Abstract

Eduardo Sterzi é um dos principais críticos de poesia e cultura brasileira de sua geração, a dos nascidos nos anos de 1970. É professor na Unicamp e pesquisador arguto que já contribuiu de maneira contundente com os estudos da poesia medieval ao estudar Dante Alighieri, bem como se tornou referência incontornável para os estudos do modernismo brasileiro com escritos sobre Drummond, Murilo Mendes, Antropofagia, entre tantos outros temas e autores. Escreveu também livros de poesia e tem se dedicado a trabalhos curatoriais de artes visuais. O título dessa conversa/entrevista que fizemos com ele retoma o título do ensaio de abertura que Eduardo Sterzi escreveu para o livro Saudades do mundo (2022). Se no ensaio há uma leitura de Oswald de Andrade como escritorexperimental, na conversa que travamos com ele, também temos a sensação de que as ideias levantadas, as hipóteses aventadas, apontam para uma força experimental da experiência crítica e poética de leitura da nossa tradição literária e também de nossa história cultural dos séculos XX e XXI. O leitor dessa conversa terá a oportunidade de entrar em contato com algumas das inquietações do professor, poeta e crítico Eduardo Sterzi em seu vasto trabalho de experimentação crítica.

Review

This review concerns "Conversa – 'Experimento e Experiência': uma entrevista com o professor, poeta e crítico Eduardo Sterzi," an article presenting an interview with Eduardo Sterzi. The abstract effectively introduces Sterzi as a leading figure in contemporary Brazilian literary criticism and culture, a prolific scholar, poet, and curator whose work spans from medieval studies (Dante) to Brazilian modernism (Drummond, Murilo Mendes, Antropofagia) and beyond. The interview's title, drawn from Sterzi's own essay for *Saudades do mundo* (2022), immediately signals a thematic focus on the interplay between experimentation and experience, hinting at the depth and critical self-awareness that likely characterize the conversation. Overall, this piece promises to be a timely and valuable contribution, offering direct insight into the intellectual landscape of a significant contemporary thinker. A key strength highlighted in the abstract is the comprehensive scope of Sterzi's work, positioning him as an "incontornável" (inescapable) reference for various fields. Readers are promised an engagement with the "inquietações" (concerns/restlessness) of a mind that approaches literary tradition and cultural history with a distinct "força experimental." This experimental drive is not confined to his poetic output but extends to his critical practice, suggesting a dynamic and innovative approach to reading and interpreting. The interview thus serves as a unique platform to explore how Sterzi's critical and poetic "experimentation" shapes his understanding of subjects as diverse as Oswald de Andrade – whose experimental writing is central to the essay informing the interview's title – and broader cultural narratives of the 20th and 21st centuries. This offers a compelling opportunity to understand the methodologies and underlying philosophies of a scholar known for his incisive contributions. The publication of this interview would undoubtedly be of great interest to a wide academic audience, including scholars and students of Brazilian literature, modernism, literary theory, comparative literature, and cultural studies. By providing direct access to Sterzi's current thoughts and intellectual journey, the piece functions as more than just a biographical sketch; it offers a living document of critical engagement and intellectual development. It presents a crucial opportunity for readers to grapple with the complexities of contemporary Brazilian literary discourse through the lens of one of its most articulate and influential voices. Consequently, this interview is highly recommended for its potential to stimulate further discussion, enrich understanding of Sterzi's extensive oeuvre, and provide valuable insights into the ongoing "experimentation" within literary criticism itself.
