Floating Lanterns Aylê-Salassié Quintão

Aflowered with dreams and nightmares, sneaky archetypal figures walk the path of people giving them existential pitches all their lives. These cunning and tireless protagonists of human reality are called here "Floating Lanterns", such is their expressive cultural peripheral force. They emerge in everyday life, eventual and unusual, as "involuntary memories" (Proust). Distracted and confused by political and economic conjuncture issues, most individuals do not perceive this protagonism as a poetic time. Man inhabits the world poetically, said Friedrich Holderlin. Intriguing, isn't it? It configures the relation of the character with six of these ghosts.
