Um teste de resistência
Da estrangeiridade em Marília Garcia
Abstract
In her text “The poem in the test tube”, Brazilian poet Marília Garcia recalls the global Ebola outbreak of 2014 and recounts a personal memory: the numerous tests and examinations she underwent at the Office français de l’immigration et de l’intégration during a stay in France. In this context, the immigrant is someone that must be tested. What relationships are thus established between foreignness and suspicion of disease? How does Marília Garcia’s poetry – between namely Parque das ruínas (2018) and Expedição: nebulosa (2023) – allow us to question history and geography, resist testing devices, and question the boundaries of the world?
