Leminski at stake: naming and displacements

Abstract

This article describes some situations of Paulo Leminski's nominations. The intention is to analyze how the inscription of the proper name is made. For that, I highlight the nominations realized in poems and other Leminski's texts; in critics' text; and I dedicate special attention to Cézar Migliorin video Meu nome é Paulo Leminski. The proposal is to consider these nominations as works of language that has as effect the return of intensity, or not, performing the consecration or the erasure of the name (and of the corpus related). The aim is to suspend the separation between the instances of criticism, literature, cinema and video, considering them as practices of writing in a large sense, as Roland Barthes' proposal.
