Forty years of the journal Signo, seventeen years of “Encounters with Poetry”

Abstract

In this paper, we address the integrative action of research, teaching, and extension, called Encounters with poetry, performed by the members of the Poetic Studies Research Group for seventeen years. Re-present data and theoretical view of the first report on the experience, published in the Signo Journal, 1999 edition, and also generated actions for systematic reports of the group. This article also recovers two book chapters: one published in Diálogos de Sevilha (Dialogues of Seville), and the other one in the book Literatura e outras linguagens (Literature and other languages). Moreover, it moves forward with data and studies developed until the early 2015. Predominantly associated with the concepts of repercussion-resonance and reverie, based on Gaston Bachelard, the research also incorporated studies of other theoreticians as well as from the Brazilian song. We emphasize that, in activities for the public lover of the poetic, participants set out their feelings to the images of the poems, as well as to their existential trajectory, in an environment that values the ludic and pleasure.
