Abstract

The poems of El descuido, by Silvio Mattoni, take place in the city, in its diverse possibili­ties and dialogues. This essay will establish a theoretical-fictional dialogue between Mattoni’s poems and the narratives of the Portuguese writer Gonçalo Tavares – an author contemporary to Mattoni. In addition, questions raised by Argentinean critic Beatriz Sarlo (who understands the city in a Walter Benjamin’s perspective), and also by the French theoreticians Michel Foucault (with the concept of “care of the self”) and Gilles Deleuze (with the concept of “becoming”) will enter this dialogue.
