Abstract
This article wondered to what extent the work of Roland Barthes could be a starting point to address contemporary literature and made this concern echo in the reading of three contemporary Brazilian poets — Leila Danziger, Aline Motta, and Marília Garcia — who have in common that they open a space for their poetry bordering text and image. The bet of this article is that the French critic and writer, who lived and wrote in the second half of the 20th Century, can give us some tools to read in a different way, theoretically, with a focus on the writing practice and based on materiality, the body and the subject, elements that are at the heart of the poetry of some women who are writing here and now.
