RESUMO 

O artigo aborda a influência do escritor bengali Rabindranath Tagore na obra de duas escritoras latino-americanas que faziam parte do movimento Modernista: a chilena Gabriela Mistral, laureada com o Prêmio Nobel de Literatura (1945), e a brasileira Cecília Meireles. Por meio de análises textuais de Gabriela Mistral e Cecília Meireles, argumento que a contribuição de Rabindranath Tagore foi importante para a literatura de mulheres na América Latina no século XX. Ao analisar Gabriela Mistral e Cecília Meireles como escritoras e leitoras, o artigo questiona as distinções entre ambas as práticas culturais, além de mostrar que a América Latina vivenciou, bem antes dos estudos pós-coloniais, o desenvolvimento de uma poética que não somente criticou o paradigma patriarcal, mas também o eurocêntrico.

 

PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Gabriela Mistral; Cecília Meireles; Rabindranath Tagore, literatura de mulheres; Sul Global.

 

ABSTRACT 

The article depicts the influence of the Bengali author Rabindranath Tagore on two Latin American women writers, both part of the Modernist movement: the Chilean Nobel laureate (1945) Gabriela Mistral, and the Brazilian Cecília Meireles. By examining the poetic reflections on Tagore and his influence on Mistral’s and Meireles’ prose and poetry, the article argues that Tagore’s reception was important for women’s writing in 20th century Latin America. In analyzing Mistral and Cecília as writers and readers, I will question the differences between both cultural practices and show that Latin America became the hotspot for the development of a poetics that prior to the advent of postcolonial studies, criticized the patriarchal model, and the Eurocentric perspective of the cultural vanguard.

 

KEYWORDS: Gabriela Mistral; Cecília Meireles; Rabindranath Tagore; women’s writing; Global South.

The journal adopts the author-date citation system.

 

Short citations (up to 3 lines) should be included within the main body of the text, enclosed in quotation marks, with the author, date, and page number cited in parentheses before the punctuation. The complete reference should appear in the REFERENCES section.

 

Example:

 

Consideramos que ainda hoje é válida a ideia de que o trabalho crítico exige uma “autorreflexividade de pensamento, sentimento e ação sobre a própria prática (Collins; Bilge, 2021, p. 86)”. 

 

When the author’s name is mentioned within the sentence, only the year and page number should appear in parentheses.

 

Example:

 

No ensaio “Kant and cosmopolitanism”, Nussbaum (2010, p. 27) considera que o cosmopolitismo constitui [...]

 

Long citations (more than 3 lines) should be presented in indented blocks, without quotation marks, in single spacing. The author, date, and page number should be included in parentheses before the punctuation, with the full reference provided in the REFERENCES section.

 

Example:

 

O não-lugar da literatura corresponde exatamente à impossibilidade de serem concebidas instâncias dotadas de valor intrínseco ou de caráter essencialista. Por transitar entre discursos e funcionar como referência constante para a construção de objetos teóricos de outras disciplinas, o discurso ficcional está cada vez mais vivo e presente. Resta saber de qual literatura estamos falando e de quais discursos a ela já se integraram. Sem um lúcido diálogo sobre a relação que atualmente se pratica entre os meios de comunicação de massa, a indústria cultural e uma economia de mercado, torna-se impossível delimitar qualquer lugar específico conferido aos discursos, sejam eles literários, científicos, religiosos ou políticos (Souza, 2002, p. 24).
