Rimbauding Worlds: Creation of Deranging Senses

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Creativity and Culture ((PASCC))

Abstract

In this chapter, Leão and Guimarães focus on the poetic, visionary and wanderer perspective of Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891), found in his “Letters of the Seer” (1871), aiming to highlight the potential of poetry to provoke a creative derangement in the living experiences of making senses about the I-Other-(chaotic) World relations, reason-unreason dualism and futurity as unknown. The authors make connections between poetry, psychology and philosophy under the perspective of semiotic-cultural constructivism in psychology (Simão, 2010), bringing Rimbaud into a dialogue with theoreticians such as Mikhail Bakhtin, William James and Jaan Valsiner.
