• Abstract:

  This text seeks to point out certain aspects and procedures that enable a dialogue between horizons of lyrical creation and certain active forces of skeptical philosophy (NUNES; 2010; KRAUSE, 2004; BRITO, 2013), especially in the compositions arranged in the set of “Poemas novos”, by Rubens Rodrigues Torres Filho (1997). In association with this purpose, the metacritical study (COMPAGNON, 2001; TODOROV, 2015) of texts from the reception stands out, which highlight the skeptical and ironic bent of the poet's lyrical creation. Among them, the examinations carried out by Viviana Bosi (2004) on the ways in which the ironic procedure and the skeptical perspective interact together with the attitude of the poetic subject in a horizon of historical narrowing, or, then, in interrelation with the understanding of reality. and the world associated with the creative process of composition, seen by Isabela Gaglianone (2013). Thus, it is emphasized that poems such as “in the beginning” and “praise of the hollow” provide, simultaneously, movements of contention of acquiescence and of compositional expansion.
