Abstract
Na sequência do falecimento da escritora portuguesa Ana Luísa Amaral (1956-2022), este ensaio analisa os aspetos esperançosos da sua última coletânea poética, Mundo (2021). Apoiando-se no conceito queerente da própria poeta, e também em diversos comentários de teóricos internacionais acerca do ‘optimismo queer’, o presente texto examina três poemas particularmente frutíferos de Mundo, concentrando-se nas suas mensagens (quase) positivas. Salienta-se a utilização irónica e não-definitiva da esperança em Ana Luísa Amaral, com o objetivo de celebrar o seu projeto ético-poético de diversidade sexual e identitária.
Following the death of the Portuguese writer Ana Luísa Amaral (1956-2022), this essay analyses the hopeful aspects of her final poetry collection, Mundo (2021). Using the poet’s own concept of queerente [queerful], alongside several comments made by international theorists regarding ‘queer optimism’, this text examines three particularly relevant poems from Mundo, concentrating on their (almost) positive messages. It highlights Ana Luísa Amaral’s ironic and non-definitive use of hope, aiming to celebrate her ethical and poetic project of diversity in terms of sexuality and identity.
