The poetics of the "palimpsest" in Ricardo Gil Soeiro: the linguistic and cultural specters of the classical tradition
Abstract
The publication of the tetralogy Palimpsesto (2016) by the Portuguese poet Ricardo Gil Soeiro represents an amazing contribution within the literary field of the Iberian studies to the relationship between philosophy and literature. In front of the nihilistic consequences of the deconstruction, it tests the powerless possibilities that the poetic creation could contain yet. This paper tries to highlight two of its aspects: the hermeneutic base for a dialectics of the personal pronouns and the spectral traces of the Greek-Roman classical tradition.Downloads
