberation as field and comparative literature) asserts itself as a reconstruction of ideas and against all kinds of authoritarianism. In this way, walking along Coralina streets, we continue along the frontier of knowledge, in the raizamas, as a verbal contemplation of the world spectacle.
