IVAN GOLLS “PARIS BRENNT”: DISENCHANTED METROPOLIS

Abstract

This article analyzes the poetry of Iwan Goll, based on the poem “Paris brennt”, which celebrates a century in 2021 and consolidates itself as a mark of modernist poetry. The investigation aims to trace an interpretation of the organic whole turning to the cell and returning to the organism. As a part of a wider project that foresees the edition of an anthology with translations of the more experimental poems and texts, the article implies a process of translation from german language to Brazilian Portuguese. There is a series of discussions implicated in this paper, which mainly concern poetic creation within the scope of modernist poetry in a more general way, poetry that is insubmissed to the rules that lead the construction of a póesie pure.
