Abstract
The analysis of the political content of Oswald de Andrade’s poetic work makes it clear that, when poetry touches politics, the idea of politics transforms itself no less than the idea of poetry. But in order to understand how this reciprocal transformation takes place in his work—a transformation that has its consequences both in the poetic practice and in the theoretical and critical reflection—it may be necessary first of all to understand the importance of the idea of law in the ways Oswald de Andrade conceived the relations between poetry, grammar and history.
