Of when and how one can read an enjambement

Abstract

This research aims to canvass the problems of a critical investigation of the works of Caio Meira through an opposition of verse and prose. First this paper will focus on the problem of a verse theory that make the enjambement its sole criterion, what would make the production of Caio Meira become somehow paradoxical. Then, this research will focus on a specific poem of Meira, in which a verse theory becomes equally problematic as long as the pragmatic context of reading changes. Finally, this investigation will conclude with an intersection of both the previous topics in the form of a predominance of the potentiality of the gesture of reading, in all of its contingent matters.
