Eavan Boland, Poesia, Queer Phenomenology, Sara Ahmed, EkphrasisResumo
Situando In a Time of Violence de Eavan Boland, em diálogo com Queer Phenomenology de Sara Ahmed, este artigo afirma que retratos ekphrásticos feitos por Boland de coisas físicas queerizam tanto concepções fenomenológicas tradicionais sobre estar-no-mundo, bem como numerosas convenções da poesia irlandesa. A preocupação de Eavan Boland com objetos em todo o volume mina representações literárias de mulheres irlandesas difundidas como figuras essencializadas, mitificadas ou emblemáticas. Sua preocupação com coisas físicas permite a rejeição de atos de violência redutiva e discursiva tão frequentemente perpetrados por homens irlandeses – autores e poetas – do passado. Boland opta por focalizar objetos do cotidiano, corriqueiros e esquecidos, alinhando assim naturalmente sua poesia com Queer Phenomenology, de Sara Ahmed. Tanto Boland quanto Ahmed resgatam perspectivas marginalizadas dos cantos escuros da existência. A poesia de Boland demonstra uma consciência aguda de que o retorno “às coisas em si” (Husserl 18) fornece caminhos de recuperação, multiplicidade e autonomia diante de narrativas hegemônicas e de anonimato sobre a feminilidade irlandesa.
